49: Let me die

Let me die

Shao Hui did not know what was happening at the Mo house, he carried the tragically burned chicken which was given a new life by his father-in-law inside the small hospital where his father was admitted. 2

He ignored the gazes of the mer nurses who were working in the hospital along with the doctors, he was infamous in this hospital because of the debts that were piling up on his shoulders day by day even though his mother-in-law helped him a little here and there in paying the bills of the hospital whose amount was touching the sky, there was only a little she could do.

With his gaze in front, he then took the glass elevator which was in the shape of a capsule to the fifth floor where his father's ward was, as soon as the Elevator came to a stop, he stepped inside the corridor and smelled the scent of disinfectant since the cleaning mer was on duty and was mopping the floor.

Upon seeing Shao Hui, the mer who was in charge of cleaning paused and looked up. His face broke into a smile and he greeted Shao Hui, " Brother Hui, you are here? Uncle Shi will be overjoyed. He was missing you just yesterday and you are here today, sure enough, your heart and Uncle Shi's heart are connected."

Even though the mer in charge of cleaning was speaking of the incident joyfully, he heard from his colleague that Uncle Shi who was admitted to ward number five hundred five was actually discussing getting euthanasia while telling the doctors that he did not want to stay alive and become a burden on his son.

It was then he mentioned Shao Hui saying that he will see his son one last time and ask for his permission to die because he really could not continue a life like this.

" Is that so?" Shao Hui smiled when he heard the cleaning mer's words not realising that the cleaning mer was looking at him with pity while lowering his gaze. " I am glad to hear that Father was missing me, anyway, Wu Ya is there anything that I need to know about? Were there any changes in Father's vitals when I was gone?"

Though he knew that the toxins in his father's body were too deeply embedded that unless they were taken out by experts of the imperial star nothing was going to change, Shao Hui still hoped for a miracle.

But when he saw Wu Ya shake his head, he knew that there was no such thing as a miracle in his life.

The light in Shao Hui's eyes dimmed but then he hitched his smile up and then patted Wu Ya on the shoulder before saying, "It's all right, I am working on it. I am sure that I will one day save enough money to save my father."

As long as he was alive, he will keep trying!

Wu Ya did not tell Shao Hui that even though he was willing to fight for a chance for Father Shao to restart his life, the latter might have already made a decision for himself.

He could only helplessly nod his head as he watched Shao Hui walk inside the ward of his father after knocking on the door.

" Daddy?" Shao Hui peeked inside the hospital room which despite lacking the medical equipment was clean and smelled of room freshener.

Father Shao was watching the television and when Shao Hui followed his gaze and saw whom his father was watching so attentively, his face turned gloomy as he marched inside and snatched the remote from the cabinet and closed the flying television screen which shut down with a flash causing the face of the woman who was speaking while answering the interviewers vanish.

Only then did Father Shao turn to look at his son with tears in his eyes and was startled when he saw that the one who was standing behind him, it was none other than Shao Hui.

" Ah Hui, you are here?" Father Shao wiped his eyes and sniffed.

Seeing him like this Shao Hui did not have the heart to scold his father, all he could do was walk forward and place the tiffin box that he had brought with him on the bedside cabinet before taking out a handkerchief and wiping his father's tears.

" Why do you have to do this to yourself, Daddy?" Shao Hui asked as he wiped the tears off his father's cheeks carefully trying his best not to hurt his molten skin which still looked like it was melting, his gaze fell on the bad eye of his father which needed to be treated and felt his heart ache even further.

His father was almost blind but he was still willing to use his good eye to see that woman's face who did not care about his life and death and shed tears for her.

" I just… I just could not help myself, Ah Hui," Father Shao sobbed as he allowed his son to wipe his tears. His heart thumping painfully in his chest as he muttered, " I mean… your mother and I were obviously happy then how come …she abandoned me like this? How can she abandon us like this and your sister——"

"I have no sister and no mother, Daddy," Shao Hui sharply cut off his father's speech, he still could not understand how his father could keep those two women in his heart when they kicked him out the second he turned useless to them. " They died for me the day when they kicked you out of the house, and it's time you accept this as well, that woman only cared for you because you were beautiful back then, she loved your face, not you and as for the woman you call your daughter, hehe, she loves her pride more than the mer who gave her life, stop thinking about them."

He paused and then added ruthlessly, " Did you not see? They sold me to General Mo and let me get married to that useless daughter of the Mo family. But now that they have money they neither care for you nor me, are they worthy of your tears?"
