Chapter 995 - 224: Epilogue 18
Tang Yige was carried into the elevator by Rong Sinan. As the elevator doors closed in front of her with a ding, she suddenly gasped and snapped back to reality.
Rong Sinan held her with one arm, pressed the floor number, and then lifted Tang Yige horizontally again.
Tang Yige frowned tightly, silently staring at Rong Sinan, as if asking him for an explanation.
Rong Sinan paused and said, "You’ve been too tense lately. I’m taking you to see something."
"Let’s talk about it later."
Tang Yige’s tone was indifferent. She gazed into Rong Sinan’s eyes with determination, "Let’s go back to the ward. I need to be with Little Rui!"
Ding...
The elevator doors opened on the first floor.
Without hesitation, Rong Sinan carried Tang Yige and strode out.
Tang Yige’s eyebrows were knotted into a "deadlock," seemingly impossible to untangle. Her clear eyes burst with a hint of resentment as she looked at Rong Sinan, "I said, go back to the ward!"
"I’m taking you to see something. We’ll return after you see it!" Rong Sinan didn’t look at Tang Yige this time either.
Tang Yige looked up from below, only able to see his taut, strong jaw.
This also clearly conveyed to Tang Yige his determination!
Suddenly, a surge of stuffiness filled Tang Yige’s heart. She clenched both her hands tightly, but pressed her lips so firmly that they turned pale, still not saying anything more to Rong Sinan.
Rong Sinan, however, suddenly tightened his hold on Tang Yige, pressing her head against his left chest, closely, tightly!
In her ears came the deep and steady beat of his heart.
For no reason, a sting surged at the corner of Tang Yige’s eyes, prompting her to close her eyes.
...
Where Rong Sinan took Tang Yige was none other than Jinxiu Huadu.
The car stopped in the parking area of Jinxiu Huadu District A, and Tang Yige looked from the car window toward the apartment building, seeing only this building.
The scene from that day flooded into her mind.
Seeing the increasing pallor on Tang Yige’s face, Rong Sinan’s heart choked with pain. He reached out to hold Tang Yige’s hand resting on his leg, his voice hoarse, "Wait for me."
Tang Yige didn’t look at him nor responded, her eyes red, staring at the building.
Rong Sinan looked at Tang Yige for a long time before gritting his teeth, letting go of her hand, opened the car door, and got out, striding solemnly towards the apartment building.
Watching Rong Sinan’s tall figure disappear into the building, Tang Yige’s hands on her lap curled up bit by bit.
...
Rong Sinan returned to the apartment, which was already as clean as new, presumably cleaned by someone Zhang Xu arranged.
Rong Sinan stood at the entrance, his eyes scanning the apartment darkly. The hands hanging at his sides clenched tightly.
He originally intended to bring Tang Yige upstairs with him.
But in the car, seeing her lost and panic-stricken just at the sight of the apartment building, his heart ached with reluctance.
So he gave up the idea of bringing her up.
Also because he couldn’t rest assured leaving Tang Yige downstairs.
Not lingering in the apartment, Rong Sinan quickly took what he needed and headed back downstairs.
...
Rong Sinan briskly exited the apartment building, his moist eyes fixated in the car’s direction, yet he didn’t see Tang Yige in the passenger seat.
A pang clenched at the tip of Rong Sinan’s heart, his handsome face turned pale, and he ran over.
Planting his palms on the car window, Rong Sinan anxiously scanned inside the car, confirming Tang Yige wasn’t inside.
Closing his eyes briefly, Rong Sinan turned around, urgently searching the surroundings with his gaze, still unable to find Tang Yige.
He guessed Tang Yige might have already returned to the hospital.
Rong Sinan ran around the car hood, intending to get in the car and chase after her, thinking he might still catch up.
But as he rounded the hood, Rong Sinan’s racing legs suddenly came to a halt.
His eyes tightened, staring at the woman curled up on the ground beside the car, her head buried in her knees, her body gently trembling.
A dull, surging pain at the heart’s center came too suddenly for Rong Sinan to handle. For a moment, he couldn’t take a step toward her.
After a long while.
Tang Yige slowly lifted her head from between her knees, staring up at Rong Sinan with eyes swollen like blisters, red and plaintive.
Her exquisitely beautiful face was streaked with tears.
Rong Sinan only felt as though his heart was being painfully extracted by her!
Finally, he strode forward, bending down to embrace Tang Yige’s shoulders, lifting her from the ground and pulling her forcefully into his arms, tightly, fiercely.
Tang Yige froze stiffly in his embrace for a few seconds.
Suddenly, with a "wah," she burst into tears!
"Woo..."
Tang Yige reached out and held Rong Sinan’s firm waist tightly, just as Rong Sinan held her with force.
"Wah... Wuuu..."
In less than a minute, the shirt in front of Rong Sinan’s chest was soaked.
The damp shirt clung to his chest, ice-cold to the bone, piercing the heart!
"Yiyi."
Rong Sinan couldn’t use words to comfort Tang Yige, who had finally collapsed and burst out after holding on for over half a month. He could only hold her tightly, continuing to kiss her cool ear and wet side face, calling her nickname over and over with a hoarse voice.
"Wuuu... What should I do, ah... What should I do?"
Tang Yige cried as she spoke, her voice full of helplessness and sorrow.
Rong Sinan closed his eyes, moist liquid seeping from the corner of his eye, "Yiyi..."
"Ah, I’m so scared, I can’t lose him. I really love Little Rui, love him so much..."
"I’m useless, I’m completely useless!"
"I can’t protect Little Rui! It’s all because of me, the suffering and torment Little Rui endures are all because of me."
"I can’t forgive myself, I hate myself so much..."
"I wish it were me lying on the hospital bed now, me who is unconscious."
"Why does it have to be Little Rui, why does it have to be him? He’s so young, he’s only five years old..."
"Ah... Brother, it hurts so much, it hurts so much, Brother, I feel like I’m going to die, it hurts to death..."
"Ahhhh..."
"Yiyi, Yiyi..."
A strong man, at this moment, too, tears fell like rain!
However.
It’s not just Tang Yige who is in pain like dying.
Rong Sinan feels the same!
If he could, he would also wish to bear everything happening to Yige and Little Rui all by himself!!
Tang Yige cried in Rong Sinan’s arms for nearly an hour, until her throat was hoarse and she couldn’t cry anymore, before she slowly stopped sobbing.
Then Rong Sinan picked her up, and they sat in the back seat of the car.
He didn’t let her down to sit on the seat, but let her sit on his lap.
Tang Yige cried until exhaustion, too weak to argue about this, leaning against him with her long wet eyelashes covered, breathing weakly.
Rong Sinan was not in a hurry.
Quietly holding her gently, waiting as her emotions gradually calmed down.
Only then did he take out the items he had brought from the apartment, silently flipping it open in front of Tang Yige.
Tang Yige heard the sound of pages turning, her long lashes moved slightly, her eyelids slightly lifted, looking at the "thing" Rong Sinan unfolded before her.
It was actually a coloring book.
It was a coloring book she had bought for Rong Rui...
Tang Yige still remembered, when she bought this picture book for Rong Rui, the little guy looked at her speechlessly and said he thought it was some fun toy, and who would want such childish stuff!
Yet, although the little guy showed various distaste with his mouth, he still took it.
But seeing how the little guy didn’t appreciate her gift, Tang Yige thought even if he reluctantly accepted it, he wouldn’t use it.
So when she saw Rong Sinan flip open that page with pictures, Tang Yige was somewhat surprised.
Because on that page of coloring picture, the little guy had filled it in with colored pencils.
When Tang Yige bought it, she had some private thoughts, so she bought one of those family-oriented ones...
To be blunt, she just wanted to brush her presence, recognition in Little Rui’s heart, making him feel through the drawing process that having a father and a mother in a home is a very happy thing.
Rong Sinan flipped open, in front of Tang Yige, a warm family scene of eating at a dining table, even the dishes on the table were completely colored, and the colors matched well.
Tang Yige’s eyes welled up with tears again.
Rong Sinan lowered his head and kissed her on top of her hair, then opened another page.
But that page was uncolored.
Tang Yige noticed that the picture only had a boy and a father.
Rong Sinan continued to flip.
Appearing in front of Tang Yige was another complete colored picture.
It was a picture of a family of three visiting the zoo.
Rong Sinan kept flipping.
Yige discovered, as long as it was a picture of a family of three together, the little guy had completely colored it.
And after looking through this coloring book, Tang Yige was already covering her mouth, sobbing uncontrollably...
