Three days later.
Everyone set for Austral City.
Michael Huo used his private aircraft and hired two famous doctors to follow them.
Even this, George’s health condition was still bad.
Jennifer Huo was crying all the way.
She couldn’t understand why he insisted on going to Austral City while he was not good.
Why not stay there to live longer?
But, if he had decided, no matter how she opposed, he would not listen to her.
Linda Yun had already taken the medicine in advance on the plane.
She kept an eye on George all the time.
Other people were kept in silence.
The atmosphere was depressing.
Few hours later.
Because Uncle Pan was informed in advance.
So several luxury car had pulled there already to wait them.
They arrived at Huo house soon.
After arriving at home, doctors checked George immediately. George fainted for many times on the way.
The house was in a mess.
“Patient needs a rest.”Doctor fed him some medicine and George fell into sleep gradually.
People looked at each other. They all didn’t want to leave.
“Please leave the patient to us and trust us! You can have a rest first.”The doctor said in a hurry.
“Let’s get out of here.”Michael Huo said.
They came to the sitting room.
They sat together worriedly.
“Children, come here. Let’s see the dishes in the kitchen.”Kui wanted to active the atmosphere.
“Yes...Debra, go with me to see what boys are doing in the study room.”Paul Mu stood up, too.
Debra Huo nodded and looked at Laura Su, “Do you want to have a rest?”
Laura Su shook her head to show she was fine.
“Well. You can stay with them.”
“Okay.”Laura Su nodded.
She followed them to the kitchen.
“I have said do not come back here. George is not good these days...”Jennifer Huo sat on the sofa, sobbing.
Richard Qu said nothing.
He held Jennifer Huo and comforted her.
“Don’t you know his temper? You can’t stop him. In other words, even if he didn’t come here, that won’t change anything.”Michael Huo looked at Jennifer Huo and frowned.
“He is very weak! It will speed up his death.”Jennifer Huo kept sobbing.
This word let them more upset.
“He doesn’t want to leave regrets. We must respect his choice!”Michael Huo looked at her, “We love him no less than you!”
“He is right.Fei,we all love him very much.”Qu added in a hurry.
“I know!”Jennifer Huo looked at them and cried more worse, “I know. I know everything! But I only have a son...Now...he .....”
She can’t keep saying but crying all the time.
Linda Yun kept in silence.
“Don’t cry. If George sees, he will feel upset too.”Michael Huo was a little unpleasant.
“I am tired. I am going to have a rest.”Linda Yun stood up all of sudden.
She turned around and left.
Richard Qu and Jennifer Huo were stunned.
What does she mean?
Michael Huo followed her immediately.
Back to their room, Linda Yun sat on the sofa.
Michael Huo came to her and put her in his arms.
Linda Yun started to cry.
Michael Huo’s heart was hurt. For many years, he was always reluctant to let her cry.
But now.....
He can’t change anything. He let her experience this pain again.
Any word at this moment can only show his uselessness.
What he can do at this moment is accompanying her.
She gradually calmed down.
“What did the doctor say?”She looked at Michael Huo in a choked voice, “Tell me the truth!”
Michael Huo’s eyes were filled with despair.
“How...long...?”She asked him with her lips trembling.
Michael Huo saw her eyes were filled with tears again. His heart hurt again. He wiped her tears, “Linda. You must know death sometimes doesn’t mean separate and pain. It may be a kind of freedom!”
“Freedom....”
She heard it again.
Thirty years ago, someone had said it to her.
He said death is not a separation. It’s a freedom.
So, she lost him.
“Linda..”
“Tell me!I can take on this.”She grabbed his hand, “Don’t lie to me.”
Michael Huo sighed, “Anytime.”
Linda Yun burst into tears.
She bit her lips hard.
Michael Huo stopped her.
She shook her head badly. She could accept the fact. “You have said he can live alive till the end of the year. Why...Anytime? What does ‘anytime’ mean? You tell me! You tell me!”
“Linda!”The man held her at once.
Linda Yun cried badly.
George...
Her child....
Don’t...don’t leave.
Don’t leave her.
By the time Linda Yun went downstairs, it had been several hours later.
They had already eaten supper.
“Mum.”Debra Huo came to her at once.He guessed she had cried for a long time and he sighed, “You must be hungry. I have asked them to prepare some food for you.”
Linda Yun shook her head and looked at him, “Is your brother awake?”
“Yes. Just woke up. They are all in his room.”
Linda Yun smiled to him. She tried to become happy. “Do I look good?”
Debra Huo’s heart ached. He smiled to her, “Mum is always the most beautiful.”
“Instruct the kitchen to make some noodles for your mother.”Michael Huo said to him.
“Okay.”
At this moment, Linda Yun and Michael Huo came to George’s room together.
A burst of laughter came from inside.
The door was open. They gathered around George and talked about some interesting things.
His eyes were always mild, He was lying on the bed with a smile.
Linda Yun took a deep breath and went in.
They made way for her.
“Mum.”George called her.
“You are awake. Are you hungry? Have you eaten something?”
“Yes.I have eaten. Debra had made some noodles for me.”
“Well, well.”Linda Yun nodded her head. Actually her hands were pinching her thighs in case of bursting into tears.
“George, eat some fruit. These are very sweet.”Jennifer Huo sat beside him to feed him.
“Drink some juice.”Richard Qu added in a hurry.
Seeing this, Michael Huo held her, “Let’s go. eave them to have a talk.”
Linda Yun followed him although she was a little reluctant.
“Mum...”Marie Huo took her arm in a hurry, “Don’t be sad. rother will be fine!”
Linda Yun nodded her head with a smile, “I know I know…ou must be tired today. o back to your room to have some rest. eave this to us.”
“Mum,I will accompany you.”Dennis Huo sat beside her.
“It’s enough. I have your daddy here. Go back to your room to have some rest! Laura, go with them.”Linda Yun looked at Laura Su.
“Ah, well, all right.”
“Mum...”Marie Huo and Dennis Huo still wanted to say something, but Linda Yun frowned.
“All right, all of you go back to your room.”Debra Huo came and looked at them, then he said coldly.
Marie Huo and Dennis Huo dared not staying there, so they went upstairs fast.
Laura Su followed them to her room.
“Dad, mum, the noodles are prepared. Have some.”
Linda Yun didn’t move. Obviously she didn’t have the appetite.
“Linda,go to have some noodles.”Kui came to her and helped her up, “If you don’t eat,you will not have strength to take care of Duoduo.”
“Sorry,I’m not hungry...”
“I know that. But you have to eat, even if you are not hungry.”Kui said and she dragged Linda Yun to the table and looked at Debra Huo, “You can accompany Laura,and I will accompany your mother here.”
