Chapter 190 Finally
"The young master called me exactly seven days ago and asked me to prepare these. Once he signed the doc.u.ments, Young master instructed me to show these to you and Miss Luo if anything happened to him. I believe now is the time he was talking about." The attorney explained causing everyone to look even more horror-struck.
This was just too shocking. It wouldn"t be a problem if Yu Chen did this out of excitement or out of his love for Luo Xiaolei, but why did this sound like he did this because he knew that something bad would happen to him?
"Gu Jinyang… did you know about this?" after a long while, old man Yu finally spoke, still sounding appalled.
"Yu Chen never said anything to me about this. I don"t even know that he had met attorney Yang." Gu Jinyang answered and the old man pinched the skin between his brows as he shook his head in utter disbelief.
"Yaoting, tell me, did my grandson tell you anything else?"
"Master Yu, I am sorry but even I don"t know why the young master did this. He didn"t say anything to me other than telling me to show these doc.u.ments to you and Miss Luo if something happens to him and to tell you not to force Miss Luo to sign anything."
Silence reigned again after the attorney"s statement. They didn"t even know what to say or how to react about this. This was simply mind boggling.
They remained speechless as the old man stood up and approached his grandson on the bed. He stared at him for a long time, probably asking him lots of questions in his mind, until another phone call disrupted the stalemate.
Gu Jinyang received it and they could already tell that the call was about another trouble.
"Please, don"t panic Mr. Jiang, the chairman will make an important announcement tomorrow… yes… so rest a.s.sured… everything will settle down."
After Gu Jinyang ended the call, the old man returned to his seat. This time, he looked at Luo Xiaolei with extreme emotions in his eyes.
"Xiaolei, dear…" the old man looked devastated. What his grandson did broke his heart again and again because he couldn"t help but feel that his grandson would not be waking up anymore. He couldn"t help but think this way after hearing what the attorney had said.
At that moment, the old man couldn"t even continue speaking. He didn"t know what to say to Luo Xiaolei. He was sure that she must have had already thought about the same thing – that Yu Chen might not really wake up again and that was the only sensible reason why he did this. He must have felt that his time was up which was why he decided to do this beforehand.
Luo Xiaolei felt momentarily disoriented. She stared at Yu Chen"s signature and she didn"t know why but her heart was aching to an excruciating degree. She tried her best not to sob since everyone was still around but the pain in her chest was just so unbearable she couldn"t control herself anymore. So she dropped her head and covered her face with her palms.
The old man was right. Luo Xiaolei thought the same thing. Everyone who knew about what Yu Chen did and his instructions to the attorney would definitely think the same. Especially when they felt the inexplicable pain that the old man and Luo Xiaolei were suddenly feeling at this very moment.
Luo Xiaolei thought the same but she was still not convinced. And she would never believe it. She would never believe that her Yu Chen would never wake up again. No matter what, he was going to definitely wake up.
"Mr. Yang, I"m going to sign now." Luo Xiaolei suddenly declared without waiting for old man Yu to speak. There was no hesitation nor doubt in her voice. It was as if she even became more determined and more decisive than ever.
"Xiaolei, are you sure about this?" the old man aaked. "Xiao Chen might –"
"Please don"t worry about me, Mr. Yu." Luo Xiaolei cut him off. She didn"t want to hear the rest of his sentence. "I have already decided to marry him tonight." She smiled genuinely, causing the old man to tear up again.
The procedures were then processed quickly. In just a few minutes, Luo Xiaolei was already a married woman.
Old man Yu embraced his now granddaughter-in-law but he couldn"t make himself say a word. He simply embraced her silently before someone called again, forcing the old man to leave the hospital and head back to his company along with Gu Jinyang.
The room was now silent. Luo Xiaolei was sitting on the chair beside Yu Chen, with the marriage certificate in her hand.
"Yu Chen…" she began. "I"m now your wife… we"re finally married…"
Luo Xiaolei was smiling as she told him the news. However, her tears also started to roll down her cheeks.
"I"m happy. I used to be afraid by the thought of marriage but now, I"m very surprised. It"s not scary at all. I"m sure this is because the person I am married to is you…
"My sons, little Ran and Rui are now officially yours too. I can"t explain what I feel right now but all I can say is I"m very excited to see your reaction once you wake up…
"That"s why… you have to wake up very soon, okay? Don"t make your wife wait for too long… understand?"
Luo Xiaolei wiped the silent tears falling from her eyes. She stared at him and kissed his forehead very gently.
As she watched him, Luo Xiaolei began to think deeply. She was trying to convince herself that Yu Chen might just have had a hunch that something bad might happen to him that was why he prepared all these, but she couldn"t, because she was thinking about something else. She couldn"t help but think that maybe, he prepared all these not because of a hunch, but because he knew all along that something was going to happen to him. Could it be that… just like her… he was also…
