Looking at the number in his call logs, Zhang Xiaohua repeatedly checked to make sure that this was the number that his mother had just given him.Liu Yan was dying and Zhang Xiaohua didn"t want to waste time, so he dialed again. Twice in a row the phone rang before the other party actually rejected the call and sent him straight to voicemail. Zhang Xiaohua slowly became certain he wasn"t calling the wrong number, the other party should be Liu Yan"s daughter.
Zhang Xiaohua tried hard to remember in his heart why she would she would hang up at the sound of his name. It was probably due to the past Zhang Xiaohua"s mistakes.
Presumably it was because of Liu Yan"s loyalty and care for their family leading to her slightly neglecting her own daughter. That along with the way Zhang Xiaohua used to treat her mother probably made the daughter resentful and dissatisfied.
He remembered hearing his parents talking about the situation multiple times.
But the way Zhang Xiaohua saw it, no matter what kind of grievances they had, they would have to place it aside for Liu Yan. No matter how dire Liu Yi"s relations.h.i.+p was with her mother, if she wasn"t able to see her before her death, she would definitely regret it for the rest of her life.
In a hurry, Zhang Xiaohua dialed a dozen times in succession. The results were the same, which made Zhang Xiaohua anxious and angry.
However, after thinking about it, Zhang Xiaohua slowly calmed down.
Since the other party didn"t want to hear his voice, he would send a text message. They were mother and daughter related by blood. Zhang Xiaohua didn"t believe that when she heard that her mother was seriously ill and admitted to the hospital she would still be indifferent.
Zhang Xiaohua kept moving back and forth while flexibly tapping the virtual keyboard. Soon, he sent out text messages in quick succession. Unless she was a cold-blooded person, she would certainly not ignore it.
After that, Zhang Xiaohua began to wait anxiously. He only hoped that the other party would quickly see his text messages.
Time pa.s.sed, minute by minute...
The sun set and night came.
At this point, Zhang Xiaohua had waited for more than five hours. Filled with angst, he checked his phone every few seconds but he didn"t get a response from the other party.
10 o"clock in the evening Zhang Xiaohua still hadn"t receive a response and finally he couldn"t bear it. He was about to call the other party again. When his phone suddenly sounded...
As Zhang Xiaohua was about to speak, the other party spoke first, the voice was extremely calm: "Is the information you sent me, true?"
Although the other party could not see it, Zhang Xiaohua nodded madly and hurriedly said: "Yes, Liu Yan is seriously ill and she is still continually chanting your name asking to see you."
Speaking of this, Zhang Xiaohua paused here and lowered his tone, he said earnestly: "I know you hate me, but no matter what happened before Liu Yan is your mother and she needs you. I beg you, come back as soon as possible and see your mother. The doctors are unsure of how long she has."
After listening to Zhang Xiaohua"s words, the other party issued a slight sigh.
"Are you really Zhang Xiaohua?"
"Liu Yan is very kind to me. I grew up under her careful care. In my heart, she is like another mum to me. In the past I didn"t appreciate how much she did for me, but now I have seen the light." Said Zhang Xiaohua.
The other party said with cold sarcasm, it was easy to hear the resentment in her voice: "Yes, in her heart you"re like a son to her. So much so that everyone else takes second place in her eyes. Since she doesn"t regard me as her daughter, why should I recognize her as my mother now?"
Zhang Xiaohua was filled with anger and was about to swear but he stopped himself.
If you think about it, it was no wonder that this girl was resentful, because she was right. Liu Yan did give a lot of her time and care to Zhang Xiaohua. No matter what he said, he couldn"t change this fact.
However, the reason why Liu Yan spent so much time on Zhang Xiaohua was because in the past, when he was younger, Zhang Xiaohua was extremely weak. Therefore, Liu Yan had to take care of him often.
Now Liu Yan was on the verge of death, crying her daughter"s name, which was enough to prove how much she loved her daughter.
Zhang Xiaohua tried to calm down his complex emotions and calmly said: "I understand that you hate me but Liu Yan is really going to die. You are her only relative in this world, even if you hate her, can"t you grant her this peace on her deathbed? I imagine that you hate her because she didn"t treat you as a daughter but aren"t you not treating her as your mother now? If you do this, what is the difference between Liu Yan and you? What qualifications do you have to remember Liu Yan?"
"I..." The other party was speechless.
But then, her shock turned to anger: "Who the h.e.l.l do you think you are to judge me!? You abused my mother for years. Now, you suddenly tell me that my mum"s going to die and now you"re pretending to be righteous."
Liu Yi, filled with anger, cut the call once again...
