Chapter 956: Sudden Loss (7)
She was stunned.
When she snapped back to her senses, she hurriedly helped Ling Xiao up and left with him.
After they left, Mu Huan turned around to look at her granny’s profile. She seemed to have suddenly lost all her strength as she slumped to the ground, her tears falling again.
When Bo Junyan returned, he saw her slumped there, crying so sadly.
Heart aching, he strode forward and pulled her into his embrace.
As Mu Huan looked at her granny’s profile, more and more tears welled up in her eyes. “I don’t have a granny anymore… This is how it is now, I don’t have a granny anymore… Just like this, I won’t be able to see her again… Just like this… I can’t do anything… Just like this…” Mu Huan clutched her chest, feeling so terrible that she was about to explode.
“You still have me… Hey, you still have me…” Bo Junyan hugged her tightly and comforted her gently.
“If I hadn’t acknowledged my mother, my granny would still be alive and well…”
“If you hadn’t acknowledged your mother, something else might have happened.” Bo Junyan didn’t want her to blame his granny’s death on herself. This wasn’t her fault.
“What could have happened…” There was always someone protecting her granny when she’s in the Bo residence. It was her mother who’d felt that it was inconvenient to bring along someone to the Ling residence and said that she would definitely take good care of her granny. She felt that that was her biological mother and that she would definitely be fine with her. Hence, she did not let anyone follow her. If someone had followed her, such a thing would definitely not have happened.
“Xiao Huan, this isn’t your fault. You can’t think like this. If you do this, Granny will be worried and upset in the sky.” Bo Junyan didn’t believe in ghosts and G.o.ds, but at this point, he could only use these to comfort her.
“Does heaven exist? Is there a cycle of good and evil in this world? If there is, why would my granny die?
“My granny was the best person in the world. She had never done anything bad. We had such a tough life in the past. Whenever someone from a poor family fell sick and came to us, she would check them and give them medicine for free. She’d saved so many people and did so much good. Why did she die just like that? Why?”
“Sometimes, death isn’t a punishment but a release. Granny went to reunite with your grandfather. She was very happy when she left.”
“Happy? Do you think she, who’s living happily, had wanted to die…?” In her granny’s eyes, there was only reluctance. She had worked hard and suffered for the rest of her life. Now, she had finally gotten a good life and her health was getting better. With her daughter and granddaughter accompanying her, she was living so happily, but she suddenly pa.s.sed away.
Bo Junyan: “…”
He was never good at comforting people. This kind of pain of losing his family was not something any words could comfort.
He could only hug her tighter.
Mu Huan did not speak further. She only cried in his embrace. Her cries were so sorrowful and heart-wrenching.
Although Bo Junyan’s heart ached, he did not say anything else. He only hugged her. It was a good thing that she could cry. Only by crying could she vent her sorrow.
…
Mu Huan sent Xue Hua’s body back to Yun Cheng for burial and informed Mu Dongsheng.
When Mu Dongsheng received the news, he rushed to the mourning hall.
He didn’t expect his ex-wife’s mother to pa.s.s away so suddenly.
When he arrived, Mu Huan, who was dressed in mourning clothes, was kneeling in front of the mourning hall. She was holding a wooden stick and flipping through the paper money in the brazier to make them burn even more vigorously.
After crying for a few days, she could no longer cry. Her expression was as numb as a robot’s.
Seeing her like this, Mu Dongsheng walked forward with heartache.
