Chapter 1138: Die Together With Him

The complexion and expression on Wen Fenglin’s face looked much better than before. With his hair tied up and his glasses on, he looked no different from usual.

His disposition was calm, and his smile was serene.

“I’m much better. Thank you, young lady. How is Ou Ming doing?” Wen Fenglin asked.

Subconsciously, Yu Lili called to mind the image of Ou Ming’s back toward her with his figure trembling beneath the covers. Her heart started to hurt. Her face started to heat up with the pressure of unshed tears as she nodded her head and said, “He’s doing OK.” She then looked at Ou Huojin and his wife and said, “Uncle, Auntie, Ou Ming wants to get discharged from the hospital and recuperate at home.”

“No way!” Jiao Ziqing started to panic. “How is that possible? His injuries aren’t superficial. We need the doctors and nurses in the hospital to take care of him! What if something were to happen if he’s at home?”

“That won’t happen,” Yu Lili shook her head and looked down, dispirited. “Actually, the most important factor when recuperating is a person’s spirits. The restrictions in a hospital are too many. I, too, would like to let him recuperate at home. Perhaps then…” Her eyes reddened as she trailed off. She pasted a smile on her face and looked up. “Didn’t the doctor say that Ou Ming could regain his sight anytime? If we managed to cheer him up, perhaps his recovery would come sooner.”

From the way Yu Lili was speaking and her tone, it was as if Ou Ming was hers. This made Jiao Ziqing extremely unhappy. But, it was undeniable that what Yu Lili said made sense.

Ou Huojin nodded his head and said, “OK. We’ll have him sent back to our home. Miss Yu, if it’s possible, I hope that you can move in with him. Our son likes you very much, and he’s also very dependent on you now. Would that be possible?”

Although Ou Huojin had phrased the suggestion as a question, his tone made it clear that there was no room for discussion at all.

When Jiao Ziqing heard that, she immediately added, “Don’t worry. We will pay you…”

“Auntie,” Yu Lili’s words almost had to be forced out. Her two hands lying limply at her sides raised in entreaty. “I think you may have misunderstood. I’m with Ou Ming because I like him and I’m willing to be with him. In the same way, now that he can’t see, even if he’s handicapped, I will still take care of him. To put it more bluntly to you, had he died in the car accident, I would have died together with him.”

Ou Huojin felt that Jiao Ziqing’s words were hurtful as well, but he never expected Yu Lili to respond in such a manner.

Together in life and death?

Ou Huojin found that a little hard to believe. As for Jiao Ziqing, she found it completely laughable.

They’d been together for only that many years and here she was talking about life and death?

However, while that’s what Jiao Ziqing thought, she did not voice that sentiment aloud.

When Yu Lili saw Jiao Ziqing’s expression, she guessed it all on her own. Yu Lili was angry but, given the crisis they were in, it wasn’t appropriate for her to show it.

She looked at Jiao Ziqing and laughed forcibly. “The reason is very simple. I love him. I want to marry him. I want to be with him. That’s all.”

“Miss Yu…” Ou Huojin intended to justify his wife’s actions, but Yu Lili interrupted him.

“Uncle, I’ve passed the message. I agree with Ou Ming’s request to be discharged from the hospital. His recovery is more important than anything else. I’ll make a move first. Good bye, Uncle Wen,” she said.

Wen Fenglin curled his lips and nodded, “Goodbye.”

Watching Yu Lili leave, Jiao Ziqing’s expression changed immediately. She ranted, “What the hell? Was she for real? I bet she felt that whatever pay I’d give would never be enough. What’s she’s set her sights on is becoming the Young Mistress of the Ou Household!”
