Love was a kind of purity, friendship was a kind of breadth, and affection was a kind of depth.
Father and daughter suspected each other. Siblings hurt one another. Even among the rich and powerful families, suspicion and individual interests would worsen their familial ties. Till the day when they really wanted to treasure it, this relationship would vanish at the slightest touch.
When Ye Tianming left the neighbourhood, he seemed gloomy. He had disguised and hated for such a long time. However, when he strangled his sister with his own hands, he did not feel happy, but rather lost and empty.
After returning to the hospital, Ye Tianming regained his usual self. He rushed to the emergency room, but it was already empty. Ye Tianming called Yezi. Yezi whispered on the phone, "Father has been rescued. He was almost dead. He is still in a coma."
Ye Tianming acknowledged and went to Ye Bancheng's ward. Several Ye Tianming's bodyguards were guarding Ye Bancheng's ward.
When he entered, Yezi and Liu Piaopiao were inside. Ye Bancheng's nose and mouth were covered with an oxygen mask and his eyes were tightly closed. Ye Tianming asked, "How is Father now?"
Liu Piaopiao, who was standing at the side said, "The situation is terrible. The doctor said that your father was already hemiplegic. Although he was barely rescued, it is difficult to say whether he can survive... We can only wait until he wakes up to observe his situation."
"Oh?" Ye Tianming frowned. He then looked at Yezi and said, "Little sister, go back and rest first."
"No, I want to stay here and accompany Father." Yezi seemed firm.
Ye Tianming added, "I just went out. Elder sister didn't answer my call. She went off. I think she may have gone home. She hates me very much. Although she also hates you, there is no direct conflict of interest. Why don't you go back and talk to her? Father is already in this state. If he can't make it..."
Yezi suddenly said, "Elder brother, didn't you say that elder sister poisoned Father?"
Yezi suddenly looked up at Ye Tianming.
"Oh, at that time we all saw with our own eyes that elder sister was feeding Father. Furthermore, elder sister had a deep prejudice against Father and us."
"Elder brother, if there is no evidence, let's not jump to the conclusion for the time being." Yezi sat down at the side and said, "I will wait here."
Ye Tianming's eyes flashed momentarily. He then nodded and said, "Well, I'll stay with you."
Three people were sitting in the ward. The atmosphere seemed rather depressing for a period of time. Ye Bancheng was lying on the bed and his heartbeat was still extremely weak. Within an hour, the doctor checked in three times. Every time he came in, he would comfort the three of them. However, they could tell from the doctor's tone of voice that Ye Bancheng's situation wasn't ideal.
When the doctor was done with this third visit and was about to leave the ward, Xiao Bing came in, with the help of Gao Fei. The doctor looked at Xiao Bing in surprise and said, "Xiao Bing, you are badly injured. How did you get here?"
Xiao Bing raised his eyebrows and said, "Persevere!"
Xiao Bing was indeed badly injured. His ribs were broken and his wound was very deep. Even if he was recovering well, he would be in great pain at the slightest movement. However, he still insisted on coming for only one reason. Ye Bancheng was Yezi's father.
When Xiao Bing heard of the news from the nurse outside that Ye Bancheng was going to die, so he couldn't lie still. He got Gao Fei to support himself and left quietly, without notifying the nurse, who was taking care of him. Along the way, his aching forehead was covered with sweat and his muscles twitched, but he talked and laughed throughout the journey. He didn't cry out in pain. Although Gao Fei didn't say anything, he was impressed by Xiao Bing's incredible perseverance.
Gao Fei appeared cold, but his heart was filled with pride. Those people that he really admired weren't the rich bosses and young masters. He often admired those true men with strong character. To him, these people who lived in prosperous metropolises were often corrupted by the colourful and prosperous cities. They were greedy, weak, arrogant, selfish and naive. However, he had never seen those characteristics in Xiao Bing. To him, Xiao Bing appeared to be very weak, but Xiao Bing had a very tough spirit. He was awed by Xiao Bing's tough spirit.
The doctor said angrily, "Are you kidding me? How can you run out like this? Aren't you afraid that your injuries will become worse? Who are your family members?"
Xiao Bing smilingly pointed to Yezi who was inside and said, "My family is inside!"
The doctor was speechless. Xiao Bing then said earnestly and sincerely, "Doctor, thanks for your concern, but I want to visit my relatives now. Old Ye is my future father-in-law."
The doctor hesitated, sighed and said, "Go in then. I am not that inhumane. But you must remember, you are also a patient. You are also seriously injured. Haiz, it's tough on you. I have never seen a person like you before. How can you get out of bed with such serious injuries ..."
The atmosphere in the ward was very heavy. Upon seeing Xiao Bing, Yezi immediately stood up and walked over quickly. She frowned and said, "Brother Bing, did you hear what the doctor say? Why did you get out of bed when you are so seriously injured? How can your body take it?"
Xiao Bing touched Yezi's head gently and sighed. "Silly girl, did you hear what I said to the doctor just now? My future father-in-law is lying in bed. How can I not come and visit him?"
Yezi sighed and stopped persuading him. She gently hugged Xiao Bing's other arm. In front of her man, Yezi released her emotions as she buried her face in Xiao Bing's arms. She choked and said, "My father's condition is very bad."
"I understand." Xiao Bing sighed. "Go accompany him. Let's pray together and hope that heaven helps the worthy."
Ye Tianming said, "Brother Bing, quickly lie down against the bed."
Xiao Bing shook his head. Both Liu Piaopiao and him looked at each other and nodded. Liu Piaopiao's eyes reddened. Apparently, she had cried several times.
Supported by Yezi and Gao Fei, Xiao Bing sat down on the chair beside Ye Bancheng's bed. Xiao Bing placed his hands on his knees and looked at comatose Ye Bancheng. He sighed. "Uncle Ye, in fact, I haven't told you that I respect you very much. You repay me for my kindness. As I am the one who introduced Zhang Yizhi to save your life, you have been trying to help me and even support my relationship with Yezi. You didn't look down on me. You are a good man."
"I don't know if you will wake up. I don't know how long you can hold on. I'm afraid that if I don't visit you now, I won't be able to see you again. So I have some words to say to you now. Yezi is my woman and I will love her deeply for all of my life. Although I am only twenty-six years old now and I am probably younger than your eldest daughter, I have experienced much more complicated things compared to your ups and downs in the business world. I have gone through vicissitudes of life and have seen too many separations between loved ones in life or death. My own confidant has died in front of my eyes and in my arms..."
"Death is inevitable in life, but I hate death. Uncle Ye, you may have done many good deeds and some evil deeds in your life. No matter what you have done, you cannot change the fact that you are Yezi's father and my elder. Yezi will be very sad if you die. I don't want to see her cry and you certainly don't want to as we are the two men who love her the most in the world. So if you can... you must persevere... you must watch Yezi grow up. You must see Yezi get married. You must see the birth of your grandchildren and let them climb onto you and call you grandfather. Isn't that great?"
A drop of tear slowly rolled down from Ye Bancheng's eyes.
The air became still. Everyone was dazed and then appeared excited.
Yezi cried. While wiping her tears, she cried joyfully, "Father, you are awake. Father! I'm sorry, I shouldn't have been angry with you in the past. I shouldn't have lost my temper with you every day. I shouldn't have quarreled with my stepmother in front of you. I won't do it again. I just want you to be strong. Sobs. Father…"
Ye Bancheng opened his eyes and looked at his crying daughter. He smiled subtly. He then looked at Xiao Bing. He lifted his hand with difficulty. Xiao Bing quickly reached over and grabbed Ye Bancheng's hand.
Ye Bancheng then looked at Yezi. Yezi wiped her tears and stretched her hand out. She placed her hand on Ye Bancheng's palm and held Xiao Bing's hand.
Xiao Bing sighed and said, "Uncle, I understand. Don't worry. I mean what I say. I will take good care of Yezi forever..."
At this moment, Liu Piaopiao ran out and called the doctor. The doctor came over and examined Ye Bancheng. Everyone looked at the doctor nervously. The doctor was relieved and said, "His vital signs have improved, but he is still not out of the woods... All of you shouldn't stay here. One is enough. Having too many people around is not good for the patient."
Xiao Bing stood up and said, "I'll go back then."
The doctor added, "However, even if the patient is out of the woods, I'm afraid he is no different from a vegetable. He is unable to take care of himself or speak..."
"Can't he talk?" Liu Piaopiao, who was standing at the side asked, "What do you mean by he can't talk?"
"He has temporarily lost his ability to speak. I can't tell when he will recover."
Everyone looked solemn. Xiao Bing patted Yezi on the shoulder and said to Gao Fei, "Gao Fei, help me back."
Gao Fei silently helped Xiao Bing out of the ward. Ye Tianming said to Yezi, "Little sister, go help Brother Bing back. We will be here. Don't worry, it's all right."
Yezi hesitated. She glanced at her father, who was lying on the hospital bed. She then looked at Ye Tianming. Since Liu Piaopiao was also in the ward, she nodded and followed them.
The doctor sighed and said, "Please take good care of Old Ye. I hope Old Ye will persevere. I'll come back later."
"OK. Thanks for your effort, doctor."
After sending the doctor out of the ward, Ye Tianming closed the door. He turned around and returned to the ward. Liu Piaopiao was helping Ye Bancheng to arrange the bedding. Ye Tianming pulled Liu Piaopiao into his arms and kissed her. Ye Bancheng was staring at them. His gaze looked scary. He used all his strength, but he couldn't move at all. He could only use his scary eyes to stare at Ye Tianming and Liu Piaopiao. His gaze was terrifying.
Love was a kind of purity, friendship was a kind of breadth, and affection was a kind of depth.
Father and daughter suspected each other. Siblings hurt one another. Even among the rich and powerful families, suspicion and individual interests would worsen their familial ties. Till the day when they really wanted to treasure it, this relationship would vanish at the slightest touch.
