Chapter 1098: Chapter 1098 On the Airplane
Yan Chunlu helped her mother up and held her tight, Yu Shaohan was sobbing uncontrollably.
"Mom, I know it’s my fault, please listen to me, I need to go to Yun Province Hospital."
Yu Shaohan, who had been crying sorrowfully, jerked her head up at her daughter’s words, "You’re still going to find him?" Her daughter surely wants her dead.
Yan Chunlu shook her head and smiled wryly, "Mom, listen to me, this matter is closely related to me. Even if it’s not Bai Song, there are two other comrades I owe an apology. For my own peace of mind, I must go and see how they are doing, whether they are well and have recovered. Otherwise, your daughter will have no face to live on in this life.
I’m not doing it for Bai Song! I’m doing it for myself, I don’t want to live in guilt and remorse for the rest of my life, that would truly be worse than death."
This time, Yu Shaohan truly felt relieved, her daughter seemed to have grown up all of a sudden.
"I’ll go with you, don’t worry! I’m not going to supervise you or watch you! It’s just to atone for my sins, my words today were too harsh, and I don’t know why I was so possessed to say them, how could a normal person say such things?
If I don’t go and see, my heart will not be at ease. You’re my daughter, by reason and emotion, we should both go to visit them. What’s more, I’ve heard that their recovery is not so good."
Yan Chunlu held her mother’s hand, "Alright, I’ll go with you."
With a determined gaze, Yan Chunlu had grown up this time.
On this side, as soon as Bai Xiao stepped out, she stopped beside the car and turned around.
An Zhiyuan was just behind her and also stopped, the two looked at each other.
An Zhiyuan turned his gaze away, "I’ll go open the car door."
He was grabbed by the arm by Bai Xiao, "Brother An, An Zhiyuan, Big Brother An, haven’t you got anything to say to me?"
Her gaze was as sharp as a knife, so sharp that An Zhiyuan could hardly bear it! He cursed his brother-in-law in his heart.
He said such a thing would happen, and now, here it is!
The first to die is him!
"Xiaoxiao, let me open the door first, any conflicts we have, we’ll resolve at home, I promise to speak without reservation."
His wife clearly had seen through his little thoughts.
He opened the car door and stuffed her inside.
Bai Xiao was so angry that her chest hurt.
"What is my big brother’s situation now? Even if others don’t know, how can you not know? If something happens to my big brother, how much danger would I have averted if I were there, you... you..." Bai Xiao was too angry to speak, the two of them understood it well, she could have ensured Bai Song was alright.
But who knows now what problems Bai Song might have, going there now is like medicine after death.
An Zhiyuan hurriedly gripped her hand, feeling her anxiety.
"Xiaoxiao, listen to me, at least let us provide you an explanation. Don’t you know in the hearts of your big brother and sister, you are the most precious, the most important? They would rather suffer themselves than let you worry.
Your big brother feared just this scenario, so as soon as he woke up, he contacted me, repeatedly urging me never to let you know, not only you but also your big sister and second sister. I understand your big brother’s thoughts, so I agreed."
That’s the kind of people they are, always sharing the good news instead of the bad. Many times, they wouldn’t even tell the family their true situation, just like when I’m on a mission, I have no choice.
Tears glistened in Bai Xiao’s eyes, Bai Song was still as kindhearted as in the past life, always thinking about the family, but how could her silly brother forget he had a sister with great medical skills here?
For others, it’s worrying to no end, but for her, not telling her the real situation is what worries her.
"But don’t you know I... also... have that ability!"
An Zhiyuan gave a bitter smile, patted Bai Xiao’s hair, and handed her a handkerchief, "Silly girl! How could I not know, even if I did know, I couldn’t tell you. Have you forgotten what you were doing at that time? You were still in the epidemic area, your own life hanging by a thread, what could I tell you?
I was already worried sick about you then. I admit I was selfish; at that time, I was truly afraid you would rush over upon hearing this news regardless of anything else.
I didn’t know whether I could even make it out alive myself, let alone Big Brother, that’s why no matter what, I couldn’t let it out, Xiaoxiao, forgive my selfishness, I can’t lose you."
An Zhiyuan’s words made Bai Xiao collapse in tears in his embrace.
After letting her cry enough, he wiped away her tears, "Alright, I was wrong, just this once, never again. I’ll book a ticket for you when we get back. In fact, I’ve always been in touch with your big brother, he’s now 50-60% recovered. The problem with his leg is indeed serious, and the team has already permitted his discharge, and there’s a permanent scar on his face that’s hard to recover. I know you could fix it, but not now, let your big brother recover slowly, you can’t be too conspicuous."
An Zhiyuan naturally knew Bai Xiao’s capabilities, a scar, no matter how big, was no issue for Bai Xiao.
But Bai Song’s current situation might not be a bad thing; shifting careers means that Bai Song can work locally, at least he won’t have to fight on the front line. Bai Song himself also wanted to switch careers, after all, he’s almost thirty and the family is urging him to get married; in the military, Bai Song’s rank is just about what it is, further advancement is not likely.
Bai Song also wanted to come back; he is a kind and filial person, still thinking of taking care of Li Chunhua.
Bai Xiao nodded, wiping away her tears! Her eyes were already swollen like peaches.
"Alright, I forgive you. Don’t ever lie to me again!"
Bai Xiao knew that it wasn’t Bai Song’s request, and under those circumstances, An Zhiyuan absolutely wouldn’t have told her.
Back then, her condition had scared a lot of people, and An Zhiyuan didn’t dare to close his eyes for several days and nights! Afraid that when he woke up, it would be a dream and what he’d see after a nap was her corpse.
It scared An Zhiyuan enough, let alone making An Zhiyuan tell her this bad news.
In the evening, An Zhiyuan booked the ticket, Bai Xiao had already called Zhang Huan for leave, of course, Zhang Huan agreed.
Bai Xiao had a family emergency, asking for leave was perfectly reasonable; mainly, he hadn’t received the official papers from the hospital yet, Bai Xiao was still his subordinate.
Early the next morning, Bai Xiao went to the airport, An Zhiyuan took her to the airport, watching her as she entered the security checkpoint with her luggage, only then waving goodbye.
Parting once again through the security doors.
Bai Xiao boarded the flight to Yun Province.
On the plane, she unexpectedly encountered Yu Shaohan and Yan Chunlu, the three of them exchanged glances, Bai Xiao silently put her luggage up and sat down, fortunately, they were not seated next to each other, otherwise, it would have been unbearable.
Seeing Yu Shaohan reminded her of what Yu Shaohan had said.
But Yan Chunlu kept greeting and speaking to her, Bai Xiao ignored her, yet she persisted without giving up.
