Chapter 351: Years Pass by (XIV)
But as Wen Jiao listened to Wen Yongwei's words, her tears became more and more violent.
She shook her head and choked up, "I'm not a good daughter. I always make you worry. I have done a lot of wrong things. I am not sensible enough. For so many years, from childhood to adulthood, I have never thought about sharing the burden on your shoulders. I only know how to eat, drink and have fun."
Wen Jiao judged himself with the harshest words.
But Wen Yongwei's eyes were so kind, he said gently: "Jiaojiao, do you think that if Daddy really wanted to train you to be a so-called elite and let you be independent like Bian Yue, would Daddy spoil you so much?"
Wen Jiao was crying. She pulled Wen Yongwei's hand to wipe her tears aggrievedly, her voice trembling, "You want me to be a happy person."
"Yes, our Jiaojiao just needs to be a happy person." Wen Yongwei said: "Dad has worked hard for the Wen family's business all his life, just to let my precious daughter live a carefree life. Jiaojiao, you are my daughter, Wen Yongwei, and my daughter just needs to be happy."
Wen Jiao held Wen Yongwei's hand, placed it over her eyes to block her tears.
"I know I know everything."
"Jiaojiao," Wen Yongwei looked at her lovingly and said, "Don't blame daddy for Zhaoli's matter. Daddy knows that his body won't last for a few more days, and he must ensure that you can still have no worries even after he is gone. I understand that the contract is very unfair to Zhaoli, but... you are my daughter, I can't control others."
Wen Jiao nodded continuously. She was in great grief and couldn't utter a word.
At this moment, Wen Jiao finally understood why in those bloody love stories that were full of coincidences, the male protagonist would always agree to marry someone he didn't love despite his parents' last wishes.
Because no one can remain calm and refuse after the departure of their loved ones.
Wen Jiao thought that no matter what Wen Yongwei said to her now, she would agree.
"You and Zhaoli should be good to each other and don't bully him. He really loves you." Wen Yongwei said, "Live a good life."
Wen Jiao nodded and said, "I will."
Wen Yongwei smiled with satisfaction and said, "Jiaojiao, go call Zhaoli back. There's no need to trouble the doctor. Let's go home."
Wen Jiao shuddered and let go of Wen Yongwei's hand.
She looked at Wen Yongwei with eyes that were already swollen like walnuts after crying, tears streaming down her face, "Dad! How can you not get a checkup? How can your body get better if you don't get a checkup?"
"Jiaojiao, Dad's health will not get better." Wen Yongwei looked at Wen Jiao helplessly and said, "No one can escape death, do you understand?"
"I don't want it! I don't want it!" Wen Jiao cried until she collapsed. She covered her face with her hands, tears flowing out from between her fingers. She shrugged her shoulders and was on the verge of collapse. "I don't want you to be discharged from the hospital! I don't want it!"
"Be obedient!" Wen Yongwei's eyes became more helpless: "Jiaojiao, you can't be so ignorant! Daddy has only one wish now, Daddy wants to leave the hospital."
Wen Jiao didn't understand.
She cried and screamed, just like the moment when she was provoked by Shen Jinci, she was now devastated and crazy.
"I don't want to! No! You can't leave the hospital!"
When Shen Zhaoli came back with the attending physician, Wen Jiao's condition shocked all the doctors.
Shen Zhaoli's face changed. He strode towards Wen Jiao, hugged her in his arms, and comforted the collapsed girl. He said again and again with full of patience: "Jiao Jiao, take a deep breath, don't cry."
It seemed as if at this moment, someone had stitched up Wen Jiao's collapsed sky a little bit.
She calmed down a little, but still held Shen Zhaoli tightly and refused to let go. She spoke with a voice full of grievance, "Dad refused to see the doctor. Dad refused to let him go! Zhaoli! The doctor said that his physical condition is very bad. He can't be discharged now. He can't be discharged!"
"I know! I know." Shen Zhaoli said, "I will handle this matter now. Don't worry, Dad will not be discharged from the hospital for the time being." Wen Jiao finally calmed down.
She didn't know what Shen Zhaoli had said to Wen Yongwei.
However, Wen Yongwei, who had originally insisted on being discharged from the hospital, chose to give in.
But the condition is that Wen Jiao has to go home and live with Shen Zhaoli today.
Wen Jiao agreed.
She returned home with Shen Zhaoli, and walked upstairs in a daze, like a wandering soul.
Shen Zhaoli quickly caught up with her.
Given Wen Jiao's current condition, Shen Zhaoli is worried about her doing anything alone.
So, he said, "Jiaojiao, can I help you take a bath? Let's take a bath and have a good sleep."
Wen Jiao nodded, very obediently, and said, "Zhao Li, please help me persuade Dad tomorrow to get treatment. There will definitely be a turn for the better. We can't give up like this."
Shen Zhaoli looked at Wen Jiao's haggard and collapsed face.
At this moment, all the emotions were boiled into bitter wine. Wen Jiao was unwilling to swallow it. It was only human nature.
"Let's take a shower first and talk after we're done, okay?"
Wen Jiao nodded, looking very obedient.
Shen Zhaoli gave her a bath, dried her carefully, put on her pajamas, and blew her hair.
When doing these things, Wen Jiao let him do whatever he wanted and was very obedient.
When everything was over, Shen Zhaoli gently stroked Wen Jiao's hair and whispered, "Are you sleepy?"
Just as Shen Zhaoli expected, Wen Jiao shook his head.
"Then let's go to the study. I discussed Dad's condition with the doctor today. I'll tell you, okay?"
Wen Jiao agreed.
The two men arrived at the study and sat down. Shen Zhaoli placed some documents and cases on the desk and spread them out.
"Jiaojiao, Dad's condition has now developed to the worst stage. He is in complete organ failure. You asked Dad to undergo a physical examination and receive so-called treatment, but there is only one result. He will become an unconscious vegetable, relying on nutrient solution and various tubes to keep him alive in the ICU. He won't respond when he calls him dad."
Wen Jiao was held in Shen Zhaoli's arms, and he could clearly feel that the girl in his arms was trembling.
Her eyes were red, and she pleaded, "Zhao Li, I want to sleep, I don't want to listen anymore."
Shen Zhaoli hugged Wen Jiao tightly. He looked into Wen Jiao's panicked eyes and said, "Of course we can always use this extreme method to keep Dad alive, but Jiaojiao, he is your father. You should know him very well. Do you think he needs to live like this?"
"He doesn't need it." Wen Jiao's tears fell.
"Yes, he doesn't need it." Shen Zhaoli gently wiped away Wen Jiao's tears and said, "Jiao Jiao, let Dad go home. While he is still conscious, it is better to live with him well than anything else."
Wen Jiao's heart was broken into pieces. She was too sad to speak, but she still nodded with the last of her strength.
