“Yangyang, your mother has been having a ravenous appetite recently. It’s not a good sign to have such a huge appetite all of a sudden. Moreover, your mother seems to be getting more and more listless. She often appears to be in a daze,” Mr. i said worriedly.
“Shall we admit Mother to the hospital, then?” i Yangyang suggested.
“Okay.”
They proceeded to send Mrs. i to the People’s Hospital in the city.
After conducting a physical examination, the doctor said earnestly to i Yangyang and Mr. i, “To be frank, it’s already a miracle for Auntie to have managed to survive until today. She must’ve been well taken care of and did not suffer from any colds or flu. However, her health is deteriorating and her body is not going to endure for much longer. You ought to prepare yourselves ntally.”
They both felt their hearts sink upon hearing the doctor’s words. However, to i Yangyang, it was indeed a miracle for her mother, who had been bedridden for close to eight years, to be able to make it ’til this day.
“Doctor, tell us truthfully. How much longer does my mother have to live?”
“Just a while more, at the very most. I can’t tell you exactly how long, however. She doesn’t have to be admitted anymore. You may get her discharged and bring her ho. Just allow her to eat whatever she wants to.”
The doctor’s words ran through i Yangyang’s mind repeatedly along the way ho from the hospital.
In actual fact, she had already prepared herself ntally several years ago.
Nonetheless, she still hoped to prolong her mother’s life because it would an that their fate would have co to an end when the latter was no longer around.
Seemingly having known that her days were numbered, Mrs. i remained silent throughout the journey all the way until they returned ho. She then broke her silence, “Yangyang.”
“Mother.”
“Shuangshuang may be an ingrate who doesn’t know any better, but she’s still your sister at the end of the day. I don’t know where she ran off to again now, but after all, she’s my own daughter. Your father and I are still worried and concerned about her. Help find her and bring her ho.”
Staring at the look of eagerness and desire in her mother’s eyes, i Yangyang was beyond helpless.
She did not wish to see i Shuangshuang ever again for the rest of her life. However, on account that her mother did not have much ti left, she had no choice but to agree, so as to allow her mother to pass on with no regrets. “I’ll try looking for her,” she answered.
“Yangyang, I’m so glad to have such an obedient and kind daughter like you. I’m sorry to burden you, however,” Mrs. i said with a heartened smile.
“Don’t ntion anything about being a burden. Mother, get so rest while I instruct my subordinates to look for Shuangshuang.”
Mrs. i nodded.
i Yangyang was filled with an inexplicable feeling when she left her parents’ place. She then ordered her subordinates to embark on a search for i Shuangshuang and bring the latter to her parents’ house once they have found her.
They took several days to find i Shuangshuang, who was, fortunately, still in A City. Otherwise, it would have been a tall order to successfully find her if she had gone overseas.
When i Shuangshuang was brought ho, she had a nonchalant expression on her face and sneered, “Young Madam, why did you get your n to bring here? Forget it if you’re thinking of asking for money. I’ve already spent all of it.”
“Mother’s days are numbered and she’d like to see you. Co with ,” i Yangyang said calmly.
Rather taken aback by her words, the disgruntled i Shuangshuang followed her to see Mrs. i.
Upon arriving at the door, i Yangyang did not enter together with i Shuangshuang. Mrs. i’s initial anger and resentnt vanished at the sight of i Shuangshuang, whom she had not seen in a long ti. All that was left of her emotions was heartache. “Why have you gotten so thin?” Mrs. i asked worriedly.
“I haven’t been eating well.” Staring at her bedridden mother, i Shuangshuang llowed her tone and said, “Mother, I’m sorry. I’ve already sold the house.”
“So be it, then. Shuangshuang, you’re already 25 years old. It’s ti you settled down with a good man. Stop wasting your life away and living each day aimlessly,” said Mrs. i.
“Where am I supposed to find a good man? I’m willing to live properly and settle down as long as Sister agrees to introduce to so good catches.”
Mrs. i imdiately yelled, “Yangyang, co in.”
i Yangyang entered and listened to what her mother had to say without interrupting.
“See if you know any suitable prospective marriage partners for Shuangshuang and set her up with them. She’ll change her ways and turn over a new leaf once she has a family of her own,” said Mrs. i.
“A leopard never changes its spots. She’ll only bring harm to the person she marries, whoever it may be,” i Yangyang answered bluntly.
“Mother, did you see that? She doesn’t wish for to have a good life at all. Is this how my own sister should be treating ? Others would do their best to help their sisters, but look at her,” i Shuangshuang sneered.
“Reflect on yourself and take a look at what you’ve done before you criticize for not treating you like my own sister! Don’t bother making such irrelevant comnts,” i Yangyang snapped, seething with anger.
Mr. i remained silent while standing by the side. He had long given up on his younger daughter, who disappointed him ti and ti again.
“Yangyang... Shuangshuang is still your biological sister, no matter what. When I’m no longer around, who’s going to take care of her if you don’t? Are you really going to watch her continue going about her wayward behavior? I believe Shuangshuang isn’t evil-natured and had rely been misled and influenced by those delinquents she hangs out with. Yangyang, just help Mother and find her a good man. Perhaps she’ll really mature and beco more sensible once she’s married and has children of her own,” Mrs. i pleaded.
Glaring daggers at i Shuangshuang, i Yangyang said, “She’s already squandered away all the money from the sale of the house. Which man can tolerate and afford to provide for a spendthrift like you? I really don’t wish to see a good man being ruined by you. What is your ideal type of man?”
With a sullen expression on her face, i Shuangshuang answered, “He doesn’t have to be as rich as Brother-in-law, but he can’t be a broke pauper either. He must have a house and a car, and also dote on . That’s all I expect.”
i Yangyang did not wish to disappoint her mother and thus had no choice but to concede, “Got it. I’ll keep a lookout.”
A smile ford on Mrs. i’s face upon hearing her words. “Yangyang, Shuangshuang definitely doesn’t have a place to live now. Let her move in with us,” Mrs. i continued.
A fresh swell of rage rose within i Yangyang. Just why can’t Mother spare a thought for and put herself in my shoes?
“She may live with you two.” i Yangyang turned around to leave.
“Mother, if you didn’t say those things to persuade Sis, she definitely would leave in a lurch.”
Unable to tolerate her atrocity any longer, Mr. i broke his silence and hollered, “Why don’t you think about what you’ve done wrong in the past!?! You’re already grown up and yet you’ve got no brains at all!”
Glaring at her father with anger surging through her, she retorted, “Father, have you had enough? I’ll scram right now if you don’t wish to see .”
Mrs. i waved her hand at Mr. i in a bid to get him to stop berating their daughter.
Mr. i turned around to leave as well.
Mrs. i and i Shuangshuang were left alone in the room.
Mrs. i sighed and said, “Shuangshuang, it’s not that your sister is bent on leaving you in a lurch and washing her hands off your matters. It’s just that you’ve really gone overboard in the past and hurt your sister’s feelings deeply. I don’t have much longer to live. Shuangshuang, heed my advice and stop getting yourself into trouble. Your sister is getting on so well now, she’ll definitely lend you a hand. Talk to your sister nicely. How could she possibly leave you alone once her heart has softened?”
i Shuangshuang remained silent.
Mrs. i then continued to give her more instructions, all of which she listened to quietly. Perhaps she did not wish to anger her mother by retorting, knowing that her days were numbered.
Noticing that Mrs. i had fallen asleep, i Shuangshuang gently tucked her mother beneath the blanket before leaving the room.
She hurriedly zood towards i Yangyang’s mansion, where the latter and Long Tianze were sitting on the couch while watching a movie. Upon sight of her arrival, i Yangyang turned to the side and asked, “What’s the matter?”
“Sis, I’d like to talk to you about sothing,” said i Shuangshuang.
“About what?”
Suppressing her annoyance and dissatisfaction, i Shuangshuang walked toward i Yangyang and sat down opposite her before saying, “Sis, I’ve made a lot of mistakes in the past. Please forgive , I’ll repent and change my ways from now on...”
