Words I Was Afraid To Hear Chapter 213: Be Happy 1

"Ryuuji!" she screamed.

Several gunshots were fired. Aoi Xiu was firing at Ming Xiaoyu who tried to aim at her husband and grandson.

The snipers had acted and Tang Jinxuan, who aimed at Verdan Zhou and his family, was already coughing up blood.

Ming Rushi was terrified and fled the scene.

Verdan Zhou took his son as Midori was trembling. They both looked down at the bleeding man who laid beside them. His blood was emptying fast.

"Ryuuji...why...you know your condition...you didn't have to take the bullet for us! Bakka!"

Takagi Ryuuji sighed. "Mi-midori...shi-shiawase...ni...naru."* He weakly smiled at her.

"Hey, the ambulance is almost here! Hold on, Ryuuji!" Midori started to cry.

His breathing was heavy. "Anata ni...man-manzoku."** he tried to touch her crying face. "Nakanaide***...shi-shiawse...ni...nru."

And with that, his hand fell and his eyes closed.

"Ryuuji!" Midori's tears gushed out. She screamed as she hugged him. It was the tightest she could give him.

She felt remorse, regret and guilt.

She knew he was sick. He had hemophilia. A single large wound would definitely take his life.

"Okaasan! Okaasan!" On the other area, Manta stopped holding everything in and cried when he saw his mother took the bullet for them.

When Xiu Jin noticed this, Agatha Yang was already lying on the ground, wheezing and grunting.

The sound of an ambulance relieved him. "Manta, help is here..." He tried to console his grandson.

Aoi Xiu looked at both scenes, then she looked down. She tried hard to suppress her emotions.

Her family just went through a calamity. She needed to be the strong matriarch they need.

She dialled on her cellphone.

...

Miles away, at the Igarashi Enterprise, Masaichi Xiu was irritated by the report and he could not understand why. To his rational mind, nothing was wrong with it except for being a bit long, but it should still be acceptable. He wondered why he felt impatient.

Just when the COO was about to close his presentation, the CEO's phone rang.

Masaichi Xiu frowned before answering.

His face turned dark as he listened to the other line. Then he bolted from his seat and dashed out of the room.

No one knew what happened. He acted as if he did not owe anyone an explanation.

He sped through every intersection and dashed out of the airport to board his private plane.

Midori had just hung up from a phone call. Though it hurts so much, she had to tell Takagi Ryuuji's parents herself. They were going to bring him home.

She looked at the small hospital bed.

A tall grown man is barely lying on its edge as he caressed the face of the sleeping baby whose hand had an IV line.

She felt guilt once more.

She gently tapped on his back.

"Dan, you should go home first."

He sat up and shook his head. "I'm okay. I want to stay here."

She pursed her lips and started to cry again.

Verdan Zhou held her in his embrace, rubbing her back as she soaked his shirt with her tears.

"It's over now. Everything will be fine." he consoled.

She continued crying. In sobs, she said, "Why? Why did he have to love me?!"

"Shh...it was his choice. You are a person whom we both chose to love. I understand him."

"I...I became a widow again. I'm bad luck!"

"Shh...no..." He pushed her gently to look at her face. "Can't you see? The other husband is right here. And I feel so lucky to have you. I will be forever grateful to his sacrifice because I can still see you and my son. Didn't he tell you? Be happy." Dan kissed her forehead as he continued to stroke her back.
