Chapter 355 Weakest of all.
Thank you LaiLai for sending my first super gift! Couldn't be anymore grateful to you!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAunt Wang returned to the banyan tree with her cart, and Yu Dong picked up Shen Li before helping him up on the cart after she was done laying him on the cart, she picked up Ye Liu and laid him next to him. Though their bodies were still cold, she was at ease seeing their chest heave, some of their complexions were returning though their lips were still blue and chapped like that of a corpse. Yu Dong wished that she could forget everything and maybe wake up from this nightmare that she has just lived but the truth was in front of her, Shen Li and Ye Liu's cold bodies and that pallid complexion were enough to tell her that what she just saw was no dream but a horrible reality. She took one glimpse at the two of them and suddenly felt annoyance flicker in her heart, she was angry and heartbroken but she didn't dare to show it to anyone, she simply turned her face away from the two of them and then walked to the spot where Chen Mi was lying.
As she picked her little husband in her arms, she noticed the traces of tears on his eyelashes and when she wrapped her arm around him he shuddered and clung to her shirt sobbing. " P..please don't die, Brother Li… Brother Liu, I will be good don't leave."
Yu Dong felt another pang in her chest as she carried Chen Mi in her arms, that's right compared to her, Chen Mi was a lot closer to Shen Li and Ye Liu. Of course, he would be heartbroken when he found out that the two brothers he lived through thick and thin killed themselves, today if not for her grandmother who knew how to summon back souls, Shen Li and Ye Liu would have been gone from their lives and these tears would have become a part of their lives for who knows how long.
Because Chen Mi was clinging to her, Yu Dong couldn't lay him down and could only carry him to their house alongside Aunt Wang's cart. She glanced at the two mere time to time and felt the tension ease in her heart ease bit by bit, and as the tension in her heart eased, the anger in her heart flared up more and more, she wanted to slap them awake and ask just what were they thinking when they did something like that? Why did they think about her and even if they didn't think about her they could have thought about Chen Mi who was the closest to them how can they just let go of everything and everyone just like that? Did they not care what would have happened to the others without them?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLook at Chen Mi, he was so heartbroken that he fainted and if Fang Chi was there he would have been worried sick as well worse he might have fallen sick. And her, she was supposed to be the closest person to them yet they didn't confide anything with her, though she didn't ask the doctor about their condition, she more or less had an inkling about what the doctor might have told them, or else they wouldn't have taken such a grave step without listening to anyone.
She turned to look at her grandmother who was silently walking next to her, though she looked weak because of summoning back two souls, she was still in a better condition than her. After all, her grandmother was an A-grade spiritual energy user when she died but she was —— a dark glint flashed in her eyes as Yu Dong realised her weaknesses, she thought she was strong enough but now that she failed in saving Lang Hui's legs and her husbands, she realised that she was lying to herself all along, she was not and never was strong to take on things that were bigger and mightier than her. The only reason she could do it better than anyone else was that the people whom she met were weaker than her but when faced with bigger troubles that were beyond her powers she was weak, the weakest of all.
Like she was in the past.
When they reached home, Grandma Yu who has been waiting for Yu Dong and the others to arrive rushed forward and took a look at Shen Li and Ye Liu who was lying on the cart, she took one look at them and then her entire body quivered if not for Yu Tong who was behind her the old woman would have fallen on the ground. "How did..did this happen, Dong Dong, how d..did this happen?" asked Grandma Yu as she stared at the two children who have grown in front of her eyes, lying on the cart as if dead. Though she could not protect them back then she has always helped them from the sidelines, sending them eggs to eat when she got her hands on them, sneaking some meat dishes from the kitchen—— together she, Shen Li, Ye Liu and Chen Mi had done a lot of sneaking around and having small picnics with limited food that she used to steal from the house.
These kids were really close to her heart, especially Shen Li who was her first son-in-law, and yet the latter was now in a condition like this? How did this happen!
Yu Dong didn't answer she had no answer to the questions that Grandma Yu was asking her, she could only lower her head in regret. Maybe if she paid attention to the peculiarity of Shen Li and Ye Liu then maybe this wouldn't have happened, she thought that as long as she said that she was fine with them having no kids, the two would understand that she didn't want them to be worried about their health but maybe somewhere they were depressed about their inability of not having a child and she didn't notice the signs.
