Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse - Chapter 807: Entanglement
Chapter 807: Chapter 807: Entanglement
Su Jin, not wanting to wait in the Space as if “days were as long as years,” had not stayed in the Space that night. Although she almost suffered through an entire sleepless night, fortunately, just as dawn was breaking, Lin Tianhui came to inform her of the situation on the other side.
“It was Nie Qing who came in to inform us, but right now we don’t know what’s going on with Lian Jiyue. They say he’s still in a coma,”
Lin Tianhui said.
Su Jin nodded, the heavy stone in her heart finally dropped, and then she entered the Space with Lin Tianhui.
Lu Hao had also locked the bedroom door and quickly slipped into the Space temporarily. If someone knocked and got no response, they would assume he was just sleeping heavily. He was too eager to go in and see his wife.
Mao Qiqi had already entered the Space, but she had gone back to her room to sleep soundly by the time Lu Hao came in.
“It’s just a pity that Local Tyrant Gold can’t come in, it really helped us a lot this time,”
Lu Hao said with a smile, gripping Su Jin’s soft hand; her fragrant scent drifted faintly to him, making him feel immeasurably relaxed.
“You’re not hurt, are you? I heard that Lian Jiyue’s condition isn’t very good?”
Su Jin asked.
“No, we just used a lot of our Special Ability. Over there, Lian Jiyue still hasn’t mutated. It probably won’t be too bad, but we just don’t know how to heal him,”
Lu Hao said helplessly. At least the treatments from the Healing Element Ability users seemed to have no effect.
“I think… if he doesn’t wake up, there’s one person who might be able to help him,”
Su Jin said.
“Are you talking about Lian Ze?”
Lu Hao also thought of this person during the journey, but he felt that the matters between this family were too complicated. If Lian Ze knew the truth about what happened, he didn’t know how he would react.
“But I think he won’t just stand by and do nothing, otherwise he wouldn’t have chosen to run from the E city base to the S city base,”
Su Jin also thought some dog-blood drama was going on after hearing about the affair between Lian Zongren and Han Wan. However, she was somewhat curious about Luo Yan. After so many years, Lian Zongren was still willing to take a bullet for her; it seemed their past relationship was not shallow.
“So I’m saying, let’s not do anything to break up the couple. Just look at that love triangle, isn’t it just like the rich family feuds on TV? A tragedy,”
Lin Cheng also interjected. Although he hadn’t said much last night, he was stupefied by the scene at that time.
“If you ask me, both Lian Jiyue and Lian Ze are pitiful, caught in the middle. But the most pitiful is their mother,”
Huang Yunxiang sighed as well.
“Alright, you all go get some sleep; we can talk about this later. Look how tired Qiqi is,”
Li Xiuying came out and urged.
Since it wasn’t fully light outside yet, if everyone wanted to sleep, they still had time to catch some more rest.
So everyone declined Lin Yunguo’s offer to eat something and went back to their respective rooms.
After knowing that everyone was alright, Su Jin also suddenly felt sleepy. Considering she still had to help out at the Heart Talk Store during the day, she prepared to take the time to rest a bit more.
“Say hello to Aunt Wen and the others for me,”
Su Jin said before sleeping.
“Mhm, get some sleep,”
Lu Hao didn’t wrap his arms around Su Jin, afraid of pressing on her. Pregnant women are already enduring enough struggle; now was his time to act as a human-shaped pillow…
…
In the N city base, Lian Zongren quickly came to. Upon opening his eyes, realizing that it wasn’t Luo Yan who was by his side, he couldn’t help feeling a touch of disappointment.
“The bullet in your body has been removed, and our healer has cured the wound. You’re completely out of danger now,”
A kind-looking doctor standing by Lian Zongren’s bed said.
“Thank you, thank you all. Can you tell me where I am?”
Lian Zongren was a bit out of the loop regarding the current situation, wondering if Yueer and Luo Yan… and the Heart Talk Team were all still doing well?
“Uncle Lian, you’re finally awake,”
Lin Xiuyuan walked in looking refreshed. This wasn’t a hospital, but where they lived. It must be said that the Heart Talk Team had considerable clout; wherever they went, arrangements for accommodations and treatment were readily made for them.
“Xiuyuan, is everyone okay?”
Seeing that the doctor inside the room had left, Lian Zongren sat up and asked.
“Everyone’s fine, all fine. It’s just that Lian Jiyue hasn’t woken up yet. The brother-in-law said that once we are all ready, we’ll head back to the S City base right away. Maybe Lian Ze will have a way to figure out his condition,”
Lin Xiuyuan recounted everything that happened after Lian Zongren fell unconscious. When it came to Han Wan’s suicide, Lian Zongren was also somewhat in disbelief.
“She’s dead?”
Lian Zongren murmured.
“Dead, by suicide,”
Lu Hao said as he walked in and stood at the doorway.
Lian Zongren fell silent.
He should have hated Han Wan, even once wanted to take her life, but upon hearing about Han Wan’s suicide, he suddenly felt a sense of bewilderment.
Why, why did things between them turn out this way?
“Some things have been wrong from the start, no matter whether it’s in the past or now, people have to be accountable for their actions,”
Lu Hao remarked.
“You’re right, I want to go see Yueer and the others,”
Lian Zongren tried to muster a faint smile.
“Once the people from the other side arrive, we will set out immediately for the S City base. I suggest you take Lian Jiyue to the S City base first as well, maybe Lian Ze can help him,”
Lu Hao also informed Lian Zongren that the doctors and healers at the N City base had checked on Lian Jiyue’s condition, but the equipment here was limited and no one could determine Lian Jiyue’s current status.
“I understand, I will follow your lead,”
Lian Zongren had no objections, and there was also something he had to explain to Lian Ze…
By Lian Jiyue’s side, Luo Yan had stayed close without moving an inch. She was so fatigued that she didn’t even notice when Lian Zongren came in.
Luo Yan had changed out of the men’s cotton-padded jacket she’d been wearing before. Huang Yunxiang had found some clothes for her to change into, but Luo Yan was just too thin. Even the smallest size Huang Yunxiang could find still hung loosely on her.
Lian Zongren felt a pang of sadness and was somewhat at a loss, unsure whether he should wake Luo Yan or not. He really wanted to know what Luo Yan had been through over the years.
Sensing someone’s gaze, Luo Yan lifted her head and saw Lian Zongren.
“Yanyan… I’m sorry,”
Lian Zongren didn’t know what else to say.
“Call me Luo Yan, thank you,”
She had thought it through all night; she didn’t want to have any further connection with the man before her.
“…”
Lian Zongren, observing the ripple-free Luo Yan, truly felt for the first time that he had completely lost her.
“We will take Yueer to the S City base. Perhaps there is someone there who can heal him,”
Lian Zongren said somewhat awkwardly.
“I am aware, I will go, until he awakens,”
Luo Yan nodded and then shifted her gaze back to Lian Jiyue, seemingly unwilling to continue talking with Lian Zongren.
