Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Mo Shenbai was stunned for a moment. When he recovered his senses, he did not ask any questions before he nodded and agreed. He got out of bed and changed his clothes before he called Xu Jialu to inform him.

Since Yun Youwei’s condition was bad, the hospital had arranged for a nurse to stay close to her 24 hours a day. After all, Xu Jialu could not stay at night because he had to bring Xie Yumu home with him.

During the journey to the hospital, the rain was heavy, and the wind was strong. The heavy rain looked like it was going to turn the city upside down.

Xu Youyou’s slender hand was holding Mo Shenbai’s hand. She would occasionally turn to look at his handsome profile that was lit by the dim light from outside. A hint of sadness could be seen in her eyes.

Mo Shenbai gently squeezed her hand, silently comforting her. No one in this world could escape from the cycle of birth, old age, illness, and death. He had long seen through it so he did not have the sentimentality of an ordinary person.

When Xu Youyou and Mo Shenbai arrived at the hospital, the doctor and nurses who saw them told them to go in quickly.

Since Yun Youwei did not want to be resuscitated, the doctor and nurses no longer only injected her with some drugs to temporarily buy her a little more time to say goodbye to her family and friends.

Yun Youwei lay on the bed. The illness and pain had tortured her until she was like a dry twig. Her hair had fallen a lot, and her complexion was pale and sallow. There was no longer any gentleness in her almond-shaped eyes, only endless exhaustion.

Xu Youyou hurried to the bedside and held Yun Youwei’s hand. She said softly, “Hold on a little longer. My brother and Mu Mu are on their way here.”

Yun Youwei blinked her eyes slowly as though she was responding to Xu Youyou’s words.

Mo Shenbai stood next to Xu Youyou, silently sending Yun Youwei off on her final journey as well.

Xu Jialu rushed in with Xie Yumu in his arms. He was gasping for breath when he arrived, and his clothes were slightly drenched from the rain.

Xie Yumu, who was in Xu Jialu’s arms, was in a daze. He was still wearing his pajamas. He looked at Yun Youwei, who was lying on the hospital bed, with red eyes, and he was clearly trying his best to hold back his tears. He called out, “Mom…”

Yun Youwei used a lot of effort to raise her hand and place it on Xie Yumu’s head. She seemed to be at the end of the line as she said weakly, “Mumu, you… have to… grow up well…”

As soon as Yun Youwei finished speaking, her hand slid off Xie Yumu’s head limply, and her eyes closed as well.

Xie Yumu was stunned. When he reacted, he hugged Yun Youwei’s arm and called out anxiously, “Mom! Mommy, Mommy!”

Alas, Yun Youwei could no longer respond to Xie Yu Mu. Even the arm that was hugged by Xie Yumu gradually lost its warmth.

Xie Yumu could no longer hold back his tears. They burst forth from his eyes, streaming down his face. He looked like a small injured beast as he cried out over and over again, “Mom! Mom, don’t leave Mumu! I… I won’t be naughty anymore! Mom, wake up! Mom!”

Xu Youyou could not bear to watch such a scene. She turned her head and wiped her tears away.

Xu Jialu sighed heavily. Similar to his sister, he turned away, unable to watch this scene. In the beginning, he had disliked Yun Youwei for trying to morally kidnap Mo Shenbai and for selfishly trying to plan for Xie Yumu’s future with no regard for anyone else. However, now that she was gone like an extinguished candle, there was nothing left to say or feel. In the end, she was just a pitiful woman.

Xie Yumu was still crying when there was movement outside of the ward.

Xie Tingxi had received the news and rushed over as well. He was dressed in his gray pajamas, and he was not wearing his glasses. His gaze was frosty as he said to the bodyguards at the door, “Get lost!”

The bodyguards at the door dutifully stopped Xie Tingxi.

“Let him in,” Mo Shenbai said.

With that, the bodyguards moved to the side.

Xie Tingxi rushed into the ward. He saw the woman lying on the bed with her eyes closed, looking as though she was asleep. He walked to the bed step by step. To him, she was just an excuse for him to sever his ties with the Xie family previously. With that, he would be able to do what he wanted without having the Xie family keeping an eye on his every move. When he found out that she had given birth to a son for him, he did not feel much. He thought that he would just compensate her in the future. It was beyond his expectations that she was terminally ill. He also did not expect that she would refuse to see him until she died.

Xie Tingxi thought that Yun Youwei was strange. She clearly loved him and even gave birth to his son despite knowing the difficulties that lay ahead. However, when he returned, she was unwilling to forgive him.

Xie Tingxi looked at Yun Youwei’s face, which had been tormented by her illness until she was no longer beautiful. He lowered his head and smiled with a hint of bitterness. ‘This woman is pitiful and stupid…’

After a moment, Xie Tingxi asked, “Did she leave any final words?”

No emotions could be detected on Xie Tingxi’s face and voice at this moment.

“No,” Mo Shenbai replied.

Xie Tingxi had expected this. He stepped forward and leaned down to kiss her cold forehead. In the past, when they were together, she liked it the most when he kissed her like that. At that time, she had said to him, “Every time you kiss me like this, I feel like I’m your most precious treasure.”

In the past, when Xie Tingxi had heard those words, he would only smile. He did not shatter the beautiful dream that he had created for her. Now that she was gone, he would weave a beautiful dream for her one last time.

When Xie Yumu saw Xie Tingxi kissing Yun Youwei’s forehead, he suddenly reached out and pushed Xie Tingxi away. He cried out, “You’re not allowed to touch my mother! You’re a bad person! You’re the one who caused my mother’s death! You’re a bad person!”

From Xie Yumu’s perspective, his mother had always been fine. It was after Xie Tingxi’s appearance that his mother fell ill and left him. At this moment, all his grief turned into anger, and the anger was directed at Xie Tingxi.

Xie Tingxi’s pajamas were dirtied by Xie Yumu’s kicks. He furrowed his eyebrows slightly, and his Adam’s apple bobbed a few times. In the end, he did not stop Xie Yumu’s punches and kicks. After all, Xie Yumu had lost his mother whom he had relied on all his life. His reaction was understandable and normal. Moreover, Xie Yumu was his son.

Finally, Xu Jialu walked over and hugged Xie Yumu. “Shh, your mother is asleep. Don’t wake her up. Let her sleep.”

Xie Yumu froze for a moment. Then, he turned to hug Xu Jialu and cried until he ran out of breath. His face was red, and he cried until he fell unconscious.

…

In the end, Xie Tingxi was the one who organized Yun Youwei’s funeral. He had been with Yun Youwei for quite some time in the past so he was familiar with her wishes. He was very attentive when making the arrangements. He chose the best cemetery in Mo City with the best location for her; the annual maintenance fee was in the millions.

After Yun Youwei left, Xie Yumu was brought back to Moon Pavilion by Mo Shenbai.

Compared to the lively and mischievous person from before, Xie Yumu was now withdrawn and taciturn. Even when Xu Youyou cooked for him, he could only eat a few mouthfuls. In just a few days, he had visibly lost weight.

Even Xu Jialu, who always scolded Xie Yumu, did not have the heart to do so now.

Yun Youwei had already drawn up her will. All the assets under her name were left to Xie Yumu. Due to Xie Yumu’s young age, Mo Shenbai was appointed as the guardian. Xie Yumu’s daily expenses and education funds had all been arranged as well. Apart from that, she had also signed a document that gave Mo Shenbai and Xu Youyou custody of Xie Yumu.

After the lawyer finished reading the will, he placed the document that Yun Youwei had signed in front of Mo Shenbai and Xu Youyou. He said, “Chairman Mo, Mrs. Mo, as long as you sign this, you’ll have custody of Xie Yumu.”
