(Girls' Literature)

β€œbelle。 It's not that you don't know what kind of situation China is like now. Jing is still so small. It's you. I was almost dead when I had a difficult birth. At that time, I didn't tell Bo according to you. But no matter what, I won't let you be in the body before you are well. Take the child back to China. ”

Mrs. Charlton listened to Yisheng beg her husband for help arranging a flight back to China as soon as possible. It was just shocking and urgent. I didn't think about it, so I opened my mouth like a cannon to dissuade me.

Mr. Charlton apparently did not agree with Yisheng's decision either. Shaking his head, "Isabelle." There was no problem arranging for you to go back. But I disagree with Valda. You're not a doctor. Even if I go back, it won't help. ”

"My father is seriously injured now. If it weren't for the fact that the situation is really bad. They won't send me a telegram. Yisheng shook his head slightly. "There is a saying in China called 'pension to the end'. Maybe you don't understand it. But the father is so good to Shaozhi. Now at this time. I'm going back no matter what. ”

"But......" said Mrs. Charlton anxiously. But they couldn't find the right words to persuade them.

Yisheng smiled. He took her hand and whispered, "I know you're worried about me. I was thinking about it too. Just stay here. Wait for Shaozhi to pick us up...... But now I don't want to wait any longer. I'm going to find him. I'm going to be with him. No matter where it is. No matter what the circumstances may be. I just want to be there for him. ”

"The situation in China is so chaotic right now. Bo has to lead his troops to fight again. Even if you go back. You may not be able to be by his side as you used to. Wait until the war is over. You will stay together again in peace and joy until you grow old. Not better. Mrs. Charlton still refused to give up. Persuaded hard.

"That's fine, naturally. Yisheng smiled slightly. The eyes are soft but firm. But the years before peace and joy. I still want to be there for him. Don't want to waste it. Even if we can't see each other every day. Stay a little closer to him. It's also good. ”

"What about the kids. Jing is still so small. You can't bear to take her back with you. Mrs. Charlton grew more and more anxious. She had no children of her own. I watched this little man come out with my own eyes. Such a thrilling scene. A hard-won baby. Madame had come to love her as if she were her own child. And because of this. The thought of Yisheng going to bring her back to such a turbulent place. I was in a hurry.

Yisheng's heart tingled faintly. After a while. She spoke softly. The voice is gentle and firm. "Jing was not yet born. Shao Zhi had already chosen a name for her. He said. Our children. It doesn't matter if it's a boy or a girl. It's all called that. Bo Jing. The national disaster has not yet been applied. The end of the national disaster...... That's why I refused to give her an English name. ”

Mrs. Charlton still didn't quite understand. And Yisheng obviously wants to convince himself even more. She paused. Finally, he said word by word: "She's not going anywhere." She just went home. She is Bo Yuzheng's daughter. She was supposed to go back. ”

Mrs. Charlton burst into tears. But she looked at the reluctance and firmness in Yisheng's eyes. I vaguely understood it in my heart. She couldn't persuade her.

After a while. She nodded. Because of some kind of determination. Wiping away her tears, she said, "Belle." You go pack your things. I want to hug Jing again. ”

Yisheng also understood Mrs. Charlton's affection for her daughter. Nodded tearfully at the moment. Thank you again to Mr. Charlton. So he went back to his room to make all kinds of preparations for returning home.

Mrs. Charlton walked briskly to the nursery. Lock the door back. Take the baby from the babysitter's hands. Gritted teeth. The little blanket wrapped around the child was lifted.

"Ma'am. The child will catch a cold. Girls' literature," the nanny exclaimed.

Mrs. Charlton paid no attention to her. Just said to Xiao Bo Jing, who was crying because of the sudden coldness, "I'm sorry." Little darling. That's the only way. Your mother will change her mind. I can't just watch you go to such a dangerous place......"

That same evening. Xiao Bo Jing launched a high fever. And the child's sudden illness. It simply caught Yisheng off guard.

She looked at her daughter's burning red face. The heart is like a knife. And the doctor was serious. "The child must be admitted to the hospital immediately. lest the disease develop into pneumonia. ”

When the doctor said this. The plane from which she returned took off. There are only a few hours left.

She endured her anxiety and worry. Go and ask Mr. Charlton. Is it possible to postpone the time.

Mr. Charlton was embarrassed. β€œIsabelle。。 You know. Now China is a theater of war. The round-trip traffic is not comparable to what it used to be. This time, I have arranged for you to go back with the plane carrying the aid. There is no way to wait. ”

Mrs. Charlton was troubled when she saw her. But he was so strong. I couldn't help but reach out and hug her. "Isabelle dear. Now Jing is sick. When she's well, you'll set off. Bo's father either died or was cured. Even if you go, it doesn't make much sense, does it? That being the case. Don't even think about going back. It's okay to stay here. Wait until the war is over. Your family can always be together, too. ”

Yisheng suddenly burst into tears. "But I'm afraid. What if I can't wait? ”

Mrs. Charlton was stunned by her momentary vulnerability. I could only subconsciously mutter: "No......"

And Yisheng was also aware of his gaffe. Slightly lowered his head. Wipe away tears. Speak to Mrs. Charlton. It's also talking to myself. "Yes. No, it won't. No, it won't. What's wrong with me......"

As he spoke. Suddenly, there was a cry of a child in the room. The two women outside the door hurriedly pushed the door and rushed in.

Yisheng saw her daughter's small body being pressed to death by the nanny and nurse. A needle in his forehead. I'm crying. A small face was also red. She couldn't hold back her tears anymore. All at once, it poured out.

The doctor said she had to be held down like this. lest she break free of the needle. Yisheng stood aside and watched. His body trembled slightly. Tears fell fiercely and urgently. The child's cry was like a sharp knife. It struck into her heart like that. She hated to replace her. But it's a bit of a problem. Powerless.

She turned suddenly. The lady hurriedly asked the nanny and nurse to take care of the child. and chased him out.

She watched as the woman rested her head against the wall. Keep your eyes closed. Pale face. Tears. The thin body took a look. Trembling incessantly. She suddenly thought. Did you do something wrong?

"Isabelle......" she called out to her with some hesitation.

And Yisheng slowly opened his eyes. Bitterly tugged at the corners of his lips. The smile is full of sadness and self-reproach. "I can't look at her anymore. I can't listen to her cry anymore. Otherwise. Otherwise, I won't be able to leave......"
