Xiao Ye was taken to a nearby hospital by medical staff.

Although Cheng Rao's English is good, everyone in the hospital in Rome speaks Italian, so it is inevitably difficult to communicate.

Cheng Rao delayed for more than 20 minutes, completed the payment procedures, and then rushed to the emergency room to wait.

When she came, the lights in the emergency room had gone out.

Cheng Rao looked at the extinguished light, and her right eyelid jumped suddenly......

Impossible, impossible.

She raised her hands and grabbed a handful of her hair hard, leaning limply against the wall.

Like a puppet waiting for the verdict of fate.

After about three or four minutes, the door to the emergency room was opened.

The medical staff pushed the mobile bed out, and the people on the bed had their faces covered with white cloths.

Cheng Rao stood still.

The medical staff next to her knew Cheng Rao, and after a nurse saw Cheng Rao, she walked up to her, stopped and said, "This lady, we are sorry, your husband has passed away, please mourn." ”

She spoke very standard English, and Cheng Rao could hear it clearly.

"Impossible."

Cheng Rao shook her head, she walked in the direction of Xiao Ye, knelt in front of the hospital bed with a plop, and lifted the white fabric on his body with trembling hands.

"Xiao Ye......" she raised her hand to touch his face, "Please, you can talk to me." ”

There was no reaction from the person in the bed.

The surrounding medical staff saw Cheng Rao like this, and they could fully understand her mood at the moment.

In the hospital, they see a lot of these things.

"We'll send people back to the ward first, this lady, please calm down first."

The nurse who was talking to Cheng Rao just now helped Cheng Rao up from the ground.

"Why is he like this?" Cheng Rao pinched the nurse's arm and couldn't wait to ask her: "He's okay in the morning, and we ...... last night Why is this happening all of a sudden? ”

"Ma'am, you need to calm down." The nurse said, "The doctor will explain the specific situation to you later, please stay calm first, okay?" We went back to the ward. ”

………

Cheng Rao was helped back to the ward by two nurses.

When he came back, Xiao Ye's body was also pushed over.

After a minute or two, a male doctor walked in with a booklet.

Cheng Rao's hair was messy and her eyes were empty.

When she saw the doctor, she stood up and walked up to him.

"Why is this happening to my husband? He's been fine before......"

"He's had lung cancer surgery before, right?" should be used to seeing this kind of scene, the doctor was not affected by Cheng Rao's emotions, but calmly asked her questions.

"Yes, he had recovered by the time of the re-examination, so did you make a mistake?" Cheng Rao glanced at Xiao Ye on the hospital bed, "He'll be fine......"

"It's no accident that the disease recurs and worsens, and the cancer spreads and causes multiple organ failures." The doctor said, "He should have felt it himself, haven't you communicated?" ”

"No......" Cheng Rao shook her head and suddenly raised her voice: "He's obviously been good all the time!" ”

She is rarely so hysterical.

The tears simply can't stop.

After shouting this, he trembled, and there was a darkness in front of him, and the person fell to the floor.

Several nurses next to her immediately helped her up and gave her cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

**

When Huang Ping received a call from the hospital in Rome, she had just gotten up and had not had time to wash.

A completely unfamiliar transnational call, she had no desire to answer.

But considering that Cheng Rao and Xiao Ye were in Rome recently, Huang Ping still took it.

After the phone was connected, the other party spoke Chinese.

"Hello, is it Cheng Rao's family?" After hearing this question, Huang Ping's heart tightened, "I'm her mother, what's wrong?" ”

"I am a doctor at the San Camillo Hospital in Rome, Cheng Rao's husband passed away in our hospital today, she couldn't stand the blow and fell unconscious, we contacted the hotel and got your contact information......"

The other party told everything that happened in great detail.

After Huang Ping listened, she almost couldn't stand.

Her breathing stopped for two seconds, "...... What did you say? ”

The other party repeated: "Cheng Rao's husband died, and the cancer spread. ”

"It's better for you as a family member to come over, they said that Cheng Rao's emotions are more excited, and there may be some things that can't be handled." The person on the other side said politely.

Huang Ping can be regarded as a person who has experienced life and death, when Cheng Lu had an accident, she thought that her psychology was strong enough to face life and death calmly.

However, when she suddenly received this news, she really couldn't slow down.

Huang Ping took several deep breaths, adjusted her state, and then said to the person opposite: "Please take care of my daughter, I will buy the nearest flight." ”

"Okay." The other party agreed simply, "We will do our best to take care of Cheng Rao." ”

After hanging up the phone, Huang Ping washed up casually, and then began to change clothes and pack luggage.

Qiao Ruzhang made breakfast downstairs, and when she went upstairs to call her to eat, she happened to see her packing her luggage.

Huang Ping's face was ugly, and after Qiao Ruzhang saw it, he immediately stepped forward and squeezed her hand: "What happened?" Hold your horses. ”

"Xiao Ye has passed away." When she said this, Huang Ping's voice was choked, "There is a call from the hospital, Cheng Rao has fainted, I have to hurry over now." ”

Qiao Ruzhang's psychological quality is not bad, but after hearing Huang Ping say this, he was also stunned for a moment.

He knew how much Cheng Rao cared about Xiao Ye, and now something happened to Xiao Ye......

Cheng Rao's character may not be able to do something.

"Do you want to inform his parents?" After pondering for a while, Qiao Ruzhang asked Huang Ping.

Huang Ping thought for a while and said, "His parents shouldn't have visas. ”

Qiao Ruzhang thought about it, and Huang Ping made sense.

He said: "Then you let Xiao Zhang notify him, after all, it's his parents, it's better to notify this kind of thing." ”

Huang Ping let out an "um", and at the same time, closed the suitcase.

Qiao Ruzhang naturally would not let Huang Ping go to Rome alone.

As he spoke, he had already taken out his mobile phone and booked his ticket.

Then, he stepped forward and patted Huang Ping on the shoulder, "I'll go with you." ”

Hearing this, Huang Ping's eyes moistened, and she almost burst into tears.

**

Qiao Ruzhang bought the nearest flight and departed at one o'clock in the afternoon.

Huang Ping couldn't eat breakfast at all, and was full of thoughts about Cheng Rao.

called Cheng Rao a lot, but no one answered.

After thinking about it, she probably didn't have her phone with her.

Huang Ping didn't dare to imagine what kind of state Cheng Rao was in now.

After Xiao Ye's "sacrifice", she lived for more than a year.

The most surprising thing in this world is to lose and regain, and the most desperate thing is to gain and then lose.

Cheng Rao herself is mentally fragile, and it has only been a few months, from the world to heaven, and then to hell......

What will become of her after these blows?

Huang Ping really didn't dare to think about it.

Now, she can only hurry over, no matter what, she, the mother, must be by her side at such an important time.

………

After more than a dozen hours of flight, Huang Ping and Qiao Ruzhang finally arrived in Rome.

Qiao Ruzhang had friends here, so he temporarily contacted his friends and arranged for a driver to come and pick them up.

After coming out of the airport, neither of them had time to find a hotel and went directly to the hospital.

When Huang Ping and Qiao Ruzhang came over, Cheng Rao hadn't woken up yet.

People at the hospital said she had been in a coma for a whole day.

Xiao Ye's body had been sent to the morgue, and Cheng Rao was the only one lying in the ward.

As soon as Huang Ping saw Cheng Rao, she cried.

Qiao Ruzhang knew that it was useless to say anything comforting in this situation, so he could only put his hand on Huang Ping's shoulder and gently pat her shoulder, using this small movement to soothe her emotions.

**

Less than an hour after Huang Ping came over, Cheng Rao finally woke up.

At this time, it was already late at night. After opening her eyes, Cheng Rao was the first to see Huang Ping.

Huang Ping saw Cheng Rao wake up, and immediately stepped forward to care: "Awake?" Is there anything wrong with it? ”

Cheng Rao shook her head, she turned her head to look at the bed next to her, "What about him?" ”

"......" Huang Ping didn't know how to answer.

"Where did he go? Why take him away? Cheng Rao jumped off the bed barefoot, "I'm going to find him......"

"Cheng Rao." Huang Ping grabbed her arm, "I know you're very uncomfortable, and I don't feel good in my heart, don't do this?" Let's talk about his ......."

"Why should I be upset?" Cheng Rao shook off Huang Ping's hand, "If he doesn't die, he won't die, he said he would always accompany me." ”

Huang Ping looked at her like this, so sad that she couldn't say a word.

Cheng Rao looked down at the ring on her right ring finger, "I still have to give birth to him." He's got a job, he can go back to work, and we'll have a home. ”

"I'm going to find him, and he won't leave me." Cheng Rao took a deep breath and walked out barefoot.

Huang Ping didn't have anything to do with her.

She gritted her teeth and walked quickly to the door of the ward, blocking the door.

Huang Ping glanced at Cheng Rao and said to her directly: "The body has been sent to the morgue, you calm down." ”

"He, no, yes, die." Cheng Rao was stunned.

"Rao, you need to calm down now." Seeing this, Qiao Ruzhang also walked up.

He pulled Huang Ping behind him to protect him and communicated with Cheng Rao in person: "We all know that you are very uncomfortable, but since everything has happened, we have to learn to accept reality, Xiao Ye must not want you to be like this, right?" ”

Qiao Ruzhang patiently persuaded Cheng Rao.

After hearing Xiao Ye's name, Cheng Rao sat directly on the floor, she raised her hand, lowered her head and kissed the ring finger of her right hand, and muttered to herself.

"Won't go...... He's not going to go. We just got married. ”

Huang Ping and Qiao Ruzhang glanced at each other, and their faces were ugly.

Huang Ping had already begun to cry.

She raised her hand and kept wiping away her tears.

Qiao Ruzhang took her body into his arms and wanted to comfort her through this action, but to little avail.

She loves Cheng Rao so much, now that Cheng Rao is uncomfortable, how can she feel better?

………

When the medical staff came into the ward, they happened to see Cheng Rao sitting on the floor.

The people from the hospital came to discuss Xiao Ye's cremation time with them, and in Xiao Ye's case, it is unlikely that he will bring the body back to China for disposal, so he can only be here......

When Cheng Rao saw the hospital staff come in, she immediately got up from the ground and walked in front of her.

"Where did you hide my husband? Why don't you let us meet? ”

She was emotionally excited, her tone was impulsive, and her movements were impolite.

When Huang Ping saw Cheng Rao like this, she immediately stepped forward, dragged her over, and then apologized to the staff in English.

Although the staff was a little unhappy, they could also understand Cheng Rao's mood.

After the death of her husband, it was inevitable that she would suffer.

"We've contacted the funeral home, so let's discuss the time."

The staff knew that communicating with Cheng Rao would not do anything, so they began to communicate with Huang Ping.

Huang Ping glanced at Cheng Rao, and then asked the staff: "Can you let them see each other again?" ”

The staff shook their heads, then said, "Not now, before going to the funeral home." ”

Huang Ping nodded in understanding.

"Our hospital usually disposes of the body within three days, and I hope you can cooperate."

Huang Ping continued to nod, "Yes, I will definitely cooperate." ”

Cheng Rao stood next to her and didn't say a word.

She didn't seem to listen to them at all, all her attention was on the ring on her right ring finger.

"Well, then we'll contact the funeral home to determine the time of cremation."

Huang Ping: "Thank you for your hard work." ”

After the staff left, Huang Ping walked in front of Cheng Rao again, she raised her arm and hugged Cheng Rao into her arms, just like when she was a child.

Over the years, the mother and daughter have hardly had such an intimate relationship.

Cheng Rao's eyes were empty, and after being hugged by Huang Ping, there was no special reaction.

Her eyes were like a pool of stagnant water.

"Mom knows you're sad, but cheer up, okay?" Huang Ping's voice trembled, "You still have so much to ......

Cheng Rao didn't say a word.

She rested her head on Huang Ping's shoulder, closed her eyes, and a tear fell silently.

"Let's go back to the hotel first, get a good night's sleep, and don't think about it yet."

Although Huang Ping knew that this was difficult, she still had to persuade her like this.

Cheng Rao is now completely unresponsive, like a shell that has lost her soul.

**

Huang Ping and Qiao Ruzhang took Cheng Rao back to the hotel where she and Xiao Ye had stayed.

After entering the room, the two of them still had their things on the bed.

The trunk was open, and the clothes of the two of them were neatly stacked inside.

Seeing this scene, Huang Ping and Qiao Ruzhang were both a little out of breath.

Xiao Ye walked too suddenly...... It was so sudden.

Huang Ping didn't worry about Cheng Rao staying here alone, so she stayed and slept with Cheng Rao.

Qiao Ruzhang contacted the hotel and checked into the room opposite them.

After coming out of the hospital, Cheng Rao didn't say a word.

After entering the room, she lay down directly on the bed and hugged the pillow beside her.

The pillow was pillow by Xiao Ye, and there was still the smell of his body on it.

Huang Ping didn't know what to say when she saw Cheng Rao like this.

She herself has experienced life and death with her husband, and knows that at this time, no amount of words of comfort is pale.

As a mother, all she can do is be by her side.

Cheng Rao hadn't changed her clothes or washed for more than a day.

She lay on the bed with a pillow for a while, then took a Xiao Ye's T-shirt from the box and walked into the bathroom.

After taking a cold shower, Cheng Rao lay back on the bed and fell asleep not long after.

Seeing Cheng Rao fall asleep, Huang Ping finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She raised her hand to straighten Cheng Rao's hair, looking at her pale face, she was distressed.

After sighing lightly, Huang Ping also went to take a shower, and then lay down beside her.

Mother and daughter hadn't slept in the same bed in years.

She can't remember exactly when it was last time.

At that time...... She must still be in elementary school, right?

Recalling these things, Huang Ping really felt that her mother was not competent enough.

When Cheng Xun died, Cheng Rao's personality was completely different from before, full of thorns, she didn't like to talk, she was very aggressive, indifferent, and she didn't have any friends around her.

And she didn't notice any of this at the moment.

If she had given her a little more attention, she probably wouldn't be where she is today.

The more she thought about it, the more she blamed herself.

Huang Ping has been ill for a while, and her physical fitness is not as good as before.

Coupled with a bumpy day of travel and jet lag, she was also sleepy.

After lying down and thinking for more than twenty minutes, he fell into a deep sleep.

**

At night, Huang Ping was woken up by a rustling sound.

Although she was very sleepy, she slept lightly and woke up at the slightest movement.

Huang Ping opened her eyes and looked at the other side.

There was no light in the room, so when she looked at it, she saw Cheng Rao's face, which was a little crazy against the light of the mobile phone screen.

Huang Ping raised her hand and turned on the lamp at the head of the bed, and sat up from the bed at the same time.

Huang Ping walked in front of Cheng Rao and squatted down.

She was about to speak when she caught a glimpse of a picture on her phone screen.

- It was a photo of her and Xiao Ye when they signed in the church, and it should have been taken with the help of the people around her.

Huang Ping's throat seemed to be blocked by something, and she wanted to speak, but she couldn't say a word.

Cheng Rao didn't seem to notice Huang Ping's existence at all, just staring at the photos on the phone screen.

When the phone screen dimmed slightly, she touched her finger again to make it light up.

This action is repeated over and over again.

Huang Ping felt terrible in her heart, if she could, she wished she could bear the pain for her.

Huang Ping stood up, turned around, covered her eyes with one hand, and her palm was wet.

………

Cheng Rao stared at the photo all night.

Huang Ping didn't try to persuade her, she didn't know how to persuade her, and she couldn't open her mouth.

All I can do is to be by her side silently.

The next day, the hospital contacted Huang Ping and said that the funeral home had set a time for the cremation, which would be four o'clock tomorrow afternoon.

After Huang Ping heard the news, she subconsciously looked at Cheng Rao who was sitting on the floor.

She sighed softly, and then said, "Okay, understood, thank you." ”

After hanging up the phone, Huang Ping walked up to Cheng Rao, bent over, raised her arm and helped Cheng Rao up from the ground.

Cheng Rao didn't struggle, and when she got up, the mobile phone in her hand fell to the floor.

She held this position for hours, her knuckles stiffening.

Suddenly adjusted the posture, the phone did not hold it steady, and it fell off directly.

After hearing this voice, Cheng Rao immediately bent down and picked up the phone.

Still, she hasn't said a word.

Huang Ping sighed again when she saw her like this.

After sighing, she said to Cheng Rao: "The funeral home has contacted the hospital, Xiao Ye's body will be cremated tomorrow afternoon, you can prepare." ”

Cheng Rao didn't speak, her eyes stayed on the phone screen, as if everything around her didn't exist.

Huang Ping felt uncomfortable when she saw her like this, but there was nothing she could do about her.

**

Cheng Rao hasn't cried since she returned to the hotel last night, and she hasn't spoken.

Her face was pale and she walked with a shaky feeling.

There was no expression on his face, and his eyes, which were originally smart, now looked like a dry well.

………

The next afternoon, it was the day when Xiao Ye sent him to the funeral home for cremation.

At noon, Huang Ping and Qiao Ruzhang took Cheng Rao to the hospital.

At two o'clock, the staff pushed Xiao Ye's body out of the morgue and took him to the car.

It stands to reason that the body should have been transported separately.

However, Cheng Rao sat up with the corpse.

When the driver in the front seat saw this scene, he reminded her: "This lady, you should take another car." ”

Cheng Rao raised her eyes, glanced at him lightly, and didn't speak.

Driver: "......"

Cheng Rao squatted in front of the stretcher and lifted the white cloth covering Xiao Ye's body.

After three days, she finally saw him again.

His face turned a little blue.

Cheng Rao raised her hand and touched his face.

The palm of his hand was cold.

Cheng Rao moved her lips slightly, her throat was dry, and there was a labor pain.

She looked down and pressed her lips to his forehead, imprinting a kiss.

Then, came the bridge of his nose.

Finally, stopped at the lips.

His body was already cold, but she didn't care.

The driver in the front seat sighed silently when he saw this scene.

Ay...... Such a scene will not be comfortable for anyone to watch.

Cheng Rao knelt in the car like this, hugged Xiao Ye with her arms, rested her head on his chest, and leaned all the way.

The chest that used to be warm is now out of temperature.

She could no longer hear his powerful heartbeat, and she could no longer feel the vibration in her chest as he spoke.

Cheng Rao hugged him quietly like this, her lips pursed slightly.

**

Forty minutes later, the car stopped in front of the funeral home.

After the brakes sounded, Cheng Rao let go of Xiao Ye.

She bowed her head and kissed him on the lips again.

She thought that if she had kissed him like this before, he would have grabbed the back of her head and pressed her underneath.

But now......

"Madam, we're here, it's time to get off."

Cheng Rao was thinking so, and someone outside had already reminded her.

Cheng Rao glanced back, then withdrew her gaze.

She leaned into his ear, her lips twitching, and she silently spat out three words.

"You wait for me."

These were the first words she said after she came out of the hospital the day before yesterday.

After finishing speaking, Cheng Rao covered his face, looked down at the ring on his hand, and then got out of the car.
