Chapter 149
“What else could it be because of?” Wang Boyce smiled bitterly, “Her heart, can’t you really feel it?”
“You mean …” Cheng Lydia choked for a moment before then speaking next, “June she wanted to make Ron and I whole? So she purposely waited until after our wedding to wake up?”
Is that really what Yang June really thinks? She actually did it for her …
“Yesterday, on the day of your wedding with Shen Ron Xingxing, June’s mother took a needle and stabbed her finger in a hurry, and after a few dozen stabs, June just couldn’t help but wake up.” Wang Boyce looked at Cheng Lydia’s shocked look and continued, “Although June repeatedly asked me not to tell you this, I couldn’t help but tell you because …”
Wang Boyce gritted her teeth in exasperation, “It was so hard for her to struggle back from the valley of death, and Shen Ron himself told her that he was going to be with another woman, directly erasing her confidence in living in the world again. She cried all night, yet had to feign strength and smile when Shen Ron came over the next morning, and I just couldn’t bear to watch it anymore.”
Cheng Lydia was so surprised she could barely breathe, and she took a deep breath as she held one hand on the wall.
“Why are you telling me this? I really shouldn’t have been told …” She smiled bitterly.
Doing so would only deepen her guilt over Yang June and make her life even more torturous.
She lifted her head slyly and stared at Wang Boyce, “Are you telling me this to talk me out of Shen Ron?”
“Yes.” Wang Boyce was actually unapologetic about his purpose.
Cheng Lydia is surprised again. Didn’t Wang Boyce like Yang June? Didn’t he go abroad for four years for her? Why did he push her to Shen Ron when she woke up?
It’s amazing how great it can be to love someone?
“Although she’s bent on giving Shen Ron to you, she actually needs Shen Ron’s care more than you do and loves him more than you do.” Wang Boyce added this and then turned to leave.
Cheng Lydia doesn’t know if Yang June loves Shen Ron more than she does, and can’t gauge just how much she does. But one thing was clear: June had loved her earlier and longer than she had. After all, she only has five years of memory, and all those years before five years, all those days when she was in love with Shen Ron, she has forgotten.
When Cheng Lydia arrived at the door of Yang June’s bedroom with a bouquet of brightly colored roses, Mrs. Yang’s irritated voice could be heard from inside: “Relationships are not a game, how can you just let them go? Why should you care about her feelings? Why should you give up Shen Ron to her?”
“Mom …” Yang June spoke with a sobbing voice.
Mrs. Yang added, “Since you like Shen Ron so much, hold on to him well, Cheng Lydia has the guts and the career, there are men who like it. You’re different, the men who are good to you are the ones who are holding out on The Yang Family, if you don’t have Shen Ron to hold on to you, The Yang Family will be taken away by those men or Wang Boyce sooner or later.”
“I really don’t want to ruin it for my sister and Ron, it’s bad enough that she’s lost her memory, we can’t … do it again.”
“She’s pathetic?” Mrs. Yang interrupted her, “You’re more pathetic than she is, you know? You’ve been in a coma for over four years and Shen Ron has been watching over you without fail, but ever since she showed up, Shen Ron has changed and become too lazy to even come over and look at you.”
Mrs. Yang paused and sighed, “Listen to your mother and hold on to that happiness that was meant to be yours alone.”
Cheng Lydia heard footsteps approaching the door and turned on her heel, retreating into a nearby ward until Mrs. Yang had left and then rejoined Yang June’s bed.
She knocked on the door and then walked in.
For the first time, Yang June was awake and standing when she walked into this room.
She stood at the window sill, her face facing out, her form so thin it hurt.
Yang June thought it was her mother who had retraced her steps and did not turn back, until the fragrance of roses roamed through her nose and she turned in surprise.
The sisters looked at each other with four eyes, and for a moment both were speechless.
They sized each other up, but they could not hide the delight in each other’s eyes, as if they were sizing up a good friend they had not seen in a long time.
“Sister …” Yang June called out softly, a smile inside her eyebrows.
Cheng Lydia found that she looked much better when she was awake, only her face was still a little pale and her body was slim from being in a coma for so long.
Cheng Lydia gave her a small smile and said, “I don’t know what it used to be like when we both met because I don’t even remember, I don’t even remember what I used to call you, what I liked to talk about with you, what I liked to do with you.”
Yang June smiled knowingly, “It’s okay, as long as I can be with my sister like I used to be, no matter what she does or says, June is happy.”
Yang June pointed to the rose in her hand, “Is this for me, sister?”
“Of course.” Cheng Lydia handed her the Rosebud in her hand, “But I heard from your Boyce brother that you don’t really like Rosebud.”
Yang June turned and carefully placed the rose inside the vase and said, “It’s not that I don’t like it, I’ve just never paid particular attention to the flower before, but it’s slowly growing on me now.”
“Oh? Why now but slowly like it?” Cheng Lydia sat down on the couch next to her, surprised to find that Yang June was indeed in good health and seemed to be in a good mood.
If she hadn’t just heard her crying, she would have thought Yang June was really just that happy.
“Because …” Yang June thought for a moment and replied, “Because my sister gave it to me.”
After Yang June poured a glass of water for Cheng Lydia, she sat down next to Cheng Lydia and said with a smile, “Sister, I heard from Brother Boyce that you are working in this hospital, right? Sister, you are really great, finally achieving your ambition.”
“June …” Cheng Lydia hugged her gently and breathed in lightly with bitterness, “Don’t pretend, sis knows you’re sad.”
Yang June was slightly surprised, and then silent.
Cheng Lydia gently reassured, “It’s not that Ron doesn’t want to visit you, he just thinks you’ll never wake up again so he wants to forget about you completely. In fact everyone thought you’d be gone from this world in two years of life at most, so …”
“Don’t worry, Ron he really loves you and has come to not really forget about you. That day when he heard that you woke up, he was so excited that he ran to the hospital despite everything, he really cares about you.”
“Sister …” Yang June backed out of her arms and stared at her choking, “I was pretending to be happy in front of you because I wanted to escape my guilt over it, I knew it was your and Ron’s wedding day, but Ron ran away from it, and I … ”This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Yang June’s tears flowed down her face, tears of guilt.
“It’s more important than anything that you wake up, don’t cry.” Cheng Lydia lifted her hand to wipe the tears from her face and smiled lightly, “I don’t blame you, if I did, I wouldn’t have come to see you.”
“You already know the truth, don’t you, sister? How can you not hate me or resent me? If it wasn’t for me in the first place, you and Ron would have been happily ever after together.”
