Shao Hui did not know what was happening at the Mo house, he carried the tragically burned chicken which was given a new life by his father-in-law inside the small hospital where his father was admitted.
He ignored the gazes of the mer nurses who were working in the hospital along with the doctors, he was infamous in this hospital because of the debts that were piling up on his shoulders day by day even though his mother-in-law helped him a little here and there in paying the bills of the hospital whose amount was touching the sky, there was only a little she could do.
With his gaze in front, he then took the glass elevator which was in the shape of a capsule to the fifth floor where his father's ward was, as soon as the Elevator came to a stop, he stepped inside the corridor and smelled the scent of disinfectant since the cleaning mer was on duty and was mopping the floor.
Upon seeing Shao Hui, the mer who was in charge of cleaning paused and looked up. His face broke into a smile and he greeted Shao Hui, " Brother Hui, you are here? Uncle Shi will be overjoyed. He was missing you just yesterday and you are here today, sure enough, your heart and Uncle Shi's heart are connected."
Even though the mer in charge of cleaning was speaking of the incident joyfully, he heard from his colleague that Uncle Shi who was admitted to ward number five hundred five was actually discussing getting euthanasia while telling the doctors that he did not want to stay alive and become a burden on his son.
It was then he mentioned Shao Hui saying that he will see his son one last time and ask for his permission to die because he really could not continue a life like this.
" Is that so?" Shao Hui smiled when he heard the cleaning mer's words not realising that the cleaning mer was looking at him with pity while lowering his gaze. " I am glad to hear that Father was missing me, anyway, Wu Ya is there anything that I need to know about? Were there any changes in Father's vitals when I was gone?"
Though he knew that the toxins in his father's body were too deeply embedded that unless they were taken out by experts of the imperial star nothing was going to change, Shao Hui still hoped for a miracle.
But when he saw Wu Ya shake his head, he knew that there was no such thing as a miracle in his life.
The light in Shao Hui's eyes dimmed but then he hitched his smile up and then patted Wu Ya on the shoulder before saying, "It's all right, I am working on it. I am sure that I will one day save enough money to save my father."
As long as he was alive, he will keep trying!
Wu Ya did not tell Shao Hui that even though he was willing to fight for a chance for Father Shao to restart his life, the latter might have already made a decision for himself.
