Chapter 38 Sister, can i hug you?

When Rong Yuqiu returned home, her mother was already practicing yoga. Tonight, there were only the mother and daughter in the living room. Rong Yuqiu raised her head and watched her mother squatting on the ground doing an extremely difficult exercise. Neither the mother nor the daughter spoke. Rong Yuqiu's eyes fell on the small box on the coffee table, which had already been opened.

Rong Yuqiu knew that her mother had seen what's in the box. She raised her eyes quietly and watched Ji Qianning complete the last action. "What are you standing there for? Do you want me to ask you to sit down?" Ji Qianning wiped the sweat from her forehead and looked up at Rong Yuqiu. Rong Yuqiu looked at her hesitantly, and Ji Qianning dropped the tissue in her hand and looked at the child who's almost as tall as her husband. "Do you want to know why I'm spying on you?"

"Why?" Rong Yuqiu looked at her puzzled and confused. "Because I'm protecting you." Ji Qianning understood when she saw the things in the

box when she returned home. Xiaoqiu discovered these things earlier than she thought. Rong Yuqiu looked into her mother's eyes. She saw heartache, sadness, and hidden grief in those eyes. Rong Yuqiu began to feel uneasy, and the sadness in her mother's eyes almost overflowed.

Rong Yuqiu covered her chest, the color on her face slowly faded, her lips trembled, her voice was low and hoarse, she softly asked the question she had always wanted to know, "Where's Daddy." Ji Qianning looked at her stubborn face and couldn't bear it, so she turned her head away, tears instantly slid down from the corner of her eyes, and the tears dripped onto the ground. Rong Yuqiu dragged her heavy legs to Ji Qianning and looked at her pleadingly, hoping that she could tell her that her father is still safe.

Aunt Li and Ji Xiaoyue, who were hiding upstairs, clenched their fingers nervously and watched the confrontation between the mother and daughter. Ji Xiaoyue was even more heartbroken. Her sister had returned to Rong Corporation alone with great physical and mental trauma, and she reorganized the group in a swift and resolute manner. At that time, Rong Yuqiu was still lying in the intensive care unit and could die at any time. Her brother-in-law had been crushed and deformed in the car accident.

Ji Xiaoyue watched the mother and daughter get on the elevator. She and Aunt Li hid outside the small room on the third floor. If anything happened, they could rush up at the first opportunity. Ji Qianning brought Rong Yuqiu to the study. She turned on the computer and clicked on a monitoring interface. The completely cold white room in the monitoring is filled with instruments, and there were several doctors walking around the ward looking at the data.

Rong Yuqiu leaned over the computer screen and looked at her father lying on the life-support machine. Her once handsome and elegant father now had several tubes on his face, and countless instruments were monitoring his vital signs. "Dad, how long has it been like this?" Rong Yuqiu asked Ji Qianning in a hoarse voice with red eyes. "he's been lying down since the day you had the accident." Ji Qianning looked at her lover lying on the screen, and a smile appeared on her tired and sad face.

"Four years..." Ji Qianning sat on the chair and watched Rong Yuqiu staring at the screen in a daze. She looked at Rong Yuqiu nervously, clenching her hands tightly, worried that she might...

Rong Yuqiu stared at the screen intently, the scene of the car accident kept appearing in her mind. A truck suddenly came straight towards them from the front, and the driver dodged several times but failed to avoid the truck in the tunnel. The dazzling light suddenly shone into Rong Yuqiu's eyes, and the weightlessness of her body made her unable to react for a moment.

The car seemed to slow down and rolled in the air. A man rushed over and stood in front of Rong Yuqiu. The car rolled over twice and hit the isolation belt and was straightened again. Before they had time to rejoice, two sudden brake sounds were heard at the same time. Rong Yuqiu looked at her father who's lying in front of her with blurred eyes. The other party kept asking her to live well. Blood dripped from the top of his head, and Rong Yuqiu closed her eyes with blood all over her face.

The tearing pain almost split Rong Yuqiu's brain in two. She looked at the surveillance camera in pain, and kept recalling the original scene in her mind. "Ah...it's me..."

Rong Yuqiu hit her head in pain. The memories flashing in her mind made her unable to tell where she was. She only felt dizzy, and there were constant voices around her and in her ears.

"My dear, are you really going to propose to me?" The smiling woman looked at her charmingly.

"Dad, I'm getting married."

"Have you proposed?"

"Yes, and the ring has been ordered. I'll go get it now."

"Then I'll give you a ride."

"I'll give you a ride."

"One ride."

Rong Yuqiu's eyes went dark and her body swayed as she sat on the ground. mother rong quickly stepped forward and held her hand. Rong Yuqiu closed her eyes, her body was completely tense, and the sweat on her body quickly soaked her clothes. The veins on Rong Yuqiu's forehead were bulging, and her teeth were biting her lips so hard that they were almost bleeding. She tried hard to hold her body up and not faint, and she also remembered the memories she had lost in previous times.

"Sister." Rong Yuqiu called Ji Qiuxue in a low voice, and also mentioned the disappeared paternity test. Rong Yuqiu grabbed mother rong's hand tightly, and she looked at her mother with bloodshot eyes, "Mom, don't feed me medicine anymore." mother rong couldn't help crying after hearing her words, "Why do you insist on remembering this memory? Once you remember it, you will keep getting sick."

Rong Yuqiu grinned firmly and said, "I don't want to forget even the side of Dad who protected me in the end. The medicine you fed me before would prompt my memory to cover up the previous painful memories, so I even forgot Ji Qiuxue, right?" Rong Yuqiu looked into mother rong's eyes and asked her for an answer. The voice she heard in her mind is Ji Qiuxue's, but she could never see her face clearly.

"The doctor said that your brain has suffered severe trauma and will automatically forget the memories that once caused you physically pain, including the memories that cause you mental pain." mother rong explained and paused for a moment before continuing. "The medicine given to you will only relax your nerves and put you into a deep sleep, and the memories that caused you pain will be overwritten again."

"I don't want to take the medicine." Rong Yuqiu grabbed her mother's hand and refused stubbornly. She's worried that after drinking the medicine this time, she would forget these important things again. "Don't worry, okay? You will continue to feel pain if you don't take the medicine." mother rong hugged her and took out the blue medicine from her pocket. "Doctor Yamor said that as long as you can gradually recover your memory, the effect of this medicine on you will be less." Ji Qianning flicked the ampoule with her fingers, and the head of the ampoule broke when she bent it hard.

Rong Yuqiu refused the medicine she offered her and tried hard to stand up straight. mother rong took the medicine but did not force her. Instead, she watched her child who had calmed down for the first time with her own willpower. Rong Yuqiu had previously suffered brain trauma and had some signs of bipolar disorder. Every time she was stimulated and was about to have an attack, they would first use medication to control it.

She has been keeping it under control for so many years. As long as Rong Yuqiu can get through this psychological barrier, she will be able to get rid of this psychological trauma. This process is very difficult and requires efforts from herself and those around her. When Rong Yuqiu dragged her shaky body towards the study door, her mother stood behind her and said, "Remember, your father is not dead, he is just sleeping."

The pressure in Rong Yuqiu's heart was instantly released. She lowered her head and tears burst out like a dam breaking. Aunt Li and Ji Xiaoyue stood at the door and watched Rong Yuqiu walking past them with her head down. The sadness she exuded overwhelmed them. After Rong Yuqiu left, Ji Xiaoyue walked into the study room anxiously and looked at her sister who's also in tears. She looked at her uneasily, "Sister, is it okay to provoke Xiaoqiu like this today?"

mother rong wiped away her tears and turned into the decisive and ruthless woman again, "We have to take this step sooner or later, it's better to get here earlier. Isn't Ji Qiuxue here too?" Ji Xiaoyue looked at her strong and aggressive sister. She felt hesitant to speak, and finally had nothing to say. Rong Yuqiu did not return to her room. She went downstairs and asked the driver to drive her to the hospital. She's still wearing the same clothes, but Rong Yuqiu looked disheveled.

Ji Qiuxue, who had just woken up, is leaning against the head of the bed drinking white porridge to warm her stomach. At this time, Rong Yuqiu walked in with her head down. Su Zimo looked at her drunkenly. She walked up to her and wanted to ask Rong Yuqiu if there's anything wrong. Rong Yuqiu raised her head and eyelids lazily, looking at her sharply, "Get out." The soft but strong words made Su Zimo's heart tremble. She had to look at Ji Qiuxue. Only after she nodded did she slowly move out.

Rong Yuqiu saw her go out and reached out to close the door. Ji Qiuxue looked at her actions in confusion. Seeing Rong Yuqiu full of sadness and tears, she didn't ask much, but her heart is full of heartache. "What's wrong with Yuqiu?" Ji Qiuxue lowered her voice, and her tone changed unconsciously, returning to the voice that Rong Yuqiu is familiar with.

Rong Yuqiu raised her head and looked at her with complicated eyes. Ji Qiuxue is sitting on the bed and also looking at her. Their eyes met, and Ji Qiuxue felt that Rong Yuqiu seemed a little different. "You..." Before Ji Qiuxue could finish her words, Rong Yuqiu stepped in front of her bed and looked down at her. Ji Qiuxue looked at the figure in front of her that blocked the light, swallowed, and looked at Rong Yuqiu with deep and complex eyes. She felt a little flustered.

"Sister, can I hug you?"

This was the only sentence in Ji Qiuxue's mind. When she came back to her senses in a daze, Rong Yuqiu had already hugged her in her arms. Rong Yuqiu hugged Ji Qiuxue tightly, tears streaming down her face drop by drop, soon wetting Ji Qiuxue's clothes
