Chapter 1710 - Preparations
Her mother's sleeplessness and abnormal heart rate, she thought, were all related to this.
So, in the end, was it because of her that his mother had passed away? It was she who had given her mother a hope that had led her to despair.
It caused her body to be injured. She had to use medicine to maintain her sleep. After taking it for a long time, her heart couldn't take it anymore, causing her sudden death.
"Mom …" "Sorry, sorry …" Duan Shumin wanted to rush in, but Duan Siye accompanied her and entered emergency room to see her mother.
Duan Siye looked at his mother with tears in his eyes. He bit his lips, and at this moment, his heart tightened in extreme pain.Duan Deliang also came in. In this matter, the death of his wife seemed to be something that could be found, but also seemed to be an irresistible fate.
But he was gone, and all cause and effect had been dispersed.
After finding out the news of Song Meilan's death, the Old Man Duan ignored the inconvenience of her health and drove him to the hospital in Duan Shu Xian's car.
At that moment, Song Meilan had already entered the morgue, and Old Man Duan came over for one last look.Duan Shumin kneeled on the ground, facing Song Meilan's direction. Her head was lowered, yet there were only a puddle of tears on the ground.
While Duan Siye was supporting his father, one person was missing from the originally good dinner.
Everyone stayed in the hospital until the early morning. Duan Shumin's grief and remorse caused her to faint, causing her to be sent to the ward where Li Yu and Duan Shu Xian took care of her.
And no matter how sad Duan Deliang was, he couldn't let his wife stay in that place forever.
Duan Deliang was already an old man and in one night, half of his hair had already turned white. But this matter still needed the young Duan Siye to manage, and even if he was in pain, it was the last thing he could do for his mother.
In the sickroom, Li Yu had to go out again to take care of Old Man Duan. He was already old, and after an entire night of living, his entire body was haggard and in pain, but nothing could happen to him.
In the ward, looking after the unconscious Duan Shumin, only Duan Shu Xian was left. At this moment, her heart was filled with self-blame and guilt.She recalled the incident that happened at the Duan Clan the other day and wondered if that incident had aggravated her aunt's illness.
Duan Shumin slowly woke up. She opened her eyes, which were swollen from crying, loose hair, and a pale face.
She looked at Duan Shu Xian, who was standing beside her, and once again, tears welled up in her eyes.Duan Shu Xian pulled out a piece of paper from the side and handed it to her. "Brother Si Ye-ge has already prepared something for Aunt."
Duan Shu Xian was infected. Her tears also silently fell.
Duan Shumin covered her eyes, and after a long while, she suddenly muttered, "I was the one who killed my mother, I was the one who killed her."
Duan Shu Xian's teary eyes looked at her in astonishment. She didn't know why she said that.
"If my desire wasn't so strong, if I wasn't in front of my mother and kept mentioning the future I wanted, she wouldn't have been nervous, wouldn't have been awake all night, wouldn't have been longing to help me achieve it." At this moment, Duan Shumin had no one to talk to, and Duan Shu Xian was the only person she could talk to.
"Sister Min, don't blame yourself too." Duan Shu Xian choked with sobs as she consoled him.Duan Shumin shook her head, "I am not blaming myself, but the truth is that I killed my mother. I know that it is impossible for me to marry Xi Jingchen, but I have instead given my mother a belief that I can definitely marry him, so my mother will be proud of me.
Duan Shu Xian was startled, of course she didn't know that in private, her aunt had taken her older cousin's matter seriously, and was even running towards Xi Jingchen.
"It's my overconfidence that has harmed my mother. If I had known this earlier, I would have cut off my mother's hopes and stopped her from worrying about this matter."
Now, Duan Shumin was truly regretting it. She did not expect that such an anxious mood would cause her mother to lose her life.
She also hated herself for leaving her mother's room just now. If she had accompanied her mother the moment she fell sick, she would have been able to save her mother. She had learned how to save her mother, and at least she would have had a chance.Duan Shu Xian sighed, then raised her red and swollen eyes and said, "Sorry, it's also my fault. I shouldn't have provoked Aunt that day."
Duan Shumin closed her eyes, "What's wrong with you? It is a fact that you love each other, and it is also a fact that you are together. There is nothing that is difficult to say. "Duan Shu Xian looked at her, her heart startled. Sister Min seemed to have calmed down a lot.
She wanted to send her mother off on her final journey. The only thing she owed her was to continue being her daughter in her next life. At that time, she wished that she could be her current self.
She wouldn't harm her most beloved mother because of her own ambition.Duan Shu Xian accompanied her out, just in time for Song Meilan to arrive at the cremation site. Duan Shu Xian drove her car, and followed the car forward.
The Duan Clan members were still unable to accept the sudden departure of a living person.Duan Siye carried Song Meilan's ashes out two hours later. His tall and straight figure seemed to have withdrawn all his strength, as his steps were especially heavy with a sorrowful expression.
Duan Shumin walked up and said to her big brother, "Let me hug you!"
Duan Shu Ye passed it to her while Duan Shumin hugged it to her. Once again, she sobbed silently.
They had to first store it for three days, take care of the other matters, and then come to welcome Song Meilan's ashes and rest in peace.
While Li Yu was taking care of him at home, Old Man Duan really couldn't understand why his eldest daughter-in-law would want to do such a thing.
Duan Deliang's sudden loss of his wife almost made him lose confidence in his own life, causing his heart to be empty.At this moment, everyone was immersed in their grief. She sat on a chair in the garden and imagined Song Meilan's figure walking around in the garden. Suddenly, her sadness increased by a few degrees.
Duan Shoumin stood at the top floor. Duan Siye was worried about her, so he accompanied her."Big brother, I won't jump. I want my mother to watch me live in peace." Duan Shumin wrapped his arms around himself and felt the coldness.
Duan Siye stood by her side. Normally, he did not show joy or anger, but at this moment, his Jun Yan was shrouded in a thick aura of grief.No one could accept the sudden loss of a close family member. Even though this was a normal occurrence of life and death, no one could accept it when it happened to someone else.
Duan Shumin took a deep breath, "I will never be able to forgive myself in this life."
"Don't blame yourself, it's not your fault."
"It's my fault." Duan Shumin took over and blamed himself.
Duan Siye was busy managing Song Meilan's affairs. When his friends and relatives suddenly found out about the news, they all sighed at the fickleness of the world. They never would have thought that the person they met a few days ago would suddenly leave.After that, three days later.
Duan Shu Xian sat in the garden, immersed in her memories. Suddenly, she heard her phone ringing. She picked it up, and her heart stopped.
It was Xi Jingchen.
She bit her lips as she softly answered, "Hello!"
Her voice was barely audible.
"Shu Xian, what's wrong?" Xi Jingchen's voice immediately asked with concern, because she could hear her crying.
"I …" Duan Shu Xian took a deep breath and said, "My aunt suddenly left."
Xi Jingchen immediately understood, "Is it your cousin's mother?"
"En!" Duan Shu Xian took a deep breath.
"When did this happen?""The night before yesterday, I suddenly left."
"So sudden." Xi Jingchen's voice was also extremely low.
"Are you back?"
"I'll be back tomorrow."
"Alright, be careful on your way." For a moment, Duan Shu Xian didn't know what to talk to him about.
Her mind was empty now, as if she had lost part of her thoughts."I'll be back tomorrow. I want to accompany you to her funeral." Xi Jingchen said.
