Chapter 762: Zhang Chongguang: I Will Always Take Care of Hu
nce to the balcony.He scoffed, thinking to himself, was she acting this way because she had thought of Huo ShaotingPerhaps out of resentment, the hurtful words spilled from his lips."Congratulations o...After Zhang Chongguang finished speaking, he himself was dazed.
He felt like a weak man, because of a little bit of pitiful pride, he couldn't even go to see Ho Zhen Dong for the last time. If he could, he really wanted to slap himself a few times.
Huoxi was also taken aback.
She truly didn't expect Zhang Chongguang to be so careful to avoid suspicion. They were divorced, but his grandfather had been very fond of Zhang Chongguang when they were children.
Remember when Zhang Chongguang was sick when we were kids Dad and Mom weren't in City B, so Grandpa stayed with him all day and night.
Hoxie was a little disappointed.
But she didn't say anything, and walked away with Xiao Xing.
Little Huo Xing was reluctant, clinging to his mother's shoulder and babbling. His dark eyes stared at Zhang Chongguang with a pleading look... they were glistening, as if tears were about to spill any moment.
"Daddy... Daddy..."
Zhang Chongguang's heart ached, his fingers clenched so tightly that the knuckles turned white.
For a moment, Ho-chi disappeared from his sight.
Footsteps echoed in the hallway, quickening and hastening with each step...
Zhang Chongguang's body suddenly collapsed in his wheelchair. He gasped for breath, a feeling of suffocation sweeping over him instantly. Footsteps echoed again from the stairwell, this time belonging to Qin, the secretary.
Qin's secretary had already heard about it downstairs.
Now, I'm getting a little anxious.
She was about to speak when Zhang Chongguang said in a flat tone, "Make a call for me and ask her to come over. I need her to act a play with me."
Qin, the secretary, was truly embarrassed. In fact, she didn't really want to make this call.
Míngmíng, these past few years Zhang Zong has been living a very difficult life. If we told Hòxī, perhaps they… could still have a chance!
And if this play goes on, it's very possible that there will be no more possibilities.
Qin's secretary hesitated for a long time before persuading: "Zhang, why don't you consider it again"
"Don't worry about it!"
Zhang Chongguang sat in his wheelchair, his tone flat and cold: "You must think that Huo Xi knows the truth, and I still have a chance. But is that a chance That's not...that's just pity and sympathy. I don't need pity, and I can't imagine Huo Xi spending all day tending to a cripple."
Qin the secretary couldn't help but say: "You aren't!"
Zhang Chongguang lowered his gaze, fixated on his left leg. His Adam's apple bobbed slightly… How could it not be Even if one day he could walk like a normal person, the scars on his leg would forever remain a reminder of his past.
He clenched his fist: "Do as I say!"
Qin's secretary had no choice but to make a phone call.
……
When Huo Xi arrived at the hospital, Huo Zhendong had just finished surgery and was sent to the intensive care unit.
Ho Shaoting and Wen Man stood outside.
All the younger generations at home had also rushed over, standing silently in the hallway... Seeing Xi come over, Wen Man walked up to him and whispered, "Your aunt Mingzhu is on her way, Lu You has already gone to the airport to pick her up."
Although Wen Man is a daughter-in-law, she has deep feelings for Huo Zhendong.
I can't help but feel sad at this moment.
She hugged Xiao Hoxing, pressing her cheek against the infant's, as if such warmth could ease her pain.
Although Huo Shaoting was sad, he was stronger than Wen Man.
He put his arm around Wen Man's shoulder and said softly, "Ever since Mom left two days ago, Dad hasn't been himself! ... If things really get too tough this time, I think Dad wouldn't regret it."
Upon hearing this, Wen Man became even more saddened.
Why wouldn't Ho Chin-tung regret it
Before the surgery, Shaoting went to sign. Huo Zhendong was briefly conscious at that time, accompanied by Wen Man.
Ho Zhen-dong was near unconsciousness. He had his eyes closed, but he still couldn't forget one name.
Zhang Chongguang.
Because Ho Zhen Dong knew that the other children would return, but Chongguang wouldn't.
He has never forgotten.
He kept calling out Zhang Chongguang's name, then he opened his eyes to see Wen Man and took her hand, mumbling, "Bring Chongguang back! If you don't look for him, he might never come back. Where else could he go besides home"
After Ho Zhen Dong finished speaking, he fell into unconsciousness again.
At this moment, Wen Man was heartbroken to the extreme.
Huo Yunsi leaned against the wall, gritting his teeth. An Ran knew he wasn't doing well and had stayed by his side all along.
For a moment, Huo Yunsi took out his phone and dialed a number.
It is Zhang Chongguang's.
To his surprise, before he could even ask Zhang Chongguang, the latter spoke up directly, "I'll be at the hospital right away."
Huoyuns thought the same.
He put down his phone after a while and told Huo Shaoting and Wen Man, “He’ll be here in a bit.”
……
When Zhang Chongguang arrived, Huo Zhending's body showed signs of abnormality. The doctor again pushed him back into the resuscitation room.
But the effect is not ideal.
Half an hour later, the attending physician came out from inside. He took off his mask and apologized to Huo Shaoting: "Mr. Huo, I'm sorry! We did our best! ... There is still some time, if possible, say goodbye."
Huo Shaoting's fingers trembled slightly.
Wen Man leaned against his shoulder, already sobbing uncontrollably.
After a long silence, Huo Shaoting said in a suppressed voice, "Don't cry. All of you go inside and bid farewell to your grandfather and great-grandfather properly."
But his own voice was trembling.
A tear rolled down his cheek.
Decades of father-son relationship, broken so abruptly, how could it not be heartbreaking
He and Wen Man were the first ones in. The doctors and nurses from the emergency room had all left, only the tubes and medical equipment for resuscitation remained, emitting a faint electrical humming sound.
Ho Chin-tung was already at death's door.
It was as if, when someone was about to depart, their mind would suddenly become clear. Huo Zhendong stared at his son with wide eyes and muttered, "Where are Mingzhu and Lu Qian Why aren't they here"
Ho Shao-ting bent down and whispered in his ear, "They're coming over. The plane has already landed."
"Here you are!"
Ho Zhen Dong kept repeating this phrase, he still yearned to see his beloved daughter. Ming Zhu wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed, but thankfully, she had lived a fairly good life these past years. Lu Qian, that boy, had finally not disappointed her.
Ho Zhen Dong closed his eyes slightly.
Ho Shaoting lowered his head, his eyes brimming with tears. He wanted to say more, but he knew Huo Zhendong didn't have much time left... He painfully called his children in and bid farewell to Huo Zhendong.
"Don't cry! Don't cry, everyone!"
"Shaoting... I'm going to see your mother soon. I miss her a lot these past two years, but she never comes to me in my dreams. I'm afraid if I go too late, she won't be well off there. What should I do So I might as well go and keep her company sooner."
"None of you are allowed to be sad, I'm doing well!"
……
Everyone had tears in their eyes, but none of them cried.
Then Mingzhu and Lu Qian arrived.
Lu You, the youngest of the family, couldn't help but burst into tears hugging Huo Zhendong. Huo Zhendong reached out with difficulty to touch her hair, this child was so much like Mingzhu!
It's a pity he couldn't see her get married.
"Dad!"
Huo Mingzhu's throat felt constricted, she knew that life and death were natural, but she still couldn't accept it.
After Huo Zhenting's passing, she and her brother were left without any parents.
He Shao-ting walked over and gently put his arm around her shoulder: "Mingzhu, be strong."
Mingzhu couldn't help but hug him and cried out, "Brother!"
Ho Zhen Dong had already reached his last limit. His eyes were fixed on Ho Xi, he wanted to say something but couldn't utter a single word... Ho Xi knew he was asking about Zhang Chongguang.
She hurriedly knelt down and leaned in, tears welling up: "He'll be here in a moment."
Ho Zhen Dong closed his eyes tightly.
Just when everyone thought he wouldn't make it, the door to the hospital corridor opened and Qin's secretary wheeled a wheelchair quickly over, meeting Huo Zhendong for one last time before he breathed his last.
"Grandpa," Zhang Chongguang grasped the icy hand.
Ho Zhen-dong had no strength to speak, he strained his eyes open, looking at Zhang Chongguang's... left leg.
His lips moved, struggling to make a sound.
He wanted to say, that car accident... he always felt like he should have said something before he died.
But now he can't say it.
Zhang Chongguang also knew this.
He leaned in close to the old man's ear and whispered, "I will take care of Hoxi and the children for my whole life."
Two tears slid down Huo Zhendong's cheeks.
But the wrinkles on his face, slowly smoothed out...
He seemed to be waiting, for Zhang Chongguang, for this sentence of his.
The reunion of the two children!nvied it too.He envied Huo Shaoting for having four children and being in his prime, able to give Wen Man a lot of happiness. But he had a busy life and in the end, when he liked a girl, he couldn't g...
