Can't Let Go

Chapter 207 How long can you live?

Three days later.

Everyone set for Austral City.

Michael Huo used his private aircraft and hired two famous doctors to follow them.

Even this, George’s health condition was still bad.

Jennifer Huo was crying all the way.

She couldn’t understand why he insisted on going to Austral City while he was not good.

Why not stay there to live longer?

But, if he had decided, no matter how she opposed, he would not listen to her.

Linda Yun had already taken the medicine in advance on the plane.

She kept an eye on George all the time.

Other people were kept in silence.

The atmosphere was depressing.

Few hours later.

Because Uncle Pan was informed in advance.

So several luxury car had pulled there already to wait them.

They arrived at Huo house soon.

After arriving at home, doctors checked George immediately. George fainted for many times on the

way.

The house was in a mess.

“Patient needs a rest.”Doctor fed him some medicine and George fell into sleep gradually.

People looked at each other. They all didn’t want to leave.

“Please leave the patient to us and trust us! You can have a rest first.”The doctor said in a hurry.

“Let’s get out of here.”Michael Huo said.

They came to the sitting room.

They sat together worriedly.

“Children, come here. Let’s see the dishes in the kitchen.”Kui wanted to active the atmosphere.

“Yes...Debra, go with me to see what boys are doing in the study room.”Paul Mu stood up, too.

Debra Huo nodded and looked at Laura Su, “Do you want to have a rest?”

Laura Su shook her head to show she was fine.

“Well. You can stay with them.”

“Okay.”Laura Su nodded.

She followed them to the kitchen.

“I have said do not come back here. George is not good these days...”Jennifer Huo sat on the sofa,

sobbing.

Richard Qu said nothing.

He held Jennifer Huo and comforted her.

“Don’t you know his temper? You can’t stop him. In other words, even if he didn’t come here, that won’t

change anything.”Michael Huo looked at Jennifer Huo and frowned.

“He is very weak! It will speed up his death.”Jennifer Huo kept sobbing.

This word let them more upset.

“He doesn’t want to leave regrets. We must respect his choice!”Michael Huo looked at her, “We love

him no less than you!”

“He is right.Fei,we all love him very much.”Qu added in a hurry.

“I know!”Jennifer Huo looked at them and cried more worse, “I know. I know everything! But I only have

a son...Now...he .....”

She can’t keep saying but crying all the time.

Linda Yun kept in silence.

“Don’t cry. If George sees, he will feel upset too.”Michael Huo was a little unpleasant.

“I am tired. I am going to have a rest.”Linda Yun stood up all of sudden.

She turned around and left.

Richard Qu and Jennifer Huo were stunned.

What does she mean?

Michael Huo followed her immediately.

Back to their room, Linda Yun sat on the sofa.

Michael Huo came to her and put her in his arms.

Linda Yun started to cry.

Michael Huo’s heart was hurt. For many years, he was always reluctant to let her cry.

But now.....

He can’t change anything. He let her experience this pain again.

Any word at this moment can only show his uselessness.

What he can do at this moment is accompanying her.

She gradually calmed down.

“What did the doctor say?”She looked at Michael Huo in a choked voice, “Tell me the truth!”

Michael Huo’s eyes were filled with despair.

“How...long...?”She asked him with her lips trembling.

Michael Huo saw her eyes were filled with tears again. His heart hurt again. He wiped her tears, “Linda.

You must know death sometimes doesn’t mean separate and pain. It may be a kind of freedom!”

“Freedom....”

She heard it again.

Thirty years ago, someone had said it to her.

He said death is not a separation. It’s a freedom.

So, she lost him.

“Linda..”

“Tell me!I can take on this.”She grabbed his hand, “Don’t lie to me.”

Michael Huo sighed, “Anytime.”

Linda Yun burst into tears.

She bit her lips hard.

Michael Huo stopped her.

She shook her head badly. She could accept the fact. “You have said he can live alive till the end of the

year. Why...Anytime? What does ‘anytime’ mean? You tell me! You tell me!”

“Linda!”The man held her at once.

Linda Yun cried badly.

George...

Her child....

Don’t...don’t leave.

Don’t leave her.

By the time Linda Yun went downstairs, it had been several hours later.

They had already eaten supper.

“Mum.”Debra Huo came to her at once.He guessed she had cried for a long time and he sighed, “You

must be hungry. I have asked them to prepare some food for you.”

Linda Yun shook her head and looked at him, “Is your brother awake?”

“Yes. Just woke up. They are all in his room.”

Linda Yun smiled to him. She tried to become happy. “Do I look good?”

Debra Huo’s heart ached. He smiled to her, “Mum is always the most beautiful.”

“Instruct the kitchen to make some noodles for your mother.”Michael Huo said to him.

“Okay.”

At this moment, Linda Yun and Michael Huo came to George’s room together.

A burst of laughter came from inside.

The door was open. They gathered around George and talked about some interesting things. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

His eyes were always mild, He was lying on the bed with a smile.

Linda Yun took a deep breath and went in.

They made way for her.

“Mum.”George called her.

“You are awake. Are you hungry? Have you eaten something?”

“Yes.I have eaten. Debra had made some noodles for me.”

“Well, well.”Linda Yun nodded her head. Actually her hands were pinching her thighs in case of

bursting into tears.

“George, eat some fruit. These are very sweet.”Jennifer Huo sat beside him to feed him.

“Drink some juice.”Richard Qu added in a hurry.

Seeing this, Michael Huo held her, “Let’s go. eave them to have a talk.”

Linda Yun followed him although she was a little reluctant.

“Mum...”Marie Huo took her arm in a hurry, “Don’t be sad. rother will be fine!”

Linda Yun nodded her head with a smile, “I know I know…ou must be tired today. o back to your room

to have some rest. eave this to us.”

“Mum,I will accompany you.”Dennis Huo sat beside her.

“It’s enough. I have your daddy here. Go back to your room to have some rest! Laura, go with

them.”Linda Yun looked at Laura Su.

“Ah, well, all right.”

“Mum...”Marie Huo and Dennis Huo still wanted to say something, but Linda Yun frowned.

“All right, all of you go back to your room.”Debra Huo came and looked at them, then he said coldly.

Marie Huo and Dennis Huo dared not staying there, so they went upstairs fast.

Laura Su followed them to her room.

“Dad, mum, the noodles are prepared. Have some.”

Linda Yun didn’t move. Obviously she didn’t have the appetite.

“Linda,go to have some noodles.”Kui came to her and helped her up, “If you don’t eat,you will not have

strength to take care of Duoduo.”

“Sorry,I’m not hungry...”

“I know that. But you have to eat, even if you are not hungry.”Kui said and she dragged Linda Yun to

the table and looked at Debra Huo, “You can accompany Laura,and I will accompany your mother

here.”

Then they came to the table.

Michael Huo sat on the sofa, smoking.

He didn’t smoke like this during these years.

Paul Mu sighed for this.

Michael Huo said nothing, and he just bowed his head to smoke. He looked very upset.

————

“Linda,you should eat something.”Although the

Chopsticks were handed to her, she still didn’t want to pick it up.

“If something happen to Duoduo but you are fainted at that moment ,you will regret it for the rest of your

life.”Kui said.

Paul Mu has told her the fact.

She knew that Duoduo could leave at any time.

Linda Yun moved and looked at Kui.

Kui nodded her head in a hurry and said,“Eat something and then you will have the strength to

accompany George.”

“Well,eat something.”

————

After eating a little simply ,they waited in the living room for Jennifer.

But after waiting for more than two hours, the first sentence they came out, “Duoduo fell asleep.”

“I... want to see him.”Linda Yun looked at Jennifer Huo and said.

Jennifer Huo nodded to her,“Well.”

Michael Huo stood up. He also wanted to see George.

They entered the room and lights were dimmed.

George closed his eyes and looked particularly abrupt in the big bed.

Because he was too thin.

Linda Yun looked at George. Her heart ached again.

She wanted to cry.

But she gritted her teeth to keep from crying.

She couldn’t disturb him.

They just looked at him silently.

After a while, they left the room.

“Sister in law.”Jennifer Huo called her.

Then she came to her and said, “Duoduo said he wants to go to the graveyard tomorrow.”

“Tomorrow?”Linda Yun was shocked, “How about wait for several days? He has just traveled a long

way, and his body can’t stand more.”

Jennifer Huo said helplessly, “Do you think we can really change his mind?”

Linda Yun said, “I will persuade him.”

“Sister in law.”Jennifer Huo called her again.

Linda Yun frowned and looked at her.

“Let him go. Let’s go tomorrow.”Jennifer Huo cried suddenly, and in the next second, she turned around

and ran away.

Linda Yun looked at this, and she can’t help clenching her hands.

A sense of uneasiness spread rapidly in her heart.

————

The next day, she got up early in the morning.

Then she found that everyone was up, too.

At that time, the door of Duoduo’s room opened.

Jennifer Huo pushed him out,and today he was wearing a formal dress.

Duoduo’s eyes glistened instead of his former melancholy, and he asked,“Mom, did I look good today?”

Linda Yun nodded hurriedly,“Good, very good.”

Michael Huo come over and smiled,“ Handsome. Just like me.”

“That’s good gene for me,”Richard Qu smiled, too.

“All right, come over for breakfast,”Michael Huo said.

Everyone at the table was talking.

The only one who is silent is Laura Su.

She didn’t Know why, but she think there was something wrong with the atmosphere today.

However, she could’t find anything.

All she knew was that everyone was laughing.

But the smile was particularly bitter.

There smiles were not really for happy.

“What’s the matter? Don’t you like today’s breakfast?”Debra Huo grabbed her hand and asked gently.

Laura Su shook her head in a hurry,“No, that’s good.”

“Well, then you can eat more. We are going to the cemetery later.”

“To the cemetery?”Laura Su was a little surprised, but she asked nothing and nodded cleverly.

Soon, they drove three cars to mourn Patricia Bai g and Uncle Meng.

Finally, the changed to another cemetery to mourn George Mo.

He was buried here because he likes the place with mountains and water.

And this is the only place in Nan city where there are lakes and mountains.

People handed in their bouquets solemnly.

Kui burst into cried when she saw George’s photo.

They had grown up together! They liked family.

Jennifer Huo and Richard Qu didn’t speak. They were embarrassed.

They felt very guilty.

They owned him.

Without him there would be no George.

“George,we will wait for you outside.”Jennifer Huo said.

He had said he wanted to stay with Linda Yun and George Mo alone for a while.

“Okay.”George smiled at her.

Jennifer Huo burst into tears again. She grabbed George’s hand with a choked voice, “We will wait for

you!”

“Yes.”

Seeing this, Jennifer Huo turned around and left.

Richard Qu looked at his son. He was really worried about him.

He watched this for a while and touched his head softly, “Dad will wait for you.”

George nodded.

Michael Huo knew the relationship among them.

So he took children outside to leave them alone.

Linda Yun squatted down to wipe the dust on George’s photo.

She smiled, “George....I come back to see you!”

George looked at that photo and moved his wheelchair.He reached out his hand to touch George’s

photo, “Uncle George, I come back..”

His words let Linda Yun burst into tears.

“I was unable to speak before. But I have always wanted to call you uncle.Now I’m able to speak but

you can never hear my voice.”

As he said,he wept and his thin body trembled.“In order to speak,I tried hard for ten years.It took me

ten years to learn to speak,but no one knows,the person I wanted to call the most.That’s you.”

Linda Yun did not speak.She cried silently on the sidelines.

At this time,George made a sign lauguage,“You are always the most important person to me.”

“George...”Linda Yun kept crying.

“I always can’t fall asleep these days,every time I start to fall asleep,my mind is full of pictures of my

childhood.I owed my mother and you.Uncle George,I am going to accompany you soon...and I can call

you on my own at that time.”

“George!”Linda Yun grabbed his hand and shook her head badly, “Don’t say that!Don’t say that..”

George turned to Linda Yun with a little smile at his face,then he took out a handkerchief from his

pocket and slowly wiped her tears.

He smiled faintly. “I have no much time left...mum...I can’t accompany you in the future.”

Linda Yun grabbed his hand and shook her head with a choked voice,“Mother will save you.Mom would

save you.”

He shook his head and held her hand,“It’s useless.It’s the end of my life.”

“George,listen to me ,I will find the best doctor and invited them to home to treat you.George,trust

me,ok?”

She felt something and the fear came to her suddenly.

He didn’t speak and just watched her crying.He wiped her tears.

“George!”

“Mum!I want to be your son again next life.”

His lips became pale and his hands trembled badly.His eyes began to diffuse.

Linda Yun shook his head and cried sadly, “No,no!Not next life,I want you this life!”

George smiled and looked at George again.

Then,he said to her with a smile, “Mum,I see Uncle...”

Mary Yunn was nervous, “George,don’t say that.Let’s go....I will take you to the hospital!”

“He is waving at me...mum..”He looked at Linda Yun, “He is coming to pick me up..”

“No...No!George,don’t scare me!I beg you,don’t scare me...”

She saw him losing his mind and energy.He was so weak to open his eyes.But his mouth was

trembling.He seemed to say something,,,

A deep sadness came to Linda Yun.Lots of familiar memory came into her mind.

‘Mum,I love you.’

‘Mum,I am a man!I will eat by myself!’

‘Mum,don’t cry...’

‘Mum....’

His thin and weak hand fell.

“George——!!!”
