At the door of a high-end hospital room, many people were gathered at this moment.
There were members of the Song Family, some executives from TK Group, and also Shi Nuan's father Shi Yuanbo and her stepmother Li Guirong.
Shi Nuan looked pale, walking unsteadily, but she refused the support of the man beside her, stepping towards the direction of the room, step by step.
Everyone at the entrance of the room was watching her, and they all knew that this girl named Shi Nuan was the daughter of Shi Company's president Shi Yuanbo, and the fiancée of Song Yichuan.
Song Qingyang saw Shi Nuan, stepped forward, and hugged her. The tears she held back before started to fall again. She said, "Xiao Chuan is inside. Go see him… for the last time!"
Shi Nuan's pupils contracted slightly, her thin lips moved, and then she responded very faintly, "Okay!"
...
At this moment, inside the room, there were only Song Yichuan's parents, Song Zhongming and Liang Yue'e, and Song Yansheng's mother, Yu Yao.
Seeing Shi Nuan come in, no one spoke. Song Qingyang said, "Second Grandmother, Dad, Mom, let's go out first, let Xiao Chuan and Nuannuan… say a few words!"
Liang Yue'e was already crying so much that her body was limp, unable to walk, supported out by her husband Song Zhongming. Song Qingyang also helped Yu Yao out.
In the hospital room, soon, only Shi Nuan and Song Yichuan were left.
Song Yichuan lay there with his eyes closed, using a respirator, his body extremely frail.
On the way here earlier, Song Yan said: "Xiao Chuan can't hold on much longer. In his last moments, what he can't let go of is you. Remember, let him leave at peace..."
At that moment, Shi Nuan's body couldn't help but tremble. She bit her teeth tightly, holding back her tears.
She also told herself, when she saw Song Yichuan, she must not cry, not to make Xiao Chuan worry.
But now, looking at Song Yichuan so thin and weak lying on the bed, Shi Nuan still couldn't hold back her tears.
She gently held his hand with the tubes, slowly gripping it, calling his name, "Xiao Chuan…"
Song Yichuan looked at her, his eyes seeming just as clear and pure as they once were, untouched by dust.
When Shen Zui left, Song Yichuan gave her the warmest and most comforting protection. Without him, she didn't know if she could have endured.
Without him, she would have died in that car accident at the age of eighteen...
If not for him, how could there be the Shi Nuan of today...
Gone, all gone...
"Xiao Chuan…"
She called him again, her chest heaving slightly, tears streaming uncontrollably…
She said, "Don't leave me…"
Xiao Chuan, don't leave me…
In this world, there aren't many people I can rely on and trust anymore...
Xiao Chuan, please don't leave me...
Song Yichuan's eyelashes trembled, and from them oozed a turbid liquid, slowly sliding down along the corner of his eye…
Actually, he didn't want to leave her either...
Really, not at all...
His lips moved slightly, as if trying to speak, but the breath was so weak that no sound could be heard...
But Shi Nuan could feel what he was saying.
He was calling her, "Nuannuan…"
Shi Nuan tightened her grip on his fingers, saying, "I'm here, Xiao Chuan, I'm here… I've always been…"
Song Yichuan's lips moved again and said another sentence.
He said, "I'm sorry, I have to go…"
Shi Nuan's tears burst forth again.
She tightly grasped his hand, wanting to say, "Don't..."
But, could he stay just because she said don't?
Can he stay?
Song Yan said, "Let Xiao Chuan leave at peace…"
Shi Nuan bit her lip, wiped the tears off her face, and gave Song Yichuan a smile.
She nodded gently, uttering a soft "Mm."
Song Yichuan's breath flattened instantly, and at the corner of his lips, a hint of a smile seemed to form.
A very faint smile.
...
That day, at 11:51 AM, Shi Nuan's fiancé, Song Yichuan, suddenly succumbed to heart disease. After ineffective rescue, he passed away at the tender age of twenty-four.
