The Devil’s love

Chapter 314 - Worried

When Muchan came back, Ning quickly got up. "How is she now? Is she okay? She lost so much blood, I—"

Placing the glass down, he gently placed his hand on her shoulder. "Ning you need to calm down. The doctors are taking care of her, everything is going to be okay." Muchan was yet to talk to the doctor in charge of Ziyi but he didn't want to leave her alone so he decided to wait for Yichan or anybody else who would arrive first. ??

Just then Weilong arrived and rushed towards them. When he saw Ning, he panic strickenly asked, "Ning, what are you doing here?" Looking at her bloodstained hand and clothes, he widened his eyes in shock. "This—did you get hurt?"

Vigorously shaking her head, she answered, "No, mom—she—" Covering her face with her hands, she started sobbing louder. "It's all my fault."

Pulling her into his embrace, Weilong assured her. "It's not your fault, stop blaming yourself."

"No, nothing would have happened if I hadn't called her there."

"I'll go and check with the doctors." When Muchan looked at Weilong and gestured him to take care of Ning who was clearly in a very panicked state, the latter nodded his head. After making sure that she was in safe hands, he entered the emergency room.

Pulling away, Ning looked at her father with teary eyes. "What if something happens to mom? I—" she would never be able to forgive herself if something was to happen to Ziyi. The guilt of calling her to the cafe for the meeting was already killing her, nothing would have happened if she hadn't decided to call her over.

Cupping her face, Weilong stated, "Nothing will happen to her and please stop blaming yourself, it isn't your fault. Your mom wouldn't like it if she finds out that you are blaming yourself like this." Making her sit on the bench, he asked, "Do you want some water?"

Just then one of the guards gave Weilong the glass of water Muchan had brought for her.

"Here, drink some water, you will feel better."

After taking a few sips, she kept looking at the emergency room while wiping her tears which kept flowing down her cheeks. Didn't she declare that she wanted nothing to do with her parents? Then why was she feeling that way? Why did she even care about them?

Things are easier said than done. No matter how hard she tries not to make her parents a part of her life, she forgot that she was already a part of them from the very beginning. Though she kept denying and even tried to push them away, she forgot that no matter how hard she tried, she would never be able to completely disregard them.

Weilong on the other hand was equally panicked and worried as Ning but he didn't want to show it because he knew it would directly affect Ning. He had no idea about this unexpected meeting between the mother and daughter, Ziyi never told him anything. She just left the house in the morning saying she was going grocery shopping.

When he heard about the sudden accident, he freaked out and quickly rushed to the hospital only to find Ning there.

Sitting beside his daughter, he contemplated whether he should give her a comforting hug or not. After Ning told him she didn't want to acknowledge him as her father, he respected her decision and stopped bothering her. He didn't want to force a relationship on her which she clearly didn't want but now seeing her like this broke his heart. He had always thought of hidd daughter had a strong independent woman, this was the first time he was seeing her all broken and vulnerable. As he was still hesitating, he felt a warm hand around his arm.

When Ning placed her head on his shoulder, his body turned stiff. All his life he had been desperately waiting for his daughter to hug her and after what had happened, he had lost all his hope and was ready to live his life full of regrets. But now when his daughter had taken a step towards him, he didn't want to hold back the comfort and affection every father wants to give his daughter.

Without wasting any time, he wrapped his arms around her shoulder and pulled her closer. He then kissed her forehead and started comforting her. "Mom is going to be okay, she is a fighter, just like you sweetheart."

After some time, Yichan arrived along with grandpa Yang. They stopped midway when they saw Ning and Weilong together.

Yichan wanted to rush over but grandpa Yang grabbed his hand and stopped him from rushing over immediately. The sight of Weilong and Ning comforting each other melted his heart. Though he was also very angry with son and always detested his decisions, he was also a father and Weilong was his once favoured son.

There were times when grandpa Yang wanted to forgive him but he always held himself back. Maybe he could forget how Weilong had wronged him but he could never forget how Weilong and Ziyi had wrong Ning. The awful things Ning had experienced when she was a child would have never happened if things would have been handled in some other way when his son and daughter-in-law.

But no matter what had happened in the past, grandpa Yang wanted Ning to experience how parental love felt like. Though he always made sure she got everything that she wanted and never felt alone, he knew that nothing could match the parental love all kids craved for. Even though Ning was all grown up, he still wanted her to get a chance of experiencing it.

Yichan on the other hand was having a really hard time resisting himself from rushing towards his wife who was still crying. When he heard about the accident from the guards and then Muchan, he was stuck in a meeting somewhere in the outskirts of the city.
