Reborn in the Seventies: Pampered Wife, Owning some Farmland

Chapter 145: Chapter 145 Maybe for a Lifetime _1
 

The nurse couldn’t stay in the patient’s room all the time. Before leaving, she took a glance at Lu Jianjun and went to attend her duties.

“Yeah, sister-in-law, the battalion commander and your nephew still need your care. If you want to blame someone, blame me. The bullet was originally aimed at me. The commander pushed me away. I am the one who caused him to be here.” Lu Jianjun had been blaming himself these days, so he didn’t seem much better than Yun Hao, who was lying thin as a stick on the bed.

Yun’s mother glanced at Lu Jianjun. Her gaze then rested on her son, lying on the hospital bed. What could she say?

Meng Yunhan merely glanced at Lu Jianjun lightly, and her gaze moved to the large and small figures lying on the bed. Her focus converged on them.

She couldn’t utter comforting words, and she wouldn’t accept an apology.

She suddenly remembered a classic saying from her past life: If apology worked, why would we need the police?

So, she wouldn’t accept this apology.

If apologies could work, she would only wish for Yun Hao to wake up, to wake up.

“Mother, Ahao is in a vegetative state, a vegetative state. We do not know when he will wake up.” Meng Yunhan bit her lip, trying not to cry.

Lu Jianjun didn’t know how his sister-in-law knew, assuming that the nurse had told her.

Cloud’s mother was taken aback, “What is a vegetative state?”

Meng Yunhan started explaining what a vegetative state was, “It means he has a heartbeat, can absorb nutrition, can hear us talk, but it’s like he’s sleeping. We don’t know when he’ll wake up. It might be today, a month, a year or maybe a lifetime, until his brain stops functioning. Medicine isn’t yet so advanced, he might just lay like this forever.”

Her simplistic and direct explanation left Yun’s mother with her mouth hanging open in surprise.

Lu Jianjun realized he had underestimated his sister-in-law. Her explanation of a vegetative state was clear, and she was well aware of its implications.

“Lying for a lifetime…” Yun’s mother couldn’t accept that her son would spend his life like this. What about her daughter-in-law and grandson? She stumbled a couple of steps and leaned against the wall, collapsing to the ground.

Lu Jianjun was consumed with guilt.

“Mother, sister-in-law, rest assured, even if the commander lies like this forever, I will take care of you, and make sure he gets treatment.”

But the treatment was merely conservative.

Just like his sister-in-law said, medicine isn’t advanced yet, they can’t awaken the commander.

Meng Yunhan couldn’t accept Yun Hao lying like this for his entire life. She contradicted loudly, “I don’t need your care, I want him to wake up, I want him to wake up.”

Lu Jianjun was overwhelmed with self-blame. He bowed his head, and couldn’t think of what to say, as anything he said wouldn’t make the commander wake up immediately.

“You better leave, I don’t want to see you now.” Meng Yunhan directly ordered him to leave. She didn’t want to see Lu Jianjun. The guilt and resentment she carried within herself was driving her to breakdown.

She was also a sinner.

In her past life, she didn’t love Yun Hao, and he didn’t suffer this fate. In this life, she wanted to treat him right, and such a tragedy occurred. Was it because she asked for too much?

Why did this happen to her?

All she wanted in life was to be a good wife, a good mother, a good daughter-in-law. Her demands were not high. Why did this happen to her? Why did this happen to her?

Lu Jianjun remembered his sister-in-law always being cheerful, gentle and virtuous. This sudden change made him uncomfortable.
