Chapter 1546: God’s Will
Huo Yunshen kept apologizing with his trembling voice and his shattered heart.
He blamed himself for losing his wife.
“Please, get up…” Helian Wei said, helping Huo Yunshen up from the ground. “It’s not your fault, it’s mine.”
Yun Xuerou’s agenda was always focused on Jing Ruyue, and Jing Xi was just a victim in her revenge.
“How’s mom?” Huo Yunshen asked, looking at Jing Ruyue, who was unconscious.
“She’s in shock, but she’ll get better,” Helian Wei replied. “How’s the rescue going?”
Huo Yunshen only shook his head in reply.
Helian Wei could see that Huo Yunshen was doing his best to hold back the urge to dive under the water to look for Jing Xi.
He was shrouded in sadness.
As someone older than Huo Yunshen, and his half father, it became Helian Wei’s job to cheer Huo Yunshen up even though it hurt him too.
“This must be God’s will,” Helian Wei said. “Don’t give yourself up because of something like this happened. You’re still young, and you still have a lot to do. The Dragon Kingdom needs you, your children need you. They’ve already lost their mother, don’t make them lose their father too. Live on, for the children, please.”
Huo Yunshen looked at Helian Wei. His pride as a man made him hold his tears back. All he could do was swallow all his sadness and sorrow again.
Helian Wei was right; he still had a huge responsibility to shoulder.
He could not leave his children that Jing Xi had left with him. He had to meet her expectations.
“Where’s Little Grape?” Hu Yunshen asked.
“In the garden. Go take a look at him,” Helian Wei encouraged.
Huo Yunshen nodded and left.
It was as if he had become a lifeless person ever since Jing Xi went missing.
He arrived in the garden. Ying Bao was playing with the puppies while the nanny was tending to Little Grape. The little boy was learning to walk by holding onto the bench.
Huo Yunshen felt like crying again when he saw his children.
He stood there for a few minutes and did his best to hold his tears in.
He then walked towards his son and said, “Little Grape, come here…”
Little Grape realized his father had come and smiled. He walked wobbly towards his father and jumped into his arms.
Huo Yunshen hugged his son. Even though Little Grape still couldn’t understand words, it was as if he knew what was happening and looked behind Huo Yunshen.
He was looking for his mother.
He was wondering where his mother, who was always with his father, was.
“Stop… Mommy’s… She’s not here…”
“Mommy!” Little Grape started to cry as if he understood what Huo Yunshen meant.
“Mommy’s coming back later, okay?” Ying Bao quickly ran over to comfort her little brother. “She’ll come back, so just wait, okay?”
But no matter how much Huo Yunshen and Ying Bao tried, Little Grape would not stop crying.
“Stop it!” Huo Yunshen scolded. “Stop crying!”
