Chapter 585 God Is Giving Her Another Chance
Yesterday’s vows feel like so long ago. Xia Ning looks at his body in the hospital bed and remembers her first encounter with Ou Yixuan more than ten years ago, feeling as if it just happened yesterday.
She was deeply impressed by his gentleness and his ambition.
She chased him for eight years, and he allowed her to chase him for eight years.
She knows that he is not a ruthless man. In the past eight years, he had loved her.
She could only blame the intrigue of this world!
Her relationship with him is ultimately no match for power and money.
Now that he made a choice, she has no choice but to turn around and leave.
Unexpectedly, the person who left first is so reluctant to let go in the end.
“You must be happy…”
Such a simple sentence shows his nostalgia and reluctance to part with her. How could she not be sad?
After all, she loved him for eight years!
Between her and him, there are so many misunderstandings and ties. In the end, she could only miss him for the rest of her life.
He was gone, and everything he did turns into nothing. Xia Ning closes her eyes and lets go of Ou Yixuan’s hand.
She hopes there will be no more regrets in his next life.
Hua Xiaoran wakes up from a nightmare.
When she opens her eyes, she sees a man sitting beside the hospital bed.
He is nearly seventy years old but still in good spirits.
Her heart feels pain when she saw the ring on his hand.
“Duke Davis…” The last time she saw this man and she said something to him was more than twenty years ago.
It feels like an eternity.
Duke Davis looks at her and says, “After all these years, you still remember me.”
Hua Xiaoran’s hands under the quilt are tightly clenched into fists. She will remember this man for the rest of her life!
She could recognize him no matter what!
“Duke, why are you here?”
Duke Davis raises his eyebrows and says, “I want to ask you the same question. Didn’t we sign an agreement and agree never to see each other again in this life?”
Her heart skips a beat and she gasps, “This is a coincidence… How did I know you would be here? My boyfriend was injured, and I came to the hospital with him.”
“Really?” He looks at her with contempt. Duke Davis doesn’t believe Hua Xiaoran’s words and says, “Is he your boyfriend? I don’t think so. The doctor said just now that your boyfriend couldn’t be saved. Your first reaction after waking up really puzzled me.”
Hua Xiaoran is startled, “What do you mean?”
“What do I mean? Hua Xiaoran, you keep saying that you love your boyfriend, but until now, I don’t see how much you care about him. At least…” Duke Davis leans slightly, “You are still talking with me.”
There is a trace of panic in Hua Xiaoran’s eyes, but she quickly calms down, “You are from a British royal family, and I should be polite to you…”
“Well, you’re right.” Duke Davis interrupts Hua Xiaoran, “Over twenty years ago, you came to see me out of politeness, right? Xiaoran, I remember you said that I would always come first in your heart, right?”
Gritting her teeth, Hua Xiaoran feels a chill in her heart.
She has been looking forward to seeing him for more than twenty years. But seeing him now makes her so scared!
Taking a deep breath, Hua Xiaoran pretends to be calm and says, “Duke, you misunderstood me. I really don’t mean anything else.”
“Well, I see. You really don’t mean anything else. My meeting with you today is just a coincidence.” Duke Davis said with a smile.
“No matter what you think, that’s what I mean.” Hua Xiaoran clenches her fists and turns to look at Davis, the man who makes her so scared, “How is he now?”
Hearing this, Davis’ eyes dim, and his tone suddenly becomes cold, “Very good. He is so good that you never have to worry about him!”
There is a glimmer of joy in her heart. She is worried about it being caught by Davis, so she turns her face away and says, “You misunderstood me. He’s better with you than with me. I understand that.”
Duke Davis looks straight at the woman in front of him. She is so weak and so endearing.
But this is only her appearance. There is always a devil sleeping in her heart.
When the devil wakes up, she will become scarier than the devil.
He is very old, but he is not stupid.
In his life, he has defeated countless enemies. He knows very well that even if it were just a moment of slack or relaxation, he would be doomed forever!
Does Hua Xiaoran want him to believe that her appearance is just a coincidence? Is it just a misunderstanding?
It’s impossible!
“Oh, it may be a misunderstanding.” Duke Davis smiles, stands up, and pats the ‘dust’ off himself, “Since the misunderstanding is cleared up, I won’t stay any longer. Go see your boyfriend.”
With that, he walks to the door of the ward. The bodyguards who are guarding outside have already opened the door. He takes a step and looks back as if thinking of something, “As the saying goes: You’re robbing the cradle. I used to do it. Now you’re not bad yourself!”
The door is closed and Duke Davis steps out. Hua Xiaoran immediately turns her head and stares fiercely at the door.
She used to be young and ignorant, but now that she really met him, it proves…
God is giving her another chance to take everything back!
Ou Yixuan has no family or relatives, and his funeral is very simple.
No matter what one did in life, everything goes silent after death.
Xia Ning stands beside the coffin, quietly accompanying Ou Yixuan.
Hua Xiaoran doesn’t come. She couldn’t stand the stimulation with her health condition. Hua Xiaoran told her between sobs that she couldn’t face Ou Yixuan’s departure.
Xia Ning sighs.
In the end, it is she who attends his funeral.
She thought about notifying Yin Jingsi. After all, Yin Jingsi and Ou Yixuan were married. But on second thought, Yin Jingsi would definitely fight with her if she came, which will disturb Ou Yixuan’s final peace.
Before he takes his last breath, he has been thinking of her. Since that is the case, she wants to say goodbye to him in peace.
The mourning hall resounds with music of lament as if the scenes of the deceased’s life were being played slowly. Xia Ning is sorrowful at the moment.
But her hand is tightly held by Yi Yunrui.
The warmth from his palm warms her sad heart.
She loved Ou Yixuan, and they were one step away from becoming husband and wife. She knows that Yi Yunrui is always concerned about her even if he doesn’t say anything.
She doesn’t know how Yi Yunrui is feeling at the moment. To be honest, she feels sorry for her husband by doing so.
But she knows that this man, no matter what happens, will always be by her side, shield her from the wind and rain, and make her feel warm.
After Ou Yixuan’s accident, Yi Yunrui secretly and silently made arrangements for everything.
She is really grateful.
Looking at Ou Yixuan, Xia Ning thought to herself, “Yixuan, don’t worry. I will definitely be happy.”
Suddenly, there is a mournful cry in the mourning hall. Xia Ning turns around and sees that it is Hua Xiaoran!
Didn’t she say she wouldn’t come?
“Ou Yixuan!” With a cry, Hua Xiaoran rushes towards Ou Yixuan’s coffin, weeping heartily.
Xia Ning wants to comfort her, but Yi Yunrui squeezes her hand tightly.
She looks at Yi Yunrui in confusion. Yi Yunrui gives Zhang Hai a hint. Zhang Hai takes the hint and walks over to Hua Xiaoran.
Yi Yunrui stretches out his arms, hugs his wife, and takes her to a chair beside him to sit down. At this time, a guard brings a cup of water, and Yi Yunrui takes it, “Honey, you have been standing for a long time. Drink some water.”
Xia Ning nods, takes a sip of water, and immediately feels much better.
The grief just now makes her forget her physical fatigue, and it is only now that she realizes that she couldn’t go on like this.
She is pregnant with a baby.
No matter how sad she is, she has to control her mood.
Yi Yunrui glances at Hua Xiaoran and says, “Honey, let’s leave.”
Xia Ning is stunned, “We’re leaving so soon?”
“Well, Hua Xiaoran has come, and there is no need for us to stay here.”
Xia Ning frowns. Being moved, she looks at Hua Xiaoran who is crying beside the coffin, and sighs.
They are both so poor and lonely.
Having said that, does Hua Xiaoran also have no friends or relatives?
Seeing his wife’s worried expression, Yi Yunrui says softly, “Don’t worry. I will take care of Ou Yixuan’s funeral. Zhang Hai is here, and you don’t have to worry about Hua Xiaoran. Let’s go, okay?”
Now that her husband has arranged everything, Xia Ning has nothing else to say. She nods to Yi Yunrui.
What Xia Ning found strange is that Duke Davis is standing at the entrance of the mourning hall!
Suddenly, Xia Ning feels embarrassed. She walks quickly to Duke Davis and bows to him, “Duke, I’m really sorry for neglecting you because of my friend.”
“Silly girl, you’re being so polite to me again.” Duke Davis smiles with kindness in his eyes, “Remember. Don’t be so polite to me in the future. I don’t like it.”
Xia Ning smiles and nods.
Having said that, the problem is that she couldn’t do it!
In Britain, Duke Davis is respected even by the Queen, and she doesn’t dare to be impolite to him.
“Commander Yi.” Duke Davis looks at Yi Yunrui and says, “Ning is pregnant, so it’s better for her to be not present on occasions like this.”
Yi Yunrui nods, “Yes, I’m going to take her home now and let her have a good rest.”
“You two go home.” Duke Davis waves, “I’ve been out long enough. It’s time to talk to my boy.”
When Duke Davis said this, Xia Ning remembers Leon’s words. Leon has been looking for his father for a long time.
Could it be that Duke Davis hasn’t given Leon a message until now?
It has been several months. No wonder Leon is so worried!
“Duke Davis, how long has it been since you left Britain?” Xia Ning is worried, “Leon has been looking for you.”
“I know that boy has been looking for me.” Duke Davis’s eyes flicker slightly, “I’ll go back to Britain after I’m done with that.”
