4547 The Other Side 516
The woman who had lost her daughter was already about to pa.s.s out from crying. Her tears seemed to have dried up, she could no longer cry. However, her body was still twitching from crying. One could see the streaks that the tears left on her face.
“How could this be…” The woman said aggrievedly, “I thought that everything would get better… sob…”
Yun s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ wanted to comfort her, but she felt that she was in no position to do so. If she were this woman, she would have fainted from crying.
When a person is truly sad, what she needs is not someone who would comfort her, but a shoulder to lean on or someone who will cry with her, to vent all the sadness in their hearts through their tears.
!!Which was just as well.
Not long after, Mu Yazhe finally returned.
Excited to see him, she shot to her feet. “What did he say?”
“The dean has agreed. We can go in and visit Little Yichen now, but Yueyao is not allowed in.”
“Yes. Even if they allowed Yueyao to enter, I won’t let her.”
She did not even want Youyou to go with them. However, Youyou must be worried sick about Little Yichen, and he’d be furious if they didn’t allow him in.
After receiving the approval, the three of them arrived at the quarantine zone, eager to enter. They changed into sterile protective suits in advance and followed the doctor into the quarantine zone.
Actually, the quarantine zone was not as scary as they had imagined. However, because the influenza virus was airborne, everyone who entered and exited the zone had to wear heavily protective clothing.
Even so, there was news that some doctors and nurses had died in the line of duty because they were too exhausted and the protective measures were not adequate.
“Little Yichen is in the first room in front.”
Upon hearing this, Youyou immediately let go of his mother’s hand and ran ahead.
Pus.h.i.+ng open the door, his vision instantly became misty as the heater was turned on in the room, and he was wearing a soft s.h.i.+eld in addition. The boy had no time to wipe the condensation off the soft s.h.i.+eld as he ran to the bed.
Little Yichen was lying on the bed with his eyes closed. It was hard to tell if he was awake or asleep. As Youyou walked over, the sound of his footsteps alerted Little Yichen.
Little Yichen finally opened his eyes and looked shocked to see his brother. “Youyou…”
“It’s me, Big Brother,” he called out.
Little Yichen felt even more incredulous. Firstly, this was a quarantine zone. How could Youyou enter just like that? Secondly… Why would this kid address him as “big brother” in such an angelic manner?
Little Yichen to himself, “Am I dreaming?!”
“Idiot, it’s not a dream. I’m not the only one who’s here…” Before he could finish speaking, Little Yichen saw his father and mother following behind. He was dumbfounded. Just as he was about to speak, he coughed violently.
“Cough, cough, cough…”
He could not stop coughing. Youyou was both distressed and angry to see this. “Don’t talk anymore. Didn’t the doctor tell you to rest?!”
“Am I dreaming?” Little Yichen was still suspicious and quietly said, “Why would you be calling me Big Brother like such an angelic boy?”
For some reason, Youyou’s eyes began to sting when he heard Little Yichen’s teasing tone.
Did he rarely take the initiative to address Little Yichen as “big brother”?
