Chapter 467 - Happiness
“Mom, is everything fine?” Li Huowang asked Sun Xiaoqin after swallowing the smooth egg soup.
“Everything is fine, and I'm going to be fine as long as you're fine,” Sun Xiaoqin said, smiling while staring at Li Huowang.
However, Li Huowang noticed something amiss in her body language. Moreover, her smile was fake. Also, her words just now only served to console him and make sure that he wouldn’t be worried about her.
“Mom, don’t worry. The treatment is effective. I just need more time to recover.”
“Aiya. I’m not worried at all. I know my son will get better,” Sun Xiaoqin said, smiling.
Li Huowang sighed in his heart. Cultivating the "Truth" was much harder than he initially thought, and it was clear that he would have to spend more time on it if he wanted to escape the hospital.
Li Huowang had already waited for so long, so he didn't mind waiting for a bit longer.
Unfortunately, his mother's suffering would not stop until Li Huowang was no longer stuck in a hallucination. Read latest chapters at nov(e)lbin.com Only
Should I spend more time with her? Should I pretend that I’m getting better? Li Huowang thought about it before immediately scrapping that idea. It was a waste of time, and it would make his goal even more difficult to achieve. He ought to spend more time cultivating rather than in something else.
Realizing that his mother was forcing herself to be happy, Li Huowang thought about what he could say to cheer her up and said, “Mom, I want to play games once I’m discharged. I want to play for an entire year. Can I do that?”
Sun Xiaoqin’s eyes lit up, and she exclaimed, “Of course! I will even cut some fruits for you to eat while you're playing! If you ever get bored playing by yourself, I will ask your father to play with you! He can play with you for as long as you like!”
Li Huowang smiled and nodded. “We should travel the world once I'm discharged and do things we never got to do, like bungee jumping or skydiving.”
“Ah, I don’t want to bungee jump. You can go with your father. I’ve seen videos of people going for a bungee jump, and I don’t want to do it.”
Li Huowang distracted her by talking about many different topics, and Sun Xiaoqin's mood improved as time ticked by. Eventually, her smile became natural as the two talked for a while.
“Oh? To think my son can actually speak like that now. All right, then! I'll wait for you to marry her so we can have a great wedding dinner together!” Sun Xiaoqin exclaimed with a bright face.
The scenery slowly peeled away into darkness. It had been a while since he became blind, but he still hadn't gotten used to the pitch-black world before him.
“Li Sui?” Li Huowang extended his arms. Soon, he felt a thin, bony paw.
“Father, I'm here.”
“Come, bring me back to the village.”
“Father, you picked up something on the ground just now and—”
“I was drinking egg soup!” Li Huowang interrupted her and repeated, “I was drinking egg soup!”
Li Sui thought about it and asked, “Is that so? Where is it? I want to eat, too.”
“All right, let’s go back to the village and let Yang Xiaohai make some for you. Mom, no need to look at me anymore. I have something to do, so I can’t stay here. I'll be back in three days for dinner.”
With Li Sui's help, Li Huowang managed to go down the mountain and return to the Bai Family Estate.
Upon returning to his room, Li Huowang sat carefully on a stool and turned to Li Sui, who was heading toward the kitchen, and shouted, “Come here and remove the bandages on my face! I want to know how my eyes are doing.”
Li Sui gently removed the bandage on Li Huowang's face, and a ray of light vanquished the darkness in Li Huowang's pitch-black world. However, he was forced to close his eyes again—it was too bright.
A few moments later, he opened his eyes slowly and saw that he could see once again. He had recovered his vision. Li Huowang looked outside the window and stared at the black roof tiles before turning to look at Li Sui.
Li Sui proceeded to remove her veil and straw robe, allowing Li Huowang to finally take a good look at her for the first time ever since the Natural Disaster.
