Revenge of the Wife

Chapter 224

"Li Ma couldn't help but cry. When her daughter brought Huang De Han home all those years ago, she didn't like him at first sight. His eyes were too cunning, darting around restlessly, giving away the fact that he wasn't an honest person.

As soon as he entered the house, his eyes never stopped scanning everything in the room. Perhaps he saw that the living conditions were good. He had a particularly sweet tongue, constantly calling everyone uncle and aunt. Although his mouth was smiling, his eyes lacked any trace of laughter, giving off a sense of fakeness.

When Zhang Yan learned that Huang De Han's family only had a bedridden mother left, she expressed her strong opposition.

Li Man had been pampered by her since childhood. How could she let her daughter suffer like this?

Moreover, Huang De Han didn't seem honest and was not a suitable match.

But Li Man was stubborn as if possessed by a demon. She insisted on marrying Huang De Han and even secretly took her household register to register their marriage when Zhang Yan was not at home.

Upon learning of this, Zhang Yan was so angry that she was hospitalized and severed ties with Li Man in a fit of pique.

She initially thought that Li Man would come to apologize after some time, but she never expected Li Man to be so stubborn. She never called her, and Zhang Yan, in turn, stubbornly refused to call Li Man.

Unexpectedly, this silent war lasted for eleven years until now, when Li Man's father fell seriously ill, forcing Zhang Yan to make this call.

She knew that her husband was suffering from a longing for their daughter.

But didn't she also long for this daughter? She was her only daughter!

"... Mom... I'm sorry... I'm sorry..."

Apart from apologizing, Li Man didn't know what else to say to express her guilt.

"Man Man, come back quickly. Your father may not have much time left..."

"What happened to Dad? Mom, what happened to Dad?"

Li Man became anxious as soon as she heard the news, asking repeatedly.

"Your father has stomach cancer, and it's already in the advanced stage. The doctors say he doesn't have much time left..."

Li Man felt like the sky had fallen upon hearing this news. She quickly said, "Mom, tell Dad to wait for me. I'll come back right away!"

After hanging up the phone, Li Man hurriedly went to pack her clothes.

"What's wrong with you, Li Man? What happened?" Chen XiaoHui asked anxiously when she saw Li Man like this.

Tears rolled down Li Man's face as she cried, "XiaoHui, my dad is dying. I need to go back now."

Chen XiaoHui was shocked by the news and quickly said, "Then go back quickly!"

After speaking, Chen XiaoHui went back to her room and came out with ten thousand yuan, which she stuffed into Li Man's bag. "Take this money."

Li Man quickly pushed the money back to Chen XiaoHui and said, "No, I have enough."

"Take it!" Chen XiaoHui insisted, stuffing the money into Li Man's bag. "Consider it my gesture of goodwill towards your uncle and aunt. You haven't been back for so many years, buy them something!"

"Thank you!" Li Man choked back her tears.

"Alright, go quickly!"

Chen XiaoHui couldn't bear to see Li Man like this and urged her to leave."

Li Man took a taxi straight to the airport after receiving the news and booked the next available flight on her phone.

When the plane landed in the afternoon, she hurriedly took a taxi to the hospital.

At the entrance of the hospital, she saw her mother.

They hadn't seen each other in eleven years, and her mother had aged significantly. Wrinkles covered her once smooth and tight face, and her temples were streaked with white hair.

Her back was slightly hunched as she stood alone at the hospital entrance.

Tears welled up in Li Man's eyes instantly.

Zhang Yan also saw Li Man. She could hardly recognize her own daughter and her heart ached even more. Tears streamed down her face. Just by looking at Li Man's appearance, she knew that she hadn't been living well. She had come back alone without Huang De Han accompanying her, and she hadn't brought the child with her either.
