The General's Darling Is Delicate
Chapter 389 - 252: Soul Lost, Now Vegetative
CHAPTER 389: CHAPTER 252: SOUL LOST, NOW VEGETATIVE
"Darling, is it my Nuannuan?"
Father, just over forty years old, was in his prime. Yet, he looked like an elderly man past sixty, his eyesight failing.
He could barely see the appearance of the girl before him.
But that sweet, soft voice, who else could it be but his Nuannuan?
"Dad! It’s me! It’s me! I’m sorry... I’m sorry..."
Yun Chunnuan had thought before, she didn’t regret saving people.
But at this exact moment seeing her father, she regretted it!
Other people’s children are still children; her parents raised her so much, should she make them bury someone with black hair?
She didn’t know what to say, even an apology seemed ridiculous.
Yun Yi hugged his daughter tightly, the eyes that were already dried from crying once again welled up.
He kept patting his daughter’s slender back, each word was a complaint, "Why so cruel! How can you be so cruel! A year, seven months, and eight days, a year, seven months, and eight days! You never even appeared in dad’s dreams! You’re taking my life!"
Yun Chunnuan looked exactly like she did before she died.
She was wearing a brand-new little dress, beautifully ready to start her university life, her little palm-sized face reddened like a small rabbit, tears pattering down rapidly, sobbing too much to speak.
She thought her dad would blame her for saving people, but he didn’t.
Dad was only sad about why she had only now given him a dream.
Yun Chunnuan knew her time was limited, she quickly wiped away her tears and lifted her head from her father’s embrace, "Dad, I didn’t die, in our world my body might be gone but my soul is still alive, I traveled back to ancient times! I became a Princess of the Great Xia Country!"
Yun Yi blinked his blurry eyes, still unable to see his daughter’s face clearly.
He even doubted, whether he was dreaming...
Oh, no, he must be dreaming, right?
"Time travel? Ancient times?" Yun Yi, being a history teacher, took quite some time to grasp his daughter’s words.
Excitedly he asked, "Which dynasty? What princess?"
"Not in the history books," said Yun Chunnuan regretfully. "It’s a place called Qingxuan Continent, I’m a princess of the Great Xia Country, and soon after I traveled there, I encountered a marriage alliance and became the wife of Great General Bianliao."
These words made Yun Yi’s ears buzz.
His daughter was only eighteen years old!
Eighteen and already someone’s wife?
This was a fact a modern person couldn’t accept.
Yun Chunnuan saw her father’s pain and quickly explained, "Dad, he treats me very well, I was not yet seventeen when I traveled, and he never forced me.
Even though I arrived at the General Mansion for a marriage alliance, he was willing to wait thirteen months for me, until I turned eighteen, and he disregarded the opposition from the court to proudly bring me into his home..."
The old father hearing these words almost spat out in anger.
No matter how good his son-in-law was, in the old father’s eyes, he was still a bandit, a robber!
The flower he nurtured with care was just taken away by a bandit with its pot!
But, what could Yun Yi do?
His daughter was at least alive!
"Am I stupid in my sleep?" Yun Yi murmured in disbelief, unable to accept this reality.
Yun Chunnuan held her father’s hand, her voice choked, "Dad, it really is me, we had a golden retriever named Big Yellow, I even raised a group of stray cats, our neighborhood..."
Yun Chunnuan told him a lot, including things only the two of them knew from her childhood.
Only then did Yun Yi believe his daughter had truly sent him a dream.
Yun Chunnuan smiled through her tears, "Oh right, Dad, you have a grandson now, I just gave birth to a son, he’s chubby and white, very cute."
Yun Yi: "..."
This news wasn’t exciting for him, it felt like a bolt from the blue.
In his eyes, his daughter was still a freshly graduated high school student, yet to step into the university halls.
How could this child already have a child?
He held his daughter’s small hand, unable to stop his tears, "Did it hurt?"
In an instant, Yun Chunnuan cried even more fiercely.
This was a real dad, concerned only about his daughter.
Yun Chunnuan dared not speak of what she had been through, choosing only to share the good and not the bad, "It didn’t hurt, see I’m perfectly healthy now? By the way, where’s mom? How is she?"
Compared to her mother, Yun Chunnuan had a deeper bond with her father.
But her mother was still her mother, and she was deeply concerned.
Hearing this, Yun Yi’s eyes filled with inexplicable pain.
Yun Chunnuan sensed the severity of the situation immediately and anxiously inquired, "How is mom? I want to..."
As she spoke, she suddenly felt dizzy.
The next second, she shivered and abruptly awoke on the bed.
"Time’s up." Shen Ruosui spoke calmly.
"Liar! What happened to my mom? Is something wrong! Grandmaster, let me stay ten more minutes, I beg you!"
She had focused solely on telling dad about her situation, forgetting to ask about her family.
Mom, grandpa, grandma, are they alright?
Dad had ended up like that...
How about them!
Her original intent was simply to let dad and mom know she was okay now, not truly dead, perhaps easing their minds a bit.
But now, Yun Chunnuan felt increasingly heavyhearted...
"What if you know?" Shen Ruosui’s tone remained light as she removed the magnetic therapy patches from the girl’s temples.
Yun Chunnuan’s tears poured like a flood.
Indeed, what if she knows? What if?
But she wanted to know! She had to know!
"Tell me! Grandmaster, I’ve experienced pain in two lifetimes, I never dared to see the me who never arrived in the second life, wondering what it would be like in that world, because I knew I couldn’t return.
But at least let me know, are my family okay now? How about my mom, what happened?"
Shen Ruosui’s peach-pink eyes flickered with a hint of confusion.
She truly was an unfit dimension savior.
Unable to be as cold-blooded as a robot, unable to remain aloof.
Even a few tears from the young girl made her heartache.
That’s why she never showed herself.
Because she didn’t know what changes her appearance would bring to this world.
If they were good, fine.
But what if they were bad?
Damn it, even if they were worse, could things really get any worse now?
Shen Ruosui, with a reckless demeanor, broke all the vows she made in the space station.
"Your mom has been in a coma for over a year, I’ve tried to help her, but... her soul is gone, and she’s become a vegetable."
Yun Chunnuan, who had just risen excitedly, sat dazedly, falling back onto the bed.
Soul lost...
Vegetable...
