My Dear Wife, Please Be Gentle!-Chapter 1188 - 1194: Affairs After Death

But Niu Zijun was her beloved son, and seeing his body covered in self-inflicted, bloody wounds made her heart ache too; all she could do was to shake a fan to drive away the mosquitoes.

Once she became the mistress of this place, she would see if the servants still dared to treat her with such disrespect!

The next day, Wang Yun and Niu Zijun got up with their faces swollen and dark circles under their eyes. The three little ones had thought they would leave, but no signs of departure appeared even by evening.

From this, the three little ones concluded that Wang Yun and her son had no shame at all.

However, having been taught a lesson, Wang Yun became more aware and tried to minimize her presence in the Tan Family household.

Two more days passed without any news from Li Mu’er, yet Duo’er’s condition was already very dangerous.

All those concerned for Duo’er stayed at the Tan Family’s side, unwilling to leave even for a moment, because this could very well be her last days.

"This is the medicine prepared by Yi Fan; you feed it to Duo’er," Bai Yifan delivered the medicine to the master bedroom.

The once graceful gentleman had turned into a disheveled young man in the pharmacy, but he didn’t care at all.

Tan Zhenghong took the bowl of medicine: "Thank you."

He was very grateful to Bai Yifan. Without his wholehearted effort, Duo’er couldn’t have held on until now.

When the medicine cooled down a bit, Qiao Duo’er drank the medicinal juice in one gulp.

She knew her own body very well, but she didn’t want to disappoint those who cared about her.

Even if... she could live just a second longer.

Guessing that the medicine had started to take effect, Bai Yifan took Duo’er’s pulse, which was weak and floating, even showing brief disappearances.

Which meant that Duo’er probably wouldn’t last through the day.

"Duo’er, wait for me, I have other methods," Bai Yifan gently let go of Duo’er’s hand.

"I have something to tell you."

Bai Yifan said in a panic, "I don’t want to listen, not a single word."

He didn’t want to hear Duo’er speak words of defeat.

"I managed to send Ah Hong and the children away just in time; if I don’t speak now, there might not be another chance," Qiao Duo’er said with a smile tinged with bitterness.

She didn’t want it to come to this either, but sometimes life does not go as one wishes.

Bai Yifan, wiping away the tears that came unbidden, said: "Alright, I’ll listen."

"Don’t lose heart, Ling’er is still waiting for you to save her, and if there are really souls after death, I will help you."

"The one I’m most worried about is Ah Hong; he is so single-minded, I’m afraid he might do something rash. You must stop him; and please, take good care of the two children in the future."

"And you, you’re like a clam, keeping everything bottled up inside. Life is too short; why live it so burdensomely?"

Qiao Duo’er felt there was so much more to say, but apart from these most important things, she couldn’t remember anything else.

Perhaps at the end, one’s mind really doesn’t work that well.

Bai Yifan managed to muster a smile: "Tan Zhenghong is a stubborn mule; who else could keep him in line but you? In Tangyuan and Green Group’s hearts, you are irreplaceable, so don’t give up."

In his heart, there would always be a place reserved for Duo’er.

With her here, his heart could be at peace.

"I won’t admit defeat until the very last moment," Qiao Duo’er responded.

Bai Yifan had no idea how he’d left the room until he saw Tan Zhenghong and was jolted back to reality.

"I’m going to stay with her," Tan Zhenghong said in a subdued voice.

In truth, he hadn’t left her side at all; he had heard every word Duo’er said.

But he really couldn’t do it.

Without Duo’er, how could he just barely survive?

Bai Yifan nodded: "Don’t be downhearted, she wouldn’t want to see you all upset."

Tan Zhenghong took a deep breath, letting the tears flow back into his heart.

Upon entering the room, Qiao Duo’er patted the space beside her, and Tan Zhenghong lay down obediently.
