573 Meteorite Falling, Wait For Me (4)

with her two best friends.Lin Meng has always felt that it's better to have a few close friends than many acquaintances. So, with two friends, she feels content. Moreover, she believes that friendship..."Rong Ling!"

Lin Meng suddenly opened her eyes and let out a shout. The incandescent light hanging above shot into her eyes, causing them to sting instantly. She couldn't help but squint.

The two little ones nestled beside her immediately sat up, raised their heads, and grabbed her hands with one on each side, calling out.

"Mommy!"

Such gasping breaths, Lin Meng had already experienced countless times in her sleep. Although she fainted, she would often convulse, reaching out with her hands as if desperately trying to grab something. Her mouth hissed out Rong Ling's name, then she would cry, pink tears streaming down her face, one line after another, the area around her eyes almost stained red. There was no other way, Miao Qing asked the doctor to give her a sedative, only then did she truly calm down.

Feeding her food is impossible, whatever goes in comes right back out. She's completely refusing to eat, so we can only give her glucose intravenously.

She looks terrible!

Especially, Rong Ling has not been found yet, it's been a whole day. Twenty-four hours, this is a huge challenge to everyone's nerves. If it weren't for the fact that their side had strong energy and made tough demands, the search and rescue operation would probably have ended. Because in that situation, twenty-four hours of non-stop search and rescue, but not even a shadow was found, it can basically be concluded that the person is gone. People falling into the sea have always been difficult to find the body. Moreover, Rong Ling did not carry any communication tools on him, and the only phone found was lying in the mud at the bottom of the sea. And his person, still no trace.

It's ridiculous, the people I wanted to find are nowhere to be found, but the ones I didn't want to find are here. Li Lanqiu's body was found on a coral reef about 60 or 70 li away from the cliff. Her whole body was stuck in the coral reef, her legs had been bitten off a large chunk, and her face was extremely distorted, estimated that she fell into the water and was swept out by the undercurrent when she encountered a large fish, which tore off her legs alive. Then she died in extreme pain and suffocation. Finally, she was washed ashore by the undercurrent and stuck there. When they found her, a group of small fish were nibbling on her body. Her body was salvaged. But what's the point of salvaging it She got away with it for free. In Miao Qing's opinion, this woman's body should just be left in the water to be eaten piece by piece.

A vile woman deserves the vilest end!

Lao Qi Chen Zhi was deeply ashamed and blamed himself for his incompetence. Back then, when the two youngsters asked him to redesign a watch that could locate all four members of their family on the display, he couldn't fulfill their request immediately due to technical issues. Besides, he had other projects on hand, so although he agreed at the time, he kept putting it off and never delivered the finished product. He regretted that if he had focused his mind and led his team to overcome this challenge back then, even if Rong Ling's phone was lost, at least the watch he wore would have become a means of searching and could quickly locate him!

But technology, this sort of thing, can't be accomplished overnight! Some people spend their entire lives doing research and may not even come up with anything. It's not like you can just make it whatever you want it to be!

No one knows how Rong Ling is doing now. But in Xiao Yi's words — no news is good news. All anyone can do is comfort themselves with that.

Can this kind of mental comfort really work for Lin Meng! In this world, her relationship with Rong Ling is the deepest. The two have gone through many trials and tribulations together. They finally seemed to be on the verge of a happy ending, but this happened. People say that the deeper the love, the deeper the pain. Lin Meng, can she endure it!

Miao Qing frowned slightly, but still leaned forward quickly and asked her in a warm voice.

"Awake How do you feel"

Lin dreamed of the indoor lights, and thought about the last scene of herself fainting. A wave of sadness rose in her heart. The whole person suddenly became heavy and unable to move.

"What time is it" she croaked.

Miao Qing understood her meaning, so she didn't reply with the current time.

"The search and rescue operation has been going on for over a day!"

She sighed sadly in her heart, her lips moved several times, and she finally spoke.

"Haven't...found it yet"

ethereal, as if from another time and space.

Miao Qing didn't reply, but that was a tacit acknowledgment.

Lin Meng pursed her lips and let out a long, drawn-out sigh.

"No news is good news!" Miao Qing comforted.

Lin Meng didn't reply, she just closed her eyes. She felt tired, like all the air had been sucked out of her. She also felt cold, a coldness that came from deep within her bones.

"Mommy…" the two little ones called out to her.

But she was so exhausted that she didn't respond. Closing her eyes, even breathing felt like an unnecessary act. If she could, she'd rather skip it altogether.

Two little guys were a bit anxious, their eyes were slightly red as they looked at Lin Meng, clutching her hand and calling out again.

"Mommy…"

To be a mother, being called by two little ones like this, even though she was truly tired, exhausted to the point where she didn't want to move at all, she still made a great effort to wiggle her fingers. Just that slight lift, and the two little ones were overjoyed, sniffed their noses, and held her hand even tighter as if it were a precious treasure.

Miao Qing looked, furrowed her brows, and even Ah Zhen, who was sitting beside her, frowned.

She stood up, walked to Lin Meng's bedside, and sat down. She reached out and gently touched her hair. Lin Meng didn't move, and a trace of worry flashed across Ah Zhen's face.

"Don't worry too much, big brother. A good person will always be fortunate and he'll surely come back safe and sound."

Lin Meng remained with her eyes closed. Miao Qing beckoned to a young woman sitting beside her, and that woman came closer. Miao Qing whispered instructions to the woman to bring some food, and the woman nodded and silently left. At the same time, she informed the men waiting outside that Lin Meng had woken up.

They rented a house in this small town through connections, so even this large group could squeeze into the two-story cottage. As for the doctor, they also got him to come here to see Lin Meng's illness and gave her an IV drip through their connections.

In Lin Meng's house, Ah Zhen comforted her gently.

“Listen, when you're hurting, don't bottle it up. Tell us about it, it'll do you good. We're worried sick about you like this. Our big brother is missing, and we're really worried too. Maybe your heartache is worse than ours, but it's real pain and worry. But life goes on, you know that. Our big brother cared for you most of all. If he saw you like this, he'd be heartbroken and would definitely scold us half to death. So Lin Meng, please cheer up, okay For those who care about you, for our big brother, and for Youyou and Haohuo, you being like this hurts them the most. Those two kids are worried sick and have been by your side constantly. They haven't even left to go to the bathroom, always watching over you.”

Finally, Lin Meng opened his eyes.

A-zhen's heart relaxed a little. It seems like, talking to these two children is still effective.

“Look, your brother can't be found now. These two children depend on you completely. The children's grandmother also came with us, but as you know, your aunt isn't in good health. She suffered too much in the past and has some underlying ailments. This time, when she heard about your brother, she was very affected. She endured a whole day of flying with us to get here. Seeing you like this and the two children crying so miserably, your aunt couldn't take it anymore and is now bedridden. Right now, everything inside and outside the house relies on you. Even if your heart is aching, you have to pull yourself together, right The children are so young. Their father suddenly disappeared, and now their grandmother is also ill, they must be scared. If you continue like this, what will happen to these two children!”

Lin Meng blinked, tears welling up in her eyes. But the tears rolled and stopped, she held them back. She strained to raise her hand, grabbing hold of the two little ones' hands. The two little ones immediately opened their wet, tearful eyes and looked over. Their slightly pursed mouths revealed both their grievance and helplessness.

"Be good," she murmured, her voice barely a whisper as she spoke. It took all her strength to say those words. "Listen to your three aunties and uncles, and also your Miao Auntie, okay Don't worry them."

A-zhen frowned again. Hearing this, how did it sound like a farewell entrustment!

She hurriedly said, "These two little ones now only listen to you. We say anything, they don't even hear us. If they could listen to us, they wouldn't be lying on you all the time, not even eating their food!"

Lin Meng should be worried, angry, but now, she didn't even have the energy to put on a show of emotions. Hearing what Ah Zhen said, she could only tighten her grip on the two little ones' hands.

"Youyou, Haohuo, listen to Mommy. Mommy just told you both something important, remember it!"

Xiao Hao looked at Lin Meng with his big, dark eyes but said nothing. Xiao Youyou, on the other hand, came closer and pressed her small face against Lin Meng's, mumbling softly.

"You-you only listens to Mommy."

After finishing, she acted coquettishly, rubbing her face against Lin Meng's.

Lin Meng closed her eyes, feeling weary.

"Be good!" he said, but his voice was weak and lacking in conviction.

The little guy was still sulky. "Youyou has been very well-behaved."

Lin Meng stopped talking.

Then, the young woman who had just gone out came in, pushing a cart full of food. Miaoqing stood up and said, “Let’s eat!”

The two young ones, upon seeing the delicious food, felt their rumbling stomachs grow even more agitated. But they endured the discomfort and quickly turned their heads to look at Lin Meng. Lin Meng remained with her eyes closed, as if everything happening around her had nothing to do with her. Or perhaps, she hadn't smelled the enticing aroma of the food at all.

The two little ones sat there silently, not a word spoken.

Miao Qing glanced at him a few times, but still went about making porridge for herself. She then placed a small table next to the bed and put the porridge and several dishes on it.

"Let's eat, we've been hungry all day, hurry up and eat. After eating, we'll have the energy to wait for Rong Shao to come back!"

"That's right, Mengmeng, wake up for a meal," Azhen agreed, reaching out to help Lin Meng. But Lin Meng was lazy and didn't show any intention of getting up.

"I don't want to eat," she murmured in refusal.

"You can't just not eat!" Ah Zhen softly persuaded. "If you don't eat, even an ironclad body won't hold up! If you don't eat, your health will deteriorate, and by then, you won't be able to wait for your big brother. What will you do"

Two streaks of pink slid down from Lin Meng's eye corners.

Ling's pain, it was all from the wounds in her heart. [..tw many good novels] Every mention of waiting, of whether or not she'd get what she wanted, would reopen those wounds, making them bleed afresh.

A-zhen was frustrated, feeling that she was really tongue-tied. She quickly changed her words.

If you don't eat, what will happen to these two children! Who will take care of them then

Lin Meng remained motionless, her lips trembling slightly. "I'm not hungry," she whispered, her voice hoarse and dry. "I'll eat later!"

Not hungry!

This is after skipping meals for a whole day, how could you not be hungry!

For how long does "a while" actually mean

This is clearly an attempt at starvation!

Ai is both heartbroken and angry.

"Gulu—luru, gulu—lru—"

My stomach is growling uncontrollably from hunger!

A-zhen's eyes looked at the two children. The two children both had cold faces and didn't speak, just like they hadn't noticed their bellies were playing a game of empty city. But those two kids were so calm. Their stomachs were growling from hunger, but they acted as if nothing was wrong. This stubborn spirit, one wonders if it was inherited from their mommy or their daddy!

"You're making excuses for yourself!" A-zhen's tone turned cold, forcing herself to be a little harsher as she lectured Lin Meng. "I understand you don't feel like eating, but even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about the two little ones, Youyou and Haohuo. They've been keeping you company all day and haven't eaten either. Do you want to starve them to death As a mother, can you be so cruel"

She had to make herself heard!

Actually, the two children had already finished their meal on the plane. They were scolded by several uncles at that time, so they obediently ate. However, now is not the time to reveal this. We can only downplay it and exaggerate the situation a bit. These two kids wouldn't be stupid enough to expose her, would they

A-zhen raised her eyes and looked at the two little ones.

The two youngsters were much smarter than she had imagined. Not only did they not expose her, but they both covered their stomachs, looking extremely hungry.

Lin Meng opened her eyes, tears welling up as she looked at the two little ones. Little Youyou even sniffed and forced back the tears in her eyes. With a look that would absolutely break anyone's heart, she said softly, "Mommy, Youyou isn't hungry. Youyou will eat in a bit, and then I'll eat with Mommy!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, a tremendously loud rumbling noise came from his stomach. Little Haohao's stomach then let out a long, drawn-out "gurgling" sound that was almost unbearable to hear. This rendition of the Empty City Plan had become quite lively and had already reached its climax.

"Haohao isn't hungry either." Little Haohao whispered, as if he hadn't heard his own voice. But that voice was almost drowned out by the rumbling in his stomach.

"You, eat!" Lin Meng commanded, trying hard to put on a stern expression. But helplessly, she was tired, both mentally and physically. Her voice was weak and powerless, lacking any intimidation whatsoever.

"Yoyo is waiting for Mommy." Little Yoyo snuggled up to Lin Meng's side and nestled her head against her temple.

Little Hao also simply buried his face.

"You—listen to me!" Lin Meng tried her best to grab the hands of the two little ones, but neither of them moved.

"You all aren't listening to Mommy, are you" Lin Meng panted in a hurry. But the two little ones were still lying there like two little bugs, completely motionless.

Lin Meng opened his eyes and lay there, but his body couldn't move. He didn't even have the strength to pull on the two little ones.

Really — so weak!

She really had no appetite at all, but the child couldn't suffer with her! No matter how bad she felt, she couldn't let the child suffer!

She stared intently at the incandescent bulb above her for a while, then bit her lip and a spark appeared in her eyes. She turned her head and looked at Ah Zhen.

"Excuse me, could you help me up I'm full!"

Azhen's heart was filled with joy, and he quickly helped Lin Meng up. The two little ones also stopped pretending to be dead and hurriedly sat up to help support Lin Meng.

Lin Meng sat up slightly, gasping for breath, leaning against the bed and looking at the two little ones. "Come on, eat with Mommy!"

The two youngsters nodded silently, but they remained seated without moving. A-zhen and Miaoqing moved the small table forward together, making it convenient for Lin Meng to eat. However, the two youngsters knelt there motionless, seeming to wait for Lin Meng to pick up their chopsticks before they would eat!

Lin Meng raised his slightly trembling hand and, upon touching the spoon, gripped it tightly. Under the watchful eyes of the two children, he struggled to scoop up the millet porridge with the spoon and bring it to his mouth. His hands lacked much strength, so the spoon in his hand trembled because of his arm's shaking, spilling quite a bit of porridge. Xiao Yuyu reached out to catch it, but Azi got there first.

"I'm coming, eat quickly!"

She snatched the spoon from Lin Meng's hand, picked up the bowl of millet porridge, and naturally brought it to Lin Meng's mouth. Lin Meng's eyes flickered with a faint tear, but it was gone in an instant.

Opening her mouth, she swallowed the spoonful of porridge. She couldn't taste anything, it was bland and tasteless, like chewing wax. Actually, she didn't want to eat anything, but for these two little treasures, she had to. Even if she didn't want to, she had to.

The warm porridge, though tasteless, sent a slight burning sensation into her stomach. A wave of discomfort rose within her heart. She suppressed it, eating a few spoonfuls, then gathered her strength. She refused to be so weakly served by others. Her innate strength and stubbornness couldn't tolerate this weakness, so she declined Ajia's feeding and ate on her own. Spoon after spoon, she swallowed them without feeling.

"Don't just eat porridge, have some dishes too!" Ah Zhen advised.

The two children stopped their chopsticks and stared at Lin Meng with pleading eyes. Their innocent yet intimate gaze still conveyed the message, "Mommy eats first, then we will."

She picked up her chopsticks, trembling hands, although shaky, was successfully clip the dishes into the two small bowls.

“Be good, you guys eat more, don't make Mommy worry, okay”

The two little ones nodded but remained silent, watching her until she took a bite of food. Only then did they take the vegetables that Lin Meng had placed between them and shove them into their mouths. Baby was particularly eager to eat, stuffing it in with gusto while smiling flatteringly at Lin Meng.

"Mommy, it's so delicious."

"Mmm, delicious, delicious!"

"Eat more if you like!" Lin Meng then scooped some dishes into two smaller bowls.

"Mommy's eating too!" The two little ones immediately understood, and hurriedly began putting food into Lin Meng's bowl. In a short while, they piled so much food in that it was almost overflowing.

Lin Meng reluctantly forced a smile, but it was laced with tears of bitterness.

"Good child!"

Thus, this meal ended in a warm but bittersweet atmosphere.

Miao Qing and Ah Zhen looked at each other, both seeing ease in each other's eyes. Being able to eat was a good sign. As long as they could still eat, there was nothing they couldn't get through!

A-zhen and Miaoqing changed faces, even the two little kids changed faces.

"Mommy—" Little Youyou was anxious and quickly jumped out of bed, running to Lin Meng's side. He called her while earnestly patting her back with his small hands.

Lin Meng basically vomited up all the food in her stomach before she stopped.

She actually has no appetite at all!

She didn't want to eat, her whole body was rejecting food. But, for the sake of her two children, she had been enduring until now, forcing herself to put things into her mouth!

"Mommy—" Little Youyou looked at her with grievance, almost crying. "You... how did you become like this"

If everything is spit out, then what's the point of eating!

Little Youyou is sad!

Lin Meng lowered her eyes and silently tied the corner of her napkin.

"Sorry..."

Whispers, were directed at the little ones, also at Xiao Haohuo, A Zhen, Miao Qing, and the woman who had delivered the meal.

She pulled back the thin blanket, pretending to get out of bed to throw away the trash, but Ah Zhen yanked her back down with one hand.

"Just lie still for me." She sounded both exasperated and a little irritated, snatching the napkin from her hand.

She never expected Lin Meng would pull this move!

Miao Qing's face turned cold, her eyes flickered, but it was as if nothing had happened. She said faintly, "I guess my stomach can't accept these foods all at once. So, I'll have the kitchen make some egg custard. Eat a bowl of that first to settle your stomach, it's the same!"

"No need to bother!" she really had no appetite.

Miao Qing immediately tightened her face and sternly scolded her.

"You don't want to eat, but you have to eat it anyway! Don't give me that crap!"

She turned her head and instructed the young woman she had brought with her. "Xiao Cheng, do as I say and go to the kitchen!"

"Hmm." Xiao Cheng replied cheerfully.

Lin Meng sighed coolly. "I don't want to eat!"

"How old are you, stop acting like a child." Miao Qing reprimanded even more harshly. "Before you don't want your own life, you also have to think about your two children! People cannot be so selfish! If you didn't have this heart to raise them, you shouldn't have given birth to them in the first place, Haohuo, you shouldn't have adopted him either. Since you gave birth and raised them, these children are your responsibility. Even if the sky falls, you have to take care of these two children! Besides, Rong Ling is not dead yet, don't put on such a dead look for me! If you die in front of Rong Ling, well, that would be really hilarious!"

Lin Meng's eyes looked towards Miao Qing. The colors in her eyes were gray and dim, like a sky about to be swallowed by darkness. The sadness within them spread like an endless ocean, desolate and lifeless, like the Dead Sea found only in hell. Meeting such eyes would make you feel that this world was so bleak, that living felt meaningless. Then, perhaps it would be better to just die…die...

Miao Qing's heart went numb for a moment. Luckily, her willpower was strong, and she finally managed to break free from Lin Meng's gaze and forced out a hum. Then, the curse seemed to be lifted by that gruff hum. Miao Qing jumped, quickly averted her eyes, and refused to look at Lin Meng again. But in those few seconds, the thought of just disappearing from this world was truly frightening!

Lin Meng, with just his gaze, could affect her so deeply, driving her to the brink of suicide. What kind of darkness and despair must reside in Lin Meng's heart

Miao Qing thought about it, and felt terrified!

But, to her relief and admiration, she heard Lin Meng say.

“I… I really don’t have much of an appetite, but… go get me some egg drop soup, please! I’ll eat it!”

Even in despair, one must persevere and keep living!

Even though, she vomits every time she eats!

It wasn't that she wanted to die, but this body, it wouldn't obey her!

She knew she was sick, and the longer time passed, the worse her illness became.

She can't cure this disease!

The egg custard came up very quickly. She ate it, as she had said she would, but then she threw it up.

"Do it again!" she demanded of herself.

But later on, she ended up eating and spitting it out. Even so, she still ate with unusual seriousness, mouthful by mouthful. She even spat it out and continued without changing her expression. That kind of scene gradually became unbearable to watch. Little Youyou watched and watched, and directly burst into tears, snatching the egg custard from Lin Meng's hand.

"Mommy, I'm not eating anymore, boo hoo, I'm not eating. We're not eating, don't eat anymore, boo hoo..."

It's so painful, it makes even eating feel like a torture.

"Mommy, boo hoo... Mommy..."

Xiao Hao's eyes, just as tearful and swollen, were fixed on the two of them. Finally, seeming to not know what to do, he suddenly reached out his hand in a gloomy manner, grabbed his hair, and pulled it hard outward, muttering angrily under his breath. This frightened Ah Zhen so much that she quickly reached out to stop him.

What are you trying to do!

Lin Meng was also shocked, her pupils shrank suddenly, and then, pink tears, like pearls, rolled down one by one.

Two children, one in her arms crying like a little drenched soul, even trying to comfort her; the other not knowing what to do, frantically harming himself. She wasn't a good mother, no, no…

"Sorry!"

How selfish this mommy is!

These two little treasures, how cute they are, how adorable, how wonderful. She lost her husband, but these two children also lost their father. Yet, they are stronger than her and even try to comfort her. How much of a failure she is, how much of a failure!

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

She pulled Haohao from Akira's arms and kissed his little face repeatedly.

"Haohao, it's Mommy's fault. I'm sorry to you, please don't do this to yourself. It's all Mommy's fault, all Mommy's fault. Mommy won't do this anymore, won't do this anymore…"

"Yoyo—" She pulled Yoyo over with one hand and kissed his little face, trying to kiss away his tears. "It's Mommy's fault, Mommy didn't take good care of you, it's Mommy's fault, making you so heartbroken..."

“Mommy's little treasure, it’s all Mommy’s fault, Mommy didn’t do well as a mother, it’s all Mommy’s fault, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Mommy won’t do this again, Mommy will try my best to be good, not like this anymore, I will be good…”

"Wow!"

Suddenly, the two children burst into tears, their eyes streaming with tears that flowed like a river. Their faces were pale and flushed, and they cried so hard that they gasped for breath, as if to release all the sadness they had accumulated over time, and as if to roar out all the fear they had been suppressing in their hearts....

The mother and her two children were crying their hearts out, making quite a commotion. The men guarding outside couldn't take it anymore. They flung open the door and rushed in all at once.

What's wrong, what's the matter!

Yao Feiqian asked anxiously. All the men's eyes, like searchlights, were focused on the three of them. Seeing Lin Meng still crying desperately, and the two little dumplings sobbing so hard they looked like they were soaked in water, even a man with the hardest heart, more unyielding than any woman, couldn't help but feel his nose twitch, his eyes welling up.

"This...this don't cry anymore!" Yao Feiqian was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks. You'd be better off holding a gun to his head than letting him face this scene! He had absolutely no idea what to do!

Even the powerful figures like Shi Yu and Xiao Xiang were left with no recourse.

As for Xiao Yi, he was heartbroken but couldn't do anything about it. Rong Ling and his brothers guarded him like thieves, doing everything together as a group, isolating him as if they were afraid he would take advantage of the situation and run off with Lin Meng. At this point, he didn't know how to comfort himself.

Just when everyone was at a loss, suddenly, Yu Xu rushed out and knelt down in front of Lin Meng, bursting into tears.

"Mumu, I'm so sorry. It's all my fault. It's all my fault!"

Rarely does this man, usually a carefree jokester who seems capable of weathering any storm, stoop so low. He casts aside the notions of "a man kneels only for gold" and "a true man sheds no tears". This towering figure, usually a pillar of masculine strength and courage, weeps like a child, his cries echoing out in despair, like a trapped beast.d her intentions. The three words "for her entire life" resonated deeply with Rong Ling. That feeling of tightness in her chest seemed to dissipate a great deal!"This is what you said!" He arrogantly...
