[ENG] Tokyo Love Accident 《东京爱情事故》

Chapter 15 : Perhaps in the Future

      Wei Xiao runs out of the library like crazy, running forward without knowing for how long. Suddenly, she feels a sharp pain in her abdomen, causing her to kneel down in pain, then passing out.

      In a daze, she hears many voices around her.

      "Doctor, how is my daughter?" her mother's voice.

      "There's nothing serious, she's been malnourished for a long time and her body couldn't take it, so she fainted."

      "Mom, Jiejie will be fine, please don't cry," her sister's voice.

      "It's all my fault, I should've known she would suddenly run out, I should've locked the door..."

      "Jiejie is not a child. Locking the door might keep her in for a moment, but it can't lock her in forever. Her current situation is her own fault. You've already done enough by taking care of her. You even skipped my school opening ceremony for her sake..."

      Smack!

      A sharp sound of a slap. Wei Xiao desperately tries to open her eyes but can't.

      Then she hears her mother's heart-wrenching voice, "She's your sister, and also my beloved daughter. How could you say such things about her! Is your school opening ceremony more important than your sister?"

      The surroundings fall silent. Wei Xiao is surprised. She used to think her mother only loved her sister and not her, but now her mother has actually stood up for her against her sister. She feels ashamed. She now realizes that she had misunderstood not only her father and Shi Yuquan but also her mother.

      Suddenly, her hand is held, and then her mother murmurs with tearful voice, "Xiao, Mom is sorry, I didn't expect that saying divorce to your father in a fit of anger would lead to his accident. I wanted to give you a complete family, so I chose to remarry, but I didn't consider whether you needed it or not. I wanted to talk to you many times, but you kept closing your door. Later, I felt like whatever I said was useless... But that doesn't mean I don't love you. I don't want to see you like this. Although Shi Yuquan is gone, you're still young. Your life must go on. You still have me. You must not do anything foolish in the future..."

      Tears stream down Wei Xiao's eyes and fall onto the pillow. She speaks, her voice hoarse and weak, "Mom..."

      Wei's mom rushes forward in surprise, checking on her, "You're awake? What do you want to eat? I will go buy it for you."

      She opens her eyes and sees her mother, with a face full of concern, tears not yet wiped away. Suddenly, she bursts into loud sobs, crying her heart out. She's truly back, this hospital is where Shi Yuquan passed away.

      "Why did I come back again! Why!"

      Seeing her daughter suddenly getting so worked up, Wei's mom quickly comforts her, "Where do you want to go? Yesterday, while I wasn't home, you suddenly ran out. I searched for you for a long time before finding you. You fainted in your university library. Don't you remember?"

      Yesterday? She was in Japan for so long, and only one day passed in 2016? Could it be that everything was just a dream? Nothing actually happened?

      Wei Xiao's eyes stare blankly, and her mom reaches out to feel her forehead, "It's a little warm. Are you running a fever? I'll go find the doctor." Saying this, she rushes out.

      The doctor conducted a comprehensive examination for Wei Xiao, then said, "Miss Wei, you can't keep distressing yourself like this. Even if you can handle it, your baby inside cannot."
