His Canary [他的金丝雀]

29. I Obey You (8)

　　"Including", these are two simple words, but they sound so heavy when spoken.

　　The day Dong Ci received the admission letter from F University, she was preparing to go to the hospital with Jing Rong to see her mother.

　　At that time, she held the letter in her arms with some trembling. At that moment, she wanted to rush to her mother and tell her that she had succeeded.

　　"Mom, I have been admitted to F University. As long as I study hard in the next few years, I believe I will soon be able to fulfill Dad's original dream."

　　Dong Ci was full of excitement and joy, and she couldn't wait to share it with her mother, but when she really saw her mother, she couldn't be happy anymore.

　　Her mother seemed to have not slept well for many days, with dark circles under her eyes. In just a few months, she lost a lot of weight.

　　Dong Ci somehow recalled the scene of her mother making sushi for her in the morning a long time ago. It was then that she realized that something was wrong with her mother since then.

　　When her mother opened the shop, she would always make all kinds of delicious food for her. At that time, she was busy studying and getting rid of Jing Rong, and she never noticed that her mother's appetite was getting smaller and smaller. Now that her illness has broken out, she eats very little almost every day.

　　Her mother did not react at all to the admission notice that Dong Ci put in front of her. She stared blankly at the bright F on it, and suddenly a tear flowed from her eyes.

　　"You, you get out of here!"

　　Her mother seemed to be in pain. She held her head and scratched her hair irritably, and her body was shaking all the time. Dong Ci was startled. Just as she was about to go over to help her mother, she was hurriedly pulled away by the doctor who came in.

　　"The patient is emotionally unstable. Don't stimulate her anymore. Please leave immediately."

　　The mother was still trembling on the bed. Her face was in pain and she even began to breathe rapidly. Dong Ci bit her lip, unable to extricate herself from the heartache.

　　How ridiculous it was that her mother was in so much pain in front of her, but she could not go forward to comfort her, and even had to stay away from her.

　　"Mom——" Dong Ci murmured to her.

　　"Please get out immediately."

　　Following the doctor's urging, Dong Ci could only retreat helplessly. At this moment, her mother, who had been groaning in pain, suddenly turned her eyes to her. She stared at Dong Ci's face fiercely, and her words were broken.

　　She shouted, "Xiao Ci!"

　　Dong Ci turned back in disbelief. At that moment, her mind went blank. She ran towards her mother without thinking, but was stopped by the doctor in the ward.

　　"Let me pass. Didn't you hear my mother calling me?"

　　"Let me pass. I want to take care of my mother myself!"

　　The mother's cry of "Xiao Ci" just now was painful, but she could hear the mother's helplessness and sadness. The mother was still looking at her, her eyes became more fierce.

　　Her lips were trembling as if she was saying something. Dong Ci wanted to rush forward to listen to what her mother said, but at this moment, everything in front of her became pitch black.

　　"Xiao Ci."

　　Jing Rong hugged her from behind and covered her eyes with his palms to block all her vision. "Come out with me."
