Reborn as a Tough Army Wife

Chapter 590 - 585: Heartache Beyond Words

Fang Pingying looked at Luo Zhiyong, and thought back to when she was in the Luo family, recalling all the little things Luo Dashan had done for her, her eyes also moistened.

Although it was because of his excessive indulgence towards Zhou Yunmei that Luo Dashan ended up like this, to be fair, Luo Dashan was not a bad person. She had been married into the Luo family for so long, and he had always been good to her, and he also cared deeply for his son Luo Zhiyong.

He just lacked the courage to be the head of the family and to manage these relationships at home properly.

Even if the previous Fang Pingying, because of family matters, had some complaints about him, she had never thought that he would have any health issues.

Yaoyao and Ruirui, two little ones, were staring at Luo Zhiyong with wide eyes while he was talking. Later, when Luo Zhiyong choked up and couldn’t continue, with tears brimming in his eyes, Yaoyao immediately ran to him, stretched out her chubby little hand, wiped his tears while consoling him like an adult, "Daddy, don’t cry, Yaoyao loves you."

Ruirui’s temperament was somewhat like Luo Zhiyong’s, somewhat aloof, but seeing his dad like this, he also stood in front of Luo Zhiyong with Yaoyao, looking at his dad with pity.

Luo Zhiyong looked at his children in front of him, feeling somewhat relieved, he reached out to hug them and was silent for a while.

Fang Pingying looked at the tall figure sitting in front of her, feeling immense pity.

Along the way, this man had endured too much.

His job, though it seemed glamorous to outsiders, the hardship he endured behind the scenes was definitely more than an ordinary person’s job, it’s understandable that the pressure on his shoulders was also much greater.

Next, his family.

Since starting work, he had been supporting the entire family, sending most of his monthly salary back home, never spending recklessly.

Later, after marrying her, the family’s financial situation improved somewhat, but the pressure from the family only increased, with demands for money becoming more frequent.

He had done so much for the family, yet no one at home appreciated his efforts or showed any sympathy for him, always feeling that he hadn’t done enough.

Now, with a crisis breaking out at home, he was still the one who suffered.

Xu He and Zhou Yunmei, who had caused this issue, were still in the provincial city, unaware of the situation and completely free from suffering.

Honestly, at this moment, Fang Pingying wished she could rush to the provincial city immediately, drag Xu He and Zhou Yunmei back, kneel them in front of Luo Dashan, and let them see with their own eyes the trouble they had caused.

But discussing these matters now was futile. All Fang Pingying could hope for now was for Luo Dashan to recover; he couldn’t just pass away like this, otherwise Luo Zhiyong would spend the rest of his life burdened with guilt and regret.

After waiting two hours, when everyone had almost lost hope, a doctor came out from the intensive care unit and brought unexpected good news to Luo Zhiyong and the others – Luo Dashan had narrowly escaped this time due to the efforts of the doctors.

But they couldn’t relax. If the same situation occurred in the next two days, it would likely be beyond salvation, meaning Luo Dashan was not out of danger yet.

However, no matter what, upon hearing this news, Luo Zhiyong was overwhelmed with joy and burst into tears, turned his back, took a deep breath—as long as there was hope for Luo Dashan, it was a matter of great joy for him.

After the doctor removed all the devices, Luo Zhiyong turned around to enter the ward.

Fang Pingying thought for a moment, glanced at Ruirui and Yaoyao beside her, and stopped him, "Take Ruirui and Yaoyao with you, let them visit their grandfather."

Fang Pingying knew that what Luo Dashan cared about most were these two little ones, letting them in to talk might ignite Luo Dashan’s will to live.

Fang Pingying crouched down and instructed the two kids, "Yaoyao, Ruirui, when you go in, don’t be afraid, because grandpa is sick and that’s why he is lying inside. Call for grandpa and talk to him more, hearing your voices will make him feel better."

The two kids seemed to understand what was happening at home, and after hearing Fang Pingying’s words, they didn’t make a fuss but obediently followed Luo Zhiyong to change clothes, disinfect, and enter the ward.

This time, upon entering the ward and seeing Luo Dashan, the two kids were not afraid. They rushed to call ’Grandpa’ and chattered away.

Luo Dashan, lying on the hospital bed, heard the voices of his grandchildren. Although his eyes remained closed, his eyelids moved repeatedly.

Whether it was heaven hearing Fang Pingying’s prayers or Luo Dashan not wanting to leave his grandchildren behind, over the next two days, Luo Dashan’s condition did not relapse.

Furthermore, after the doctor examined Luo Dashan that day, he mentioned that Luo Dashan was slowly improving and had stabilized. He would stay in the ICU for one more day and if his condition continued to stabilize, he could be transferred to a regular ward tomorrow.

Undoubtedly, this was incredibly good news for the entire Luo Family.

In that moment, Luo Zhiyong, unable to contain his excitement, grabbed Fang Pingying’s hand standing next to him and repeatedly said, "Pingying, dad is going to be alright, he’s going to be okay."

Fang Pingying felt Luo Zhiyong’s cold palm but did not pull away, just gently smiled at him, "Yes, he’s going to be okay."

However, seeing the redness in Luo Zhiyong’s eyes, Fang Pingying remembered that he hadn’t slept for several consecutive nights and suggested, "Why don’t you go to the hostel and rest a bit? Let Hong Lan watch here, and come back in the evening."

"No, I..."

Before Luo Zhiyong could refuse, Luo Hong Lan immediately interjected, "Big brother, you should go rest. Ever since we returned, you haven’t slept well at all; you’ve been watching over him continuously. Your body can’t take it. Besides, once dad is transferred to a regular ward, he will still need care. You can’t wear yourself out."

Luo Zhiyong, having been under immense stress and indeed not having had proper sleep, felt extremely tired and could hardly keep up. He nodded, "Alright, I will go rest for the afternoon and then come back tonight to replace you."

Seeing Luo Zhiyong agree, Luo Hong Lan then turned to Fang Pingying, "Sister-in-law, you take Ruirui and Yaoyao to rest too. The two kids haven’t been sleeping well these past days either."

Fang Pingying had also noticed the two kids yawning and nodded, waiting outside with the children for Luo Zhiyong.

Luo Zhiyong gave Luo Hong Lan some instructions on things to keep in mind, then went out to head back to the hostel for some sleep with Fang Pingying.

When they passed by a hospital bench, Luo Zhiyong saw Luo Zhiming sitting there dozing off, glared at him fiercely without saying a word, and walked straight on.

Fang Pingying looked at Luo Zhiming, lying on the bench in tattered clothes and disheveled like a beggar, and sighed softly.
