Chapter 28- Back to Singapore

Choosing a Nursery Home - In the dressing room. Two o'clock in the afternoon.

"Chengdong, you don't you perform today and take a rest." The dean said.

"No need, I can do it. I won't think too much if I have something to do." Chengdong replied.

"Okay then. I'll prepare the room and bed sheets for you. I'll ask Uncle Lin to accompany you tonight." The dean said.

"Thank you, dean. Are you free after the performance? I want to ask about my biological parents." Chengdong asked.

"Okay, no problem." The dean replied.

Chengdong took the pills and put on makeup. After he finished his makeup and put on a clown wig, when he was about to get up, his nose suddenly bled and his vision went dark. Chengdong sat down and calmed down for a while....

"I... I've never felt this way before. Am I going to be blind!?" Chengdong said to himself in surprise.

Lin Uncle opened the door and went in...

"Mr. Song, are you okay?!" Uncle Lin asked worriedly.

"I'm fine. I'll be fine after a rest." Chengdong replied.

Afterwards, Chengdong went down to perform. That day, he had a lot of fun with the children. He completely forgot about his physical pain.

Choose a nursery home - on the dining table. 6:30 in the evening.

"Mr. Song, I got you a bowl of porridge and fried noodles. The director said you can only eat lighter food." Xiao He said.

"Thank you." Chengdong replied.

At this time, Chengdong received a text message from Brother Bao.

-Chengdong, is everything okay? I haven't received your text message since I attended you and Michelle's wedding a year ago. - Brother Bao wrote.

Chengdong looked at the phone with difficulty. His eyesight began to deteriorate. His head hurt a lot. Xiao He saw Chengdong pinching his right head...

"Mr. Song, are you feeling uncomfortable?" Xiao He asked.

　　"I... I just have a headache." Chengdong answered weakly.

　　At this time, Chengdong grabbed his head very tightly. His nose began to bleed, and he wiped it with his hands, and saw that his hands were all bloody. He covered his nose and quietly walked upstairs to the room. He climbed the stairs with difficulty.

　　In Jiale Villa. 7 o'clock in the evening.

　　Jiale and Xuefen were having dinner.

　　"Jiale, do you think we treated Chengdong too much this morning in the law firm?! After all, he was my husband." Xuefen asked worriedly.

　　"Then he wouldn't be too much when he wanted to kill you?!" Jiale asked angrily.

　　"But he really regretted it." Xuefen answered.

　　"I'm full. I'm on the night shift tonight, don't wait for me." Jiale said and left.

　　Xuefen washed the dishes, wiped the table and went to take a shower. While taking a shower, she kept thinking about what happened in the morning, and she didn't notice that she fell to the ground and hit her head. Many memories came to her mind one by one.

July 6, 2008. Hong Kong.

Michelle in the car. 1:30 p.m.

"You want to die, right? Good! Then we die together! As you wish!" Michelle asked angrily and excitedly.

"No! I... I have this idea, but... but I have never thought of killing you!" Chengdong answered weakly.

November 7, 2009. Hong Kong.

Xuefen in the room. 7:30 a.m.

Xuefen woke up....

"It turns out that the car accident was caused by me! It's not Chengdong's fault! I blamed Chengdong wrongly! I want to see him right away!" Xuefen said to herself anxiously.

Choice Nursery Home - Guest room. 7:45 a.m.

Chengdong got up, with dried blood in his nose. He went to the bathroom to wash, brushed his teeth, and changed his clothes. When he was about to go downstairs, he rolled down the stairs because of a headache and blindness. The crowd downstairs heard the sound and ran over quickly, and saw Chengdong fainted on the ground, his nose and right eye did not stop the bleeding and send him to the hospital.

Private Hospital in Mid-Levels - Jiale's office.

7:50 am.

Xuefen opened the door...

"Jiale!! I...I remember it! It wasn't Chengdong who wanted to hurt me! It was Chengdong and I who had a quarrel that caused the car accident. You all blamed him wrongly." Xuefen said anxiously.

"What!? You recovered your memory!?" Jiale asked in surprise.

"I remember everything. But let's go ahead with the wedding. I know you've done a lot for me." Xuefen hugged Jiale and answered.

At this time, the nurse rushed to Jiale's office...

"Doctor Gu! It's bad! Mr. Song fell from the second floor of the orphanage with blood in his right eye and nose!" the nurse said anxiously.

Xuefen and Jiale ran to the emergency room.

Outside the emergency room. 8:15 in the morning.

"Wait outside while I go in to check on him." Jiale said.

In the emergency room.

"Scott, Lao Jiang, how is Chengdong?" Jiale asked.

"We need to stop all injection treatments. There are many small tumors on the right side of his brain, which have caused his right eye to completely lose sight. It should be that he had a headache a few days ago, but he was worried that he could not go to Singapore, so he endured the pain and dared not tell anyone." Scott answered.

　　"As his friends, you'd better persuade him to give up. His brain has been affected. He only has a month to live. If he continues to be so stubborn, he will suffer." Doctor Jiang said.

　　"Scott, Lao Jiang, you two should tell him about his condition. Don't let him know that Michelle and I know about his condition. And Michelle has just recovered her memory." Jiale answered.

　　"I will arrange the wedding to be held in Singapore next week. It will be held earlier." Jiale said.

　　"You go out first. Scott and I will check on his brain condition." Doctor Jiang answered.

　　In Chengdong's ward. Ten o'clock in the morning.

　　"I helped Chengdong remove some very small tumors. He won't wake up so soon. You don't need to stay in the ward. Come back tomorrow. Or I'll call you as soon as he wakes up." Doctor Jiang said.

　　"Xuefen, let's go prepare the wedding things and come back tomorrow." Jiale answered.

"Okay. Doctor Jiang, Doctor Scott, please take good care of Chengdong. He must be in pain now." Xuefen said sadly.

Jia Le pulled Xuefen to the parking lot.

In the hospital parking lot. 11 o'clock in the morning.

"You pulled my hand and it hurt! Why are you angry!? We are getting married! What are you arguing about with Chengdong?!" Xuefen asked angrily.

"Now that you remember, do you still want to marry me? I know you like Chengdong, not me." Jia Le answered sadly.

"I... I like both of them. But I owe Chengdong too much." Xuefen cried.

Jia Le hugged Hug Xuefen...

"Don't worry, we will get through this together. I hope Chengdong can survive until our wedding day. But I am worried about one thing. He is not suitable for flying now. Especially his tumor is in his brain. Doctor Jiang helped him remove one of the tumors and cut off the nerves in his hand. I am afraid that he will not be able to use his left hand anymore ." Jiale replied.

"What!? If I had known, I would have let him die. I can't bear to watch him suffer." Xuefen cried.

"What I am most worried about now is that he is flying. He still has a small tumor in his brain. When the plane lands and takes off, He will be very tired. He may even bleed." Jiale answered.

Afterwards, Jiale and Xuefen went to the wedding dress shop together.

In the wedding dress shop. 11:30 in the morning.

"Do you want to have lunch first?" Jiale asked.

"No. Let's go choose a wedding dress first. I don't have an appetite." Xuefen answered.

"Don't think too much. Take wedding photos happily." Jiale said and kissed Xuefen's face.

They took many photos.

"Mr. Gu, don't worry, we will help you develop the photos quickly. You should receive the photos and wedding photos within this week." The boss said.

"Thank you, boss." Jiale answered.

Mid-Levels Private Hospital - Chengdong's ward.

7:30 the next morning.

Chengdong woke up. The nurse notified Dr. Jiang and Dr. Scott.

Chengdong was thirsty and wanted to use his left hand to get a glass of water, but his left hand didn't respond at all. Fortunately, Chengdong noticed it and immediately used his right hand to grab the quilt. But his hands were shaking so badly that the water spilled on the bed. Scott and Dr. Jiang went into the ward and saw everything.

Chengdong looked at them helplessly...

"My...my left hand, is...is...is it gone?" Chengdong asked, holding back his tears.

Scott patted Chengdong's shoulder...

　　"Chengdong, listen to us calmly. You have many tumors in your brain. We have tried to remove as many as possible. One of the tumors we removed cut off the nerves in your left hand. And... moreover, we must stop your injection treatment. Because it is no longer effective. So, you have two choices. One, after the wedding, you can move to a nursing home, and two, sign a death consent form." Doctor Jiang answered.

　　Chengdong grabbed the quilt and cried.

He cried non-stop, and his nose was wet.

"No... don't let Jiale and Michelle know about my illness. I... I will sign the consent form after I return from Singapore." Chengdong panted.

　　"Why not sign it now?" Doctor Jiang asked.

　　"I need to think about it." Chengdong answered.

　　In fact, he wanted to end his life in his heart.

　　"Chengdong, the day after tomorrow, Saturday, we will fly to Singapore. You need to know that it will be very painful for you to get on and off the plane. Jiale has bought three business seats. They can accompany you and take care of you." Scott said.

　　"I am such a waste, there is no point in living." Chengdong whispered.

　　"What did you say?" Dr. Jiang asked.

　　Chengdong shook his head.

　　Six o'clock on Saturday morning.

　　In the parking lot of Mid-Levels Private Hospital.

　　Jia Le pushed Chengdong to the car.

　　"I'll help you get in the car." Xue Fen said.

　　"No need. I can do it myself." Chengdong replied.

　　Jia Le took the wheelchair and went to the back of the car.

　　Scott drove them to the airport.

　　In the car, Chengdong didn't say a word. He was wearing a sweater and a hat. Xue Fen sat next to him.....

　　"Chengdong, let me help you put on lip balm. Your lips are very white and cracked and bleeding." Xue Fen said.

　　"Xue Fen, use this. His condition is more serious and he can't use ordinary lip balm." Jia Le replied.

　　"Thank you." Chengdong said.

　　In the airport. 7 o'clock in the morning.

　　"Jia Le, can I not sit in the wheelchair? I'm afraid people will recognize me." Chengdong asked .

　　"No. You are too weak. You will be exhausted in a short time." Jiale answered.

　　Chengdong remained silent and did not answer.

　　On the plane - business class. 8:30 in the morning.

　　Chengdong was helped to his seat by the steward. His hands were shaking.

　　"Chengdong, relax. If you feel uncomfortable when the plane takes off, tell us immediately. Don't be stubborn." Jiale said.

　　Chengdong did not answer, but held the chair in fear.

　　When the plane took off, the air pressure made his head hurt so much. He pretended to sleep. Jiale saw his expression…..

　　"Chengdong, I'll give you a morphine injection and let you take two sleeping pills first." Jiale said.

　　Chengdong took the cup, and his right hand was shaking very badly.

　　"Are you okay?!" Xuefen asked worriedly.

　　"Very...very cold. I...I'm very cold." Chengdong answered with difficulty.

　　Xuefen took the Jack and fished Chengdong's body up. Soon after, Chengdong fell asleep.

　　Two hours later, Chengdong finished eating and felt a sharp pain in his stomach.

　　"I...I want to go to the toilet." Chengdong whispered said.

　　"Come, stand up. I'll help you to the toilet." Jiale answered.

　　"No... no need. I'll walk slowly." Chengdong answered.

　　Chengdong walked slowly to the toilet. In fact, his strength was getting worse and worse.

　　"Miss, where is the toilet?" Chengdong asked.

　　"In front of you? Can't you see it!?" the stewardess asked back.

　　"I... I can't see with one eye." Chengdong answered.

　　The stewardess helped him in.

　　"Once you're done, let me know so I can help you back to your seat." said the stewardess.

　　In the toilet.

Chengdong had such a bad stomachache that he vomited blood clots. He hid in the toilet for a long time. Jiale found that Chengdong had not come back for almost half an hour, and the plane was about to land. Jiale walked to the toilet and saw several people wandering outside the toilet...

"What's the matter? Why hasn't he come out for so long?" a passenger asked angrily.

Just then a stewardess came over...

"Why hasn't that gentleman come out yet?!" the stewardess asked anxiously.

The stewardess immediately took the key to open the toilet door. People nearby were surprised. Chengdong fell beside the washbasin, his clothes were covered with blood, and he fainted. Jiale helped him to his seat...

"Dong! Chengdong! Stewardess, how long will it take us to arrive in Singapore!?" Jiale asked anxiously.

"15 minutes more. Mr. Gu, we help him to the sickbed." The flight attendant replied.

　　As soon as they arrived in Singapore, the paramedics rushed into the cabin and carried Chengdong into the ambulance.

　　In the cabin. 11:30 in the morning.

　　"Oh, isn't that the famous radio anchor Song Chengdong? How could he be so sick!? It seems that he has some serious disease!?" Some flight attendants and passengers asked themselves.

　　"Have you said enough! Yes! He is Song Chengdong! He is a terminal cancer patient!" Jiale answered angrily.

　　It happened that a reporter in the cabin secretly took a photo of Chengdong fainting. He also secretly recorded their conversation. The reporter happened to be a part-time DJ of the radio station.

　　In the TV station (93.5 radio station office) at two o'clock in the afternoon.

　　Johnny went back to the TV station. Brother Bao and Charles were in the office.

"Hey! Hey! We have snacks from Hong Kong and Macau for you! And there is a big news to be revealed! I will send it to the magazine tonight. It must be big news!" Johnny said loudly.

"What big news is it!" Brother Bao asked anxiously.

"I'll keep it a secret for now. He used to be your old colleague. He is my idol. You will know it as soon as the newspapers and magazines are published tomorrow. I will rush to give them the information now." Johnny said happily.

After Johnny left, Brother Bao felt something was wrong.

"Boss, I feel something is wrong. This Johnny is ruthless when he makes things. Old colleague, his idol, could it be Chengdong!? But Chengdong has retired from this industry. The last big news was that he and his wife got married in Hong Kong, which happened two years ago." Brother Bao said.

"Let's go find Johnny right away! If it's negative news, it will be a big trouble!" Charles answered.

Singapore General Hospital - Chengdong Ward. 6pm.

Chengdong had just woken up. Xuefen fell asleep beside him in the bed. Chengdong stroked Xuefen's hands and hair, recalling what he and Jiale talked about in October.

One week after Jiale and Michelle returned to Hong Kong.

Chengdong's home - Discovery Bay Villa. 9pm.

Jiale rang the doorbell. Chengdong opened the door....

"Come in and sit down." Chengdong said.

"Why are there so many boxes?" Jiale asked.

"This villa will be handed over to the new owner next month." Chengdong said sadly.

"Chengdong, there is...something I want to tell you. Michelle and I are together." Jiale replied guiltily.

"I...I know. And... And Michelle doesn't recognize me at all. Jiale, while she can't remember, you should get married quickly. Anyway, I don't have much time left. I hope you can go to Singapore for the wedding. After all, Michelle's family is there." Chengdong said sadly.

　　"Chengdong, don't you blame me? After all, I took advantage of the opportunity and snatched your wife. You should hate me." Jiale replied.

　　"In fact, I should thank you too. I am really very sad. But now I am like this, it seems that no woman will like me." Chengdong said with a smile.

　　November 8, 2008. Singapore.

General Hospital - Chengdong ward. 7pm.

Jia Le opened the door and came in.

"Are you awake?" Jia Le asked.

"Don't wake up Michelle. Jia Le, I... Can I ask you for one thing? I want to be with Michelle today and tomorrow, okay? Anyway, you have three more days to hold your wedding. The day after tomorrow I will ask Michelle to go back to the hotel to find you." Chengdong answered.

"Chengdong, what do you want to do again!? In your current condition, you can't be alone with Michelle!" Jia Le asked anxiously and angrily.

Chengdong got out of bed and knelt on the ground...

"Jia Le, for the sake of our good brotherhood, I beg you, this is my last request." Chengdong answered weakly with tears.

At this time, Xue Fen got up and supported Chengdong...

"Jia Le, this may be his last wish. Let him be." Xuefen said.

　　"Okay then. Xuefen, you can stay in Chengdong's old apartment for the next two days." Jiale replied.

　　"I... I want to be discharged from the hospital. I don't want to waste time." Chengdong said.

　　"Xuefen, you accompany Chengdong home. You can take a taxi back." Jiale replied.

　　At the taxi stand. 7:30 pm.

　　"Let's visit your family first before going to dinner." Chengdong said.

　　"Chengdong, you?!" Xuefen asked in surprise.

　　"Don't be surprised. I want to apologize to them and see them for the last time. Because if I go back to Hong Kong, I won't be able to come back to this beautiful city of Singapore." Chengdong replied in a low voice.

　　Chen's mansion-living room. 7:50 pm.

　　"Mom and Dad, Chengdong and I are back." Xuefen said loudly.

　　Mr. and Mrs. Chen and Mi Qiang and his wife looked at them was surprised.

　　"Why did you come back together!? Where's Jiale?" Mr. Chen asked in surprise.

　　"Dad, continue eating. Don't ask so many questions. Wang Sao, help Miss to eat, and Mr. Song just needs a bowl of soup. He can't eat too much." Mi Qiang answered.

　　"Okay." Wang Sao said.

　　"Husband, does Chengdong know that newspapers and magazines are publishing his scandal?" Jialing asked in a low voice.

　　"Don't ask so many questions, eat." Mi Qiang answered.

　　Chengdong accidentally heard what Jialing said. He felt very uncomfortable.

　　"I really miss the food at home!" Xuefen said happily.

　　"Chengdong, don't just drink soup, eat some vegetables too." Mrs. Chen answered.

　　"Mom, he only has half a stomach, he can't eat anything casually." Mi Qiang said.

　　The atmosphere became quiet on the spot.

　　"It's okay, I can still eat a little. Anyway, I don't have much time left, and it's rare to come to Uncle Chen and Aunt Chen's house to eat again." Chengdong answered with a forced smile.

After dinner, they chatted in the living room. Suddenly Chengdong knelt on the ground. Mi Qiang and Xuefen wanted to pull him up...

"Chengdong! What are you doing!? Come up!" Mi Qiang asked loudly.

"Yes... I'm sorry, I made your daughter so sad! Yes... I can't do anything I promised her. I'm not a responsible husband. She should divorce me." Chengdong answered crying.

Mr. Chen and Mrs. Chen helped him up...

"Silly boy, don't say that. We also know how much you love our daughter." Mr. Chen said.

Chengdong hugged them and cried.

"You drive one of the cars home." Mr. Chen said.

In the BMW X3 8:30 pm.

"This is my old car." Chengdong said.

"Yes, I still use it. You drive slowly home. Be careful on the way." Mi Qiang replied.

Xuefen drove away.

"It's still early, can we go to the Keppel Club? Just take a walk. I'm not as rich as before." Chengdong asked.

"Okay." Xuefen replied.

At the Keppel Club. 8:45 pm.

Xuefen stopped the car.

"Come, let me help you, or do you want to sit in a wheelchair?" Xuefen asked.

"I feel comfortable in a wheelchair." Chengdong replied.

Xuefen prepared the wheelchair and held Chengdong got on the wheelchair. She pushed Chengdong to the dock.

　　"Have you... have you recovered your memory?" Chengdong asked.

　　Xuefen couldn't help shedding tears...

　　"I had recovered my memory the day you fainted in the orphanage." Xuefen cried and answered.

　　"Did you not tell me because you felt guilty!? I am also your ex-husband! Or do you still resent my thought of dying with you!? I... I am so stupid! I thought you... you loved me very much! It turns out that I was just wishful thinking all along!" Chengdong cried and asked excitedly.

　　Xuefen hugged Chengdong tightly...

　　"No! It's not like that! I love you the most and I give you the most. It's you who can't bear it!" Xuefen answered crying.

Chengdong let go of Xuefen's hand...

"I don't want to be in a wheelchair! You are the one who can't bear to leave me. Don't lie. You even changed your name! I had high hopes for you, hoping that you would change your mind. But you even changed your name. I heard that Jiale gave you the name Xuefen!" Chengdong cried excitedly.

Chengdong sat on a chair at the dock. Xuefen saw that he was crying until his eyes were bleeding.

"Chengdong, don't cry, your eyes are bleeding. Let's go home and take medicine." Xuefen said.

"Let go of your hand! When I was 17, I really regretted meeting you and falling in love with you. So deep! The feelings of the past ten years are all fake! Your Mr. Right is not me at all! When I was 20 years old, I saw Jiale and his ex-fiancée, Xue, together, and I realized it. But I just don't believe it. I'm so stupid!" Chengdong answered sadly.

　　At this time, Chengdong's cell phone rang...

　　"Hello, Brother Bao. Why... why did you suddenly look for me?" Chengdong asked in a low voice.

　　"Adong, are you okay? Did you read the news, newspapers or magazines?" Brother Bao asked.

　　"No, Michelle and I were taking a walk near my home." Chengdong answered.

　　"Then... then your divorce with Michelle is fake!? This Johnny is really messing around!? By the way, are you free tomorrow at noon? We want to visit you at your apartment. We will buy lunch." Brother Bao asked.

"Okay. See you tomorrow." Chengdong replied.

　　After Chengdong put down his phone, he almost fainted. Xuefen immediately helped him to the wheelchair.

　　"Michelle, can...can I ask you for a favor? Be my wife for the last time tomorrow. Please." Chengdong said sadly and weakly.

　　"Okay, I'll sleep at your house tonight. I won't be back to the hotel until tomorrow night." Xuefen replied.

　　-End-
