Chapter 932: Chapter 932: Miscarriage 5

The old Master Gu could be said to be a significant figure in the capital, and although his funeral wasn’t grand on a massive scale, the number of people who came to accompany him on his last journey in this world was almost too many to count.

On the day of old Master Gu’s burial, He Zhilan still mustered her strength to go. Watching Master Gu’s coffin gradually being covered by the yellow earth, with what seemed like countless genuine cries around her ears, her heart was already aching to numbness.

The weather, which was already gloomy, suddenly began to drizzle. In such a season, rain was truly rare.

He Teng quickly took off his military coat, draped it tightly over He Zhilan, and covered her thoroughly. His hands also shielded her head, protecting her in his embrace, using all his capability to shield her from the baptism of the rain.

The two stood far away from Master Gu’s gravesite, hiding under a tree, secretly watching everything that was happening over there. They seemed like outsiders to this funeral, yet the sense of reluctance harbored by He Zhilan, an outsider, was no less than that of the insiders.

"Zhilan, let’s go back, the rain is getting heavier." Seeing that Master Gu’s coffin was completely buried, He Teng gently asked the He Zhilan in his arms, who was only quietly shedding tears with no sign of movement, his heartache beyond words.

He Zhilan gently nodded her head, her whole body weakly leaning on He Teng, allowing him to pick her up and step by step, leave this piece of heaven and earth.

At this moment, the most sorrowful farewell was nothing more than the separation by life and death.

She was here, while the person she wanted to bid farewell had gone to a faraway world, no longer able to see or hear her talk.

He Zhilan did not know whether the departed truly had spirits in heaven.

If they did, she only hoped that her child and grandfather could have a smooth journey, support each other, and take care of one another in the cold place, accompany each other.

Her child would not walk alone, because he had the company of his grandfather.

However, she felt sorry for her child, as she couldn’t even provide such a funeral, because she didn’t even know what her child looked like.

Her darling quietly came into this world and just as quietly left.

After returning from old Master Gu’s funeral, He Zhilan developed a high fever, which He Teng had already anticipated.

He Zhilan’s constitution was not particularly strong to begin with. She had been seriously ill in S Province and had not recovered for long, and now she had lost her child, enduring both physical and mental torment.

Many times, the pain not spoken of did not mean it did not exist, as with He Zhilan, and also with He Teng.

After the fever subsided, He Zhilan wanted to leave the hospital and work, but no one around her agreed.

"Postpone your work for a month, what matter is more important than your health? Bian Muhe said that if you are injured, you need to rest properly. Just like you need confinement after childbirth, you also need a month of recovery before you can work." Even though he knew He Zhilan’s work was important, He Teng, who couldn’t be of help in her work, wouldn’t let her divert her attention in this way.

"Sister-in-law, the army can’t give my brother a month off, so why don’t you stay in the capital and live with me, or, go to the Lin Family, and stay with Lin Chan. That way, we can all take care of you," said He Dongxue. "Uncle Lin and Aunt Lin also said you can go to their place. Aunt Lin is not busy with work recently and said she can stay at home with you, so you don’t have to worry about being bored on your own."
