Chapter 495: Chapter 495: The Child is Named Little Radish (5)_1

Lu Hai and Lu Hao exchanged a glance, as she hurriedly followed Pei Qin after instructing him to watch the house.

Zhang Gengshan wiped away his tears and hurriedly drove the carriage away at a gallop.

Sun Xiujin watched the carriage disappear into the distance, his complexion exceedingly ghastly.

On the way, Pei Qin demanded of Zhang Gengshan, "Wasn’t everything fine the day before yesterday?"

"Our young master fell ill a few days ago, he can’t use his martial arts..." Zhang Gengshan replied, choking up.

Pei Qin thought of Mo Heng’s seemingly strong martial arts, "What illness does he have? Why can’t he use martial arts?"

"Our young master was framed, betrayed by those closest and dearest to him one after another. When we left the Mo family, our young master was barely breathing, almost dead! It’s only after three years of recuperating that he got a bit better. The doctor said even if our young master recovers, he doesn’t have many years left. Feng Wei didn’t dare to tell the young master! A few days ago, when he saved you and used his martial arts, he had an attack, and last night... he became critical..." Zhang Gengshan explained through tears.

A chill spread through Pei Qin’s heart, "Drive faster!"

Zhang Gengshan didn’t dare to go too fast, as she was pregnant. If the carriage jolted too much...

"Faster!" Pei Qin urged angrily.

Lu Hai, seeing her pallor change and her whole being fraught with worry, took her wrist and squeezed it.

The road from Taiping Town to the county seat was easy to travel, and the carriage moved swiftly. They soon arrived at the county seat, stopping outside a small courtyard.

Pei Qin got out of the carriage and quickly entered the house.

Feng Wei was just bringing in a bowl of medicine.

Mo Heng lay on the bed with his eyes closed, his complexion pale and bloodless, his lips white and cracked. If not for the slight rise and fall of his chest, he would seem breathless.

Pei Qin slowed her steps, looking at him and taking a deep breath before she approached the bed, "Mo Heng? Mo Heng?"

Mo Heng weakly opened his eyes, "I dreamt again you came to see me."

Pei Qin choked up, "No! I really did come to see you!"

Mo Heng shook his head, disbelieving, "You don’t want me. In reality, you wouldn’t come to see me."

"I’ll pinch myself, it hurts!" Pei Qin twisted her own hand fiercely.

Mo Heng still shook his head, "During New Year’s, you were drunk and kissed me on the rooftop, then you slapped me, and when I lied that it didn’t hurt, you said it was a dream."

Pei Qin froze, "During New Year’s..." She... had behaved inappropriately towards Mo Heng then?

Mo Heng closed his eyes, breathing laboriously, his complexion growing even paler.

Pei Qin grabbed his hand and twisted it as well.

Mo Heng abruptly opened his eyes, looking at her, "It hurts." Seeing it was indeed her, he struggled to sit up.

Pei Qin held him down, but he was insistent, so she had to prop him up with a large pillow at his back.

"I can’t marry you now." Mo Heng held her hand tightly, his pale face filled with regret, "I may not last much longer. I was supposed to have died that time."

"Your eyes are cured now, it’s just a small illness, what’s there to fear!" Pei Qin’s grip tightened slightly.

Mo Heng looked at her with longing, "I was supposed to... marry you, to support you and the child, but now..."

Pei Qin looked at him without speaking.

"If we could do it all over again, would you... want me?" Mo Heng looked at her tentatively, asking.

"Do you want to hear the truth?" Pei Qin asked, looking at him.

Mo Heng gasped for breath, hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"I wouldn’t dare." Pei Qin said with a bitter smile, self-mockingly, "Things that are too beautiful are not to be desecrated, but only admired from afar." Was she really... proven right by Lu Hai?

Mo Heng steadied himself, "And now?" Fearing she might misunderstand, he quickly added, "I... just want to hear an answer."
