Revenge of the Wife

Chapter 286

Li Liangsheng lay on the bed, his eyes tightly shut.

His complexion was waxen, his cheeks sunken, and his brows furrowed in apparent agony.

Li Man's nose tingled, and a layer of sad mist welled up in her eyes. She approached, softly calling out, "Dad!"

Li Liangsheng's eyelids twitched, then slowly opened his eyes, his voice weak as he spoke, "Manman, you're back?"

Li Man sat down by the edge of the bed, gently gripping her father's emaciated hand. Tears uncontrollably rolled down her cheeks as she choked, "Dad, I'm back. Please don't leave, okay?"

Li Man lowered herself, pressing her cheek against her father's hand, unable to hold back her sobbing.

"Silly child, why are you crying? Everyone has to die."

Li Man shook her head, "No, I don't want you to die, please..."

"I'm leaving. You must take good care of your mother..."

Li Man nodded hastily, "Dad, don't worry, I will take good care of Mom."

"You must also take good care of yourself and not overwork."

"I will, Dad."

"Your father has prepared a dowry for you, but he never had the chance to give it to you. He cannot see you wearing a wedding dress, and it's his biggest regret in this lifetime."

Tears streamed uncontrollably down Li Man's face as she cried, unable to control herself. "Dad, wait for me. I'll go put on a wedding dress for you right now, okay?"

Saying that, Li Man was about to get up.

"No need." Li Liangsheng held onto Li Man's hand and said, "Dad might not be able to wait that long. Sit down and talk with Dad for a while."

Li Man quickly sat back down, "Dad, is there anything you want to eat? I'll ask Mom to get it."

"No need, Dad can't eat anymore."

Li Man's heart ached, and tears gushed out, falling onto Li Liangsheng's hand.

"Stop crying, Manman. You should be happy in the future."

Li Man nodded, "I will, Dad."

After chatting with Li Man for a while, Li Liangsheng said, "Go call your mother in. I have something to say to her."

"Okay!"

Li Man stood up and went out to let her mother in.

At this moment, Li Man's phone rang. It was Huo Jian Sheng calling.

"Li Man, send me your address quickly. I'm almost there."

"Okay!"

Li Man didn't expect Huo Jian Sheng to act so quickly and immediately sent him a location.

Half an hour later, Huo Jian Sheng arrived.

He came with Xinyu.

"Fortunately, we made it in time," Huo Jian Sheng said.

Huang Duo Duo noticed Xinyu and a trace of animosity flashed in her eyes.

Xinyu also noticed Huang Duo Duo and nodded at her.

"Xinyu, would you like to go in and see Grandpa with me later?" Li Man held Xinyu's hand and asked for her opinion.

"Okay!" Xinyu replied crisply.

"Mom, I also want to go in and see Grandpa." Huang Duo Duo didn't want to be left out and pleaded.

Li Man hesitated for a moment and said, "Let's all go in together."

By now, Li Liangsheng was already semi-conscious, and Zhang Yan had already helped him change into burial clothes.

Pushing open the door, Xinyu called out, "Grandpa, I've come to see you."

Li Liangsheng slowly opened his eyes with difficulty, tugged at the corners of his mouth, and then closed them slowly.

His hand also dropped down.

"Dad..."

Li Man's tears fell as she rushed forward, crying heartbreakingly.

Zhang Yan, in anguish, covered her mouth and sobbed.

Li Liangsheng was gone.

Overwhelmed by grief, Zhang Yan fainted.

Luckily, Huo Jian Sheng was there, otherwise Li Man wouldn't have known what to do.
