Chapter 571: Chapter 569: Remorse Before Death_1

Pei Mojing drove away from the Mu Family’s mansion, a smile tugging at the corners of his mouth involuntarily.

Although Mu Zixuan hadn’t accepted him, she had returned from abroad, and he had plenty of time to pursue her anew. Moreover, he could feel that she still loved him...

The car headed towards the hospital, where he was going to visit his father.

When Pei Mojing stepped into the ward, Pei Yucheng surprisingly wasn’t unconscious. He lay on the hospital bed with his eyes open, seemingly lost in thought.

Upon hearing someone enter, he turned his head weakly to see who it was, and when he saw that it was Pei Mojing, a spark of light suddenly burst forth from the depths of his dim, gray eyes.

"Xiaojing..." his voice was husky.

Pei Mojing’s heart tightened as he looked at the withered figure on the bed, and a wave of sentimentality enveloped him.

Throughout his childhood and youth, when had he seen his father so haggard and worn? In his memory, his father was always neatly dressed and vibrant.

He couldn’t help but wonder, was this old, emaciated man lying on the hospital bed really his father?

Yet it was he who caused his mother to leave this world so early...

He walked silently to the bedside--

Pei Yucheng’s eyes suddenly reflected an immeasurable sense of guilt. "Xiaojing... Dad is sorry..."

Pei Mojing’s pupils shrank suddenly; now, it was too late for such words...

"The biggest mistake I’ve made in my life is... it’s..." As he spoke, he became too emotional and started gasping for breath rapidly.

Pei Mojing swiftly moved forward, half-lifting his father to help him adjust to a comfortable position on the bed...

Pei Yucheng caught his breath, and his eyes suddenly shone with intense remorse.

"The biggest mistake I made was bringing Qiao Xueren into the family..." As he uttered these words, it seemed as if he had used up all his strength.

Pei Mojing’s gaze dropped; often, it’s not until the end that people realize what they did right and what they did wrong.

"If you hadn’t betrayed mother, she wouldn’t have left us so soon, and maybe you wouldn’t be in this state now..." Pei Mojing spoke indifferently; he couldn’t bring himself to hate a dying man who wouldn’t live more than four months, especially since that man was his father, who, at least until he was seventeen, had been a competent, a great father.

Upon hearing Pei Mojing’s words, Pei Yucheng’s eyes filled with remorse; he regretted...

His mind involuntarily recalled the past he had with Pei Mojing’s mother.

He and Nolan had fallen in love freely, meeting by chance at a beautiful tourist spot while he was studying abroad.

One was Chinese, and the other was of Chinese and English descent. It was a match of talent and beauty, and without any suspense, they embarked on a beautiful romantic love.

Their relationship was actually very strong, truly wonderful. After three years of dating, she finally, against her parents’ wishes, insisted on marrying him.

They had their wedding in England, and after the ceremony, she followed him back to China.

For the first ten years, they lived happily together. She was talented and capable, helping him turn a medium-sized state-owned enterprise into the leading media conglomerate in the entertainment industry.

That was the height of his glory days, with a career, a wife, and children. But two years later, it was discovered that she had an incurable disease. Though it couldn’t be cured, it was detected early and the condition was kept under control, posing no immediate threat to her life.

However, due to her physical condition, she became increasingly gloomy. Over time, for some inexplicable reason, their relationship began to deteriorate. And like that, four more years passed...

One day, he lost control of himself, and, well... he did the unthinkable with a friend who frequently visited her at home... That person was Qiao Xueren, who had recently divorced at the time...

Thinking of this, he raised his hand and covered his eyes in anguish and regret...

"Xiaojing... I was wrong... I truly was wrong..."

Pei Mojing, looking at his expression of pain, felt a sense of helplessness, "What good is it to know you were wrong now, mom is already gone..."

Pei Mojing said this lightly, not really intending to use it to sting him...

But unexpectedly—

As soon as he finished speaking, the expression on Pei Yucheng’s face, who lay in bed, suddenly became even more pained. At the same time, he raised both hands to clutch his stomach tightly, his body convulsing involuntarily!

Pei Mojing was shocked!

A cry of "Dad" escaped his lips without forethought, but Pei Yucheng was too much in pain to notice his alarm.

Pei Mojing immediately pressed the alarm bell beside the bed, and at the same time, he shouted out loud toward the door of the hospital room...

This was the VIP suite, and the doctors and nurses paid extra attention to the patients here. Hearing Pei Mojing’s panicked voice, they swiftly poured in through the door...

Pei Mojing was terrified, he had seen this scenario long ago... It was just like before his mother’s death, surrounded by doctors trying to resuscitate her!

But in the end, they couldn’t save his mother...

"The patient is in a critical condition, we must conduct emergency treatment immediately, quick! Bring the equipment!" the attending physician said with unprecedented seriousness.

Pei Mojing’s heart sank—

He stood frozen in place, watching the doctors gather around the bed and begin their frantic efforts to save him, without even moving him to the emergency room...

He looked intently at the person on the bed who went from struggling in agony to a peaceful expression, at the moment he looked at him with eyes of release and silently said "I was wrong," his eyes instantly filled with tears...

We had agreed there were still four months left...

Why...

Why did you leave me like this...

"Mr. Pei, we have done our best..." When the doctor said this to him, he suddenly grabbed the doctor’s collar with reddened eyes and roared: "Didn’t you say there were four months left? Why has this happened! Why did he leave me just like this in less than four days! Why!!"

The doctor was clearly accustomed to such situations, still calmly trying to console him: "Mr. Pei, please restrain your grief... Mr. Pei’s condition was extremely unstable from the beginning..." The doctor tried to continue, but suddenly noticed Pei Mojing staring at him with reddened eyes, sighed deeply, "Please accept my condolences..."

Pei Mojing let go of the doctor’s collar all of a sudden, feeling powerless, and turned in a daze to look at the person on the hospital bed who had closed his eyes for the last time.

The remorse before death might also be a form of release...

Watching the stunned person standing by the bed, the physician stepped out of the room and immediately said to the medical staff nearby: "Inform Mr. Mu of this news..."

"Okay..." The medical staff nodded.

During Mu Zisu’s last visit to the hospital, he had specifically instructed the doctor to contact him if anything urgent happened to Pei Mojing’s father.

When Mu Zisu received the message and hurried to the hospital room with Mu Zixuan, they abruptly stopped at the doorway...
