Chapter 686: Chapter 684 Can you help enlighten him?_1

Xia Ningxing’s eyes were rimmed with red as she touched her head, "Wait until tomorrow morning, we’ll return to Star Shine, and then I’ll arrange for you to stay at Lu Hospital."

"Thank you, Ningxing, I’m really grateful to you," Jiang Miaomiao thanked her profusely, filled with guilt.

She had done nothing for her, but she had been considering her with all her heart.

"But you also have to promise me, don’t overwork yourself, and don’t push too hard. Just let things take their course," Jiang Miaomiao advised.

"I know," Xia Ningxing’s nose tingled, and she took a deep breath to hold back the tears that could burst forth at any moment, pulling the quilt over her, "Be good, sleep well tonight, so you can build up your resistance, okay?"

"I’ll listen to Ningxing," she nodded like a child.

Xia Ningxing then turned to the others, "Let’s all go out and let Miaomiao have a good rest tonight."

After everyone had left, only Jiang Miaomiao and Jiang Bai were left in the bedroom.

Seeing that Jiang Miaomiao was still blinking, Jiang Bai hurriedly sat by her side, holding her hand and said, "Miaomiao, go to sleep quickly. Didn’t Miss Xia just tell you to have a good rest, to build up your resistance?"

"But I want to look at you," Jiang Miaomiao’s gaze clung to him, covetously staring at his face as if wanting to etch his image deep into her heart.

Jiang Bai’s heart ached, his fingers stroking her face gently as he whispered in her ear, "Then look for five more minutes. After five minutes, you must sleep, okay?"

"I know!"

Jiang Miaomiao nodded in agreement.

Five minutes later, she obediently closed her eyes.

Realizing he seemed still to be watching her, Jiang Miaomiao couldn’t help but say, "Bai, you should sleep too."

"You sleep first, I’ll go to sleep soon," Jiang Bai said.

"Okay..."

However, until Jiang Miaomiao was fully asleep, Jiang Bai never closed his eyes.

He just kept looking at her, watching her breathing gradually even out, watching her transition from light to deep sleep, watching her turn over fifty times, grind her teeth for half an hour, and whether or not she pursed her lips...

She was so vivid and adorable.

But who could imagine that such a young girl had already so little time left...

Possibly several months at most, or perhaps just a month or more.

At this thought, Jiang Bai’s face instantly became immensely sorrowful, like a withered leaf frozen in the ice of a bleak winter river.

Suddenly, he lowered his lips to her smooth forehead, kissing her and making a decision.

"Miaomiao, if you can’t go on, I will definitely stay by your side. I won’t let you walk alone," he said softly.

...

The next morning, Xia Ningxing and the others joined forces to carry Jiang Miaomiao onto the helicopter, starting their journey back to Star Shine.

Everyone on the plane was unusually quiet, so silent that the sound of a needle dropping could be distinctly heard.

Even Chuanchuan, who was usually noisy, was exceptionally well-behaved, nestled in his grandmother Mrs. Xia’s arms, blinking worriedly as he looked at the pale-faced Jiang Miaomiao lying on the bed, his face full of sadness.

Feeling the little one’s gaze, Jiang Miaomiao squeezed out a smile as best as she could, her voice gentle, "Chuanchuan, don’t be scared. Auntie is going to be fine, it’s just a cold and fever. Once we get back and have some saline, I’ll be better."

"Liar!" Chuanchuan, with eyes red, straightforwardly pierced through her lie.

Although young, his intelligence was high, and he had already inferred her health condition from the behavior of the adults.

"Hah..." Jiang Miaomiao couldn’t help but let out a surprised laugh, looking towards Xia Ningxing with a heavy face, she cheerfully said to her, "Ningxing, how is your son so smart!"

"Yeah, how is he so smart." Xia Ningxing showed her a smile more wretched than crying.

"Sigh." Seeing that, Jiang Miaomiao couldn’t help but sigh, frowning and rolling her eyes helplessly as she stared at the grief-stricken faces around her, "You all with your mournful faces, it really affects the patient’s mood, you know?"

"Come on, everyone act normal!" She suddenly bristled, yelling at everyone like a small cat baring its fangs, her tears falling fiercely.

"So what if I’m dying, is the earth going to explode? Am I your center? None of you are allowed to be sad, don’t be sad anymore, otherwise, I tell you, even in death I won’t rest in peace!"

Perhaps she spoke too hastily, Jiang Miaomiao coughed again.

"Miaomiao!" Jiang Bai hurriedly patted her back and said, "We all promise you, we will act more normally!"

"Right, we can’t be so sad, it will affect Miaomiao’s mood which would only make her condition more serious. Even if we can’t be happy, at least don’t look so gloomy, everyone act normal." Xia Ningxing took a deep breath, adjusting herself while instructing others.

Everyone nodded, trying to smile as much as possible.

After returning to the country, Xia Ningxing spent her days at the Ning Family’s home, studying prescriptions.

But it was no use, none of them could cure Jiang Miaomiao.

She became weaker and weaker, and when Xia Ningxing saw her a few days ago, she looked as thin as a dandelion seed, as if the wind could blow her away.

Jiang Bai grabbed her and pressed for information on the medicines.

Xia Ningxing parted her lips but could not utter a single word.

Medicine?

She also wanted medicine!

"Bai, are you annoying or what, every time Ningxing comes over you repeat the same script, my ears are almost calloused. Go away, I want to have a private chat with Ningxing." Jiang Miaomiao spoke up, giving Xia Ningxing a chance to escape the awkward situation.

After Jiang Bai left, Xia Ningxing held her hand, with an aching throat, she squeezed out the words, "I’m sorry Miaomiao, I..." Another failure.

"Ningxing, it’s okay." Not waiting for her to finish, Jiang Miaomiao smiled sincerely at her, "I know you’ve done all you could."

Xia Ningxing dropped her face, sighed.

Age, illness, death, they truly are the most helpless and painful things in this world.

Supporting her chin, Jiang Miaomiao sought a topic, "Ningxing, now I only worry about Jiang Bai. My father created him to accompany me, if I die, I’m sure he will destroy himself."

She voiced her troubles with concern.

Even though she hadn’t heard him say it with her own ears, she knew it deep down.

He would do that.

He would certainly do that.

"Ningxing, could I ask you to persuade him?" Jiang Miaomiao held her hand, her face showing a plea.

"Miaomiao, do you think I can persuade him?" Xia Ningxing asked with a wry smile in return.

She didn’t believe she had the ability to convince a stubborn robot like Jiang Bai.

"Moreover, even if I can stop him once, can I stop him for a lifetime?"

If he wanted to die, he would surely find countless ways to kill himself. She couldn’t always have two bodyguards watch over him constantly, besides, even if she could find them, would Jiang Bai allowed himself to be watched all the time?
