Chapter 10: The Second Ending 02
Two dead and one injured.
The ones who died were my mother and that woman, I don't know if she was innocent or not. I've seen a lot of mistresses, but to be honest , Ai Sheng's one, she wasn't very competitive and seemed to be a good person. She could have had a new home with her son and Ai Sheng, but now it's all ruined by my mother.
Ai Sheng didn't die, but his head hit the glass window and the broken glass got stuck in his brain, turning him into a vegetable.
When I went back, my grandmother and her family had already started to prepare for my mother's funeral. The woman who died with her had no family, so we were in the wrong, so my grandparents decided to bury her with her.
I don't know if I should blame my mother. She left, which made me feel relieved, but left me with a mess that I can never deal with. Ai Sheng is brain dead and has become a vegetable. The doctor said that the possibility of waking up is very small. If we don't want to incur additional expenses, we can give up treatment.
However, I did not agree, because Ai Sheng's son kept clamoring for his parents. If this life is not 100% useless, no one can decide for him whether he should continue like this.
This time, my mother was really wrong. Her impulsiveness killed two people and ruined a child's beautiful childhood.
The law ordered my mother to compensate Ai Sheng's family, but Ai Sheng's parents had passed away long ago, and his mistress was also an orphan, so his only relative was a four-year-old child who knew nothing.
Grandpa said to me: "Ai Ye, do you know what is the best way to deal with it? But grandpa doesn't want to force you. You are still young, not even 20 years old, and you shouldn't shoulder such a heavy burden."
I smiled bitterly, "There's no other way. Who told me to know what the best way is? Adopting that child, giving him the happiest childhood possible, and raising him up is better than anything else. Grandpa, you all say that I'm sensible, smart, and that I can handle anything, but has anyone ever thought about whether I'm willing to do it? My mom just left like that, and she never asked me if I was willing to clean up the mess for her? I told her not to hate him, but she just couldn't do it. Grandpa , actually I'm working very hard. What if one day, I suddenly leave? What will you do? What about the child?"
Grandpa patted my shoulder and his face looked a little moved.
"Good boy..." he said.
Everyone said this, but everyone abandoned me, a good kid.
Actually, I don’t ask for much. I just want the people I love and who love me to live well. Nothing is more meaningful than being alive.
But no one wanted to listen to me.
Perhaps they don't know how tragically short life is, so they regard life as so cheap.
