Liu Chen ran quickly on the steep mountain road. After hearing from Lu Zhengxin that his mother had fallen, Liu Chen could no longer maintain his composure.
Liu Chen, who had once been unable to stir his nerves even when he was submerged in a flood and the arrival of a great battle, could not help but have his expression change drastically when he heard this news.
"Senior Liu Chen, come up here!”
Beside Liu Chen, Lu Zhenxin also transformed into a white snake and dashed out from behind him. Zao Miao also sat on Lu Zhenxin's head.
"This is faster!"
Zao Miao stretched out her hands to Liu Chen, and Liu Chen climbed up without hesitation.
Lu Zhenxin's body moved and he flew into the sky. If it was in the past, Liu Chen might have sighed with emotion, but now, Liu Chen only had his mother in his heart. His anxiety even surfaced on the surface of the water, and his face was distorted without him knowing it.
"Senior Liu Chen, don't be too nervous. Your mother is blessed by the heavens, she will definitely be fine!”
Although Zao Miao comforted him like this, it did not alleviate the anxiety in Liu Chen's heart because Liu Chen's mind was filled with his mother.
Why did my mother fall ill? Why didn't I notice anything wrong earlier? Why…why…?
It was only until now that Liu Chen realized that he did not understand his mother at all. He did not understand what his mother had experienced alone in the past twenty years. He did not understand anything. He did not understand…
Lu Zhengxin flew toward Liu Chen's house and soon arrived at Liu Chen's door.
Liu Chen quickly rushed into his house. He wished his mother was still sitting in front of the door, knitting a sweater and chatting with the neighbors as usual.
But now, everything was impossible. When Liu Chen rushed into the house, there were only two people in the house. One was the village chief, and the other was the doctor of the village. His mother was sleeping on the bed without moving, as if she was really asleep.
Liu Chen tried his best to calm himself down because he knew that even if he shouted, he would not be able to save his mother.
"Village chief, is my mother sick?”
The village chief looked at Liu Chen and shook his head helplessly. His eyes were filled with sorrow.
"Liu Chen, you must hold on after hearing this. I'm afraid your mother won't make it!"
" What?!"
Liu Chen was also not shocked. His body also leaned against the stand, unable to believe the village chief's words.
Sure enough, everything was going to be the worst. His mother, who was already over 80 years old, would have such a day sooner or later. However, Liu Chen always subconsciously ignored this fact and thought that his mother was still as young as before.
"Is there really no other way? Village Chief!"
"That's all. Liu Chen, I'm sorry for your loss. Just accompany your mother for a few more days. She might only have these few days!”
The village chief also patted Liu Chen. How could life and death be reversed so easily? This was something that even Suwa and Minako could not accomplish. Now, he could only hope that Liu Chen could let it go.
After saying that, he left, leaving Liu Chen alone.
Liu Chen slowly walked over and looked at his mother lying on the bed. Her pale hair and dry skin reflected the hardships her mother had experienced in her life.
Having no one to rely on, a woman raised herself alone. In this era, this also represented the hardships. In the end, her child was chosen as a priest, and the rules of the priest made it impossible for her child to take care of her all the time.
However, she still had no regrets. She had been worried about her child and worried that something would happen to her child without her.
She was undoubtedly a great mother who did everything she should.
"Why…why didn't I realize it earlier?”
Liu Chen's heart was filled with endless regret. He hated himself for not discovering his mother's abnormality earlier and hated himself for not caring about it.
"No…I actually…I've already discovered it!”
Liu Chen also remembered the scene when he went home to visit his mother a few days ago. At that time, his mother was already showing signs of exhaustion, but he was busy solving the hidden dangers between the two countries at that time, so he did not care.
However, he did not expect that it would be an eternal parting. Now that his mother's life was coming to an end, all his regrets were useless.
"So death is such a sad thing?”
Liu Chen's hands trembled as he held his mother's hands. Those calloused hands were the hands that had nurtured him. His mother did not enjoy much happiness when she was young. When she was old, she had no one to rely on. However, she never complained. She just gave everything without asking for anything in return!
Tears flowed from her eyes as she pressed her face against her mother's hand and said slowly.
"I'm sorry, Mother!"
The words filled with regret gradually echoed in the room.
The most painful things in the world could not be two.
First, it was the old man sending the old man away. Second, when he realized his mistake, the person who needed his apology had already disappeared!
Zao Miao, who was standing in front of the door, sighed when she saw Liu Chen like this.
"Senior Liu Chen, you're crying…Ah!”
