Can't Let Go

May the next generations be all right.

Duoduo’s death brought Linda Yun a huge strike.

She passed out several times, which terrified every one.

Debra Huo then helped his uncle and aunt bury his big brother.

When the people went to the cemetery again, they were all sad.

Linda Yun was lying in Michael Huo’s arms. The man was holding an umbrella. It was drizzling. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

Which made the cemetery look more full of sorrow.

Jennifer Huo was sad, too, and she had cried many times and passed out many times.

This time she came with Richard Qu helping her with a wheelchair.

These three days, she got thinner quickly and her eyes which used to be beautiful became gloomy.

It seemed that Richard Qu got much older. He was looking at Duoduo in the photo, and his eyes were

still.

Their eyes looked terrible and made people feel pretty sympathetic.

“Let’s go!” Michael Huo was holding Linda Yun and he felt the delicateness of the woman in his arms.

Linda Yun was staring at the photo on the tomb stone, finally, she left with tears.

When people got back to the Huo’s again, Linda Yun made an excuse that she was tired for getting

upstairs.

“I am going to check on your mom.” Michael Huo was worried and followed.

“Brother!” Jennifer Huo called his name and slowly stood up from her wheelchair, saying, “Let me go

and see her!|

Hearing this, many people looked at her.

These days, everyone felt that there was some kind of misunderstanding between her and Linda Yun.

And this misunderstanding came from Duoduo’s big brother.

Now, she asked to go to see her on her own initiative, which shocked everyone.

Because the moment when big brother died, she was shouting angrily. She shouted that why he would

come to the Austral City and get her son killed.

She was extremely sad and angry, roaring.

Everybody saw her sadness and rage at that moment.

However, no one complained about her words, though.

Because everyone felt her pain.

Michael Huo looked at his sister. A few seconds later, he nodded and said, “OK!”

Jennifer Huo gave a smile with a bad grace and then went upstairs.

Laura Su pulled Debra Huo’ hand anxiously.

Debra Huo looked sideways at her and noticed some worry in her eyes which was pretty thick, so he

smiled and patted her hand to comfort her.

He believed that her aunt would handle the thing well.

At the room.

Linda Yun was on her bed, holding Duoduo’s photo album.

Every year, when they met, she would take many pictures together with him.

“Knock, knock, knock.” The door was knocked and sounded.

Then, Jennifer Huo opened the door and walked in.

Linda Yun saw her, stunned.

“Sister in law.”

She called her gently.

Then, she came up to her and looked at the photo album in her hands.

Linda Yun hurriedly closed up the photo album and looked at her with sadness filled with her eyes. She

smiled reluctantly and said, “You are not staying at the Austral City for a little longer? Richard Qu told

me that you are leaving tonight?”

“No.” She smiled faintly and looked at her, saying, “Sister in law, I’m sorry!”

Linda Yun frowned but she didn’t say anything, then she started to say, “I am selfish all this time.

Before you came to my house, I have already been selfish. I like to get want I want and I like others to

flatter me and then you changed me. You made me restrain myself, but I had no idea that so many

things would happened later......”

“Back then, I, as George Mo said, was stubborn, selfish. I wanted to get Duoduo for love. There was no

kindness in my eyes and I could not imagine that it was difficult for you to raise him. I was trying to

prove that me being with Richard Qu was also normal and we could also have our child, but I had no

idea that this had hurt you deeply......”

“Later, because of your kindness, you let Duoduo leave with us abroad...... I should have thank you,

but......”

She lowered her head with her hands holding the lower hem of her clothes, saying, “But, I was envious

at you. I was jealous that you were so important to Duoduo, even though we took him abroad, I could

still feel that his alienating from us. No matter what we tried, there was always a gap that lay between

us......”

“Then, you got a baby and Duoduo started to get familiar with us, but, I knew that you were important to

him......” Saying, she smiled bitterly, “He knew that he could still hang on for a while if he didn’t come a

long way here, but he was willing to come back without hesitation. He wanted to see you. He......

said......”

Linda Yun looked at her and began to sob, frowning.

“He said...... that even if he would die, he would like to die in front of her mom......” she was sobbing,

“His mom......the one he always loved was you......”

Linda Yun was biting her lips and didn’t say anything, but her tears were out of control.

“Last night, we have talked a lot. And it was the first time for me to know his true idea. He knew more

about himself than us. He said that if he didn’t go to see uncle George, he would not have the

chance...... He was hanging on, till the last moment he could see that man......” Jennifer Huo began to

tremble and said, “I wanted to say no, I was even thinking selfishly that if he didn’t go to see George

Mo, would he be still alive......”

Linda Yun,......

“But I couldn’t do that at last. I was afraid......that if I didn’t agree him on seeing George Mo, he would

die regret......”

Saying, she got more and more excited, saying, “That morning he woke up. He looked better than

before and he looked like a normal man, but I knew......I knew that it was just a dead cat bounce......At

the cemetery......I already......knew that we were losing him......”

She kept crying and said, “I don’t want to leave, but I know that he wanted to speak to you and to

George Mo. He wanted to say something that only three of you should know......”

She was trembling violently, saying, “Do you have any idea about my being unwilling to let go? Do you

know that I was trembling while I was holding his hands?

She burst out into tears, saying, “I was waiting for him to come back......but, he never made it......My

son......was only 33. He was still so young......”

She knew everything.

Everything.

But, she knew with a price.

The child knew that his at ill sickness.

As a mother, how would she didn’t know that?

She gave birth to him, but she didn’t raise him.

If she kept depriving his hope at the last few minutes in his life.

She didn’t deserve to be a human......

“Jennifer......” Linda Yun sobbed.

“He is the person that I am most sorry for in my life.” Saying, she looked at Linda Yun, “And you, too.

Sister in law!”

Then, she knelt on the ground.

Linda Yun hurriedly stood up and said, “Get up! What are you doing?”

“I’ sorry. Sorry......” She knelt on the ground and was kowtowing, saying, “It there is a next life, I will

definitely return your favour......”

Linda Yun knelt on the ground at once and hugged her.

She didn’t blame her.

She didn’t hate her at all.

She knew that what she did was all out of her love for Duoduo......

Duoduo, did you see this in heaven?

You were always loved by many people, doubly......

After they opened their heart to each other.

That night, Jennifer Huo and Richard Qu went back.

They took back the Wheelchair that Duoduo used to sit on.

Paul Mu took Barbara and Carol back.

At the big house of the Huo’s, they were the ones who were left.

“Laura, You stay with Debra. Your aunt and uncle are leaving for Japan tomorrow.” Laura Su was giving

dishes to her while saying.

“Ah? Aunt, you are leaving so soon? Why not stay for a little longer?” Laura Su was stupefied, wonder

why would they leave so soon?

“Mom, now that you are back, you shall stay for a little longer!” Debra Huo was also surprised.

“Linda Yun shook her head, saying, “No, I want to go back to Japan......”

She didn’t want to stay here.

In this City of sadness.

All the pain and separateness were here.

She couldn’t bare. She wanted to escape.

She wanted to go back to Japan, a place where it was quiet.

Seeing this, Debra Huo felt no need to say anything.

On the table, the atmosphere got depressed suddenly.

After the dinner, Linda Yun dragged Laura Su to the swinging chair at the garden.

“Laura, I’m leaving tomorrow, leaving you and Debra here, but I’m still worried. He has never taken

care anyone before, if you get bullied, you shall tell me, and I’ll scold him!” Linda Yun was afraid that

she would be bullied, so she said worriedly.

Laura Su’s eyes got red at once, saying, “Aunt......”

“You are a girl in a strange city. You may easily get bullied, but don’t be afraid, because every girl will

grow up. No one lives a peace life, but when you come across the difficulty, you need to be tough and

find yourself a good man to protect you. But, for the most of the time, you need to grow up yourself, so

that, you can be with each other for the rest of your life!”

She knew about Laura Su, and she was one hundred percent a princess.

She also knew that she was different from the other rich girls. She didn’t act like a rich girl and she was

innocent and cute.

But this was what worried her. She wondered whether her this kind of innocence could make her be

with Debra forever.

After all, there is to much blackness in the world.

But she was so innocent and Debra would not be able to be by her side all the time.

There were indeed more hidden worry and danger in this sweet relationship......

“Laura, remember. No matter what happen, first of all, you need to make up your mind. As long as you

have strong willingness, you will fear nothing!”

“Em, I get it!” Laura Su nodded at once.

“What’s more, you shall call me when you are available. If he bullies you, you must let me know, OK?”

“Um!”

Laura Su smiled and lay in Linda Yun’s arms.

Linda Yun was holding her, looking at the stars up in the sky.

She hoped that these two kids’ relationship could go smoothly......
