Chapter 1140: 1140

Ou Ming didn’t ask any further questions . He gently covered her hand with his own . “Today is the second day of the New Year, isn’t it?” he asked .

“Yeah,” Yu Lili said .

It was indeed the second day of the New Year, and it was traditionally spent together with family . To an orphan who had no family, this day was no different from any other .

“It must be really festive outside . I’d initially wanted to take you to Kingstown Tower to sightsee, but we I can’t go now,” Ou Ming regretfully said .

“That’s fine . If we can’t go this year, we’ll go next year . There’ll always be a chance to go,” Yu Lili said .

The regret in Ou Ming’s heart increased . The intention to go there hadn’t been for sightseeing . He had intended to propose .

In the most festive moment of the year, at the most festive time of the year, he had wanted to propose in front of the multitudes . When the public office reopened after the holidays, he’d settle the paperwork .

But, that could not happen now . His eyes couldn’t see anything at all . He couldn’t even see her face . With what right could he promise her a good future?

His heart started to ache . His healthy hand released Yu Lili as he tried hard to sit up .

Yu Lili rushed forward to help him and said, “Slowly . ”

There was no change to Ou Ming’s actions . With Yu Lili’s help, it became much easier .

Once he sat up straight, he flipped the covers open and swung both his legs onto the floor . “Take me for a walk,” he said .

“Alright,” Yu Lili said . “Wait a moment . ” She turned around to retrieve the men’s coat that was hanging on the rack . “I help you put it on . Lift your hands up . ”

Ou Ming lifted his hands and threaded his arms through the sleeves . With much effort, the coat was finally put on . Yu Lili looked down to the lower half of his body . The material of the hospital-wear was a little thin . She was afraid it’d be too cold outside .

“Let me find you a pair of pants . ” Yu Lili turned around and started searching the closets .

Ou Ming didn’t know whether to laugh or to cry . “Are my pants soiled?” he asked .

“It’s windy outside . I’m afraid it’ll be cold for you,” Yu Lili said .

“It’s fine . Let’s go . My body isn’t that weak . ” Ou Ming stood up and tugged on his clothing . “Hold my hand . ”

Yu Lili thought about it . What he said was true . The pants he normally wore weren’t very thick either .

She held his hand as they made their way outside . Once they were outdoors, the wind became increasingly stronger .

Yu Lili brought him to the hospital garden where there were children playing . At the same time, there were also elderly and disabled people from the hospital chatting together in the garden .

Yu Lili held his hand and led him to a bench in a quiet corner of the garden to sit . It was wind was a little cold .

Nearby to their left was a little girl who was approximately 3 or 4 years old dressed in a pink jumpsuit . She looked around and was running to the right with a cloth doll in her hand . Her laughter was shrill, and her smile was bright . Full of energy, she yelled out, “I’m your older sister! You cannot chase me!”

Right behind her was another little girl dressed in identical clothing giving chase . She yelled back, “No, I’m the older sister! You’re the younger sister! Wait for me!”

The little kids ran until they were breathless . When they got closer, Yu Lili realized that both of them looked identical .

“Are they identical twins?” Ou Ming asked . “Identical twin girls, probably 3 or 4years old?”

Yu Lili was caught by surprise . She turned to Ou Ming and asked, “How did you know?”

Ou Ming’s eyes remained empty, unfocused, and unseeing . When he heard Yu Lili’s reaction, he knew he’d gotten it right . “If our child had been born, the child would probably be around this age too . If it had been two girls…”
