Chapter 675 - 185: An Le (6)
However, in the next second, the surrounding two dozen people suddenly erupted,
"Hey, hey, hey, Aunt!"
"The old lady is having a seizure! No, she’s going to fall! Quick! Hurry!"
"It’s too late!!"
At this moment, behind them, a sudden change occurred.
The face of the elderly woman, who was already suffering from a severe illness, suddenly contorted, her entire body stiffened, and she bent over, convulsing.
It was cancer pain...
The pain that seemed to penetrate her soul made her body soften, she squinted her eyes, her peripheral vision noting the abyss below, suddenly thinking it might be her release.
She tilted her body slightly, almost about to fall when...
"Buzz~"
Above the clouds, the setting sun about to fall suddenly pierced through the clouds, dispelling all gloom.
The sunset hovered above the horizon, making it hard to tell if it was indeed the end of all things or the gateway to paradise.
Just at that next moment, the warm pink sunset light washed over the old woman’s face like a tide...
All the pain, all the agony seemed like the day before, passing like a fleeting cloud.
The old woman absent-mindedly gazed at the distant sunset, her formerly rigid body slowly becoming soft.
Until she could no longer hold on, and as she fell, it was not the abyss below she plunged into...
But rather into a mother’s cradle, a gentle realm for wandering souls.
"Buzz..."
A pair of gentle hands slowly touched her wrinkled cheeks, until they cradled her face along with half of her body in an embrace...
Everyone widened their eyes in disbelief, watching as the old lady about to fall was unexpectedly enveloped in the arms of the girl who appeared with outstretched hands.
Once the old lady fully settled into her arms, the girl quietly kneeling on the ground leaned her cheek against the bald top of the old woman’s head.
That was...
An Le.
"It’s okay now, Granny...
"It won’t hurt anymore... it’s not painful anymore..."
A softly lullaby-like voice sounded, finally bringing the old woman back to her senses from the dreamlike environment.
In the girl’s embrace, the old woman who was many times older than her seemed like a child.
The great power of the high-dimensional modifier invaded the world and erupted instantly, continuously flowing into the old woman’s body.
Thus finally surpassing all medication, surpassing all objective conditions, inscribing joy deep into the soul that was about to burn out.
It’s not anesthesia, which would erase all sensations including pain...
It’s not death, which would rudely mark a simple end to life...
At this moment, even the old woman could no longer describe her feelings.
She just widened her eyes, looking at the sky, muttering,
"Alive... this is what it means to be alive...
"It’s wonderful... being alive is wonderful..."
The murmured words, the trace of a smile at the corner of her mouth, a drop of turbid tear gathered at the dry corner of her eye trickled down, seemed to express it all.
Beside her, everyone held their breath and stared as that single tear symbolizing liberation and supreme joy slipped down her cheek.
The smile, clearly just a normal reaction of any person...
Yet for some reason, so many family members in An Ning’s ward saw it, and they knelt on the ground in tears, bowing their heads and sobbing towards An Le,
"Sob... sob sob..."
The rooftop was silent, afterward Yan Huan kept watching the girl holding the old woman.
She saw her lowering her brows and eyes, kneeling on the ground.
A round sunset enveloped her bowed head, the pink sunset light dyed her serene cheeks.
Her appearance remained as usual, yet somehow it was tinted with a color unfamiliar to Yan Huan.
It seemed that only at this point did Yan Huan truly come to know this girl.
Only now did she understand...
Her name is An Le.
