Dream Reading

On the third day after my death, my five-year-old daughter finally realized something was wrong.
She was afraid of the dark at night, but I didn't hold her to sleep.
She was hungry, and I didn’t cook for her.
She lifted the quilt trying to pull me up, but felt my hand was very cold.
"Mom, why are your hands cold, are you sick?"
"Mom, don't sleep, if you're sick you need to get up and take medicine."
Helpless, she found my phone and called her doctor dad.
"Dad, mom is sick and won't get up to take medicine. Please come and treat her."
My husband, however, was very impatient.
“A grown woman who can't take care of herself, is she disabled, is she dead! Don't use such cheap tricks to threaten me!”
“And also, tell your mom, I'll come home when she admits her mistake!”
He didn't know, I was indeed dead, dead on the night he forced me for the 18th time to donate blood to his 'white moonlight.'


After My Daughter and I Died, My Husband Regretted It

Warm fluid gushed into the bag, as the daughter's face grew paler and the scene before her eyes became increasingly blurred.


Huo Chengjun looked at his fainted daughter, and his hand instinctively wanted to reach out to comfort her.


But Su Xin's voice urged him, snapping him back to reality, and he hastily lowered his hand, taking the blood bag back to the operating room.


In the empty room, the light coldly enveloped his daughter.


I held her in my arms, gently patting her back.


I understand that everything I do at this moment is in vain, but this is the only way I can comfort myself.


In a daze, I heard my daughter calling me.


"Mom, why are you here? Did you take your medicine? I haven't brought you the candy yet?"


My daughter looked at me in confusion, and my heart jumped, could it be that I am becoming visible?


I wanted to open my mouth to speak to her, but in the next moment, my daughter fully opened her eyes, I was beside her, but she couldn't see me.


"Where's my candy? Oh! It's still here!"


She had been holding that hand tightly, even though the candy was sticky and had covered her palm, she never let go.


Then, she glanced at the empty room, mumbling to herself.


"I think I just saw Mom, I must miss her too much."


"I have to hurry back, with the candy, Mom can obediently take her medicine and get better soon."


My daughter staggered down from the operating table, the world spinning, she almost couldn't stand firm.


Stumbling like that, my daughter left the hospital.


At the same time, the operating room light went out, and Huo Chengjun came out, but he didn't see the little figure that should have been resting.


Su Xin came out right after, embracing the man, speaking with a tremble of excitement.


"Chengjun, this should be the last surgery, after this, Rui Rui will be just like a normal child." 


This is a good thing, something he and Su Xin had always hoped for, but why did he feel absent-minded, inexplicably flustered.


Looking at the thick night outside the window, he glanced at the clock, it was already deep into the night.


He perfunctorily patted Su Xin's back and walked towards the front desk, asking the nurse on duty about his daughter's whereabouts. The nurse said she did indeed see the child go out.


Su Xin followed behind him, comforting him by saying, "Maybe Sister Wan Yi couldn't wait any longer for An'an to bring the money back, so she came to get An'an herself."


After a round of surgery, Huo Chengjun was mentally exhausted, pinching his brow, letting Su Xin pull him along.


Suddenly, a phone ringing pierced the silence of the corridor, startling Huo Chengjun.


It was an unfamiliar number, he answered it with confusion.


"We're from the Criminal Police Unit, we've found two bodies at the North City Clinic, and after confirmation, they are your daughter and wife..."
