Chapter 1549: The Only Family Member He Cared About Is Gone

“That’s the reality, Professor Ning. What use is it if you don’t accept it? The Research Institute has already sent a notice, requesting that you return to the Institute with me as soon as possible. Miss Feng Yi’s situation has been reported, and research is needed.”

The reality?

The reality!

Ning Yan coldly glanced at him, bumped past him, and walked ahead.

“Professor Ning? Professor Ning?!”

Ning Yan silently gazed forward. It was summer now, and the evening came slowly; at this moment, everything was still murky, yet the street lamps were already lit.

He walked step by step toward Jiangzhou Prefecture People’s Hospital, his footsteps somewhat unsteady.

If… if earlier he had accompanied her to buy hot porridge, would it have been a different outcome?

Perhaps… perhaps he would have had the chance to catch her.

Perhaps he could have walked together with her?

His mind was chaotic, relying only on instinct to move his legs, his mind blank, vaguely hearing curses and the piercing sound of car horns around him.

“Professor Ning, be careful! Don’t run the red light!” The male worker said, reaching out to grab him, but Ning Yan shook him off.

Ning Yan stopped at the hospital entrance, his reddened eyes staring at the hospital entrance.

Perhaps in the future, no one would share snacks with him anymore.

In the future, he might never meet the person who called him Uncle Ning again.

The only relative he cared about was gone.

Ning Yan tightly pursed his lips, pressed them into a straight line, his eyes somewhat hollow.

“Young man, my condolences. Your loved one is gone, but you still have your own path to walk.” An elderly man passing by noticed his expression, sighed, and gently patted his shoulder, saying.

Clearly, the old man mistakenly thought the young man’s relative had died in the hospital.

Ning Yan slightly lowered his gaze, his eyes filled with a murky discomfort.

The road in the past was always walked by him alone, covered with thorns, rugged pathways, filled with frost. This kind of road, he had walked alone, and gotten used to.

Then, someone else came from another direction, joined him on this journey, and the road gradually had light, had the warmth of spring sunlight.

He gradually got used to the presence of this person, yet ultimately could only walk to the end alone?

Accustomed to warm days, how could he return to the past?

Ning Yan’s dry and pale lips moved slightly, his legs, heavy as if filled with lead, strode into the hospital. He didn’t take the elevator, but stepped onto the stairs, climbing up step by step.

As soon as he went in, Xiao Heng beamed at him: “You’re back? She’s given birth, Su Li finally gave birth.”

Ning Yan’s murky eyes glanced towards the delivery room door; Feng Huaijin’s brother-in-law was still staring at the delivery room, not moving an inch.

“Your sister is still undergoing checks in the delivery room, it’ll be a while before she comes out.”

Ning Yan’s voice was somewhat hoarse: “Feng… Feng Yi?”

Xiao Heng was taken aback, blurting out: “Feng Yi was with you, wasn’t she?”

Ning Yan said nothing, Xiao Heng hit himself on the head, saying: “Oh, my memory! You’re talking about Little Feng Yi, right? She was premature so she’s been sent to the incubator; do you want to go check?”

Ning Yan silently nodded.

Xiao Heng, quite fond of his soft little niece, glanced at Feng Huaijin and excitedly pulled Ning Yan towards the incubator.

“Hey? Where’s Feng Yi? I mean, the older niece?” Xiao Heng looked around and asked.

He felt completely confused, thinking about one person but talking as if there were a big and a small one.
