The General's Darling Is Delicate-Chapter 408 - 271: Fallen Into the Rift of Time and Space

Chapter 408: Chapter 271: Fallen Into the Rift of Time and Space

This voice... is it Grandmaster?

Mother...

It’s the mother from her world!

Yun Chunnuan was momentarily dazed, then realized that the clue pointed to her mother!

Has her soul been awakened?

"What’s wrong?"

Yelyu Lie could sense even the slightest change in his little wife.

Seeing her expression suddenly change, he couldn’t help but get nervous, "Nuannuan, are you feeling unwell?"

Last night, before Dora came, Yelyu Lie had indulged himself for several hours, stopping only when his little wife couldn’t take it anymore.

He thought maybe he was too rough last night...

Yun Chunnuan looked up at him, unable to hide her excitement.

She hadn’t yet told him about visiting her father in the Storage Ring Space.

She gave him a kiss on the lips, soothing him, "It’s nothing, you take Dora to the morning assembly first, I’ll talk to you later."

"Really nothing?" Yelyu Lie still wasn’t assured.

"Really, go quickly. It’s the new King’s first day at the morning assembly, you can’t be late."

Yelyu Lie glanced at his little wife from top to bottom, noticing nothing unusual except a hint of excitement in her expression.

Her cheeks were flushed as if something wonderful had happened.

If it weren’t for his son’s first time at the morning assembly needing his supervision, Yelyu Lie would’ve stayed, eager to know what she wanted to say.

The little one in his arms was still asleep, so he had to carry the baby to Heyong Palace.

After they left, Yun Chunnuan got dressed quickly and hurried to the Storage Ring Space without tidying up.

There was no one under the peach blossom tree; she was searching when a voice came from the small house, "In here."

Yun Chunnuan ran inside, finding Grandmaster sitting on the bed, fiddling with the computer on the bedside table.

"Grandmaster, did my mother... wake up?"

Her mother became a vegetative state, and when Grandmaster mentioned a clue, Yun Chunnuan instinctively felt she had awakened.

Shen Ruosui looked up at her, sighed helplessly, "Little Nuannuan, your mother... probably won’t wake up..."

Yun Chunnuan didn’t react for a moment, just stood there in shock, "But didn’t you say..."

"A clue doesn’t mean awakening," Shen Ruosui’s words shattered all of Yun Chunnuan’s hope, "Your mother’s soul body is no longer in the original world.

It wasn’t that I couldn’t find her before, but that during your mother’s coma, her soul body accidentally fell into a time-space crevice."

"What do you mean?"

Yun Chunnuan didn’t know what a time-space crevice was, but hearing Grandmaster’s words, she thought of the scenes she had seen in dreams.

The soul isn’t in the original world, doesn’t that mean she died?

Did Mother perish because of her passing...?

What about Father?

The surging emotions finally broke through, and despite trying to hold them back, tears spilled from her eyes.

Shen Ruosui handed over a tissue, sighing helplessly, "Don’t cry, your mother should be like you, she traveled to another time-space, but which one specifically is still unknown.

I wanted to confirm this before telling you, but your father has already exhausted all his resources, yet still refuses to give up on your mother’s treatment.

I thought... maybe you should advise your father, because your mother’s situation doesn’t really fit within the medical definition of brain death.

There is no hope."

Shen Ruosui tried to clarify for the distressed girl.

But Yun Chunnuan, struck by the blow of her mother’s inability to wake up, felt dizzy and disoriented.

All she could catch was a single message, "My mother is still alive?!"

"As long as a person’s soul hasn’t perished, they aren’t considered dead. She’s merely living under another identity in some corner of this time-space.

Little Nuannuan, I will do everything within my power to help you find the world your mother is now in.

As for your father, maybe you’d better talk to him."

Shen Ruosui repeated himself, and only then did Yun Chunnuan understand why her father appeared so aged the last time they met.

It wasn’t just the mental blow, but the physical toll as well.

To heal a vegetative person, the family that was once fairly well-off had become destitute.

Yun Chunnuan’s father, besides his teaching job, had taken up delivering meals, and all valuable assets at home were sold off.

If this continues, Yun’s father would end up as a living husk.

Shen Ruosui couldn’t help but recall Nuannuan’s second life.

Without the incident with the Great Xia’s Seventh Princess, in Nuannuan’s world, she hadn’t gone out that day due to illness.

She went to college and fulfilled her dream of becoming an actress.

The family of three, while not exceedingly wealthy, lived peacefully and happily throughout their lives.

Looking back at Yun’s father and mother now, Shen Ruosui couldn’t bear to stand by.

Hearing all this, Yun Chunnuan felt as if knives stabbed her heart.

But for her father, even if her mother lay in bed, she was still his sole spiritual support.

How could she persuade him to give up on her mother’s life?

"I have money! I have more silver than I could ever spend; Grandmaster, can you help me send money to my father?"

Shen Ruosui shook his head, "Currencies from two time-spaces can’t circulate, and even if it could be sent to your world, it would turn to ashes.

You only have two paths now, one is to persuade your father to give up on your mother’s treatment and let him live a good life from now on.

The other is to let him continue working himself to the bone, but your mother will never wake up, and the hope he guards will only be an illusion."

These words sounded cruel, but they were the stark truth.

Yun’s father is only in his forties; he still has a long life ahead of him.

Shen Ruosui knew what weighed on Nuannuan’s mind, and if she were in the same position, she wouldn’t know what to do either.

But people have to look forward; knowing there’s never going to be an outcome yet waiting hopelessly is the cruelest.

If Yun’s father were a wealthy man, with ample resources to squander in hospitals for Yun’s mother, she wouldn’t intervene.

She just felt the family of three was too pitiful.

Nuannuan died to save someone, but the girl she saved never dared to show her face. Yun’s mother became a vegetative state, and her soul’s current location is unknown. Yun’s father is the most miserable, his wife and daughter might start life anew in another world.

And he...

Shen Ruosui knew from the start that she shouldn’t focus too much on any characters within the mission.

Otherwise, with her nature, she couldn’t resist meddling.

True enough, focusing on Nuannuan’s parents this time, she still couldn’t help it.

"Think it over, and if you need help convincing your father, just call me." Shen Ruosui patted Yun Chunnuan’s shoulder and was about to leave.

But she grabbed him, "Grandmaster! Is there a possibility, if you find which time-space my mother is in, my father’s soul could also travel there?"
