Chapter 1122 WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
IT was already late at night, but Luo Wei Tian was still awake. Maybe because he was still reeling from the happiness of the day. Some would probably say that he's exaggerating. After all, a child graduating high school was not exactly the most uncommon thing. But for Luo Wei Tian, it was. Very much so.
Because a year and a half ago, he wasn't even sure if this was even possible.
With Luo Yan being in a coma for seven years, there were times when Luo Wei Tian thought that his son would not open his eyes ever again. The sadness was too overwhelming. Especially during the first few years. Since he was also dealing with the loss of his wife.
He remembered nights spent by the side of his son's hospital bed, holding his hand and praying for a miracle. There were moments when despair crept in, and he almost gave up hope. The guilt of even considering giving up weighed heavily on him, haunting his thoughts.
He felt like he was failing as a father, unable to protect his child. Those years were filled with a painful mix of love, fear, and regret, but he never stopped wishing for his son's recovery.
And alas, it seemed that his prayers were answered. Because March last year, Luo Yan finally woke up.
When he woke up, it was as if the family found a new sense of hope and joy. The house was filled with laughter and activity again. They enjoyed meals together, shared stories, and made new memories. The burden of the past years seemed to be lifted all at once. Luo Yan's presence brought a warmth and lightness to their daily routines, bringing the family even closer together.
And now that Luo Yan had graduated from high school, Luo Wei Tian came to a sudden realization. If his son chose to enroll in T University, then he had to move to B City by August. Luo Wei Tian wasn't sure if he was ready for that.
Maybe that's also one of the main reasons he couldn't sleep.
Luo Wei Tian stood up and decided to walk into the back garden for a while. Since it's already summer, the night wind wouldn't be so cold.
Leaving his room and walking down the stairs, he headed to the back garden through the back door.
Walking through the garden, Luo Wei Tian slowly felt the calmness enveloping him. It had always been like this. Whenever he's not in the best of moods, or if he just wanted a bit of peace, he would always go here. Because it's the place in the house that reminded him the most of his wife.
He loved to imagine that whenever the wind blew and carried the scent of flowers, it was Mei Hua comforting him.
As he was walking, he happened to turn his head towards the house. Just as he did, his eyes widened when he saw a shadow lurking just below the second-floor balcony.
Luo Wei Tian would have a calmer reaction to that if not for the fact that this shadow was standing right in front of Luo Yan's room!
When the shadow seemed like it was about to reach out towards his son's room, he moved. He ran as fast as he could. He even felt like he suddenly gained super speed because of how fast he ran at that moment.
As soon as he was just a few steps away from the shadow, he propelled himself forward and tackled the other. Due to the speed of his run, as well as the power of his momentum, the force he used to tackle the shadow became much stronger.
The two of them rolled on the grass, like some scene in an action movie. He heard the other grunt from pain. The voice indicated that the shadow was a man.
"Who are you?! How did you enter? Why are you lurking around my house?!"
He lifted the other's collar and planned to punch him. But before he could, a light from somewhere suddenly shone on them. Quickly followed by a familiar voice.
"Dad?"
When he heard Luo Yan's voice, he couldn't turn around quickly because he was once again left shock by the sight in front of him.
"Brother Ji Yun?"
Yes, that's right, the shadow he thought was lurking around and was planning something bad was actually Shen Ji Yun!
"Cough... Uncle, can you let go of me now?" Shen Ji Yun said, looking like he was trying his best not to groan in pain once more.
Luo Wei Tian quickly stood up, feeling completely embarrassed. But as soon as he did, a sharp pain shot through his lower back, making him wince. It felt like his back might have twisted or even cracked from the awkward fall.
Because of the sudden pain, he almost fell forward once again. If not from someone suddenly supporting him from the side.
"Dad, are you okay?" Luo Yan's voice, filled with concern, came from beside him.
He looked at his son and winced a bit. "No, I think I hurt my back a bit."
"Let's go to my room first," Luo Yan said.
Then he turned to Shen Ji Yun who had already stood up and, even with the lack of proper lighting, he could see that his whole face was burning red. Most likely from embarrassment.
He had an idea of what had happened here and it's most definitely his fault. But this was not the time to go about that now. It's more important to help his father right now.
He looked at Shen Ji Yun, his eyes asking if he was alright. Shen Ji Yun nodded, clearly understanding the unspoken question. Afterward, he swiftly moved to the other side of his father and offered his help.
Luo Yan had earlier opened the floor-to-ceiling door/window of his room, so the light guiding them came from there, making it easy for them to enter. He and Shen Ji Yun helped his father sit on the bed, who winced as soon as he did.
"Dad, should we go to the hospital?" Luo Yan asked worriedly, sitting beside the other.
"No need. But more importantly..." Luo Wei Tian turned to Shen Ji Yun, narrowing his eyes. "What exactly are you doing lurking outside my son's room, young man?"
