Reborn as a Superpower Girl in the 80s

Chapter 1826: Chapter 1826: I Have Let All of You Down in This Life

"Mom heard that Zhao Jianing is gone, she fell down the stairs and it’s probably bad. Please come back quickly."

Luo Qiao felt a mix of emotions: "Got it, we’re heading to Huanglong Airport now."

She hung up the phone and instructed the driver to go to Huanglong Airport.

Then she called Yipin to help book tickets back to Chengdu and Capital City.

After she finished the calls, Xiao Ye next to her asked, "Mom, what happened?"

Luo Qiao replied, "We can’t go to Mount Emei. Your grandma fell from upstairs and is in the hospital. Your uncle called and said we should hurry back to Capital City."

They rushed and landed safely at eleven thirty at night, going directly from the airport to the hospital.

When Luo Qiao went in, Ning Hongda, Ning Hongbo, and several cousins were all there.

Luo Qiao took her pulse, took a pill from her pocket, fed it to her, and then said to everyone, "She will wake up briefly soon, if you have anything to say, say it quickly."

After speaking, she stepped aside.

Knowing the news of her adopted daughter’s death, the person who could fall from upstairs probably wouldn’t have anything to say to her biological daughter, so she directly made space for others.

Before long, Ning Xueling really woke up and saw Ning Hongda and Ning Hongbo: "Big Brother, Second Brother, you came to see me, have you forgiven me?"

The brothers’ eyes were full of tears, Ning Hongda softly said, "I and your Second Brother forgave you long ago; it was just you who were too frustrating. Are you uncomfortable anywhere? Should we call a doctor?"

Ning Xueling shook her head: "Big Brother, Second Brother, I’m so tired. In the past, Xueling made so many mistakes, worrying you for so long, I’m truly sorry."

Ning Hongbo touched her hair: "We are siblings, broken bones linked with sinew. It’s been so long, we’re not angry anymore."

She might have sensed something, continued, "Help me apologize to the sisters-in-law, I’ve annoyed them often through the years."

Ning Hongbo tried hard to control his emotions: "They forgave you long ago, but I will surely pass the message on."

After hearing his brother’s reassurance, a smile appeared on her face, then she looked at the others in the room: "Haotian didn’t come?"

Luo Xuyan stepped forward: "He couldn’t come due to some commitments, if you have anything to say to him, I will pass it on."

Ning Xueling looked at Luo Xuyan: "Xuyan, you’re Xuyan, right? Look at me, I can’t even recognize my own son. You and Xuyuan look quite alike, but there’s still a difference in your height."

Taking a moment, she continued: "Mom, I’m sorry to you all. If there’s a next life, please don’t be my children again. I was never competent, tell Dad I’m sorry."

Then she looked at each of her five children, and when her gaze fell on Luo Qiao, there were tears in her eyes, thinking: There were obviously better choices, yet she didn’t cherish them.

Luo Qiao had a sudden urge to tell her about Luo Qian’s situation, but feared it might push her over the edge. While hesitating, Luo Xuyuan brought Xiao Jing and Xiao Yuan forward: "Luo Qiao had a twin sister named Luo Qian who was taken from the delivery room years ago, but she passed away from illness a few years ago. These are her two children, Xiao Jing and Xiao Yuan, now they are my sons."

There was no dramatic reaction; Ning Xueling’s eyes slowly closed, as though she was about to fall asleep: "The nanny already told me before, I’ve always been guessing who those two children are, they look nice, be good, and study well. This life I have wronged all of you."

After saying these words, she shut her eyes from tiredness, everyone thought she was merely tired, but only Luo Qiao thought the situation might be bad.

Indeed, she sent her son to get a doctor, and as the doctor approached the bed, the heart monitor quickly turned into a straight line. After resuscitation efforts, the doctor announced the time of death and then left.

The two Ning brothers cried loudly by the bedside, and Luo Qiao watched the person on the bed with mixed feelings. Clearly there could have been a happy family, but she was never satisfied, ending as someone despised by all; clearly with grandchildren aplenty, yet living as a solitary person.

Now that she’s gone, she finally spoke a belated apology. What use is it now?
