Spoiled By the Young Master After Reborn In the 80s-Chapter 855: Eight hundred fifty-three, letting go

Professor Shen looked out of the window with a somber expression. Just the thought of Professor Guo Beiling filled his heart with deep guilt and self-reproach.

"Knock, knock, knock!" The door to the hospital room was gently rapped.

Then, Shen Anning walked in, holding a thermos.

"Dad, I made you some red date porridge." Shen Anning placed the thermos on the bedside table, opened it, and poured out a bowl of red date porridge. Mo Shaoze had told her already, Professor Guo died suddenly of acute myocardial infarction. She believed that today, the relevant report would be delivered to the institute.

"I can’t eat." Professor Shen said weakly, shaking his head. How could he have any appetite now?

"Dad, you also need to take care of your own health. If you don’t eat or drink, it makes us feel bad too." Shen Anning stirred the porridge in the bowl, blew on it to cool it down, and then brought it to Professor Shen’s mouth, "Dad, please eat a little."

"I really can’t eat it. If it weren’t for me, your Uncle Guo wouldn’t have died," Professor Shen said with a face full of self-blame. These past two days he had been filled with regret, regretting why he couldn’t have waited just a while longer.

"Knock, knock, knock!" The hospital room door was knocked on again.

"Come in," Shen Anning called out loudly.

The door was pushed open, and Ge Tian and Qin Fen walked in.

"Please have a seat, I’ll get some tea for you," Shen Anning said, putting down the bowl of red date porridge and gesturing to the two men.

"No need to fuss, we’re here to tell Professor Shen about the cause of Professor Guo’s death. The security officers have already investigated it," Ge Tian said with a hint of sadness in his voice.

"How did he die?" Professor Shen asked anxiously.

"Professor Guo died suddenly of acute myocardial infarction," Qin Fen handed over a report to Professor Shen, "This is the coroner’s death certificate."

Professor Shen took the report and began to read it.

"The report states that the reason Professor Guo suddenly suffered a fatal myocardial infarction was because he had not slept for two days and his body had already exceeded its load," Qin Fen added sorrowfully. Even if Professor Guo was at the institute then, it would have been too late to save him, as the institute only had some experimental equipment. Even if they attempted cardiac resuscitation for Professor Guo, it would require electrical defibrillation to work.

"Professor Shen, you shouldn’t blame yourself anymore. This was just an accident, not because of you," Ge Tian consoled. They were also powerless in the face of Professor Guo’s condition. Perhaps this is what people mean by fate.

"Professor Shen, you’re a doctor too, you should know how slim the chances of treating a sudden myocardial infarction are. This really isn’t your fault," Qin Fen also offered words of comfort. Seeing Professor Shen like this made him feel very upset.

Professor Shen let out a long sigh and closed the report in his hand. Even if it wasn’t his fault, the loss of an old friend was still something he found hard to accept.

Seeing her father finally relieved, Shen Anning felt reassured at last. Sorrow would slowly fade with the passage of time, but self-blame is a wound that can never heal, and the slightest touch can cause it to bleed again.

Lu Hanmo used his divine sense to scan all over Jinchen and did not find any presence of evil cultivators, so he had no choice but to give up.

"Shushu, I’m going back to Guard District first, I’ll come over tonight." Lu Hanmo bent down to kiss Luo Shu’s forehead before reluctantly leaving by Sword Flight.

"Okay!" Luo Shu smiled and nodded, leaning on the windowsill, watching Lu Hanmo leave until his figure disappeared into the sky, only then did she withdraw her gaze. This time every day was the hardest for her; she really wished she could be by his side all the time.

The sunshine was bright, and the sky was clear.

On the wide road, a beast carriage was speeding along.

Inside the carriage, Luo Qianyu and Yang Muxue each held a child. The two children shared identical delicate features, their eyes round and big like black grapes, their little faces plump, irresistibly making people want to pinch them.

"We are almost at the Teleportation Array," Luo Qianyu retracted his divine sense and said. They had been on Lan Star for nearly four months, and in these four months, Xiao Xuexue had already achieved Foundation Establishment. The two babies had made tremendous progress; although only half a year old, they were already at the Foundation Establishment Late Stage. Such talent was extremely rare even in the True Cultivation World.

Yang Muxue smiled and nodded, "Counting the days, Shushu should be about to give birth; carrying twins usually means an early delivery." The reason they were now hurrying back to Yuan Star was because of this matter. Shushu giving birth was a big event they absolutely could not miss.

As for the family disciples they had brought along, they were currently in White Night City, establishing a sect with Yun Han and Xiao Yao. The next time they came, it should be built.

"What’s with the crowd up ahead? Xiao Xuexue, you and the children go into the space first." Seeing a large group of cultivators gather ahead, Luo Qianyu’s gaze revealed a hint of contemplation. Xiao Xuexue and the children were his treasures; he would never let them suffer any harm.

"Okay!" Yang Muxue complied, took the baby from Luo Qianyu’s arms, and entered the space together.

Luo Qianyu stopped the beast carriage about fifty meters away from the crowd, flipped off the carriage curtain, stepped down, and headed towards the crowd.

"This was supposed to be the site of the Spatial Teleportation Array, no idea what happened, but it’s collapsed."

"I heard it was the fight between two powerful beings that caused it."

"So it collapsed. It’s not like we can leave anyway."

Luo Qianyu stepped forward and saw that the Teleportation Array was no longer operational; his brow furrowed instantly. If they weren’t in a hurry to get back, he could find another Teleportation Array, but from here to the next array, it would take at least ten days’ time. He feared by the time they returned, Shushu would have already given birth. But now, no matter how urgent, there was nothing else he could do. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

He sighed helplessly after a glance at the Teleportation Array and then began to walk back to the beast carriage. His only option was to rush to another Teleportation Array as fast as possible, hoping to get back before Shushu gave birth.

"Qianyu, which Teleportation Array are we heading to now?" Yang Muxue emerged from the space with the children. Her heart was filled with worry and anxiety, fearing they would be too late when they return, and Shushu would have already given birth.

"We’re going to Xiyue City," Luo Qianyu said. He had just calculated that the two closest Teleportation Arrays were one in Xiyue City and the other in Luyang City. The Teleportation Array in Xiyue City was in the desert; if they were fast, it would take them eight to nine days to get there.

The Teleportation Array in Luyang City was in a forest, which despite being closer than Xiyue City, was more dangerous. Most importantly, he didn’t have a map of the forest. It was just unfortunate that they couldn’t engage in Sword Flight, otherwise it would be faster.
