After time travel, share a space with your modern family.

After nearly an hour's drive, we finally arrived at our destination—a luxurious and magnificent large villa.

The vehicle slowly came to a stop and came to a steady halt in front of the gate.

"Sir, Madam, Young Master, Young Mistress, and Miss, welcome home!" Aunt Wu stood at the door with a beaming smile, warmly welcoming her masters back.

Ruan Wanfu nodded slightly in response, but his face remained expressionless as he silently walked straight to the study on the second floor.

Ruan Mumu stepped out of the car with the careful help of her sister-in-law, Liao Jiaqi.

Upon seeing this, Ruan Haohao quickly stepped forward, gently picked up Ruan Mumu, and carefully placed her on the wheelchair.

Wu Ma nimbly pushed her wheelchair into the house, followed by the other family members, who entered the spacious and bright living room.

"Aunt Wu, could you please take me back to my room? I'm feeling a bit tired." After a half-hour drive, Ruan Mumu felt exhausted and her face was slightly pale.

Wu Ma immediately pushed her wheelchair toward the elevator located on the right side of the living room.

"Mumu, Mom will come up to visit you again later. You should rest well first." Zhang Yufang gazed at her daughter affectionately and said with maternal love and care.

“Okay, Mom,” Ruan Mumu replied weakly, as if she didn’t have much strength left to speak.

Zhang Yufang walked heavily back to the room on the left side of the second floor. She had originally planned to change into some light and comfortable clothes, but when she saw Ruan Wanfu walk into the room, a strong sense of unease welled up in her heart.

She rushed over and asked with concern, "Honey, what happened?"

Ever since you went to pay the bill, you've been looking gloomy and downcast.

"Our daughter is able to be discharged from the hospital and go home, which should be a happy thing! But why are you acting like someone owes you money?"

Ruan Wanfu sat blankly on the edge of the bed as if he had lost his soul. He stared at his wife silently and said in a solemn tone, "Yufang, there is something I must tell you. Please sit down first."

As soon as he finished speaking, he grabbed Zhang Yufang's hand tightly, gesturing for her to sit down with him.

Zhang Yufang stared at her husband's unusual expression, her heart growing increasingly uneasy.

"Yu Fang, before I went to pay the fee, Dr. Li called me into the consultation room."

Then they told me a devastating truth—our daughter has bone cancer. Her condition has progressed to an incurable stage.

Despite his grief, Ruan Wanfu delivered the devastating news to his wife in a trembling voice.

As soon as he finished speaking, he could no longer control his emotions. He covered his face with his hands, sobbed softly, and tears streamed down his face like a burst dam.

Upon hearing this news, which was like a bolt from the blue, Zhang Yufang froze on the spot, her eyes vacant, her body unable to move as if she had been electrocuted.

Time seemed to freeze at that moment; she couldn't believe what was happening before her eyes.

After a long while, Zhang Yufang's lips trembled slightly, and she murmured in a low voice, "Then Mumu... how much time does she have left?"

Ruan Wanfu seemed to have cried all his tears out; after crying, his mood calmed down a little.

He reached out and pulled his wife into a tight embrace, gently patting her back.

He tried to offer her some comfort in this way: "The doctor isn't sure either; it could take a few days, or as little as... it could happen at any time..."

Upon hearing the word "at any time," tears welled up in Zhang Yufang's eyes and instantly burst forth like a dam breaking.

Just like Nguyen Van Phu before him, he completely lost control of his emotions and began to sob uncontrollably.

She dared not cry too loudly, for fear that her daughter would hear her.

Meanwhile, in her room on the third floor, Liao Jiaqi had just learned from Ruan Haohao about her sister-in-law's unfortunate experience.

She was so heartbroken she could hardly breathe. She hugged her husband tightly and sobbed softly in despair.

"No wonder you insisted on coming back here. This is Mumu's favorite place. No wonder... How could God be so cruel and heartless?"

Mumu just graduated; she's in the prime of her youth, and hasn't even had a chance to fully enjoy life yet.

"Why must I endure such pain and torment..." Liao Jiaqi sobbed uncontrollably, her words caught in her throat, and she could no longer continue.

Ruan Haohao felt heartbroken. He hugged his wife tightly with all his might, remaining silent, hoping that his embrace could convey some warmth and strength to her.

"Qiqi, don't cry. Mumu doesn't know about this yet. You need to act normal."

"Otherwise, with her sensitive personality, she would soon find out about her condition..." Ruan Haohao said solemnly.

Liao Jiaqi bit her lip tightly, trying her best to hold back her tears.

She took a deep breath, as if telling herself, "I must be strong, I can't let Mumu find out."

However, her slightly trembling voice betrayed her inner pain and helplessness.

Seeing Liao Jiaqi in such pain, Ruan Haohao felt a pang of heartache.

He gently reached out and wiped away Liao Jiaqi's tears, tenderly comforting her, "Yes, we all have to be strong."

You should also keep an eye on Mom; she's even more heartbroken than we are.

Liao Jiaqi nodded silently, indicating that she understood. She knew that they must face this difficulty together now, instead of being defeated by grief.

At dinner time, although Ruan Mumu felt a little tired, she still insisted on coming downstairs to have dinner with her family.

At the dinner table, everyone tried to avoid mentioning that painful topic and strived to create a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.

After dinner, the family sat around the sofa in the living room and watched a comedy movie together.

The film's hilarious scenes made everyone laugh, with laughter echoing throughout.

Ruan Mumu, in particular, was smiling very happily, as if she had temporarily forgotten her physical discomfort.

At this moment, Ruan Haohao suddenly seemed to remember something and said to Liao Jiaqi with a smile, "Qiqi, you don't know, Mumu was very naughty when she was little."

She often climbed trees with the boys to steal bird eggs and went fishing in the river.

And besides, she doesn't like to keep her hair long; she always has short hair, making her look like a complete tomboy!

After he finished speaking, everyone burst into laughter.

Recalling the fun things that happened in her childhood, Ruan Mumu couldn't help but show a bright smile.

At that moment, the house was filled with laughter and joy, as if all their troubles had left them behind.

However, behind this joy, everyone except Ruan Mumu carried an unspeakable heaviness in their hearts.

The family spent two warm and pleasant days at their country villa.

Even her younger brother, Ruan Yanyan, who lives in Bincheng, made a special trip back to celebrate his sister's recovery and discharge from the hospital.

Over the past two days, the family has done many meaningful things together.

They came to the riverbank that Ruan Mumu loved most and admired the beautiful sunset;

Under the banyan tree that witnessed countless beautiful childhood memories, we took a series of happy family photos.

They also planted osmanthus trees, symbolizing good fortune, and magnolia trees, symbolizing elegance and purity, in the courtyard of the villa.

They each recorded a precious video to remember themselves twenty years from now...

On the evening of the third day, Ruan Mumu suggested going to the rooftop open-air balcony with its glass cover to watch the beautiful sunset.

The whole family happily accompanied him, sitting around on the balcony, enjoying tea and chatting, and immersing themselves in the picturesque sunset scenery.

Just as everyone was chatting and laughing happily, the observant Ruan Yanyan noticed that her sister seemed a little strange.

The older sister's head was limply resting against the back of the wheelchair, her eyes closed.

He was startled and quickly went over to his sister, gently shaking her shoulder and asking with concern, "Sister, what's wrong...?"

Before she could finish speaking, her sister's body suddenly tilted to one side, and she almost fell to the ground.

In a flash, Ruan Yanyan caught her sister's body as she was about to fall, and cried out anxiously, "Sister! Are you alright? Mom and Dad, Big Brother, come quick..."

Everyone was shocked and rushed over. Ruan Haohao and his younger brother worked together to help Ruan Mumu up, but they saw that she had a smile on her face and her eyes were closed.

Zhang Yufang collapsed to the ground. Seeing his wife's desperate expression, Ruan Wanfu quickly hugged her tightly.

Liao Jiaqi shouted loudly, "Aunt Wu, Aunt Wu, call 120 quickly!" Then she ran to Zhang Yufang's side and helped her father-in-law help her mother-in-law sit up.

Soon, the ambulance arrived.

A short while later, the doctor coldly announced: "The patient has been confirmed to have no vital signs."

The family was plunged into endless grief...
