Chapter 171: NIGHTMARES
Ning Mei frequently checked Ning Jiming’s condition. She made sure he wasn’t facing any more uncomfortableness than he already was in. Ning Jiming continuously regained and lost his consciousness again and again.
Ning Jiming for once gained his consciousness for a short period of time. Everything he saw looked blurred, his ears were buzzing, and his head felt a splitting headache again. All he could remember was a vehicle crashed on with his car, he lost control of his car and it flipped.
This incident brought back those flashes that had haunted him for such a long time. That memory of 20 years ago haunted him. His family had gone for a vacation and they were returning back home, his father was driving the car, he and his mother were playing games in the backseat. And that time, he was not more than seven years.
"Mama, do you know, when you went to the washroom in that restaurant, father stole two dumplings from my plate ! " The little Ning Jiming complained with two of his fingers stucked out.
His mother at first giggled and then looked at her husband accusingly, "Is it true, dear? Did you steal my Mingming’s dumplings, when I was away?"
Ning Jiming’s father looked at the puffed up little munchkin who looked so offended sitting there with his hands folded to his chest, and his wife. He then clicked his tongue on her exposed by his son in front of his wife. Coughing a little, he lied through his teeth, "No... Why are you lying Mingming? I did not eat any of your dumplings... " He teased his son.
Little Jiming was shocked at his father’s shamelessness, and he looked as if the whole world had wronged him. His puffed his cheeks and his lips shivered. Turning to his mom, he said, " Mama, Ming Ming is not lying! Father is such a big lier! He is cheating ! " He then counted his little fingers and then said to his mother, " I had five dumplings. Father said, ’ Look, there is a crow!’ And I turned to look at it, and then there were dumplings left!
I asked father where was my dumpling, he said crow took it away. Then he again said, ’Look! There is a bear! ’ I turned again and then I had three left! And father said, that bear took my dumpling!
Now I know, there was no crow and no bear ! He is the crow! And he is the bear ! Boo hoo... Boo hoo... ! My dumplings! "
Ning Jiming’s mother looked helplessly at her kid and then accusingly at her Husband. Ning Jihao coughed again and said, " No really, the crow and the bear told me that, ’We are now eating Mingming’s dumplings! He has a good mother. She will make more dumplings for him.. ’ ".
Little Ning Jiming shook his head and said, "No. No. No. You are a big fat meanie! Bears and crowd don’t talk! "
Xia Rui, giggled at this father and son’s interaction and said, "It’s okay, Ming Ming. You are right, your father is a big fat Meanie! I will make many dumplings for you when we reach home, alright! "
Ning Jiming puffed his cheeks and said, " Really? Then he will not give father even one dumpling, okay. " Xia Rui, giggled and pinched her son’s cheeks.
Ning Jihao laughed and commented, "You mother and son pair is plotting against me, I see! "
Ning Jiming said , " Yes! We are plotting against you! Meanie Monster! "
The family were having a very good time. Ning Jihao was driving through a very narrow road. He then noticed that his car’s breaks were not working. At first, he thought maybe he was mistaken, he tried again and this time, he sensed danger.
Ning Jihao looked at his happy wife and son and he was not get any courage to break the news to them. Just when he was trying to figure out what to be done, out of nowhere a big truck collided with the car.
Before , the family of three could register what was happening to them the car flew some metres away and it flipped upside down.
The happy family in an instant suffered such horror that within seconds the three of them turned bloody and in death condition.
Xia Rui acted on her motherly instinct and had pulled her son to her chest, trying to save him from any injury, that resulted in her taking all the force of the accident. Ning Jihao in order to sheid his family, had turned towards them, resulting in all the glass pieces to stuck on his back and vital organs. He was bleeding from every part of his body.
Ning Jiming was so confused and scared. He was in tears. " Mama, father! What is happening? " Xia Rui’s breath became short, yet she consoled her son, " Nothing darling. It’s okay. Everything will be fine. Your mama and papa will not let anything happen to you, okay. "
" Mama... I am scared. " Little Jiming cried. Ning Jihao felt so useless at that moment. He couldn’t even save him child and his wife! Was there any useless man as him?! He failed as a father and as a husband!
It was then that, Ning Jihao noticed the oil dripping into the car. His heart started beating fast out of fear and concern for his family. He instantly said to his wife, " Rui! Get Mingming out of the car! Now! "
. Xia Rui turned her head and the first thing that she saw was the oil dripping, she widened her eyes and said to her son, " Mingming, listen to mama. Get out of the car. "
The little boy cried and said, "No. I won’t. I will stay with you. " Xia Rui kissed his forehead and said , "Mama, will come after you. Listen to mommy okay. Now go. " She pushed her son out with all the force she said.
Ning Jiming came out of the car, but stayed near the window for his parents.
Xia Rui then said to her son, "Mingming go away from the car. Give space for mommy and daddy to come out. " Listening to her, Ning Jiming stepped away from the car.
