Reborn Action Star: Starting in Hollywood

Chapter 207 Every Family Has Its Own Difficulties
"I said I won't get a divorce." Meng Tao repeated it again, his attitude very firm.

"Tell me the reason." Lin Yuan knew that Meng Tao must have his own reasons. Being so rational, he would not be a coward without bottom line.

"She was once my spiritual support and saved me from a helpless situation. That was nine years ago..."

As Meng Tao spoke in a low voice, a story about his past unfolded before Lin Yuan...

……

……

Eight years ago, in the patient family interview room at Matilda International Hospital in Hong Kong Island.

Meng Tao and his wife sat together, and next to them were Meng Tao's parents.

Some time ago, Meng Tao's father came to the hospital for examination because of severe back pain at night.

The experienced doctor immediately arranged a CT scan, and the results came out quickly: small cell lung cancer.

This diagnosis caught Meng Tao off guard: he didn't expect that his father would face the test of life and death at such a young age.

His family's financial situation...

At this point, it was a conversation about the life and death of his father.

The attending physician explained the patient's condition, progress, treatment plan, risks, and other precautions in detail, and then said solemnly:
"The old man's health is very poor, and he needs treatment as soon as possible. Now, you family members should discuss whether to treat him or not."

After the doctor said this, he stood up and left the conversation room, leaving them the space for communication.

After the doctor left, the remaining four people looked at each other, but no one spoke. The atmosphere was dead silent.

Meng Tao looked up at himself in the mirror: he looked to be in his twenties, wearing a washed-out coat, with an unshaven face, looking tired and disheveled, but this could not hide his handsome face.

But is being handsome useful?
Can I bring back my father's life?
For the first time, Meng Tao hated himself for being so useless.

"Cough... cough cough..." A violent cough broke the silence.

The father bent down in pain, took out a napkin from his pocket and covered his mouth.

But Meng Tao could clearly see spots of blood on the back of the tissue.

The mother beside him patted her husband's back with heartache, carefully handed him a thermos and motioned him to drink some water.

When my father felt better, my mother opened her mouth several times with difficulty to speak, but no sound came out, only two lines of tears rolled down her face.

Finally, she spoke: "Xiao Tao, don't feel embarrassed. Your father and I discussed it a few days ago. We won't treat this disease..."

"mom……"

Meng Tao was about to speak when his mother interrupted him: "The treatment alone will cost over 800,000 yuan, and there's no guarantee it will be cured. Your father said he wouldn't rest in peace if he lost everything."

"We, as your parents, are incompetent and can't help you in any way. But at least we shouldn't burden you two anymore..." the father also said.

Meng Tao instinctively wanted to speak, but couldn't utter a word.

His throat moved slightly, and in the end he only uttered an unclear "hmm".

As he uttered the word with difficulty, Meng Tao felt as if his spine was broken and all his energy was drained from his body.

Big tears blurred his eyes and his sore nose made him feel like he was suffocating.

This unfilial son decided to abandon his father just because he had no money, and had to watch his father go home and "wait to die".

Seeing his son crying, the father stepped forward and gently hugged Meng Tao: "It's okay, it's okay, everyone has this day. Don't blame yourself, we won't blame you."

With his father's comfort, Meng Tao cried even more sadly.

The mother came forward and hugged the father and son with tears in her eyes: "Let's go home and spend the last days together well."

The three men sentenced their father to death with unforgivable cruelty.

"I disagree!"

At this moment, the wife, who had been silent all the time, spoke.

"We are out of money. All our savings are gone..."

"Meng Tao, are you a man? Is this all you can do? Dad's not even fifty yet, and you're just going to watch him die?"

"Can……"

"But what's the big deal? Dad is not hopeless. Even if we have to sell everything we have and go bankrupt, we will still fulfill our responsibilities as children." The wife was very determined.

"You loser, go and get admitted to the hospital quickly, don't let me look down on you!" His wife was scolding him, but Meng Tao was not angry at all.

His wife, who always had a strong character and seemed like a shrew, was now particularly gentle and charming in his eyes, shining brightly.

The energy that had been drained away seemed to return.

"I'm only in my twenties. Even if I'm in debt, I can still make money and turn my life around. What should I be afraid of?"

……

……

Meng Tao finished telling this story with tears in his eyes.

"After that, I joined Brother Chen Long's Chen Family Class. To make money, I wasn't afraid of any danger."

"When I was away from the Chen family, she was the one who supported the whole family."

"Because of her, my father passed away peacefully in his last days."

"She was my spiritual pillar, supporting me when I was weak and helpless. I will be grateful to her for this for the rest of my life."

"I don't know why she and I have come to this point, but I still can't let her go."

Every family has its own problems, and Lin Yuan didn't know how to comfort Meng Tao.

Meng Tao looked at Lin Yuan for a long time, which made Lin Yuan feel a little uneasy.

"I envy you so much!" Meng Tao said, "I wish I could be like you and receive unconditional love from so many women."

Given the relationship between Meng Tao and Lin Yuan, Lin Yuan's ambiguous relationships are crystal clear.

"But I can't even handle one." Meng Tao sighed, "My life is a mess."

Lin Yuan sighed and added, "But she insisted on giving birth to the child."

"Maybe she really wants a child? I want to try and see if she can accept it." Meng Tao replied.

"Can you bear this?" Lin Yuan asked.

"cannot!"

"so?"

"Vent it out and compensate yourself. Then I should be able to try to accept it." Meng Tao replied.

"What do you mean?"

Just as Meng Tao was about to answer, his cell phone rang.

"The world is the most ridiculous, infatuation is the most boring, and it's okay to be arrogant..."

"When awake, I smile at people, but in dreams I forget everything and sigh that it gets dark too early..."

This cell phone ringtone... Lin Yuan could only say that it was very suitable for Meng Tao's current mood.

"Meng Tao? I'm here! Open the door!"

It was Depp's voice that came on the phone.

Meng Tao found Depp?

Lin Yuan walked to the door in confusion, opened it, and found the mean-looking Johnny Depp standing there.

"Let's go! I've already organized a party, forget your troubles! The most beautiful girls are waiting for us!

I'm telling you, you have to get some extra sleep tonight! That Miranda Kerr is super hot!

Deprat pulled Meng Tao out, and then turned back to ask Lin Yuan:
"You probably don't like gatherings with lousy people like us, right? Do you want to come?"

Lin Yuan smiled and waved his hand, indicating that they could just go and have fun by themselves.

After the two left, Lin Yuan smiled helplessly:
Although he did not approve of Meng Tao's way of dealing with the situation, where he would rather go out and have fun to make up for himself than get a divorce, everyone has their own way of living.

He chose to continue living in this patchy way, and Lin Yuan could only support him.

However, given Meng Tao's current condition, he must rest for a while, otherwise he cannot be expected to help in the next high-risk action scene.

Lin Yuan needs to face this scene alone.
