Living Dead's

Chapter 11 - My daughter Feifei

"FEY-FEE!"

Shen Yuan ran over to Feifei who was lying on the road. He could see blood gushing out from the wound on his calf, flowing up to the ankle.

Feifei's body trembled and flinched. Shen Yuan directly carried him into his arms. Shen Yuan's hands shook violently, his head was empty, and his face was pale.

Feifei opened his eyes, saying in a weak voice, "Dad..."

"Honey, Feifei! Look at daddy baby, look at daddy!" Shen Yuan shouted, not even realizing that her voice was shaking so much.

Feifei whispered, "Dad, I got bitten. Am I going to be a zombie?"

Shen Yuan's eyes felt hot, holding back the tears that would flow from both of his eyes.

"You're not going to be a zombie. I'll treat your wounds in the car. You, you'll be fine." Shen Yuan touched his cheek, then rubbed it slowly.

"But all those who were bitten turned into zombies..."

Shen Yuan was silent.

"Did you forget, you used to be a doctor." Shen Yuan stroked Feifei's hair and said slowly, "Soon, you'll be fine."

After saying that, Shen Yuan carried Feifei towards the back seat and entered with him. He leaned Feifei on the car seat and started looking for bandages.

Shen Yuan poured alcohol into Feifei's blackened wound and covered it with a white bandage.

Shen Yuan pointed towards Feifei's wound, "See? The blood has stopped."

After tidying up the items, Shen Yuan sat down with Feifei on his lap. Feifei leaned his head into his father's warm embrace.

"Dad, I'm scared." Feifei said softly.

Shen Yuan tightened his embrace around Feifei. With a hoarse voice replied, "It's okay, don't be afraid. Dad's here."

A single tear fell from the corner of Feifei's eye. To hide it, he buried his face into his father's chest.

Feifei said in a muffled voice, "Dad, I'm sleepy."

"Alright, sleep. When you wake up, you'll be healed." Shen Yuan patted Feifei on the back, helping him to sleep faster.

After seeing Feifei fall asleep, Shen Yuan could not hold him back anymore, he raised his head, biting his lips hard so that his voice would not come out. Her tears rolled without her control, she cried without a sound.

God, God, Buddha, why are you so cruel...

I only have my daughter...

I only have my daughter!

Why you took it too

Feiffe...

That day was March. Where the flowers bloom beautifully. The sky is bright blue with the morning sun shining warm.

Around nine in the morning, Shen Yuan was already waiting anxiously in front of the operating room. He could not sit wittyly, intermittently standing and intermittently pacing back and forth.

The nurse who passed by immediately knew from her behavior that she was waiting for the birth of her first child.

After two hours of waiting that was like two centuries, and those two hours were like exhausting all of Shen Yuan's patience, the door of the operating room was finally opened.

Shen Yuan directly barged in before being welcome. First he saw his wife lying weakly on the bed, but thank God it was still fine.

Then a nurse handed the bathed baby into Shen Yuan's arms. At first Shen Yuan's movements were very awkward and rigid, confused as to how to carry her. He was afraid of making mistakes and ended up dropping them.

But the nurse kindly said, "Directly close to the chest, and do not hesitate when carrying it. Well, like that."

Shen Yuan followed the nurse's instructions, and her movements became less awkward.

With the baby, Shen Yuan approached his wife's bed.

Shen Yuan softly said, "Qinian, take a look."

Jiang Qinian, still weakly opened his eyes. He saw Shen Yuan carrying his daughter with a gentle smile that filled his face and his eyes were radiating affection. Jiang Qinian had only first seen such an expression on Shen Yuan's face. Then he also replied with a smile until his eyes curved like a crescent moon.

Since the baby was born in a weakened state, he should not stay outside for too long, and should go inside the incubator.

When his wife had the power, Shen Yuan would push the wheelchair for his wife to use and walk to her son's incubator room.

Outside the incubator, Jiang Qinian excitedly said, "A-yuan, look at our daughter, isn't she very pretty?"

Shen Yuan looked at the baby in the incubator. His eyes were closed, his hair was fine black, and his face was round. His skin looked very soft as if it would be broken with a single touch. Indeed, her son was very cute and beautiful.

Shen Yuan softly replied, "Right."

"Let's name Feifei."

Shen Yuan looked at his wife's eyes shining with joy, and her heart was delighted. This kind of warm feeling, Shen Yuan would never forget it.

But after that, tragedy happened.

His wife, Jiang Qinian died, a week after giving birth to Feifei.

Shen Yuan suffered from severe depression, until she had to take anti-depressant drugs.

Shen Yuan was immersed in mental and physical exhaustion. He had to work and take care of Feifei. Many times he felt unable to bear it and thought about ending his life. However upon seeing the face of his young daughter, Shen Yuan undoes his intentions. Who will take care of him if he dies? How could he have the face to meet his wife later?

Her daughter was the only reason Shen Yuan had to live in the world. She already had no one else in this world other than her daughter. For her daughter's sake she's willing to do anything, give whatever she wants. As long as his daughter is happy.

***

Shen Yuan already had a plan. If his daughter turns into a zombie, with his own hands he will kill her. Then after that, he himself would kill himself.

But after an hour, his daughter showed no signs of early change into a zombie. Generally, in less than an hour, a human infected through a bite would instantly turn into a zombie.

Shen Yuan carefully removed the bandage that was on her daughter's calf. The wound does not turn festering or foul-smelling. The wound that was gaping now is dry, like a scar that will peel off and grow new skin. Feeling shocked, Shen Yuan quickly grabbed Feifei's wrist. His pulse was stable, neither increasing fast nor slow.

Shen Yuan hugged Feifei tightly. In the car with the heating on, the warm light of the rising sun began to enter through the glass.

Shen Yuan started to feel sleepy, the two days without sleep really felt heavy. After seeing all the windows of the car locked, he subconsciously fell asleep with Feifei still in his arms.

The winter sun was light and not cruel, shining down on every corner in the car, until particles of dust could be seen floating in the air. As the sunlight fell on Feifei, his eyelashes trembled slightly.
