Melissa clenched her fists tightly, watching the two people being affectionate, and ultimately chose to leave.

-

Life at the hospital returned to normal after Melissa left.

Xu Wan stayed with Jiang Tingzhou at the sanatorium for a whole month, and after the man recovered, she accompanied him in his rehabilitation training.

The day before Xu Wan was to return to China, she accompanied the man to complete his rehabilitation for the day. After dinner, Jiang Tingzhou sat in a wheelchair, and Xu Wan pushed him to take a walk in the garden.

As evening fell, the setting sun bathed the mountaintop in a golden glow, gilding the entire white sanatorium.

Although the man has been doing rehabilitation during this period, because he hasn't walked for so long, his leg muscles are almost gone, and recovery will be a long process.

There are still more than twenty days until Children's Day. Xu Wan watched her husband recover and knew very well that it was absolutely impossible for him to walk to Xiaoxiao's kindergarten party on Children's Day.

She hesitated for a moment and asked, "When do you plan to go back to China?"

"I promised Xiaoxiao I'd go back on June 1st, so I'll go back on June 1st."

Jiang Tingzhou spoke with great certainty.

He understands his situation, but no matter how much his leg recovers, his decision to return to China on June 1st will not change.

"What about after you return to China? Will you do rehabilitation in the hospital or..." Xu Wan paused for a moment, then said, "I think Xiaoxiao is very sensible. No matter how you go to the party, as long as you go, she will be happy and will not blame you for being in a wheelchair."

Xu Wanneng understood Jiang Tingzhou's thoughts.

The man didn't want to embarrass Xiaoxiao because of him, but sometimes physical matters aren't entirely up to him.

Rehabilitation training that takes six months or even longer cannot be completed in two months.

“I know, I know what I’m doing.” Jiang Tingzhou held the woman’s hand. “After returning to China, I will go to Yanli for rehabilitation training. I may need to stay at the Shenghe Rehabilitation Center for a short period of time. I will go home once my condition stabilizes.”

Xu Wan squatted down and looked up at the man in the wheelchair. "Okay, don't be stubborn. As long as you're here, I don't mind whether your leg recovers sooner or later."

Jiang Tingzhou reached out and picked up the woman who was squatting on the side of the wheelchair, letting her sit in his lap.

He buried his face in the woman's neck, tightened his arms around her waist, and after a long while said, "Actually... I don't want you to leave."

The man's voice was low and husky, almost like he was being coquettish.

They've been apart for too long.

They finally got together, only to be forced to separate time and time again.

“My passport has expired. If I stay any longer, I’ll be considered an illegal immigrant. Maybe I should go back to China and then come back.”

Xu Wan was equally reluctant to part with her man.

During the time she stayed with him here, it was just the two of them, each day only for each other, without having to think about anything else.

Happiness felt like a dream.

Xu Wan also hoped that such moments could last a little longer.

Otherwise, once they return to the North City, there will be many, many things waiting for them, and it will be difficult to have such time together again.

Jiang Tingzhou held the woman in his arms for a long time before raising his head and gently shaking his head. "Never mind, Xiaoxiao needs you too. I can't keep you all to myself. When we get back, we'll have plenty of time to be together."

"good."

Xu Wan agreed.

The two stayed in the garden for a long time, until the sun went down before returning home.

Xu Wan returned to China on a private plane arranged by Jiang Tingzhou.

It landed at around 1 p.m. China time.

Xu Wan took a car home. When she entered the house, Xu Pingrong was hanging up laundry on the balcony. He turned around and saw Xu Wan come in. He was stunned for a moment, then his face lit up with joy as he said, "Daughter, you're here?"

As Xu Pingrong spoke, he peeked behind Xu Wan to make sure no one was there, then asked, "Where's your son-in-law? Didn't he come back with you?"

“His leg still needs rehabilitation, and he’ll be back in about two weeks,” Xu Wan explained.

Xu Pingrong put the clothes in his hand on the sofa and walked over quickly.

While helping Xu Wan with her luggage, she said, "I didn't know you were coming back, so I promised to go to your aunt's house for dinner tonight. Now that you're back, let's go pick up Xiao Xiao together and go together."

"Okay." Xu Wan agreed. "I'll pick up Xiaoxiao. You can go directly to your aunt's house."

Xu Pingrong did not refuse.

Xu Wan packed her luggage and took Lü Wei's car to Xiao Xiao's kindergarten.

She had just picked Xiaoxiao up from class when she saw a woman leading a pair of twin boys downstairs.

Xu Wan recognized him at a glance.

This woman is An Yunya.
