She took out her phone, lowered her eyes, and typed, "What illness does Mom have?"
Mr. Fang licked his dry lips, stood up shakily, staggered, and looked like he was about to fall.
He reached out to grab Zhu Hao, but Zhu Hao's eyes flickered, and she retreated even faster.
Finally, Fang Ming strode forward and helped his father up with both hands.
Fang Ming, with his arm around his father, looked up at Zhu Hao in disbelief, "You..."
Zhu Hao pursed her lips, tightened her grip on the phone, and tapped the screen, gesturing for Fang Ming to look.
Fang Ming ignored him and was about to reprimand Zhu Hao for his behavior when his father subtly tugged at his wrist.
Fang Ming choked, glancing at Tang Song's gloomy face out of the corner of his eye. He swallowed his rebuke, the words swirling in his throat before he finally managed to utter, "Mom's heart condition has relapsed, it's acute, and she's still being resuscitated."
As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Ming looked up and glanced at the operating room behind him, his voice tense, "She collapsed because she knew you hated her and didn't want to go back to the Fang family to see her, and she became emotionally agitated."
Mr. Fang, panting heavily, weakly scolded, "Shut up! Your mother hasn't been feeling well lately, and this time she was hospitalized because she got emotional! What does this have to do with your sister?"
Fang Ming lowered his eyes, his lips tightened, and patted his father's back to soothe him while softly agreeing, "Yes, I understand."
Zhu Hao's eyelashes trembled slightly as he stared at the two of them, a hint of doubt flashing through his mind.
Does Fang's mother have heart disease?
How could she not know?
She remembered that Fang's mother was in excellent health, even better than her own; she could run several kilometers in one go without getting out of breath.
Two years ago, when they found her, Fang's mother saw her on the street and rushed towards her aggressively.
The sight terrified her; she thought she had encountered human traffickers. She turned and ran, heading straight for the police station.
Before she even reached the police station, Fang's mother caught up with her, calling out "Daughter!" repeatedly, her eyes brimming with tears, leaving Fang completely bewildered.
She struggled desperately but couldn't escape; Fang's mother was incredibly strong. Finally, a passerby called the police, which cleared up the misunderstanding, and the mother and daughter were reunited.
How could it be that in just two years, he not only developed heart disease but also had to undergo surgery?
Zhu Hao hesitated, but couldn't help worrying, "When did Mom develop heart disease?"
When Fang's father saw the words on the screen, his expression froze slightly. He quickly realized what Fang Ming had said earlier and continued, "Two years ago, after you left..."
Zhu Hao pursed her lips, put down her phone, and stared intently at Fang's father, waiting for him to continue.
Mr. Fang seemed to be overwhelmed with grief, gasping for breath and unable to speak.
Fang Ming continued, "It was diagnosed two years ago. The doctor said it was acute heart disease. My mother's health has been quite poor for the past two years."
After they finished speaking, the father and son fell silent, seemingly overwhelmed with grief as they thought about what Fang's mother had gone through in the past two years, unable to extricate themselves from their sorrow.
"How long have you been inside?" Tang Song asked suddenly, standing to Zhu Hao's right rear.
[Nonsense! The Fang father and son were blaming my child in every word they said! They even tried to pin her mother's illness on the child! I'm furious! I'm furious! She didn't even take care of her own health, yet she's blaming this and that! She's completely insane! The whole family is sick, no wonder they raised such a heartless wretch as Fang Ling!]
[They're playing good cop/bad cop! The older brother was about to yell at his younger sibling, but he held it back! What kind of brother is that?! What kind of brother acts like that? His first words to his sister after two years of separation weren't to ask how she was doing, but to scold her. It's ridiculous! Humph!! I absolutely will not allow my child to return to this kind of home!!]
Zhu Hao's eyes widened slightly, and she finally realized where the inexplicable strange feeling in her heart came from.
The father and son in front of her, just like two years ago, used their so-called good intentions to shift the blame onto her.
Her lips tightened, she took two steps back to stand shoulder to shoulder with Tang Song, and looked up at him.
Tang Song lowered his head slightly, staring at her with concern, his eyes asking what was wrong.
[Huh? What's wrong with the cub? Does it have something to say to me? Have you been brainwashed by the Fang family father and son, saying you want to stay in the hospital, stay with the Fang family? I don't agree! I don't agree! I don't agree! The cub is mine!]
Best wishes. Her eyes softened into a pool of water, and her hand accidentally touched a warm, fluffy tuft of fur.
Her fingertips curled slightly, grasping Tang Song's tail tip in the air. The chill that had been creeping into her heart was replaced by a warm feeling that made her feel incredibly comfortable.
Zhu Hao stood side by side with Tang Song, and she reached exactly at Tang Song's shoulder.
One is aloof and solemn, the other is delicate and lovely; they look extremely well-matched.
It seemed that only now did Fang's father realize Tang Song's presence. Fang Ming also turned his gaze to Tang Song, scrutinizing him closely, but he couldn't hide the greed in his eyes.
Tang Song frowned slightly, took half a step forward, and turned to shield Zhu Hao behind him.
[Damn it, the Fang family are obviously no good people!! One more look and they're all trash!]
Mr. Fang's eyes narrowed slightly, his face showing a look of recollection. He seemed not to be very familiar with Tang Song, and he hesitated before asking, "You... are the one who took my daughter away two years ago?"
Tang Song ignored him with a cold face and glanced at the closed door of the operating room.
Fang Ming's eyes flickered slightly, his tone unconsciously ingratiating and friendly, "Is he your brother-in-law?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the corridor fell silent, as if it had been frozen.
Zhu Hao felt her cheeks burning and quickly withdrew her hand that was loosely holding Tang Song's tail.
【Aaaaah!! What are you yelling about?! I'm still the parent of the cubs!! Parent!! What gives you the right to call me brother-in-law?! Who do you think you are?!】
Tang Song's face grew increasingly grim, and he exhaled heavily, "I asked her how long she'd been inside?"
The cold, sharp voice pulled everyone back to reality.
Mr. Fang couldn't help but shudder, and subconsciously murmured, "Three hours."
Tang Song's jaw tightened, he nodded slightly, pulled Zhu Hao back a few steps, and stood imposingly by the wall.
Zhu Hao glanced at Tang Song secretly, pursed her lips, and looked at his straight wolf ears. She clasped her hands in front of her and stood quietly beside him.
Fang's father and Fang Ming were speechless for a moment; neither of them had expected Tang Song to be so indifferent.
They looked at each other and exchanged glances.
We must proceed gradually and not be too hasty.
Mr. Fang patted Fang Ming's hand and looked at Zhu Hao, who was standing there. "Zhu Hao? Come sit here with Dad and wait."
Zhu Hao stared straight ahead at the ground, completely unaware of Fang's father.
Tang Song also treated them like they were invisible.
Mr. Fang was not embarrassed. He sat down naturally and resumed his previous posture, his dejected demeanor mixed with an undisguised sense of joy.
Two minutes later, Zhu Qing arrived, followed by a group of doctors and a line of bodyguards.
The lead bodyguard carefully placed two large but comfortable-looking sofas in front of Zhu Hao.
Zhu Hao sat down comfortably and naturally accepted the blanket and water glass offered by Tang Song.
The Fang father and son secretly imprinted the scene of Tang Song taking care of Zhu Hao in their hearts, their eyes filled with surprise.
