Liao Nanxing clenched his fists in anger.
He returned from Qing'an so that he could settle things at the company and then find the time to deal with Nini's problem.
As a result, the old lady caused this trouble again when he wasn't paying attention.
I'm afraid that when I see Zhou Chunhua again, she will hate me even more.
"Nanxing! I posted the apology video online just to beg for her forgiveness! Otherwise, as long as she holds a grudge against me, she won't let us see Nini. How many more days can I live? All I wanted was to make up for the mistakes I made back then before I died!"
"Could it be... that what I'm doing is wrong?"
In the end, Xu Xiuzhen burst into tears, feeling wronged: "Everyone makes mistakes in their life! I've already humbled myself so much, but Zhou Chunhua not only doesn't appreciate it, she even made a scene at your place!"
I...I really don't know what to do to get her to forgive me so I can see Nini one last time before I die.
"Mom..." Liao Nanxing quickly went up and handed Xu Xiuzhen a piece of paper.
He just watched the videos the old lady posted online.
In the video, the old lady did not speak ill of Zhou Chunhua. On the contrary, just as the old lady had said, she humbly admitted her mistake and begged for Zhou Chunhua's forgiveness.
It must have been the old lady's unusual attitude that caused Zhou Chunhua's misunderstanding.
"Mom, don't cry. You have a heart condition, and the doctor advised you not to get too emotional. It's all my fault that things have turned out this way. I'll call her later and explain."
Xu Xiuzhen wiped away her tears and sighed, "Tell her that I was wrong before, but after what Nini has been through, she can't live without her father!"
Besides, only a mother knows how difficult her situation is as a woman raising a child alone. Tell me, wasn't my decision to let you remarry her for her and Nini's sake?
Sigh! If she really doesn't want to remarry, we won't force her. You should try to communicate with her properly, and give her some money every month as child support for Nini. I can also help her take care of Nini, so her life will be easier.
Hearing Xu Xiuzhen's empathetic concern for Zhou Chunhua, Liao Nanxing felt deeply ashamed.
He came back and questioned the old lady without even asking her what had happened.
"Okay. I'll talk to her properly." Seeing that the old lady had stopped crying, Liao Nanxing returned to his study.
He glanced at the wall clock, took out his phone, and dialed Zhou Chunhua's number.
Just as he was busy figuring out how to convince Zhou Chunhua to believe the old lady, the phone rang with a series of busy tones.
He looked closely at the number he had dialed, unable to believe his eyes...
Damn it!
Zhou Chunhua has blocked him again!
...
In the other ward, four people, two adults and two children, were sitting around the coffee table eating.
Zhou Chunhua looked at her daughter with a worried expression, wondering what to do or say to get the little girl to eat some more.
Since leaving Ganxi Village, Nini has hardly eaten anything.
At the beginning of each meal, I would wolf down a few bites and then stop eating.
As a result, Nini's health deteriorated.
Recently, doctors have started adding intravenous nutrition.
Just as Zhou Chunhua was troubled by this, she heard Tongtong's childish voice say, "Sister, try this, it's delicious."
When she came to her senses, she saw Tongtong holding a piece of meat and bringing it to Nini's mouth.
Without thinking, Nini opened her mouth as if it were a habit and ate it.
This shocked Zhou Chunhua so much that her jaw dropped to the floor.
This... she even thought she was seeing things.
The next second, Tongtong fed Nini another piece.
She was so happy that she didn't dare to breathe as she looked at Gu Yao.
"Are you relieved now? You should eat more too." As he spoke, he put some more food into her bowl.
Zhou Chunhua was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes.
Her daughter, her Nini... That's wonderful!
Just as Zhou Chunhua was feeling happy, her phone beeped with a message notification.
She habitually picked up her phone and saw that it was a blocked text message.
The phone number that was automatically blocked actually belonged to Liao Nanxing.
"What's wrong?" Gu Yao suddenly asked.
She pressed the screen saver, put down her phone, and replied, "Nothing. Just spam texts."
Gu Yao didn't say anything more.
That evening, Gu Yao took Tongtong to a hotel.
Just as Zhou Chunhua was about to go to sleep, her phone rang.
She quickly picked up her phone and glanced worriedly at Nini on the hospital bed. Luckily, Nini had a habit of putting her phone on vibrate at night.
He went into the bathroom, closed the door, and then answered the phone.
"Chunhua, why did it take you so long to answer the phone?"
The familiar yet loathsome voice immediately made Zhou Chunhua frown.
"Liao Nanxing, are you sick in the head?! I've already blocked you, don't you have any self-awareness? Don't you know that the best ex should be treated like they're dead?"
"You... speak properly! Why are you talking like your rude best friend now?"
"Ha! I have nothing to say to you! If you have something to say, say it. If not, have some shame and don't bother me again! Otherwise, I'll call the police!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Liao Nanxing on the other end went silent.
But his heavy, rapid breathing already indicated that he was furious to the extreme.
However, she doesn't care whether Liao Nanxing is angry or not now.
He simply said, "I'm hanging up now! Don't call me again!"
After saying that, he was about to hang up the phone.
"Wait!" Liao Nanxing's voice came through the receiver.
Zhou Chunhua frowned and withdrew her hand.
"I know you're still angry with me. But as long as you're still angry with me, it means you still care about me and still have me in your heart! Chunhua, for the sake of our daughter, let's remarry, okay?"
She's already pitiful enough for not being around us growing up. If you were to make her face a broken family on top of that, do you think she could cope?
I beg you, please stop being so selfish and only think of yourself. Think about Nini too.
"I'm selfish?" Zhou Chunhua was so angry she laughed.
"Liao Nanxing, how dare you call me selfish? Have you forgotten what you said when Nini went missing? Fine! I'll help you remember!"
You said, "She's just a little girl! Losing her is no big deal!" While I was busy searching everywhere for Nini, what were you, as her father, doing?
"Oh, right, back then, you were busy sending me to a mental hospital so you'd have time to fool around with your mistress! Someone like you dares to call me selfish! Liao Nanxing, there's a limit to shamelessness!"
"I... how could I say that!" Liao Nanxing frowned.
He had no recollection of what Zhou Chunhua had said.
"Although... I did send you to a mental hospital, wasn't that for the sake of this family and for your health?"
