Huo Beichen didn't speak, but his deep, composed eyes clearly held a lot of unspoken words.
After the doctor left, he said, "That patient is Sun Xiaowei's assistant. No one can save her."
Upon hearing this, Hua Fei and A Yue were both taken aback.
A-Yue was very perceptive. She took Ze-ze's hand and said, "Let's go buy food for Mom."
Only Huo Beichen and Hua Fei remained in the ward.
Some things can be said openly now.
"Did you investigate Sun Xiaowei?" Hua Fei asked.
These days, Gu Fanyan must have told Huo Beichen everything she had experienced.
Huo Beichen sat down beside her and held her hand tightly.
The warmth of his palm seeped into her heart little by little.
This warmth felt both strange and familiar.
"You've suffered so much, why didn't you tell me?" he asked in a sorrowful tone.
"I……"
"You think I, like Sun Xiaowei, want to harm you, right?" he asked.
"She is your fiancée..."
"If you had told me all this earlier, would she still be my fiancée?" he asked rhetorically.
Hua Fei pursed her lips speechlessly.
"Why aren't you saying anything?" he asked.
"You've already got all the logic, what am I supposed to say?" She was really annoyed.
"What's your reasoning?" he asked. "You've faced so much danger, and you've never thought to ask me for help. What am I to you?"
"Don't tell me you think I have the same thoughts as Sun Xiaowei. Do you think I'm a vicious person?"
As he spoke, his eyes involuntarily reddened.
Hua Fei sighed softly, "I thought that not being loved was the original sin..."
"Who says you're not loved?" he said, seemingly a little anxious.
Hua Fei's beautiful eyes shone brightly, radiating brilliance.
A blush crept across Huo Beichen's cheeks, and he immediately changed the subject, "Where's my son? Why didn't you take good care of him?"
Upon hearing this, Hua Fei lowered her eyes, and the shimmering light from before vanished instantly.
"I...I didn't mean that..." Huo Beichen was flustered when his secret was exposed, and now he realized that he had said the wrong thing, but it was too late to take it back.
“I promise you,” he added immediately, “I will find the child.”
Hua Fei was slightly taken aback: "Isn't Sun Xiaowei's companion..."
“That’s not our son at all,” Huo Beichen shook his head. “I’ve already figured it out.”
Hua Fei was stunned, unsure whether to feel sad or happy, but tears were already streaming down her face.
I thought there was hope, but it turned out to be just a dream.
Where is her child?!
"Don't worry!" Huo Beichen felt a pang in his heart, and with a forceful pull, he pressed her into his broad embrace. "We will find him, we definitely will!"
"Huo Beichen, back then Sun Xiaowei harmed me and our child, did you really not know anything about it?" Hua Fei asked, choking back tears.
"It's my fault, I didn't notice." Huo Beichen was filled with guilt.
Hua Fei let her tears fall freely.
Is it all his fault?
She was also at fault; as a mother, she failed to protect her child!
She had no choice but to love the wrong person back then!
It's also her fault for not extricating herself in time!
"Don't cry," Huo Beichen gently comforted her.
Her tears had soaked his shirt.
“Huo Beichen, you must find him,” Hua Fei said, crying. “I must find him too. He shouldn’t have to bear the consequences of our mistakes.”
Huo Beichen agreed and pulled her into a tight embrace.
She felt a warm, damp sensation coming from her hair.
He also shed tears.
Hua Fei stayed in the hospital for a week before returning home to recuperate.
The family now has more caregivers. In addition to Aunt Li and Aunt Wan, there is now a nutritionist and another person specifically responsible for taking care of the children.
Huafei was speechless.
She was unconscious, not giving birth, so there was no need to take care of her with even more care than a new mother.
"Aunt Li, we don't need so many nannies at home," she said casually to Aunt Li.
"Yes, I want it!" Zeze answered first, "I don't want Mommy to get hurt again!"
Aunt Li said with a smile, "The young master really knows how to care for people."
Hua Fei affectionately pinched Ze Ze's little face.
She understood that Zeze wasn't just being compassionate; he was afraid of losing her again.
"Mom, will you leave me again?" Zeze asked.
Hua Fei reached out and hugged him: "From now on, wherever Mom goes, she will take you with her and never be separated from you again."
"What about your younger brother? When will he be back?" Zeze continued to ask.
Hua Fei gently stroked his little head, "He'll be back."
Zeze's little face was full of anticipation: "When my little brother comes back, Mom, Dad, and I will be able to reunite as a family."
Hua Fei was slightly taken aback.
Hearing this, A-Yue looked over, but then quickly turned her face away.
Zeze played for a while, then the nanny took him out to eat.
Only A-Yue and Hua-Fei remained in the room.
Ah Yue then said, "Dr. Hua, once your family is reunited, I can go home too."
Hua Fei asked, "A Yue, are you unhappy?"
A-Yue shook her head: "I'm just worried, will Huo Beichen really treat you well?"
Hua Fei recalled that day at the unfinished building, when Huo Beichen held her hand tightly, refusing to let go no matter how much pressure Sun Xiaowei exerted...
“He said something to me back then,” Hua Fei said. “He said, ‘If you die, I will die too.’”
"At that moment, I remembered many things, many of the good things he had done for me."
A-Yue asked, "I've never heard you say before that he's been good to you."
Hua Fei sighed softly: "Perhaps, people who always think they are not loved can't even distinguish between good and bad. Even if they sense it, they dare not believe it."
"So, I missed a lot of things."
“It’s not that you missed out, it’s that he realized his own shortcomings too late.” A-Yue pouted. “Dr. Hua, you should ask yourself if you still love him.”
"It's not that you should stay just because he hasn't harmed you or has been kind to you in the past."
"Besides, even if he didn't harm you, what's the story behind his engagement to Sun Xiaowei?"
Ah Yue practically said, "How could a man who truly loves you get engaged to another woman?!"
Hua Fei nodded. "You're right. I need to ask myself what I really want."
"But it's not time to decide whether to stay or leave yet, there's still no trace of my youngest son."
Ah Yue breathed a sigh of relief. Who could argue with that?
That day, Hua Fei fell asleep after receiving acupuncture.
I was awakened in the middle of the night by the sound of a car.
She sensed that a guest had arrived, so she sat up and looked out the window.
Sure enough, Lin Zhibai arrived.
He and Huo Beichen entered the villa, and following the sound of footsteps, they went to the study on the second floor.
About an hour later, the sound of a car rang out again, and Lin Zhibai was gone.
They come to my house to discuss business, but they neither eat nor drink tea. They leave right after the discussion, all very mysteriously.
As Aunt Li brought over the bird's nest, she asked, "What brings Young Master Lin to our house today?"
Aunt Li shook her head. "He's probably discussing business with President Huo."
Discussing business?
Then it's not appropriate for Huafei to get involved.
