Faced with her child's accusations and questions, the woman was stunned for a moment, her mouth agape, as if a mouthful of fishy-smelling liquid was stuck in her throat!
"What nonsense are you talking about? How could your mother possibly abandon you?"
However, the mother and son were unaware that a man was standing outside the door at that moment!
Xu Yuezhang had been in a state of excitement ever since she received the news last night. On her way here, she had been fantasizing about many wonderful things. But who knew that as soon as she entered the courtyard, she would hear the child crying and refusing to drink the "medicine".
That was my own child, yet I misunderstood him for two whole years! The thought of that skinny child from my memories now being sick makes my heart ache!
Just as she was about to go in, she heard the child's question. Instantly, Xu Yuezhang felt as if her heart was being ripped apart piece by piece with a knife.
"Are you really not going to abandon me?"
Just then, the boy spoke again.
Inside, the woman seemed to hesitate for a moment before answering, "No, I don't want you. Drink your medicine..."
This time, the boy was quite obedient and drank the "medicine" himself, but he didn't see the few tears that fell from the corner of his mother's eye when she deliberately turned her head away!
"Knock knock..."
The sudden knocking startled both mother and son: "Zhouzhou, drink your medicine first, Mom will go open the door!"
The woman stood up, walked to the door, opened it, and the two of them froze the moment they saw Lai Rao!
"How come it's...it's you?"
Looking at the woman who had always remained in his heart, Old Xu saw that she had lost weight and looked much more haggard... He swallowed hard.
"I read the letter you gave me, Qian, I'm sorry."
The belated apology brought tears to Zhang Qian's eyes instantly. Thinking of the child inside, she quickly closed the door!
"Xu Yuezhang, you don't need to apologize to me. You haven't wronged me at all. I was the one who chose to break up with you!"
At this moment, Zhang Qian had wiped away her tears, and her eyes held a firm determination!
"Zhouzhou is sick, and I don't want to tell him these things today. Let him rest well. You can come see him another day!"
Old Xu was very reluctant, but knowing that his child had a deep misunderstanding of him, he eventually agreed.
"Okay, please let me know when you can make this call!"
Zhang Qian took the number from the man and put it away: "Okay."
The two, who had been separated for a long time, did not exchange a single word as expected; instead, they were more distant than strangers!
"Go back home, we don't have anywhere to entertain you here! I'll call you when Zhouzhou feels a bit better!"
Old Xu really wanted to ask why he hadn't been told the truth about that chance encounter two years ago. But he held back, and the excitement that had been building up inside him all turned into a silent sigh.
Well, with the child sick, this woman is definitely not in a good mood.
"Then I'll be going now. Take good care of him, and take good care of yourself too!" He couldn't help but give these words of advice to the frail woman in front of him.
"Hmm." The voice that came out was slightly broken.
No matter how unwilling Xu Yuezhang was, he had no choice but to leave at this point!
Watching the figure gradually disappear into the courtyard, the woman finally couldn't stop crying. She squatted in the corner of the door, curled up, and didn't make a sound, silently sobbing.
"He's my dad, right?"
The sudden sound of a child's voice made the crying woman look up.
I only remembered to close the door, but I didn't notice that the window next to me was open. The child was standing behind the window, so he saw everything.
