Chapter 104 Injured and Hospitalized
I picked up the broken pregnancy test stick and put it back in the music box.
I felt relatively calm, after all, in my previous life I even accepted their illegitimate child.
After going downstairs, I had lunch first, and then I received a call from my mother, "Xiaoyue, have you eaten?"
Ever since I went back last time and was kicked out by my dad, I haven’t had any contact with my mom. I don’t dare to contact her, and she must have been repeatedly warned by my dad not to contact me.
"I just finished eating, Mom, what's wrong?" I asked.
"No, your father has a meeting today and won't be back until nine in the evening. And your brother happens to be on holiday, so I wanted to ask you to go shopping with me." my mother replied.
Of course I wanted to go, but I was worried that my mom’s current condition wouldn’t allow her to go out. If my dad found out, there would definitely be a quarrel.
I don't want them to quarrel.
"Aren't you afraid that your father will blame you?" I hesitated.
"He doesn't know. Don't worry, your brother won't say anything." As soon as my mother finished speaking, Li Qingming's voice sounded beside her.
"Sister! I will never tell Dad!"
The young voice was full of anticipation.
I couldn't help but feel soft-hearted. I missed my mom so much, and it seemed easy for me to get close to this brother who I had no feelings for.
"Okay, where shall we meet?" I asked.
My mother gave me an address, and I hung up the phone and rushed over.
Li Qingming was a little kid after all, and he liked places like amusement parks very much. My mother chose a large indoor playground. After we met, she waved to me while holding Li Qingming’s hand.
Li Qingming already knew who I was, and he called me very affectionately, "Sister!"
He had called me sister before, but it felt different.
The name he called me was because he knew we were related by blood, and it came out with a sense of intimacy.
I felt a little embarrassed instead, “Yeah.”
My mother took my hand and said, "Xiaoyue, he obviously wants to go to the playground. Let's go with him first. Let him play and we can chat."
"good."
After we arrived at the amusement park together, I bought an admission ticket for Li Qingming. After watching him go in, my mother and I sat on a chair outside and chatted.
"Mom, did my dad scold you last time?" I asked proactively.
My mother sighed, “It’s not a scolding, it’s just that he kept nagging me and not allowing me to contact you. Your father is an old stubborn person, you know, he just doesn’t like Shen Yixiao, no matter what he is like now.”
I know this clearly in my heart. Even if Shen Yixiao becomes a great hero, my dad will not like him.
I smiled awkwardly, not knowing what else to say.
My mother didn't talk to me about my father, but just chatted with me. After a while, she took out a purple scarf from her bag. It had some small white flowers woven on it. It was very beautiful.
"The weather is getting colder, so I knitted a scarf for you. I know you're not short of money now, so you can buy it. Just don't dislike it." My mother was actually worried that I would dislike it.
I took the scarf with joy, but a feeling of sadness arose in my heart. This was the year I left home. I inadvertently asked my mother for a purple hand-knitted scarf, and she would knit one for me in winter.
I didn't expect that after I followed Shen Yixiao, there would be no further mention of this scarf.
My mother still remembers that I wanted a purple scarf with small white flowers on it.
Tears welled up in my eyes, but I tried hard not to let them fall.
"Xiaoyue, don't blame your dad. It's not easy for him either." My mother spoke softly after a long time and mentioned my dad again.
How could I blame my dad? From childhood to adulthood, although he was strict, he also gave me the best fatherly love.
Moreover, my grandparents favored boys over girls, but my father insisted on having only me. If I had not been so rebellious later, Li Qingming would never have appeared.
I will definitely make him unable to hold his head up in front of his grandparents.
My father has such a strong self-esteem that when my grandparents and other relatives tell him that daughters are not as good as sons, he always brings me up and says that I am his pride.
As a result, what I did later was so childish and ridiculous that he must have been ridiculed a lot in front of his relatives and friends.
Otherwise they wouldn't have been abroad for so many years.
"Mom, I won't blame my dad. It was me who was ignorant at the time." I said softly.
My mother then smiled and breathed a sigh of relief.
We chatted for more than an hour. Li Qingming was tired, so we went shopping and had a meal together. Li Qingming was very outgoing. In just one afternoon, he had become very familiar with me. He praised me for being beautiful, gentle, and kind...
"By the way, Xiaoyue, I'm going to the hospital. Do you want to go with me?" my mother suddenly asked me.
"Hospital? Mom, are you feeling unwell?" I was extremely worried.
My mother shook her head, "I'm fine, it's Zhengnan who's in the hospital."
Xu Zhengnan is in the hospital? !
He was fine yesterday, why was he in the hospital?
Seeing my puzzled expression, my mother explained, "I don't know what happened to the child. His arm was injured, but he didn't go to the hospital for treatment. He drove back overnight last night. As a result, he went to the hospital early this morning. The wound was infected and he had a fever."
I immediately thought of the injury he got because of me. At that time, he refused to show me the wound, and I thought it was not serious.
I didn't expect that he was so incapable of taking care of himself that he didn't even go to the hospital!
"I...I'll go with you." I replied.
My mother nodded.
Then we drove to the hospital, and my mother took me to find Xu Zhengnan's ward. He was not lying on the bed to rest, but sitting on a chair, working on his laptop.
"Brother Zhengnan!" The little guy Li Qingming shouted loudly as soon as he entered the door, and ran over to hug Xu Zhengnan's waist.
He was wearing a black and white striped sweatshirt, with his left sleeve rolled up, revealing a part of his forearm, which was bandaged. This was probably the hand that was injured.
Hearing Li Qingming's voice, he turned his head to look at us, and touched Li Qingming who was hugging his waist with his uninjured hand.
"Aunt Bai." He greeted her in a gentle voice.
I stood at the door of the ward to shield myself, feeling a little embarrassed to go in.
My mother turned around and called me, "Xiaoyue, come in, aren't you here to visit Zhengnan?"
I then took a step hesitantly and walked into the ward, holding an exquisite fruit basket in my hand, "Xu Zhengnan, I came to see you."
When Xu Zhengnan saw that I had come, his expression did not change, and his tone was calm, "Well, thank you."
In front of my mother, he didn't show me a bad face, which was considered to give my mother some face.
"Are you okay? Is the fever gone?" I closed the door, walked closer and asked softly.
Xu Zhengnan looked down at his arm, then looked up at me with a calm expression, "Well, I'm done."
I breathed a sigh of relief and stood next to my mother like a decoration, not knowing what else to say.
