The commotion was so loud that Jin Rulan and Xu Jiayue also went upstairs.
Xu Tingchuan was too skilled; the two guards had no chance to subdue him, and the night shift doctor also joined the fight.
Finally, the doctor had to administer a sedative to calm him down, and he was taken back to his ward downstairs.
He regained consciousness at dusk the next day, and he insisted on going to see Ni Sitian again.
Jin Rulan had no choice but to ask the doctor to make an exception, and she accompanied him upstairs, searching through the rooms one by one.
Not seeing anyone, Jin Rulan thought he should give up and face reality, but he kept muttering that Sitian must be hiding, and that she was blaming him for not being by her side when she gave birth.
He had promised before that he would be with her in the delivery room and take pictures of her birth to record the process so they could look at them when they were old.
But he broke his promise, so his sweetheart must be angry and deliberately avoiding him.
Xu Tingchuan smiled faintly and gently called out to the corridor, "Sweetie, I was wrong. Come out. You can punish me however you want. Hide and seek isn't fun. Let's go see our son together."
He stepped forward, as if Ni Sitian were nearby, calling his name softly.
Xu Jiayue sobbed uncontrollably as she walked up to Xu Tingchuan, leaning on her crutches. "Brother, I beg you, please stop. It's all my fault. Hit me, scold me."
"Shh, your sister-in-law isn't responding to me, she's probably sleeping. Don't wake her up," Xu Tingchuan said softly.
“Tingchuan, wake up. Sitian is gone, but your child is still here. Don’t you want to go see him? You have to face reality. Right now, the person who needs you the most is your child. He was born with congenital defects and is still in an incubator.” Jin Rulan grabbed her son’s shoulders, forced to confront the issue.
“We’ll go see her together when Sitian wakes up.” Xu Tingchuan pulled Jin Rulan’s hand away and walked along the long corridor.
He thought that Sitian must be very tired after giving birth, so he shouldn't disturb her sleep now. He would wait until she recovered in a few days, was discharged from the hospital, and went home to recuperate, then they could take care of the baby together.
Well, he also needs to learn how to change diapers and make formula, as they had agreed before, so he needs to recover quickly.
Xu Tingchuan lay back down on the hospital bed and closed his eyes to rest.
For the next two weeks, no one mentioned Ni Sitian to him again.
These three words seemed to have become taboo, and they never heard them from Xu Tingchuan's mouth. Xu Tingchuan took his medicine, ate, and rested on time every day. Apart from becoming silent, there was nothing else unusual about him.
They assumed that he had silently accepted it in his heart.
However, on the day they were discharged from the hospital and returned home, they realized that this was not the case. Xu Tingchuan walked into the room and softly called out to the empty balcony, "Sitian, I'm back."
That was the last time he saw her; it felt like just yesterday that she was waving goodbye to his car.
Jin Rulan was stunned when she heard this and looked at Xu Haicheng.
Xu Haicheng also sensed something was wrong, and his brows furrowed slightly.
"Sitian, the sun is so bright outside, why don't you come in?" Xu Tingchuan's gaze was gentle and doting as he walked helplessly to the balcony, reaching out to carry her inside.
"Xu Tingchuan, why are you only coming back now!" Ni Sitian dodged away from him, as if playfully scolding him: "I've been waiting for you for so long, childbirth is so painful."
"I'm sorry I'm late, it won't happen again." Xu Tingchuan reached out to touch her again, but still missed.
"Hmph, it's not like I'm going to have a second child with you." Ni Sitian pouted, speaking in a cute and charming tone.
"Didn't you say you wanted a second child? You said you wanted a daughter," Xu Tingchuan chuckled.
Jin Rulan and Xu Haicheng's expressions changed drastically; their son seemed to be talking to thin air.
