Xiao Xueyi's voice was a little choked up. Although he was often away from home on official business, he had a relatively long period of rest. In order to spend more time with his children, he never refused.
But in the end, the stone was left scarred and battered.
“Every time I came back, Shi Tou was all smiles. Although Lü Jie was struggling, she would still hold him in her arms. I really thought she treated him like her own child. The meals on the table were all Shi Tou’s favorite dishes. I thought they got along very well.”
He even secretly rejoiced that he had found a wonderful mother for his child.
Over the years, he had never realized how poorly he had behaved as a father. He couldn't even see the fear or the reluctance in Shi Tou's eyes.
He was foolish enough to think that a child could get along harmoniously with a strange woman; his arrogance ultimately dealt him a fatal blow.
Shu Ying put Shi Tou's clothes down and softened her voice, "This isn't the first or second time this has happened."
Children are often held back by various reasons and cannot express the grievances they endure. However, over time, the hurt children will only feel more aggrieved.
Xie Zhiyan carefully adjusted the IV drip rate for the child. The boy always seemed preoccupied, and the people in the compound didn't know why and couldn't help him.
Shu Ying's voice trembled slightly. She couldn't imagine how heartbroken she would be if her own child had suffered the same fate.
“The injuries on Shi Tou’s body didn’t happen overnight. Children’s skin is more delicate, and it takes a long time for scars to heal. The number of new and old injuries on his body may not be less than yours.”
Xiao Xueyi was a good soldier, but not necessarily a good father.
His heart ached, and he knelt down beside the bed. Xiao Xueyi held the stone in one hand, and his tears fell to the ground.
"It was all because I was too arrogant. I shouldn't have trusted others. I'm sorry to my child and I'm sorry to Afang."
Xie Zhiyan patted his shoulder, "Now is not the time to talk about these things. When the child wakes up, the first person he should want to see is you, his father."
During his coma, Shi Tou kept calling for his mother, which probably indicates that he felt only his mother could bring him a sense of security.
Xiao Xueyi's situation is complicated, and no one wanted to see this outcome, but since it has already happened, we must pay attention to Shi Tou's mental health in the future.
Shi Tou lay on the hospital bed with his eyes closed, in pain. The child who was just a lively boy was now quiet and still. Xiao Xueyi felt as if his heart was being torn apart.
"Mommy, it hurts so much, and I'm so cold..."
The stone's low murmur struck Xiao Xueyi's heart like a stone, causing him unbearable pain.
