Xiao Xueyi didn't dare to delay any longer. He immediately ran over carefully, picked up the stone, held the cup in one hand, and supported the stone's head with the other.
Stone's throat was already very sore, and he hadn't eaten or drunk anything for days. When he felt something being brought to his mouth, he instinctively began to swallow.
Xiao Xueyi was somewhat excited, "The stone still has the ability to swallow on its own."
After drinking more than half a cup of the spiritual spring water, Shu Ying stopped him, saying, "It's enough that he's quenched his thirst. He's not ready to eat too much right now."
Xiao Xueyi said "Oh," and carefully helped Shi Tou lie down, supporting his waist. He had just turned around to put down the water glass when he turned back and saw Shi Tou's eyelashes trembling slightly as he slowly opened his eyes.
The moment Shi Tou saw Xiao Xueyi, he looked completely incredulous.
He spoke, his voice hoarse, "Dad, what are you doing here? Am I dead?"
This place was unfamiliar, and the only person he could see was Xiao Xueyi.
Hearing the child's innocent voice, Xiao Xueyi felt as if Xin Shang had been stabbed with a knife. He hugged Shi Tou tightly, "Of course not, Daddy's back. Daddy won't let anything happen to you."
He gently stroked the stone's head. "Dad won't be leaving for now."
Xie Zhiyan is right; one must always balance family and work.
Stone is still so small. He can't live without his mother's love and his father's care. He had thought things were too simple before. But a child can't grow up for no reason. He was born into this new life, so he should be fully responsible for it.
Shi Tou's voice choked with emotion, as if he had been waiting for these words for a long time. He hugged Xiao Xueyi tightly, "Dad, is everything you said true? You can stay home with me all the time now?"
He couldn't even tell whether he was dreaming or in reality.
Xiao Xueyi gently patted his back, "Of course it's true. The doctor said you're very sick right now. Once you're better, Dad will reconsider the job issue. Since you don't like Aunt Lü, I'll send her back, and Grandma too."
He paused, then tucked the blanket around Shitou. "Actually, Grandma often bullies you too, doesn't she? But you're afraid of putting Dad in a difficult position, so you never say anything. Dad won't let anyone who doesn't like you live with us anymore. From now on, we'll live however you want, okay?"
Shi Tou looked at the floor of the ward, unsure of what to do.
He gripped the blanket tightly with both hands, seemingly conflicted. "Actually, when Dad wasn't home, Aunt Lü didn't just beat me. She used to be very good to me. Later, she said that I wasn't her biological child and wouldn't be filial to her in the future. But when I was sick the year before last, Aunt Lü stayed by my bedside all night. Dad, she's not entirely a bad person."
Although he couldn't understand why his aunt, who used to be so nice, had turned out this way, the only love he could feel after losing his mother came from Lü Jie. At that time, he truly felt that perhaps he was a child who had a mother's love.
