"Actually, there are some people and some things in this world that are hard to explain. Everyone has a different perspective. Do you know why my grandparents haven't contacted me all these years?"
"Why?" Lin Xiaobao asked, puzzled.
Lin Zhaoyue's smile vanished. "Because I killed their daughter..."
“You were so young back then, and besides, it wasn’t your choice,” Lin Xiaobao said subconsciously.
“Yes, that’s why my sister said that everyone has their own thoughts. People in this world are diverse. Some people think that their children are more important than their own lives, while others think that they are more important than themselves. No matter what choice you make, just follow your heart.”
Lin Zhaoyue said earnestly, "Xiaobao, from your perspective, it's okay to hate your mother! The same goes for the other way around. Zhao Yufen probably thinks that her good life is more important than your son, so she abandoned you!"
There's no need to take some things so seriously. You're all grown up now. Even without your biological mother, you still have your father and me, your older sister. Our future will only get better. When you're old enough to settle down and start your own family, you'll have your own little family of your own.
Xiao Bao has been unhappy these days, probably because he feels like he's been abandoned.
"sister,"
Lin Xiaobao suddenly looked at Lin Zhaoyue with a serious expression, "If, I mean if, I want you to live well..."
If the older sister is in any danger, and you have to choose between her and the children, then...
Lin Xiaobao hopes that his older sister will survive.
"The best outcome would be for both mother and child to be safe," Lin Zhaoyue said thoughtfully, a slight smile playing on her lips. "If something really does happen, I hope the children can live a good life."
"No!" Without his sister, Lin Xiaobao didn't want anyone else to live.
"It's okay. Childbirth is indeed quite dangerous, but it's not always that dangerous." It's more accurate to say that the likelihood of any danger is very small.
"..." Outside the ward,
Hua Xiuyun was about to go inside with the food she had just gotten from the cafeteria when she saw her son standing at the door. She asked in surprise, "Are you standing guard here? Why don't you go inside and keep Zhaoyue company?"
"mom,"
Jiang Jingzhou stood here and heard everything they had just said.
"What's wrong?"
Hua Xiuyun noticed that his expression was not quite right.
“Mom! I’m not at ease,” Jiang Jingzhou tightened his grip on Hua Xiuyun’s wrist, his eyes darkening. “A C-section is dangerous.”
"I know." Childbirth is never without risks. Besides, didn't the doctor already inform them of any possible complications during the procedure? Why is he only just realizing this now?
"..." Jiang Jingzhou's face suddenly turned very ugly.
Hua Xiuyun sensed something was wrong and frowned. "Are you alright? Zhaoyue is already quite nervous, so don't make me feel tense here. In front of her, you have to act cheerful, understand?!"
"I can't feel happy,"
"If you can't be happy, then stand here obediently!"
Hua Xiuyun rolled her eyes speechlessly. What else could she do? She didn't have time to comfort him right now.
"..." After saying that, Hua Xiuyun stepped into the ward. "Zhaoyue, Xiaobao is here for dinner. The braised pork in the cafeteria is pretty good today. Xiaobao must eat more. I feel like you've lost weight these past few days."
Lin Xiaobao obediently called out "Auntie," feeling that his sister's mother-in-law was even better than his own mother.
...The mother and son met again, but the place and the time were wrong.
Nothing seemed right. Lin Xiaobao noticed that Zhao Yufen had lost a lot of weight.
Before he could even speak, Zhao Yufen's accusing voice rang out, "What good is it of me to have given birth to you? You just watched your father divorce me, didn't you even try to stop him? Lin Xiaobao, I've spoiled you for so many years, and in the end, I've raised a heartless wretch! Tell me, what good will it do you to have your father divorce me?"
Lin Xiaobao changed the words he was about to say.
"Mom, so you think that you've ended up like this because of me?"
"Otherwise what?"
Zhao Yufen angrily cursed, "You treacherous dog, I hate you to death! If I had known you were like this, I would never have given birth to you. Why are you still here to see me now? Get out! I don't need you to laugh at me."
Lin Xiaobao: "..." This is his mother.
It's a good thing he came back with a lot of things to say.
Now, however, he doesn't want to say a single word.
It's a waste of breath.
Lin Xiaobao remained silent, while Zhao Yufen continued to curse.
Are you crazy?!
Hua Xiuyun, who was outside, couldn't stand it anymore. She couldn't believe what she was saying; it was utterly incomprehensible.
"It's good enough that the child still cares about you and is willing to come see you. It shows that the child has a kind heart. Look at what you've done. All you do is tarnish the child's reputation. When you ran away with that man, why didn't you think about the child at all? Now you're complaining that the child doesn't come to see you. You don't deserve to say these things!"
Hua Xiuyun was furious. "Zhao Yufen, I have never seen such a shameless person before. If you had taken the child with you when you ran away, Xiao Bao might have said a few good words for you."
"What business is it of yours if I scold my own son here? You're just bored and have nothing better to do than meddle in our family's affairs!"
Zhao Yufen retorted at the top of her lungs.
"Yes, I'm just bored and have nothing better to do. Zhaoyue is my daughter-in-law, and now she's part of my family. Xiaobao is my daughter-in-law's younger brother, so naturally he's also my child. If I don't protect him, who will?"
Hua Xiuyun chuckled lightly, "Zhao Yufen, it seems you haven't received a good education here. Divorcing you was the right thing to do. People like you shouldn't have a good ending!"
"Get out! Both of you get out of here! I don't want to see you!"
Zhao Yufen lost control of her emotions.
She was practically going crazy from being cooped up here.
She longed for her son to come visit her every single day.
He did come, but he couldn't help but feel resentful.
Now that Lin Xiaobao had seen her, he naturally had no other thoughts in his mind.
"Mom, since you don't acknowledge me as your son, this is the last time I'll call you Mom. I hope you can receive a good education inside. Even if you come out one day, neither of us will acknowledge the other."
That would be tantamount to severing the mother-child relationship.
Lin Xiaobao said resolutely.
"Xiaobao, were you instigated by someone? Where's your sister? Where's Lin Zhaoyue? Why won't she come? Is she too ashamed to face me? I told her to plead with your father not to divorce me. That woman definitely didn't do anything good."
"It was me who made my dad divorce you!"
