Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Xia Ning’s heart sunk as her face changed. She looked up at Qiao Yu.
Gao Wanhua darted a look at her son and said with a frown, “What are you talking about?”
The tears that were hidden in Enoch’s eyes came out at once. Enoch started to cry out loud.
“Don’t cry, don’t cry. You’re Grandma’s little pumpkin.” Gao Wanhua held Enoch up at once and tried to comfort him.
Qiao Yu took a napkin and wiped his mouth a little. He then stood up and walked upstairs.
Xia Ning looked at Enoch who was crying in Gao Wanhua’s arms, her eyes sad.
Last night, she had another dream where Enoch was covered in blood and she was holding a blood-stained knife.
Yes, her showing up would only hurt him.
On the sofa, Enoch was still crying. Xia Ning sat next to him and said in a low voice, “You are a big boy, you should learn to be strong.”
“Mummy didn’t want to leave you. But Enoch, no one will be able to be by your side forever. For the things that we might lose in the future, we need to face them with a smile.”
“You are a child blessed by G.o.d. Your life was luckier than others starting from when you were born. So you will keep living a happy life.”
Back then, in the emergency room in the hospital, she was gravely injured, but she heard the doctor vaguely. “This is a child blessed by G.o.d.”
Yes, she always believed that Enoch is a child blessed by G.o.d. So without her, he’d still be happy.
Enoch looked at his mother and said in a low voice, “So Mummy, if I’m a strong kid, you’ll like me?”
“Mummy will always love you. This never changed.” Xia Ning said softly. She patted Enoch’s head. She was willing to use her life in exchange for his, as long as he was happy.
“I love Mummy too!” Enoch looked at Xia Ning with a pair of serious eyes.
Xia Ning smiled a little and hugged him at once. She tried hard to keep the tears from dropping. Why was he such a good boy? He made goodbye so hard.
After some time, Enoch fell asleep on the sofa and Xia Ning was finally able to leave.
Gao Wanhua insisted to see Xia Ning off and Xia Ning could not refuse.
They were walking on the lawn and not talking. They used to be mother and daughter-in-law, but they never had that real relations.h.i.+p for a day. Now, Xia Ning and Qiao Yu had nothing to do with each other but they finally met. Sometimes, reality made the biggest joke.
“Looks like it’s very hard for Qiao Yu to get you back,” Gao Wanhua said suddenly.
Xia Ning looked at Gao Wanhua and said in a low voice, “Sorry to disappoint you, Auntie.”
“Of course there’s regret for me, but I worry the most about Enoch. Ever since he was born, his mother was not by his side.” Gao Wanhua suddenly stopped and looked at Xia Ning next to her. “I’m just curious. Is love really that important? When it’s gone, a woman can desert her own child.”
Xia Ning stopped as well. She looked at Gao Wanhua and smiled slightly. “Auntie, you are calling me heartless. When I had Enoch, I was only twenty. Back then, I was not as mature, so…”
“If we didn’t spend the past two days together, I would have thought you were a ruthless woman but I never see a person wrong.” Gao Wanhua interrupted her and frowned. “But I don’t understand!”
Xia Ning curled her lips a little. “Auntie, some truths do not matter. Some pasts are better forgotten.”
Gao Wanhua eventually did not ask her to stay. But when she saw Xia Ning’s back, she could not help but sigh. She turned around and was ready to go back, and looked up to see the tall figure on the second floor. She shook her head helplessly.
So she really could not do anything about young people’s lives.
Xia Ning got out of the Qiao house. She could not bear the sadness of leaving Enoch, but people always had to get used to losing.
She checked the time. It was a good time to visit a patient. If she did not go, how could she know whether her idol was fully recovered or not? She stopped a cab at once and went straight to the hospital.
