Chapter 1265: What Part of ‘All Financial Aid’ Do You Not Understand?
When Bai Xiaonian saw Bai Jinyu’s wife, Xu Wanwan, enter the room, she couldn’t hold herself back. She choked up as she asked her, “How is my dad?”
“Don’t worry! Jinyu is personally carrying out this operation! Nothing will go wrong!” Xu Wanwan comforted Bai Xiaonian.
Bai Xiaonian’s throat was sore and painful. She swallowed with much difficulty and nodded.
The doctor used tweezers to remove the porcelain pieces from Bai Xiaonian’s knees, then disinfected her wounds and st.i.tched them up. Bai Xiaonian was holding back tears the whole time…
It wasn’t because it hurt. It was because she had caused her father to suffer an undeserved catastrophe.
Bai Xiaonian’s heart ached terribly as she thought about how her father would silently cry while clutching her mother’s photos when he secretly missed her mother.
Bai Xiaonian’s mother was Bai Xiaonian and her father’s greatest source of pain…
The father and daughter rarely brought her up as they didn’t want to reopen each other’s wounds.
Lu Jinnan felt even worse. He thought his father-in-law was the best father-in-law in the world!
Back then, he agreed to celebrate Chinese New Year with Hong Jinyun when he visited her because he was still angry with Bai Xiaonian. As a result, Hong Jinyun and her mother got the wrong idea about Lu Jinnan, and they thought he would still accept Hong Jinyun.
It was all Lu Jinnan’s fault!
If he hadn’t continued to be angry with Bai Xiaonian, things wouldn’t have happened the way they did today…
When Lu Jinnan was told over the phone that there was blood all over Bai Xiaonian’s legs, he felt as if all the blood had been drained from his body. He thought he was going to lose their child again!
Thank goodness the child was safe!
But, on the other hand, Bai Xiaonian’s father was in an operating room, and there were so many pieces of broken porcelain stuck in Bai Xiaonian’s legs.
Lu Jinnan’s heart ached so much that he felt like it was dripping blood. He pursed his lips tightly as he reached out to pull Bai Xiaonian into his embrace. He then noticed Bai Xiaonian was trying to keep her body from trembling. He gently caressed Bai Xiaonian’s arm and wanted to say something to comfort her, but he realized that he couldn’t say a word.
“I shouldn’t have argued with her!” Bai Xiaonian choked up and said.
If Bai Xiaonian hadn’t argued with her, Hong Jinyun’s mother wouldn’t have brought up her mother, and her dad wouldn’t have been so angry that he suffered cerebral infarction and pa.s.sed out. It was all her fault!
Bai Xiaonian hugged Lu Jinnan’s waist tightly and rubbed the tears that had accidentally spilled from her eyes onto Lu Jinnan’s s.h.i.+rt. Her eyes then further welled up with tears, so much so that she couldn’t hold them back.
“It’s not your fault!” Lu Jinnan hugged Bai Xiaonian tightly and lowered his head to kiss her forehead. “It’s my fault! It’s all my fault… it’s all my fault!”
When Lu Jinnan heard Bai Xiaonian’s cries, his eyes reddened, and the expression in his eyes hardened.
Bai Xiaonian… their child, and Bai Xiaonian’s father were the people Lu Jinnan most wanted to protect in his life. He couldn’t tolerate anyone hurting them! Anyone!
Lu Jinnan watched as the nurse finished st.i.tching up the wounds on Bai Xiaonian’s legs. He then lifted Bai Xiaonian up bridal style and softly asked her, “Let’s wait for Dad outside the operating room, okay?”
Bai Xiaonian nodded. She was so choked up that she couldn’t say a word.
“She’s pregnant, so she needs to get some rest right now…” the doctor good-naturedly reminded them.
However, Lu Jinnan calmly and wordlessly walked towards the operating room while carrying Bai Xiaonian in his arms.
Lu Jinnan knew that all Bai Xiaonian wanted to do right now was wait for her father outside the operating room!
He knew Bai Xiaonian, and he understood how she felt.
Xu Wanwan found a blanket for Bai Xiaonian and draped it over her body as she lay in Lu Jinnan’s arms.
The operation lasted a long time.
Xu Wanwan brought food and warm water for Bai Xiaonian and Lu Jinnan… but the two of them left them completely untouched!
When Lin Nuan rushed to the hospital after receiving the news and saw that Bai Xiaonian refused to eat or drink while waiting, she bought a cup of warm milk and forced Bai Xiaonian to drink it.
“You’re not alone right now! You’re pregnant with a child! It’s fine if you don’t want to eat, but can you at least have a sip of milk?”
Bai Xiaonian’s throat bobbed, and she started to cry again as she looked at Lin Nuan. She nodded and lowered her head to take a sip of the milk. Tears rolled down her face, causing her to taste her tears as she drank the milk.
She felt anguished, and her throat felt unbearably painful.
Lin Nuan had brought a change of clothes for Bai Xiaonian. The hospital staff cut open the legs of her pants to remove the broken pieces of porcelain from her knees and clean her wounds. As a result, her legs were now only covered by a blanket.
Bai Xiaonian didn’t want to leave since her father was still in the operating room.
“You should go back first!” Bai Xiaonian looked up and said to Lin Nuan in a hoa.r.s.e voice, “You have to take care of Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan at home!”
Lin Nuan frowned as she looked at Bai Xiaonian, whose face was pale and whose eyes were red. She then replied, “The nanny’s looking after the kids. I’ll leave when Uncle is out of the operating room!”
Just as Lin Nuan finished speaking, Bai Jinyu walked out of the operating room.
Bai Xiaonian agitatedly got up. She wanted to go over and ask about the operation. However, her knees hurt the moment her feet made contact with the floor. She would have fallen to the floor on her knees if not for Lu Jinnan and Lin Nuan’s fast reflexes.
“Don’t be so anxious!” Bai Jinyu removed his mask and quickly walked over to Bai Xiaonian before continuing, “Uncle was sent to the hospital in time, and the operation went well. Don’t worry!”
Bai Xiaonian nodded her head vigorously. She wanted to thank Bai Jinyu, but her throat was so swollen that she couldn’t say a word. Lin Nuan thanked him for her instead. “Thank you…”
Bai Jinyu patted Bai Xiaonian’s shoulder and nodded, indicating to her that he understood what she meant. “Don’t worry! I’m a professional!”
Xu Wanwan also smiled and comforted Bai Xiaonian. “Right! Professor Bai is the most professional neurosurgeon in Haicheng!”
Bai Xiaonian tried her best to give Xu Wanwan a smile.
Now that Bai Xiaonian knew her father was safe, her body finally gave out, and she slept in Lu Jinnan’s arms.
Bai Xiaonian had been on edge for hours. Given that she was also injured and pregnant, she could only have held herself together for so long.
When Lu Jinnan laid Bai Xiaonian down on the accompanying bed in the VIP room, Lu Jinnan’s father had already reached the hospital.
“My dad’s here as well. There’ll be people here to take care of her, so you can go back first. Old Fu and your children need you!” Lu Jinnan said to Lin Nuan.
Lin Nuan glanced at Bai Xiaonian, who was fast asleep, and nodded. “Call me if you need anything!”
“Okay!” Lu Jinnan nodded as he walked Lin Nuan to the elevator lobby.
“Make sure you deal with this properly. Don’t make Xiaonian upset!” Lin Nuan reminded Lu Jinnan.
“Don’t worry! I know what to do!”
Lin Nuan saw the determined expression in Lu Jinnan’s eyes. He seemed like he already had a plan, so she nodded and left.
Lu Jinnan asked his father to stay with Bai Xiaonian while he walked to the elevator lobby alone to call his a.s.sistant.
“Stop all financial aid rendered to Hong Jinyun and her mother!” Lu Jinnan ordered in a cold voice.
“All of it? Including the apartment they’re staying in right now?” his a.s.sistant asked.
“What part of ‘all financial aid’ do you not understand?” Lu Jinnan nearly couldn’t hold back the anger in his heart.
Lu Jinnan’s a.s.sistant on the other end of the line didn’t think that he would flare up like that.
