Chapter 984: Sileng, Don’t Be Afraid, Mommy is Here
“Umm…” Bai Qi’s expression suddenly became a little shy. She stuttered, “I… I just want to take a look…”
Hall Master Bai laughed heartily. He had long seen through his son’s feelings for Bai Qi. He was also very satisfied with this hardworking and intelligent girl. At this moment, seeing Bai Qi’s bashful att.i.tude, he immediately believed that Bai Qi was interested in his son as well. This was good. Everyone would be happy.
“There are plenty of photos. I’ll show them to you.”
Hall Master Bai took out a large pile of photos. Bai Qi lowered her eyes and looked at them seriously. These photos had been taken from when Bai Bo was young up until now. They were very complete.
Bai Bo’s appearance was the same as before. His figure had become stronger and his facial features had become more prominent. However, the honest expression in his eyes could not be faked. This was a person’s character.
Bai Qi had originally suspected that Bai Bo was Ye Ziyi and that Ye Ziyi was still alive. Now it seemed that her a.s.sumption was wrong. Bai Bo was Bai Bo.
But she knew that there must be something suspicious with Bai Bo. How could there be so many coincidences in this world? She was wandering outside, and then she got to know Bai Bo. Bai Bo treated her very well and even introduced her to this place.
“Bai Qi, my son is a simple and honest person. He might be a little dull compared to other men and is not as fun, but he is loyal and knows how to manage a family.” Hall Master Bai tried his best to promote his son.
The corners of Bai Qi’s lips curled up. “I know senior brother’s character. Hall Master, did anything peculiar happen to senior brother when he was growing up? I want to know more about him.”
“Something peculiar?” Hall Master Bai thought for a moment, “Oh, I remember now. About six or seven years ago, he was wandering alone outside. There was a period of time when he suddenly sent me a letter. The content of the letter was very bad. He told me the pa.s.swords of all his bank cards as if it was his last words. At that time, I suspected that he had caused some trouble outside, but a few days later, he suddenly sent me another letter. He told me that he had indeed gotten into big trouble, but he was lucky enough to meet someone who helped him resolve it.”
Bai Qi’s heart skipped a beat. She understood now that the ‘someone’ must have been Ye Ziyi.
However, she still had many questions. After the C-section, she should have died. How did she come back to life? Did something happen on the island when she died? Ye Ziyi must have done something. What did he do? What happened to her face? Was it plastic surgery or… facial manipulation?
Bai Qi suddenly thought of someone, Han Xuan.
Where was Han Xuan?
Han Xuan could work with Ye Ziyi. The two of them wanted to separate her and Zhou Yao so badly. If that was the case, how big of a game was Ye Ziyi’s plan?
Madman!
“Hall Master, don’t tell senior brother about the photos. I…I…” Bai Qi showed a reserved and shy expression again.
“Okay, Bai Qi. Don’t worry. I won’t tell him, haha.”
…
Bai Qi left the Bai’s Martial Arts Dojo with a lot on her mind. Right now, she knew too little information. She had to get Zhou Yao’s help.
Moreover, she wanted to take care of Sileng personally. She also wanted to talk to him about her son’s education. These things were all urgent.
Bai Qi looked at the time. It was already afternoon. Little Sileng should be out of school.
She quickly ran to the street and took a taxi. She was afraid that Mother Zhou had already picked up Sileng and left, so Bai Qi took out her phone and gave Mother Zhou a call.
After two beeps, the call went through. Mother Zhou’s voice came through. “h.e.l.lo, Ms. Bai.”
“Auntie, is Sileng out of school? I’m rus.h.i.+ng to the kindergarten now. Please wait a moment…”
“Ms. Bai, Sileng isn’t in school right now. He’s in the hospital.”
Bai Qi froze, and her expression changed drastically. “What? Hospital? What happened to Sileng?”
“The kindergarten teacher called me this afternoon and said that Sileng had a high fever in school. I rushed to the kindergarten to bring Sileng to the hospital. Sileng might have caught a cold last night, and his high fever hasn’t subsided at 104 degrees. This child has always been weak and sickly since he was young. He’s a little better now, but once he gets sick, he gets very sick. Ms. Bai, don’t be anxious. The doctor had already given him an infusion.”
Bai Qi felt her heart clench. “Auntie, where are you? I’ll go over there now.”
…
In the hospital.
Bai Qi rushed to the hospital. In the corridor, she saw Mother Zhou. “Auntie, where’s Sileng?”
Mother Zhou felt that Bai Qi really cared about her grandson. She pointed to the ward next to her. “Sileng is in there, getting an infusion.”
Bai Qi quickly pushed open the door of the ward and walked in. The ward was very quiet and there was not a single sound. At that moment, a small figure was curling up on the white hospital bed. Zhou Sileng was sleeping, his eyes closed. The back of his small hand was being injected with an IV drip.
Bai Qi bent down and reached out to touch Zhou Sileng’s forehead. It was still very hot. His fair and delicate little face was also showing a sickly red color.
“Ms. Bai, I just gave Sileng a fever medicine, and his condition has improved a little. You don’t have to worry. If there’s anything you need to attend to, you can go back first.”
Bai Qi shook her head. “I’ll stay here and take care of Sileng.”
As she said that, she rolled up her sleeves and went to the bathroom to get a bowl of hot water. She placed a warm and wet towel onto Zhou Sileng’s forehead and sat on the chair by the bed. She personally took care of Zhou Sileng.
Mother Zhou was very touched. It was not usual for a stranger whom she had only met by chance to do this much.
Zhou Sileng, who was sleeping, frowned uneasily. It was obvious that he was not feeling well. He mumbled, “Mommy… Mommy… Where are you… I miss you so much…”
Bai Qi almost cried when she heard this. She gently held Sileng’s small hand and said softly, “Sileng, don’t be afraid. Mommy is here… Mommy will always be with you…”
Zhou Sileng, who was sleeping, immediately relaxed his brows. Bai Qi’s hand was very soft. He held her hand back, afraid that she would leave again.
Bai Qi wanted to reach out and pat his back, but at that moment, Mother Zhou’s surprised voice rang in her ears. “Ms. Bai, you…”
Bai Qi was stunned. She had not been able to control her emotions just now and had blurted out the word “Mommy.” Mother Zhou, who was standing beside her, probably heard it.
“Auntie, Sileng isn’t feeling well and wants his mommy. I’ll comfort him first so that he can recover quickly,” Bai Qi explained with a normal expression.
“Oh, I see.” Mother Zhou heaved a sigh of relief and smiled. “I thought you were really Sileng’s mommy, but… Zhiyuan had already left, and you look different from her…”
Bai Qi’s long eyelashes fluttered twice, and then she hummed in agreement.
At this time, Zhou Sileng, who was sleeping, began to feel uneasy again. “Daddy… Daddy…”
Children were like this. When they had their mommy, they wanted their daddy also. When they were sick, they wanted both their daddy and mommy to stay with them.
Bai Qi’s expression froze. She noticed now. Where was Zhou Yao?
Their son had a high fever, and Zhou Yao didn’t come?
