Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In the face of such a situation, something stirred in Chu Liyuan.
He could not help but recall the time when he made that decision five years ago…
At that time, my one-sided thinking led me to make a decision that I thought was for Jian Jian’s own good. I lost her instead and live to regret it.
The little girl’s words today made him realize that many self-righteous thoughts often turned out to hurt even more people.
“What’s your name?”
“Xiaoxin.”
“Xiaoxin?”
“Xiaoxin, listen to me…”
“Are you leaving because you don’t want your brother and mother to be sad?”
Xiaoxin nodded.
“But have you ever thought that your leaving without a word will hurt them even more?”
“They will blame themselves for not taking good care of you.”
“Really?”
“Yes. You should seize all the time you have to be with them so that you won’t have any regrets.”
“Besides… Little girl, medicine is so advanced now. Your illness isn’t terminal. How can you give up so easily?”
“Don’t you want to have more time with your brother and mother?”
“I do, I do… even in my dreams! I really don’t want to leave them!” Tears streaked down Xiaoxin’s face.
“Then you have to believe… You have to be brave and strong to defeat the illness.”
“I get it, Uncle Handkerchief. Thank you!”
Xiaoxin turned around and was about to leave, but she turned back after taking a few steps. She scratched her head and said in embarra.s.sment, “Uncle, can you send me back? I don’t know the way.”
Don’t know the way? And you actually dared to do the vanishing act. What a genius!
However, this impulsive personality and no sense of direction is just like Jian Jian.
Ever since the day he confirmed that Jian Dan was still alive, he seemed to see her in everyone he met. He felt like he was about to lose his mind.
Even though Chu Zhiyuan kept telling him that Jian Dan had already left him, he still held on firmly to the belief that she was definitely still alive and that she was back…
“Sure. Which ward are you staying in? I’ll bring you back.”
“I’m staying in VIP Room 6.”
This little girl’s family is rather well-to-do if she’s stayingin the VIP ward.
“Okay. I’ll send you back.”
Chu Liyuan was heading for the door when Xiaoxin stopped him.
He turned around and looked at her. She lowered her head and shook the hem of her clothes.
“What’s the matter?”
“Uncle, I’m tired. Can you carry me back?”
This little girl’s really pushing her luck.
Oh, alright. Who asks me to have a soft spot for her?
“Alright! Come over.” He squatted down and opened his arms.
Xiaoxin threw herself into his arms and hugged Chu Liyuan’s neck. Chu Liyuan slowly stood up. “Uncle, you’re so tall! I want to be as tall as you in the future!”
“You’re a girl. Why do you want to be so tall?”
“This way, I can protect my mother and brother.”
Chu Liyuan smiled and didn’t say anything… He carried her out of Sizhe’s office and walked towards VIP Room 6…
After searching for so long, there was still no news of Xiaoxin. Jian Dan was already on the verge of breaking down.
She was at a loss for what to do and worried sick at not knowing where Xiaoxin was now. Has she been captured by the bad people? Is she starving or cold? Is her body able to take it?
Even Xiaokai—who had always been calm and collected—could not hold it in anymore…
“Mom! Xiaokai!” Xiaoxin’s voice rang in the air.
Upon hearing Xiaoxin’s voice, Jian Dan and Xiaokai immediately whipped their heads up…
Xiaokai rushed over immediately…
Jian Dan was about to run to Xiaoxin as well when she saw the man holding her… She stood frozen, rooted to the ground…
