After Ling Hui answered the call from Mother Dai, she asked the driver to drive to the hospital.
Half an hour later, Ling Hui and Cen Xi arrived at the hospital.
His mother was standing outside the emergency room, pacing back and forth with a pale face.
She could tell that her mother was rather flustered and nervous.
“Mom!”
Seeing Ling Hui coming over, Mother Dai grabbed her hand, her lips trembling. “Huihui, I didn’t do it on purpose…”
When Madam Dai was tidying up the study, she accidentally found a photo in a book. The woman in the photo was wearing a white dress and had long hair. She was unbelievably beautiful.
She knew that it was the love of Dai Lang’s heart.
After seeing the photo, her emotions exploded uncontrollably.
She met Dai Lang at the stairs and tore the photo into pieces, throwing the shreds at him like a shrew, questioning, hitting, and scolding him.
She used to be a young lady from a rich family, but she had been forced into such an ridiculous state by marriage.
She felt panicked and afraid, and wanted to stay away from Dai Lang.
She wanted to leave, but Dai Lang pulled her back.
She did not know what to say. She thought that he had lost his temper because of the photo being torn and she was even more agitated and uncontrollable.
As they were pulling each other, the cane in Dai Lang’s hand fell off accidentally and he rolled down the stairs like a snowball.
“Your father bled a lot… Why didn’t I grab hold of him… What if something happens to him?”
Ling Hui held her mother’s cold hand tightly. “Mom, Dad managed to get through the toughest times. He will be fine this time.”
The moment Ling Hui finished speaking, the door of the operating theater opened.
The doctor walked out.
Ling Hui and Mrs Dai looked at the doctor nervously. The doctor nodded at them. “Mr Dai is fine and we’ve already treated his wound. He will wake up later.”
In the afternoon.
Dai Lang woke up.
Ling Hui went back to cook for her parents. Only Mother Dai and the butler remained in the ward.
Dai Lang opened his eyes and glanced at the butler. The butler went forward and helped Dai Lang onto the bed.
“Ling, Ling Ying, I-I won’t force you anymore…” Dai Lang blinked at the butler, who took out a document.
That document was the divorce agreement that Mother Dai had signed long ago.
Seeing Dai Lang’s trembling fingers holding onto the fountain pen as he signed the divorce agreement with much difficulty, her heart tightened.
Her heart ached and her eyes were blurred by tears.
Ever since she found out that he had been with his first love, she had been causing trouble for him.
She could not accept it. He had given her the love she loved the most, letting her know what unforgettable love was, but he had also fed her poison.
Thinking about how he was going to elope with another woman and commit suicide, there was immense hatred in her heart!
But she still could not bear to let go of him now that he was finally willing to do so.
It was something she did not want to see after so many years of being a couple.
But his betrayal was another thorn in her heart.
Whether she pulled it out, it made no difference. It would only make her suffer!
Dai Lang signed the divorce agreement and asked the butler to pass it to his wife.
When Ling Hui came to the hospital with the thermos flask, she saw her mother walking out of the ward with tears streaming down her face.
“Mom…”
“Your father is awake. Go and see him.” After saying this, Mother Dai left.
Ling Hui chased after her mother for a few steps and heard Dai Lang coughing in the ward again. She hurriedly entered the ward.
Dai Lang did not hide it from Ling Hui and got the butler to tell Ling Hui that he had signed the divorce agreement with his mother.
After Ling Hui heard it, she remained silent for a long time.
“Dad, I found a friend who knows lip-reading. I don’t know what to believe when you asked me to believe you the other time. Can you tell me what happened back then?”
Dai Lang closed his slightly red eyes and nodded after a moment of silence.
…
After getting Dai Lang’s permission, Ling Hui immediately called Cen Xi and asked her to come to the hospital.
Dai Lang’s forehead was wrapped in gauze and his face was slightly haggard and pale. He leaned against the pillow and his lips moved.
Cen Xi translated. If she translated correctly, Dai Lang would blink.
Tang Xi’s mother, Yu’er, had indeed been Dai Lang’s first love. However, after Yu’er’s family fell into dire straits and Dai Lang’s father did not agree to them dating again, Yu’er went missing and Dai Lang had been forced to marry Mother Dai.
In the beginning, Dai Lang did not have much feelings for Mother Dai. However, with Ling Hui, as well as how Mother Dai was well-educated and presentable, he gradually started to let go of Yu’er and accept her.
The couple had been in love for more than twenty years, until Mother Dai fell sick and needed a kidney transplant.
He searched the entire country but could not find a suitable kidney for his wife. Just when he was in despair, good news came.
Yu’er had taken the initiative to contact him.
She saw the news that he wanted to find a kidney for his wife. Her blood type and his wife’s were compatible and she wanted to see if she could help.
In the end, they were a match.
Yu’er had helped his wife.
That was how the two of them had gotten in contact with each other at that time, but they were only friends and neither of them had any thoughts of overstepping their boundaries.
He was grateful to Yu’er and would call her occasionally to ask about it.
After a while, when he called her again, he found that she was in low spirits. Even though she was controlling herself, he could hear that she had cried on the phone.
After Yu’er saved Ling Ying, he treated her like his own sister. That time, he happened to be going to the capital and asked to meet Yu’er.
Who knew that when they met that time, Yu’er looked much more haggard and depressed. He put his arm around her shoulders and comforted her.
It was so coincidental that Father Tang had seen it.
At that time, Father Tang was so agitated that he would not listen no matter how much he tried to explain himself.
Yu’er was also angry and said, “Stop explaining to him. He’s not a good person himself.”
After that, Yu’er did not pick up his calls. She only sent him messages from time to time, all of which were messages that talked about how she missed the good times they had together in the past.
At that time, he thought that Yu’er and Father Tang’s marriage was not a happy one. That was why she missed the past.
In order not to cause a misunderstanding, he did not reply her.
After some time, Yu’er sent him a message that he had no choice but to reply.
She asked to meet him at Mountain Cang. If he did not go, she would jump off the cliff.
He could only reply that he would go.
…
After listening to Dai Lang’s story, Ling Hui remained silent for a while.
Dad had not betrayed Mom. Tang Xi’s mother had even saved Mom before…
Dai Lang sighed and said something, which Cen Xi immediately translated. “It’s strange. Yu’er isn’t the kind of person who destroys other people’s families. Why would she send me those misleading messages? I used to think that she did that because she wasn’t happy with her marriage. Now that I think about it, Yu’er isn’t that kind of person. It’s all my fault. I didn’t call her to avoid arousing suspicion at that time and didn’t meet her. If I had told your mother clearly and cared for Yu’er with her, perhaps it wouldn’t have become like this!”
