Zhuang Nainai and Si Jingyu stood by the entrance to the hospital. The driver was coming over from the carpark to pick them up.
They stood there, rooted to the ground, looking into the distance.
Si Jingyu was silent, so Zhuang Nainai remained silent as well. After a moment, they heard some commotion coming from behind them, so they turned around. Then they saw Bai Yue standing behind them, together with a little boy wearing a hospital gown.
The little boy was wearing the hospital’s gown. His small body seemed listless, and his small face was unusually red. It was obvious that he had a fever.
In the last couple of days, it was getting colder in Beijing. It was around five degrees Fahrenheit at the moment. Bai Yue was wearing her down coat, but the little boy seemed to have been in a hurry. He wasn’t wearing any coat.
He stood by Bai Yue’s side. Because of his illness, he seemed to be in a daze.
Once the security guard saw the mother and child, he refused to let them out of the hospital. Bai Yue got into a tussle with the guard.
After Si Jingyu saw them, her brows arched. But she didn’t try to interfere with whatever was going on. She just stared at the little boy.
His features were so similar to Shi Jinyan’s, and, somehow, looking at this child made her feel a tug on her heartstrings!
She didn’t know what was wrong with her. Once she saw Xin Xin, she started thinking about the child that she had lost.
If the child had lived, would it be Xin Xin’s age?
As she thought about this, Si Jingyu couldn’t bring herself to continue witnessing the spectacle in front of her. She turned around and patted Zhuang Nainai’s hand, asking her to remain by the entrance. Then, she instructed Dazhuang to look after Zhuang Nainai. It was only then that she turned back and walked over to Bai Yue.
When Si Jingyu walked over, she heard Bai Yue say, “I’m going over to talk to that woman for a bit. Why won’t you let me go?”
The security officer spoke very respectfully and professionally. “I’m sorry, Madam, you can’t leave without signing the necessary paperwork to discharge the patient from the hospital. Also, that child seems to be so cold. You should hurry and bring the child back to the ward.”
Bai Yue stared icily at the security officer. “You also know that my child is cold? I’ll be back once I speak to her. Will you be responsible for the child if he freezes to death?”
The security officer stared at Bai Yue, at a loss for what to say. He had already picked up his phone, ready to report to the nurse at reception.
At that moment, Si Jingyu hurriedly walked over.
Her gaze landed on Xin Xin as usual.
His head drooped down and his eyes were glazed. It looked as though he had just been awoken. His thin body was shivering in the cold wind. He yawned and looked up at Bai Yue. “Mom, I’m cold.”
“Xin Xin, hold on for a moment. Just a moment. We’ll go back once we’re done talking, alright?”
After Xin Xin heard this, he nodded obediently, then looked at Si Jingyu.
Si Jingyu met his clear and innocent gaze, then felt a tremor in her heart. Without a second thought, she took off her down coat and put it on Xin Xin. “Obedient child, aren’t you cold?”
The warmth from the down coat seemed to warm Xin Xin up. His gaze landed on Si Jingyu and he looked at her steadily. After a moment, he took a step back. “My mother says you’re a bad person! I have to keep a distance from you!”
Si Jingyu didn’t know why her heart ached after she heard him say that.
And Bai Yue held Xin Xin, taking a step back. When she saw the down coat on his body, she violently leaned over, ripped the coat off Xin Xin, and threw it on the floor!!!
