“Uncle Ma, you were the one who saved yuan Bao that day.”
As soon as Ma Haodong heard “yuan Bao,” he thought of his friend’s yuan Bao. “So you’re yuan Bao!”
“Uncle Ma, do you know me?”
The little boy inclined his head, his black eyes big and clear. She had the innocence of a child.
“Yes, I’ve heard of you.”
“Thank you for saving me, Uncle Ma,” yuan Bao said.
“You’re welcome.”
Ma Haodong reached out to touch yuan Bao’s head, then carefully looked at the child’s facial features. It felt so familiar. Had he seen it somewhere before?
He then looked at yuan Bao’s grandmother. She looked very much like Xiao Yuqian’s mother!
After the interview, the reporters and the other parents and children left. yuan Bao did not leave. He could not explain why he liked this uncle.
“yuan Bao, it’s time to go back. Let Uncle rest!”
Wen Lanying wanted to pull the child away, but yuan Bao begged, “Grandma, yuan Bao wants to play with Uncle for a while. Is that okay?”
Ma Haodong was not bothered by the child at all. He spoke up for him. “Auntie, just let yuan Bao stay here. He can accompany me. I’m also very bored.”
Wen Lanying eyed her grandson and then looked at Ma Haodong. She could not describe what she was feeling.
One of them had an injured left arm while the other had an injured right arm. If it were said that the two were father and son, probably no one would even doubt it..
It was rare for yuan Bao to want to interact with outsiders, so Wen Lanying did not stop him. “All right, you stay here with uncle. When you’re done playing, come back by yourself. Grandma will go prepare food.”
“Alright, grandma.”
Only Ma Haodong and yuan Bao were left in the ward. yuan Bao held his chin with one hand and stared at Ma Haodong. Then he couldn’t help but sigh. “Uncle Ma, you are a brave hero.”
“Hahaha, thank you for the compliment.”
Ma Haodong was amused by yuan Bao’s serious look. He asked casually, “Are you usually with your grandma? Didn’t your parents come to see you?”
“I don’t have a father,” yuan Bao answered. “I only have a mother.”
This was partially why yuan Bao wanted to hang out with Ma Haodong. He wanted to have a heroic father.
He really liked Ma Haodong. He even hoped that Ma Haodong could become his father. He wondered if his mother would agree.
No one would have thought that the two of them had become good friends in the ward. Neither of them knew about the relationship between them, but blood ties were so wonderful that they were drawn together.
Xiao Yuqian felt that there were many inconveniences for the two of them being the same hospital. She would sneak around each time she came to visit yuan Bao, afraid that she would bump into Ma Haodong.
Just that on a day when she was on a stroll with yuan Bao, Ma Haodong was feeling bored and glanced out the window, noticing two figures in the garden.
It was Xiao Yuqian and that little yuan Bao!
Ma Haodong felt as if a bolt had struck him when he saw how close the child was with Xiao Yuqian. Could it be…
In order to confirm his guess, he ignored the wound on his arm and ran out of the ward.
He went to the garden downstairs and forced himself to calm down. Finally he walked towards them.
Little yuan Bao was the first to notice Ma Haodong. He said to his mother, “Mommy, look, it’s Uncle Ma.”
