“Mom, I don’t blame you…”
Xiao Yuqian’s mother felt deep remorse. Both mother and daughter cried as they met.
Xu Xiyan finally saw Xiao Yuqian’s son, Yuan Bao. She looked carefully at the child’s handsome facial features; they were really similar to Ma Haodong’s.
It seemed that he was Ma Haodong’s child alright.
Wen Lanying saw Xu Xiyan standing in front of her, she greeted her, “Oh, it’s you, Yanyan!”
“Yes it’s me, Yanyan.”
When she was still a child, Xu Xiyan loved going to the Xiao family house, and her favorite was Wen Lanying’s cooking.
Though she hadn’t seen Wen Lanying for so many years, she could still clearly remember the taste of her cooking.
Xu Xiyan tried to comfort the two, “Auntie Wen, Sister Qianqian, don’t be sad. Luckily the child only had his arm injured. This is a blessing within a tragedy.”
They were really lucky compared to families whose children had been severely injured or killed.
“Yeah, I was scared out of my wits. You two have come at the right time. Go help settle Yuanbao’s admission to the hospital!”
After that, Xu Xiyan accompanied Xiao Yuqian to settle the child’s hospitalization procedures.
Yuan Bao was having a blood transfusion in the ward. The little boy had lost quite a bit of blood and his face was pale. He was currently unconscious.
Tears rolled down from Xiao Yuqian’s eyes as she looked at the child’s little face, distraught. Yuan Bao was her life!
It was hard to imagine what she would do if Yuan Bao was slashed to death.
She learned about the whole incident. According to Wen Lanying, the drunk man was holding a machete at that time, slashing anyone he saw.
The man hacked his victims to death in one stroke as though he was cutting vegetables. When he came to Yuan Bao, Wen Lanying took the child and fled, his knife only slashing the child’s arm.
But the man was mad with bloodlust at that time. He wouldn’t stop chasing them, forcing and trapping them in a corner. Wen Lanying hugged the child to protect him, getting ready to get cut down.
But the machete did not fall on her back. Instead, a brave young man had blocked the attack with his hands.
The man chopped the young man, but the young man resisted the pain and eventually subdued the man.
“It was all thanks to that lad. When Yuan Bao gets better later, we must go give him our thanks,” Wen Lanying said.
“Okay, I understand, Mom. I’ll go check on him later.”
Xiao Yuqian had heard that the man was injured and was also admitted in this hospital for emergency treatment. She was already planning to go visit him later.
As long as he had saved Yuan Bao, he would become her great benefactor. Gratitude and rewards were definitely essential.
When Wen Lanying left the ward, Xu Xiyan took the opportunity to ask, “Sister Qianqian, is Yuan Bao Brother Dong’s child?”
Xiao Yuqian said nothing, but basically, she admitted it with her silence. Xu Xiyan thought of something else, then asked again, “Sister Qianqian, do you want to inform Brother Dong?”
“No!” Xiao Yuqian answered very firmly.
She didn’t want to reveal the child’s identity, mainly because she was afraid that the Ma family would take her child away.
Ma Haodong was the only son of the Ma family and there weren’t many members in the Ma family. If they knew about Yuan Bao’s existence, they would definitely find a way to take the child from her.
In fact, Xu Xiyan could understand Xiao Yuqian’s worries.
When she had first returned to Zstan with Ying Bao, she had specifically concealed Ying Bao’s information because she was worried that the Huo family would take her child away.
Although Xu Xiyan wanted to secretly tell Ma Haodong about this, she still restrained herself.
After all, who knew what would happen after Ma Haodong got to know about the child? She could not risk it.
Not long after, Yuan Bao woke up. Xiao Yuqian called to him softly, “Yuan Bao!”
“Mommy!”
