Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Madam Xiao was stunned for a moment. “Why are you suddenly so serious? Is it important from where I learned that Ah Yuan was injured?”
“Yes, it’s very important.” Commander Xia stared at his ex-wife with sharp eyes. His cold, low voice was tense, revealing a sharpness that flustered Madam Xiao. “You need to tell me the answer honestly.”
Madam Xiao, who hadn’t taken it seriously, wiped all expression off her face. Her ex-husband’s seriousness made her feel even more uneasy.
“This morning, Old Du’s daughter, Jiayi, accompanied Chenglan to the hospital for a check-up. When she got out of the car, she accidentally saw Ah Yuan leaving in a car, so she called to tell me that she saw Ah Yuan in the hospital,” Madam Xiao explained seriously. Afraid that her ex-husband would misunderstand something, she said, “I previously asked that child to help me find Ah Yuan’s whereabouts at the border.”
Commander Xia frowned and stared at his ex-wife as if to confirm whether she was lying or not. After a while, he asked, “Then how did you know that Ah Yuan was injured?”
!!
“How would I know that Ah Yuan was injured?” Madam Xiao smiled lightly. Her smile was bitter. “I didn’t know. I just remembered that Ah Yuan didn’t like to go to the hospital since he was young. It’s impossible for him to come to the hospital for nothing, so I called to ask you.”
So he had been tricked by his ex-wife too!
Commander Xia was slightly relieved, but there were some things that he had to remind his ex-wife. Although his son did not acknowledge her, their mother-son relationship could not be changed no matter what!
“You know what the relationship between the Xia family and the Du family is like. Although you’ve been good friends with Old Du’s wife for many years, I hope that you’ll know the difference between a good friend and your son.” For the sake of his only son, Commander Xia did not mind his estranged relationship with his ex-wife. In his usually dignified voice, he reminded his ex-wife coldly, “If you insist on putting your good friend first, I don’t mind using extreme means to make sure that you can never step into our country again.”
It was not just a reminder but a warning.
Madam Xiao’s body swayed slightly. Her hands that were grabbing her bag exerted so much strength that blue veins popped out. She was very angry but endured it.
Afraid of alarming Xia Jinyuan in the ward, she lowered her angry voice. “Xia Xinhui, in your eyes, am I someone who doesn’t even care about my son’s life?”
“Something like that,” Commander-in-Chief Xia said calmly in the face of his ex-wife’s anger. “Little Six thinks so too.”
‘Something like that… Little Six thinks so too…’
Hearing this, all of Madam Xiao’s anger disappeared. There was no color in her eyes for a moment, only grayness.
“Don’t worry. Between a good friend and a son, I naturally choose my son.”
The anger and shouting just now seemed to have exhausted all her strength. She grabbed the guardrail on the hospital wall that was used for patients to walk slowly with one hand. She, who seemed to have aged a lot in an instant, said softly, “I came over this time to see my son and tell you two that Old Du seems to be interested in Ah Yuan. Ever since I met Ah Yuan the last time, Old Du and his wife have been asking about him.
“But I know even less about Ah Yuan’s current situation than the two of them. It’s useless for them to ask me. Today, Jiayi called me. I’m surprised and even more certain that Old Du has his eyes on Ah Yuan.”
Taking a deep breath, Madam Xiao, who was still elegant no matter how disheveled she was, looked at her ex-husband with tired eyes. Facing her ex-husband’s wariness and thinking of her biological son’s coldness, Madam Xiao knew that she would have to live the rest of her life in the pain of the sins she committed in the first half of her life.
