After making the phone call, Li Yanhong went to the bathroom, comfortably applying a face mask while soaking in the bath. She didn’t feel she owed Xu Li anything. Although her methods of rising to power were somewhat unscrupulous, at that time his mother was already in the late stages of illness, so she didn’t think she had gone too far.
Over the years, serving him had been a way of reconciling with her own conscience. Even if her husband continued to provide Xu Li with living expenses, it wouldn’t be much, considering that Xiao Lei was also his son!
Outside the gynecological examination room at noon, the doctor who had examined Anna and Eva yesterday finished his morning duties and changed his clothes before heading to a restaurant with Xu Haigui and his wife. Accompanying them was Jiang Xia’s partner.
Oh, those two young girls. The doctor chuckled, “I remember them well; they came in about two months ago. At that time, Xiao Nianqing was with them—tall and strong. Just looking at the scar on his face made me nervous; I thought he might have forced them.”
Xu Haigui offered to pour her a drink, but she refused, saying, “If you don’t drink, what are you to him?”
“I’m his father,” he replied.
As soon as those words left his mouth, both the doctor and Jiang Xia’s partner stared wide-eyed. Xu Haigui was only about one meter eighty tall and chubby; he didn’t seem to fit with someone as fierce-looking as Xiao Nianqing.
Xu Haigui sighed. “I really am his father. I regret not handling things better back then. When the child had a falling out with us, I really sent him away.”
“I personally think you shouldn’t disturb them right now,” he added.
The doctor pondered for a moment before speaking. “Those two young girls will be giving birth in just over ten days; their emotions shouldn’t fluctuate too much. It’s normal for the child not to want to forgive you; as their father, you’ve shown too little concern for him. Being busy with work is no excuse.”
He glanced at the silent couple. “I’m a straightforward person; please don’t take it personally. If I were that young man, I wouldn’t want to forgive you either. Yesterday during his partner's examination, she cried from cramps in her calves while he comforted her by wiping away her tears. Just looking at those scars on him breaks my heart.”
“Don’t think I’m just a gynecologist; I can see things clearly. That young man must have gone through hell. When he was injured and hospitalized, you weren’t there for him. Even if you were far away and unaware of everything, you should have been in regular contact.”
“He was hospitalized for at least two months without a single phone call from you—what kind of parents are you?” The doctor began defending Xu Li, after all, this physical suffering was real and had to be endured. Not to mention just changing bandages was excruciating for that young man.
“Ah, Old Wang, General Xu knows he made mistakes and wants to correct them,” Jiang Xia’s partner interjected to ease the tension.
“You really can’t just sit back and watch your son not recognize his parents,” the doctor continued.
Taking the cigarette Xu Haigui offered him, he thought for a long time before saying, “Once those two young girls give birth, you should go visit them at the hospital and bring a translator along. Start by finding common ground with his partner and mother-in-law; let them persuade him gradually instead of approaching him coldly.”
“Hey, that’s a good idea!” Jiang Xia’s partner clapped his hands together. “You really have great ideas; this plan is solid.”
“Thank you, Doctor Wang.” Xu Haigui shook his hand gratefully and then placed the tea leaves and cigarettes he brought at their feet before signaling for everyone to start eating.
“This one looks good.”
“No wait, this one looks better.”
Anna and Eva had a disagreement over the style of the baby clothes. Natasha stepped forward with a smile and said, "Just let the baby wear whatever you both like. Isn't that simple?"
