Chapter 522: I’m Entrusting Mom to You
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
When they woke up early in the morning, they were told about Jian Dan’s situation last night, so they rushed to the hospital immediately…
When they arrived and realized that Jian Dan had already given birth, they were relieved.
“Liyuan, why didn’t you tell us?” Although Jian Dan was fine now, Mo Qingqin still blamed him.
This was her most beloved granddaughter. In such a dangerous situation, she should be by her side.
“Last night was an emergency and it slipped my mind.”
Chu Liyuan actually said that it had slipped his mind?
But on second thought, that’s true.
Anyone would panic when the life of someone they care about is on the line.
Hence, even Chu Liyuan is no exception.
Looking at Chu Liyuan’s reddened eyes, she knew how much pain he had been in last night.
“Mom, why do you look so haggard? Are you in pain?” Xiaoxin frowned and asked with concern as she went over to Jian Dan’s bed.
Because the anesthetic had slowly worn off, the pain had also come back. At this moment, Jian Dan could clearly feel the pain in her belly.
However, in order not to let her daughter worry, she smiled and patted Xiaoxin’s head, comforting her, “Xiaoxin, don’t worry. I’m fine. It doesn’t hurt at all.”
Jian Dan’s lips were deathly pale when she said this, so everyone could tell.
Even the two children could tell, but they tacitly did not expose her because they knew that their mother said that because she did not want them to worry.
So in order not to let their mother worry about them, they pretended to buy it.
Because they had to go to school today, they did not stay in the hospital for long…
However, before leaving, Xiaokai pulled Chu Liyuan aside. “Now, I can acknowledge that you’re my father, but you have to make a promise to me between men.” Xiaokai said solemnly, looking very much like Chu Liyuan when he was serious.
Seeing Xiaokai’s serious expression, Chu Liyuan looked at his son very seriously as well. “What?”
“I hope you can promise me that from now on, you can always treat Daxin well and take care of her. You must not hurt her again.”
“Sure!” Chu Liyuan replied without any hesitation.
Jian Dan was the most important person in his life. Even if he did not say it, he would do it.
“Alright. Then I’ll take your word for it. I’m officially entrusting Daxin to you now.” It was as if he was not Jian Dan’s son but an elder entrusting his daughter to a man he believed in.
But there was a ring of truth to it. In the past five years, it was Xiaokai who had been the one taking care of Jian Dan and Xiaoxin most of the time because Jian Dan’s personality was that of a mischievous child.
However, Xiaokai had never felt that this was a burden. Instead, he felt that this was his responsibility.
He had finally found someone he could entrust Jian Dan to. In the future, he could focus his responsibility on Xiaoxin.
The two of them shook on it solemnly before Xiaokai left.
Staring after his son’s departing figure, Chu Liyuan’s lips curled into a gratified smile.
This son is a carbon copy of me.
After sending them off, Chu Liyuan immediately returned to the ward. As the Jian Dan’s anesthetic had already started wearing off, it would definitely hurt increasingly more. Hence, he had to be by her side at all times.
Although Jian Dan had been holding it in and not saying anything, he could tell from her increasingly pale face that she must be in a lot of pain.
It was particularly so when the nurse was pushing Jian Dan’s belly to encourage the uterus to contract and the blood to be expelled. Jian Dan’s contorted facial features and the sweat on her forehead made Chu Liyuan’s heart clench. He really wanted to bear this pain on her behalf.
It was especially so when Jian Dan would smile and tell him that it did not hurt every time the nurse finished pressing on her belly.
Jian Dan’s smile hurt Chu Liyuan to the core.
This lass usually wheedles me, but when she’s really in pain, she’ll always endure it.
He knew that Jian Dan did this because she did not want everyone to worry about her, but this made his heart ache especially.
“Jian Jian, you don’t have to be strong in front of me. You can cry or laugh if you want to. If it hurts, it hurts. You don’t have to endure it.” Chu Liyuan told Jian Dan what he felt deep down.
Because he did not want Jian Dan to pretend to be strong in front of him. Because he was her support, and she could rely on him anytime and anywhere..
