Mo Yangyang felt her chest tightening up when she recalled how the man had kicked Latiao so hard.
She went upstairs to grab a jacket, her purse, and phone. She carried Latiao in her arms and headed straight to the hospital.
Latiao was already unconscious by the time she reached the hospital. The doctor immediately sent him to the emergency room.
Mo Yangyang struggled to sit still outside the room.
Daylight pierced through the curtains of a ward.
Mo Yangyang was laying beside a bed. She was holding the hand of the child on the bed.
The child was chubby and adorable. His face was round and tender, like a snowball. His facial features were flawless. His eyelashes were long enough to fill anyone with envy.
Even though his face was chubby, if anyone observed his face carefully, they might still see Xie Xize’s face in it.
The child’s eyelashes shuddered. He opened his eyes.
He had a blank look in them. They soon became uneasy, until he saw Mo Yangyang sleeping soundly beside the bed. He finally smiled gently in relief, like a little creature who finally found its way back to its mother.
He was so scared that everything would only be a dream when he woke up. To his relief…it was real!
He had started his life all over again!
It was great!
He moved closer to Mo Yangyang. His only wish in his second life was to be her one and only Latiao.
The doctor told Mo Yangyang that the man’s kick was rather strong, and had inflicted some inner injuries on her son. The doctor recommended her son to stay in the hospital for a few more days for observation.
Mo Yangyang did not dare take any risks when it was about her son. She was willing to let her son stay in the hospital for as long as the doctor recommended.
She did not reopen the restaurant, staying at the hospital to look after Latiao the whole day.
A nurse came in and saw Latiao sitting on the bed with his tablet. Mo Yangyang was away.
“Latiao, time for your medicine. Where’s your mother?”
“She went to hail a ride for grandpa and grandma,” Mr. and Mrs. Han were very worried when they learned Latiao was admitted into the hospital. They insisted on staying behind to look after him.
In the end, Latiao convinced them to go back.
The nurse was fond of Latiao. She said, “You’re a good kid. Come, here is your medicine.”
“Thank you, sister.”
Another nurse came into the ward to help another patient with their medicine.
“Did you hear? The professor is coming to our hospital for an inspection! He’s planning to set up a factory in this city. Our hospital is interested in working together with him.”
“When?”
“I think… it’s today?”
“Oh my, I would like to meet Professor Xie, even if it’s just a glance…”
“Enough daydreaming. He’s like a celebrity, there’s no way we can meet him.”
Latiao tapped on the cross on the top right to close the page on his tablet while listening to the conversation between the two nurses.
The page he closed had the news about Xie Xize coming to Jinchuan for an inspection.
Latiao lowered his head. His long eyelashes hid the scheming look in his eyes. It seemed like he was offered a pillow right when he was feeling sleepy. He just happened to be thinking of seeing his cheapskate father, too!
If he was planning to form an alliance with someone, he had to make sure the person was qualified to be his ally!
In his previous life, Latiao was sent to the orphanage after his mother died. Xie Xize had found him at the orphanage a few days later.
However, Latiao did not want to go with Xie Xize. He blamed Xie Xize’s irresponsibility for his mother’s death. Why couldn’t he have come earlier?
Latiao had hated Xie Xize, and was not willing to forgive him. He did not call him father, nor did he change his surname back.
However, he had witnessed how Xie Xize tracked down the people that had hurt his mother and killed them all.
Xie Xize would bring Latiao along whenever he tracked down any of them.
After killing all of them, Xie Xize passed on the kingdom he had built to Latiao.
He left without a single word. He was holding an aged photo of Mo Yangyang when he left.
As a matter of fact, Latiao did not hate Xie Xize. He had only taken his anger out on him.
But it was different this time. It would be a waste not to utilize his cheapskate father!
