The gate of the Qiao family’s mansion was closed. Xia Ning got off her car and rang the bell.
The security guard came and saw Xia Ning. He immediately opened the door and asked, “Is Miss Xia coming to see the young master?”
Xia Ning nodded, “Yes. Has Enoch been fine in this period of time?”
“The young master was hospitalized some time ago. He’s at home these days.”
“What did you say?!” Xia Ning’s expression instantly changed. He was hospitalized? She stepped forward to seize the guard’s clothes and asked in a low voice, “What’s the matter with Enoch?”
The guard was shocked. Seeing the stern woman before him, he opened his mouth and answered, “The young master…”
Xia Ning felt dizzy as if her brain blew up. She suddenly released the guard before he finished speaking and rushed straight inside.
The guard paused for a while. Gazing at Xia Ning’s back, he hurried to shout, “Miss Xia, drive your car. Your car…”
However, Xia Ning seemed to not hear him. She rushed towards the main villa. At this moment, she could not hear anything. There was only one voice resounding in her head: Enoch was ill. She felt ill, too.
Her high-heeled shoes were not suitable for running. After a few steps, Xia Ning took off her shoes altogether, threw them aside, and ran forward with naked feet.
About five minutes later, Qiao Yu drove back. Seeing the Maserati parked at the gate, Qiao Yu brightened his dark eyes. He looked towards the guard, “Who came?”
“Master, Miss Xia came. When she heard the young master fell ill, she rushed in and left her car here.” The guard stated truthfully, while he remained speechless within himself. The gate was far from the main villa. Driving would be faster than running anyway. Did she pretend to be so concerned in order to arouse the master’s pity? Look, as soon as she ran, the master came back. These days, women’s minds were really complicated. Nevertheless, the young master really liked this Miss Xia! As the master loved the young master so much, it seemed not impossible that he would marry her for it. After all, the young master’s biological mother had never appeared.
On hearing this, Qiao Yu frowned and drove in. Shortly afterward, he saw the high-heels thrown at the roadside.
Gao Wanhua had been watching TV with Enoch. When she heard the sound from the doorway, she looked towards it.
She just saw Xia Ning standing at the door. Showing surprise, she stood up and said gently, “Xia Ning, you came.” Seeming to perceive something different, she directed her gaze towards Xia Ning’s naked feet. Why didn’t she wear shoes?
Hearing his grandma’s voice, Enoch instantly looked towards the doorway. As soon as he saw Xia Ning, he immediately said happily, “Mummy…”
Xia Ning’s mind did not return to reality until she heard Enoch’s crisp voice. Her eyesight grew clear to look at Enoch’s little face. At that moment, she felt enormously grateful to God for keeping him safe and sound.
Seeing Xia Ning still standing there, Enoch directly left the sofa and rushed before her. He hugged her legs and looked up at her. “Mummy, you finally came back to see me. I missed you very much.”
Gazing at Enoch’s little face, Xia Ning found him obviously thinner. His illness must have been serious. Otherwise, he did not need to be hospitalized.
She squatted down to touch his face. She looked at him and whispered, “Mummy also missed you. Sorry, Mummy was not by your side when you fell ill. It was all my fault.” It was really good that he was still there and close enough to touch.
