Ye Xiu gave Bai Da a cursory glance, "Hmm, definitely, there’s blood, but they’re all superficial skin wounds."
"Xiuxiu, don’t worry, I’m not in pain, I’m sorry I was wrong, won’t you please not leave?"
Even at this moment, he was still looking humbly at Ye Xiu, hoping she would turn back.
"Bai Yu, bring me the cloth package inside my clothes."
He now had no strength left and could only ask Bai Yu to fetch it.
Bai Yu obediently felt for the cloth package. Upon seeing the cloth package, Bai Da’s spirit was unusually high, as if possessing that cloth package meant fearing nothing.
His eyes blazed as he stared at the cloth package, eager to have Bai Yu open it.
Bai Yu found it odd — why his father cared so much about such an unremarkable cloth package.
He obediently unfolded layer after layer.
Bai Da’s gaze was practically glued to the cloth package.
As if something incredibly important to him was inside, perhaps even his redemption.
Indeed, it wasn’t just about redemption, it was all of his hopes, but could things really go as he wished?
Bai Yu slowly unfolded it, and true, there was a bracelet inside, but it was broken. Shattered into several pieces.
"How could this be! How could it?"
Bai Da couldn’t believe it, wouldn’t believe it, until he eventually recalled, last night, Bai Zhi, Bai Xin!
Bai Da clenched his teeth, squeezing out these two names through the gaps. The bracelet was broken; how was he to keep Xiuxiu with him?
When Bai Da looked up at Ye Xiu, he found her looking back at him with a smirk.
"Do you have anything else to say, Bai Da? You don’t actually love me; you just love yourself and want to control me, turn me into what you want. You truly disgust me, utterly disgusting. I don’t want to see you anymore. Someone will come to see you later; I hope you can put on an even better performance.
Bai Yu, come with me."
After saying her piece, Ye Xiu shot Bai Yu a fierce glare. She couldn’t care less about Nan Xi, but Bai Yu, even if he was beyond saving, she wanted him to see what true pain was.
Bai Yu’s face was sullen, he wouldn’t go; his mother had become so selfish.
"You don’t have a choice."
Ye Xiu dragged Bai Yu away, and Bai Da tried to get up but kept falling over again and again. Nan Xi cried while supporting him but without any strength; the scene was ludicrous.
Reluctantly, Bai Yu was pulled by Ye Xiu to Bai Zhi’s room, only to see Ouyang.
Before this, Bai Zhi and Wu Wa, along with Fei, had successfully witnessed Ouyang’s self-directed performance,
Entering the room and calling out.
So are you blind or what?
Then pretending to have just spotted them, he began with an overly dramatic expression of surprise.
"Ah, it’s you guys. What a coincidence, what are you doing here? Playing?"
That’s right, he was rather well-dressed today, wasn’t he? A white shirt paired with jeans, quite fashionable, right?
But who comes to a hospital to play?
If not a fool, then what?
The three of them exchanged a look and confirmed the man was a fool.
"Ouyang, why are you still here? Didn’t you say you were leaving first?"
Seeing Ouyang, Bai Yu was perplexed and then narrowing his eyes at Bai Zhi, what’s the deal, were Ouyang and Bai Zhi mixing up together or what? It’s as if he didn’t exist.
"I got lost and ended up here, and then I ran into Bai Zhi and the others."
Ouyang straightened his already neat shirt, speaking as if it were perfectly normal, as if it was really so.
