Not the first time Xiao Liuliu had fallen sick.
This child, who was usually very active and could torment everyone in the villa to exhaustion, was suddenly lying on the bed, completely still.
Her little face was ghastly pale. Even her breathing sounded weak…
It was the first time he felt afraid since he had become the president of the Yu Corporation.
He was afraid that not knowing how to take care of her properly would cost this tiny, delicate thing’s life.
It was at that moment he had realized the meaning of the word, “Father”.
He rushed Xiao Liuliu to the hospital and stayed with her for a few days. Only when the doctor had repeatedly told him that Xiao Liuliu was very healthy and would live a long life, was he willing to bring her back home.
Yu Yuehan honed his knowledge of childcare during that period.
At the same time, he kept thinking, which woman would be so cold-hearted to abandon her child…
At the thought of it, the scene from the video filled his mind.
Yu Yuehan’s breathing became heavier.
Nian Xiaomu had also thought of the same problem.
She did not know what she was doing when Xiao Liuliu was one year old.
She remembered that Tan Bengbeng said that she was unconscious. However, the surveillance camera had caught her carrying Xiao Liuliu to the Yu Corporation.
If she really was the one who had taken Xiao Liuliu to Yu Yuehan, without caring about Xiao Liuliu…
“Let Xiao Liuliu lie down flat for a while. I’ll get a towel and try to lower her temperature,” said Nian Xiaomu. She had a slight urge to cry as she felt guilty towards the father and daughter duo. Very quickly, she stood up and walked into the bathroom.
When she came out of the bathroom, Xiao Liuliu was lying on the bed.
Yu Yuehan was not in the room.
She looked around and only spotted him because of the spark from the cigarette end. On the balcony, he had blended in with the night sky.
Yu Yuehan was not addicted to smoking.
He would only smoke when he was feeling very annoyed or extremely depressed.
She felt very bad when she saw him smoke on the balcony, precisely because she knew about it.
They were all putting up with it.
He did not fault her for things that had happened in the past.
However, there were some things which could not be forgotten, even if one was willing to do so…
As long as they were still together, they would be forced to face it.
When Yu Yuehan extinguished the cigarette and walked out, he saw Nian Xiaomu in a daze, in front of the bed.
Meeting her red eyes, he stopped in his tracks. Then, he walked up to her and pulled her into his embrace. In a heavy tone, he said, “I did not sleep for a few days. I smoked to keep myself awake. Don’t think too much about it.”
“…”
Nian Xiaomu was taken aback. The hand that was embracing her knocked her head twice.
Then, he retracted his hand and took care of Xiao Liuliu with her.
When Xiao Liuliu’s fever had subsided, they were very exhausted and slept in each other’s embrace.
Dawn.
The noise from the phone woke Yu Yuehan up. He muted his phone and took a glance at Nian Xiaomu, who was in his embrace.
She had only fallen asleep when dawn was breaking. The dark circles under her eyes were still visible.
Yu Yuehan moved her head gently from his chest and walked towards the balcony with his phone.
He returned the call.
The assistant’s excited voice could be heard.
“Young Master Han. I have followed your instructions and done an investigation. I have just received the news that Tan Bengbeng did not board the plane, but took a shuttle bus. The surveillance camera caught Tan Bengbeng getting her ticket inspected, but no one saw her board the plane! She could still be alive!”
