Yu Xiao looked at her mother and shed tears: "Why...why are you willing to tell me now? Why don't you keep this secret forever? Why?"
"Xiaoxiao, I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!" Ren Zhiping held her daughter tightly and apologized continuously.
"Uncle Ming... my dad... knows?" That kind face flashed before Yu Xiao's eyes. No wonder she never felt alienated every time she was with him, as if he was one of her relatives. It turned out that he was her biological father!
“He… knows…” Hearing her daughter ask her this, Ren Zhiping cried even harder.
"When did he know?" Yu Xiao stared at his mother and asked.
"This morning... Xiaoxiao, I'm sorry, I wanted to tell him that he and Bingyan have a daughter, but who knew... he was so excited... that he had a car accident on the way here..."
Yu Xiao's body suddenly stiffened, and he stared at his mother in disbelief: "What did you just say? Who, who got into a car accident?"
"Yes... it's your dad... He, he had a car accident on the highway. It was the traffic police who called. He was seriously injured and was sent to the nearest hospital..." Ren Zhiping didn't dare to look into her daughter's eyes and answered while looking at the ground.
Yu Xiaoteng stood up from the sofa and said, "You...how could you do this?" Then he ran towards the door crying, and Kang Shaonan hurriedly chased after him.
Yu Xiao quickly opened the door, turned around and looked at her parents hatefully: "I have known him for such a long time, only a few months, and you are telling me the truth now... If anything happens to him, I will never forgive you in my life!" After that, she ran out. Kang Shaonan didn't care about anything else and hurried to catch up with his wife.
"Xiaoxiao..." Ren Zhiping stood up and tried to stumble to the door, but Yu Jiahou hugged her and said, "Don't chase her! Let her go see Ming Yusong..."
“Husband…” Ren Zhiping hugged her husband and burst into tears in Yu Jiahou’s arms.
The elevator came in quickly and went down quickly, but Yu Xiao felt it was too slow. As soon as the elevator stopped on the first floor, she ran out impatiently, rushing out like a headless fly. Kang Shaonan chased after her, took his wife's hand, led her to the car, and opened the door for her.
"Don't worry about me, just go start the car! Please, hurry up!" Yu Xiao reached out to close the car door while crying, quickly fastened his seat belt, and wanted to run to his father immediately to see what happened to him.
Knowing his wife was anxious, Kang Shaonan quickly got in the car and started the car to the hospital in Q City. The car was speeding on the road, the wind was ringing in their ears, and the scenery was rapidly receding in their sight, but in Yu Xiao's opinion at this time, the car was still too slow.
"Kang Shaonan, did you hear that? Uncle Ming is my dad! He is my dad! I have known him for such a long time, how come I didn't think of it? Then Mingyao...she is my sister? Sister..." Yu Xiao kept talking to herself while crying, tears flowing freely down her cheeks.
I never thought that he would be my biological father!
No wonder I felt an innate sense of familiarity with him the moment I first met him. Now I know that it was because his blood was flowing in my body!
"Dad... please don't be in any way... I beg you... please don't be in any way..." Yu Xiao looked out the window excitedly, as the scenes of his meetings with his father kept flashing before his eyes.
"Xiaoxiao, Dad will be fine! Don't worry too much..." Kang Shaonan looked at the road ahead, reached out and held his wife's hand, comforting her slowly.
"Oh, right! My sister... My sister can't see... I need to give her a call..." Thinking of her poor sister, Yu Xiao's tears flowed like a river again. With trembling hands, she took out her cell phone from her bag, found Mingyao's number and called. But after dialing again and again, the phone only told her that the other party's phone was turned off.
"Kang Shaonan... my sister's phone is turned off... Is something wrong with her? She can't see..." Thinking of his father and his blind sister, Yu Xiao was about to collapse mentally.
"The battery must be out of power, don't think too much!" Kang Shaonan looked at his wife with heartache and said softly.
“But this never happened every time I called her before. Something must have happened to her… It must be… Sister…” Yu Xiao became more and more scared the more she thought about it. She burst into tears as she looked at the number on her phone.
Kang Shaonan looked at his wife's expression on the verge of collapse, stopped the car by the road with a squeak, and reached out to hold her in his arms: "You are pregnant, I believe your father will be fine, he likes you so much, and your sister Mingyao, she may have dropped her phone at home because of nervousness, or she may not have charged it in time, so the call can't be connected. Don't always think about the worst, no one will be in trouble, understand?" As he spoke, he gently pushed his wife away, combed her slightly messy hair with his fingers, and lowered his head to kiss her forehead lightly.
"Yeah..." Yu Xiao nodded with tears in her eyes, blinking slightly and looking at him: "I'm fine, you can drive!"
"Okay!" Kang Shaonan started the car again and sped towards the highway.
The Central Hospital of Q City.
Mingyao sat nervously in the waiting chair, tears in her eyes, her hands twisted together nervously, she turned her head to look in the approximate direction of the emergency room, and prayed again and again in her heart.
When she received the call from the traffic police, she was stunned for a moment, and her mind went blank for a moment. If Zhang Mingjian had not been there, she would not even know her father's basic situation. At this moment, she was like a helpless child, tears kept falling from her eyes, wetting her skirt again and again. In the past, her father was there, although he could not see, but he managed her life in an orderly manner, and she had no pressure at all. But now, the person who fell down was her father. The moment she learned that her father was in trouble, her world fell down with him.
For the first time, she realized that without her father, she was like a useless person. She couldn't see or touch him. Even if her father was out of danger, she couldn't even do the most basic thing to take care of him.
Without her father, her life was dark!
He fumbled for his cell phone to call Yu Xiao, but found that the phone had run out of battery and turned off at some point.
"Nie Pan, I just secretly asked the doctor, and he said that Uncle Ming is likely to become a vegetable! If that's the case, have you ever thought about your future life? How can you, a blind girl, take care of your father? There is such a big tea garden. I heard from the villagers that Uncle Lin, who helps Uncle Ming manage the tea garden, sees that you are blind and has been whispering in your father's ear, saying that he can help take care of you in the future, and then the tea garden will all belong to him. The most important thing for you now is to find a close friend, and then help you to support everything. Whether it is the tea garden or you, he must be absolutely sincere! Don't you think so?" Zhang Mingjian looked at the emergency room in the distance, squatted in front of Mingyao and began to persuade her. From the moment Mingyao appeared in the village primary school, he had been thinking about marrying her home one day. Now Uncle Ming is in a coma, and the hope of waking up is not very great. For him, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and he must not miss it!
"..." Mingyao shook her head helplessly, tears still falling down her face. Zhang Mingjian's words hit her sore spot, but she had never thought about getting married. She just wanted to stay with her father for the rest of her life, but even this simple wish could not be realized now. Her heart was in a mess, and she didn't know what to do.
"I know it's difficult for you to make a decision now! But I want you to know that I like you! I fell in love with you from the first moment I saw you! As long as you agree to marry me now, I will take care of Uncle Ming like a son for the rest of your life! Nie Pan, you don't have to say anything, just nod! Marry me, okay?" Zhang Mingjian held Ming Yao's hand tightly and kept questioning her.
"I don't know! I don't know! Don't ask me!" Ming Yao kept shaking her head. She had only loved one person from the beginning to the end, but now, her father's future made her waver. If her father really couldn't wake up, she would have no other choice but to marry someone else. She was very confused, but she just didn't want to agree to him.
"Okay! I won't ask you! Then tell me now, Uncle Lin is in the tea garden. If I go back to school, how will you take care of your father here? You are blind, and you don't even know which ward he is in! Even if you knew which ward he is in, if there is anything wrong with him, can you see it the first time? You are a blind man, don't always be so stubborn. Except for me, there will be no one else in the world who will help you like this! Do you understand?" Seeing that Mingyao did not agree with him, Zhang Mingjian raised his tone, and every word he said hit Mingyao's heart.
"No! I... I'll make a phone call... Xiaoxiao won't refuse to help me! My dad treats her as his own daughter!" Mingyao thought of Yu Xiao, the girl she got along so well with. Her father once said that if anything happened in the future, Yu Xiao would definitely help him. She fumbled to get up from the waiting chair and wanted to find someone to make a phone call.
Zhang Mingjian pretended to sigh, looked at her and said, "Okay! Since you are so stubborn, then go and try it now! For your safety, I will only follow behind you, but I will not help you!"
Mingyao was indifferent to Zhang Mingjian's words. She believed that as long as she worked hard, she would definitely be able to do it. She stood up and groped for the handrail against the wall in the hospital corridor, moving forward step by step. Every time she groped for a door, she tentatively asked around: "Is anyone here? Can anyone lend me a cell phone? I need to call an emergency number, please help me!" (To be continued)
