When we arrived at the hospital, the entire hospital had been sealed off.
"Young Master." Everyone greeted him. Yu An and Li Shi were also in the crowd.
Cheng Ming hurriedly greeted him in the hall, "Young Master, Mr. Fei is not in good condition."
Night Owl's expression darkened, "What did Kevin say?"
"I'm afraid... time is running out. Everyone should be prepared."
Night Owl breathed heavier and said nothing.
"Let's not talk about anything now. Let's go upstairs first." Cheng Ming glanced at Bai Suye again, "Miss Bai, Mr. Fei is in a very unstable condition right now. I'm worried that seeing you might cause him to have too much emotional fluctuation. So... please wait downstairs."
Ye Xiao tightened Bai Suye's hand and looked back at her, "Let Yu An take you back to the hotel first. The hospital is cold, don't stay here."
"Okay. Don't worry about me. It's more important to go see your godfather first."
Ye Xiao nodded, gave some instructions to Yu An, and then followed Cheng Ming upstairs.
… … …
Ye Xiao stood in the ward and looked at his foster father lying on the bed with tubes inserted all over his body. He suddenly felt that this was the downfall of a generation of heroes. At this moment, there was no trace of the past glory. The man lying there was just an ordinary old man.
Moreover, he is a lonely old man.
As Night Owl approached, he could see a flicker of light in his half-open eyes. He looked a little sad.
Cheng Ming sighed and whispered, "Mr. Fei has been dreaming about his former lover a lot lately, and his health is getting worse."
The Night Owl made no sound.
"In fact, Mr. Fei is somewhat regretful. When he killed the girl with his own hands, he didn't know that she was pregnant with his child. If Mr. Fei hadn't taken action, he would be surrounded by children and grandchildren now!"
It was also the first time that Ye Xiao heard about the child, and his usually reserved face showed a hint of shock.
"But, people always have to make choices. If he hadn't done that in the beginning, Mr. Fei wouldn't have all this wealth now." Cheng Ming pondered for a moment and looked at Ye Xiao, "Young Master, you are still young. You have to think carefully about every step of your life. In the past, Mr. Fei hoped that you would follow his path, but now... I'm afraid even he finds this path too hard to walk."
Cheng Ming watched Ye Xiao grow up, and he also knew Ye Xiao's current situation, so he couldn't help but say a few more words.
Night Owl had a calm expression and deep eyes. In the end, he just said calmly: "I will never follow the path of my adoptive father."
Because, if there really comes a day...she really betrays him again, he will go to hell with her!
After all, he was not his adoptive father, and he could not endure this long and lonely life alone.
… … …
Four o'clock in the morning.
When Ye Xiao came down from upstairs and saw the person standing in the hospital lobby, his heart tightened, and then, an indescribable complex emotion rushed to the deepest part of his heart.
It's already this late, and in such cold weather, but she hasn't left yet.
She was wearing a windbreaker inside and the cotton coat he bought outside. The tall figure was walking back and forth in the hall. He could only see her back, but her back was like a beautiful scenery, which made him a little dazzled.
"Susu." He spoke, his voice a little hoarse.
When she heard his voice, she turned around. When she saw him, she stood there and smiled, "Are you okay?"
Night Owl looked at her deeply.
It was very cold in the hospital lobby. Although she was wearing a scarf, her face was still red from the cold.
Night Owl walked over and held her hand in his. As expected, it was cold without any temperature at all.
"Didn't I ask Yu An to send you away?" Ye Xiao frowned, "How does he do things?"
"Don't blame him, and don't be angry. It's me who refuses to leave. He can't carry me out."
Ye Xiao looked at her solemnly, held her hand, and tucked it into his shirt. Her cold hand pressed against his hot skin. Bai Suye was afraid that he would get cold, so she shrank her hand, but he held it tightly, "Leave it there, don't move."
Bai Suye stopped struggling and just looked at him with concern.
His face was full of fatigue.
I didn't sleep last night and have been in the hospital till now, so naturally my body is a little exhausted.
"Why don't you leave?"
"I can't sleep alone if I go back anyway, so it's better for me to stay here with you."
"What's good about that? You're frozen like this." Night Owl looked a little unhappy.
Bai Suye sniffed and said, "Are we going to stand here like this until dawn?"
"Go back to the hotel."
Bai Suye pulled her hands out of his clothes and rubbed her knees, "My knees are a little bit stiff from the cold..."
Without saying anything, Ye Xiao directly picked her up horizontally. She cried softly and hugged his neck tightly with both hands, "If you hold me like this, your brothers outside..."
“They actually know what’s going on.”
only…
These things have not been discussed openly yet, but it is only a matter of time.
Bai Suye pressed her cold face against his chest, listening to his steady heartbeat and feeling his warmth, and then she felt her body gradually warming up.
"How is Mr. Fei?" she asked after getting in the car.
Night Owl sat in the driver's seat and buckled her seat belt. When he heard her question, he looked up at her and said, "What do you want him to be like?"
Bai Suye knew that Ye Xiao was asking him seriously, "If it was before, I would not have mercy on him, but now..."
She paused and looked at Night Owl seriously, "I don't want anything to happen to him, simply because he is your adoptive father and you have feelings for him. I'm trying my best to love him as well as his family."
Night Owl's heart trembled, and a gleam of light flashed across his eyes. He held her hand tightly, and gently stroked the back of her hand with his thumb. He had a lot to say, but for a moment, he said nothing.
He knew that she was trying very hard to accommodate him.
She is trying to accept people and things that she once could not accept.
if…
All of this came from her heart, not just acting.
"Night Owl?" Seeing him in a daze, she called him.
He came back to his senses and shook his head, "Godfather can still hold on for a while. However, it may be difficult for him to hold on for a long time."
Bai Suye had no words to comfort him. Ye Xiao had experienced too many separations and deaths, and he always knew how to adjust himself. All she could do was to accompany him.
———
In the next few days, Bai Suye would go to the hospital to see Ferens whenever she was free, and personally make soup and send it to him.
For the first two days, whenever Ferens got excited, he would fight her and spill the soup she brought all over the floor. Bai Suye did not give up and went there as usual.
In the next two days, I don't know if he lost the energy to find fault with her or succumbed to her stubbornness, anyway, he stopped being so mean to her and even drank a few sips of soup for her sake. When he was in a good mood, he would also make various requests for her soup.
Bai Suye was patient and let him find fault with her work, and she would just make improvements the next day.
