"Xiaoyi, you're here." Mrs. Huang just woke up and saw Yao Yiyi sitting beside the hospital bed. She smiled in surprise, "When did you arrive? Why didn't you wake me up?"
Mrs. Huang hurriedly got up from the hospital bed. Yao Yiyi went to help her and said worriedly: "Mom, be careful."
As soon as Mrs. Huang saw Yao Yiyi, her complexion improved a lot.
"I'm fine, I just missed you so much. I didn't want to tell you about my illness, but I was afraid I'd never see you again, so I called you secretly." Mrs. Huang leaned on the pillow and said He looked at Yao Yiyi with a keen eye and said, "If you are doing well, I will feel at ease."
Yao Yiyi's eyes were sore, and she smiled reluctantly: "Mom, stop talking nonsense. I don't like to hear about death. I was in a car accident when I was pregnant with An'an. Mother and son died twice in my life. I have never given up hope, and so have you. Don't have such thoughts, I'm still thinking about you helping me take care of my grandson after I have my second child. This is what you promised me, so I can't go back on it."
Mrs. Huang only grasped one key point.
"Have you been in a car accident? Was it serious? Did you have any sequelae? How could you have been in a car accident? Let me see, you are really worried about me." Mrs. Huang asked anxiously, "It doesn't matter. I heard you talk about it, why is your child so miserable? Ouch... "
The emotion was so intense that Mrs. Huang had a headache. Waves of pain swept over her. She covered her head and fell on the bed.
Yao Yiyi said urgently: "Qingheng, go call the doctor."
Ou Qingheng turned around to leave the ward, and Mrs. Huang gasped and said weakly: "Qingheng, stop screaming, I'm fine."
Ou Qingheng is back.
When the headache subsided, Mrs. Huang smiled weakly at Yao Yiyi and said: "Xiaoyi, mom is fine, don't worry, mom will live a long life to help you take care of your children, and let you do whatever you want. Well, Mom finally found you, how could I be willing to leave you so early."
Yao Yiyi felt anxious. She couldn't figure out what kind of maternal love it was that made an elder think about her daughter even if he had a malignant brain tumor.
Yao Yiyi was lying when she said she wasn't moved. Among so many elders, perhaps only Mrs. Huang loved her sincerely. She treated her without any impurities and almost escaped her heart.
If it were her, if she had been separated from her daughter for more than twenty years, she could not guarantee that she would be on equal terms with the children who grew up around her, but Mrs. Huang obviously favored her more.
This may be to make up for the guilt of not being with her all these years.
In fact, she doesn't have to be like this.
"Mom, if you want to help me find a grandson, you have to take good care of yourself and get well soon. Otherwise, when I get pregnant and give birth, I won't be able to handle it all by myself. You don't want me to work so hard, right? "Yao Yi followed the temptation and said: "I just recognized a mother who really loves me. You won't let me gain and lose again, right? I will hate you if you do this."
"Okay, okay, mom must take good care of her illness and try to get well soon so that she can raise your grandson." Mrs. Huang shouted, looking at Yao Yiyi with eyes full of tenderness.
When Huang Yiyi and Huang Lingxuan came in, what they saw was Mrs. Huang looking at Yao Yiyi with a smile on her face.
Huang Yiyi looked at Yao Yiyi's back with a hint of complexity in her eyes.
She didn't expect that her mother would find Yao Yiyi after all.
She felt mixed emotions about the Huang family accompanying her mother for treatment, but what made her mother smile was the eldest daughter who had been missing for more than 20 years. This feeling can only be experienced by those who have been there. Got it.
She is no worse than Yao Yiyi, but she has overshadowed her.
Huang Lingxuan touched her hand, and she looked over in confusion. Huang Lingxuan shook his head at her, signaling her not to mess around.
Huang Yiyi smiled reluctantly.
"Mom, I'm here to see you. How do you feel today?" Huang Yiyi calmed down the complexity in her eyes and said.
Mrs. Huang waved to her children and said: "Yiyi, Ling Xuan, come here to say hello to your sister and brother-in-law. They came all the way from T City and are tired and sleepy. Please help me buy something for them." Food, especially An'an food, can't let children go hungry."
Huang Lingxuan said gently: "Mom, I'm going to buy it right now." Then he looked at Yao Yiyi, "Sister, brother-in-law, what do you want to eat?"
Yao Yiyi said: "You can just buy whatever you want. An An is not picky about food, so you can buy him some porridge."
An An said in a coquettish voice, "You also want to buy me two chicken legs. I want the golden ones."
Huang Lingxuan reached out and patted his head, and said with a smile: "An An, just call me uncle and I will buy it for you right away."
An An said calmly: "Uncle, you are really handsome."
Huang Lingxuan was completely pleased and said with a smile: "You're so good, uncle will buy it for you right now."
Huang Lingxuan left the ward, while Huang Yiyi seemed to deliberately avoid Yao Yiyi's sight, never looking at Yao Yiyi.
"Yiyi, what's wrong with you today? Why don't you say hello to your sister?" Mrs. Huang said with some dissatisfaction.
Huang Yiyi said: "Mom, I'm just worried about your condition, and I didn't mean not to talk to my sister."
Mrs. Huang said: "My illness is just like that. There is nothing to worry about. Your sister's family of three came all the way to Shanghai. You should chat with them more."
Huang Yiyi felt an evil fire in her heart, but when she thought of Mrs. Huang's illness, she endured it.
After all, she still loves Mrs. Huang.
"Sister, hello brother-in-law, thank you for coming all the way to see my mother." Huang Yiyi said insincerely.
Yao Yiyi smiled and said: "Mom is sick, so we should come and see her."
Huang Yiyi licked her lips, but she didn't have a guilty conscience to deal with Yao Yiyi.
The atmosphere in the ward suddenly calmed down.
Fortunately, Huang Lingxuan quickly bought back a lot of food, breaking the atmosphere in the ward.
Huang Yiyi used the excuse that her chest was tight and wanted to go out for a walk. Although Mrs. Huang knew that she was making an excuse, she still let her go out.
Huang Yiyi left the ward, walked casually in the corridor, and saw her father in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in the corner.
"Dad, why are you here?" Huang Yiyi shouted.
Huang's father had just finished smoking the last cigar, turned his head and said, "Is your mother awake?"
Huang Yiyi looked at the cigarette butts on the floor, frowned, and said, "Dad, why do you smoke so many cigarettes?"
"It's nothing, I just want to smoke suddenly." Huang's father repeated his old words: "Is your mother awake?"
"Wake up." Huang Yiyi was a little downcast: "Dad, Yao Yiyi is here, why don't you drive her away?"
Father Huang turned around and looked out the window with somewhat cloudy eyes, filled with unknown emotions.
"Your mother is like this. I don't want to do anything to make her angry. I have been entangled with her for more than thirty years. I thought she would not leave me alone. Unexpectedly, I still overestimated myself." Father Huang His voice was filled with a strong sense of exhaustion: "Seeing that she was really admitted to the hospital and might leave me in the near future, I realized how ridiculous my previous persistence was. I don't know why. When you were young, you would have suspected her of cheating and then sent your eldest daughter away? If you had not taken advantage of the situation back then, maybe your mother and I would have been a model couple in the eyes of others in these years."
As a result, he and his wife became strangers for more than 20 years due to a slight change in his mind. In his later years, the relationship became even more tense, and they even got divorced. He didn't know the reason for his persistence.
"Dad, do you regret it?" Huang Yiyi said: "Do you want to recognize your sister?"
"As long as your mother is happy," Huang's father said.
Huang Yiyi pursed her lips, her expression a little gloomy.
"You go back and stay with your dad." Huang's father said.
Huang Yiyi smiled bitterly and said: "Mom now has a sister, how can she still think of my daughter? Dad, you don't know how happy mom is smiling in the ward, as if my sister is her only relative."
“…”
Father Huang's expression also became a little gloomy.
The father and daughter stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in silence, facing each other. Neither of them knew what they were thinking.
After Yao Yiyi and Ou Qingheng sent An An out of the hospital, the father and daughter returned to the ward.
Mrs. Huang's complexion has improved a lot, and with Yao Yiyi also coming to the hospital, her attitude towards Huang's father has also improved.
"How are you feeling today?" Father Huang asked gently.
Mrs. Huang said: "It's pretty good. My head doesn't hurt anymore. As soon as Xiaoyi appeared, I felt full of energy."
Father Huang lowered his eyes, hiding the gloom in his eyes.
"Master, I'm very grateful that you didn't sneer at Xiaoyi for my sake today. I don't know why you thought she was a bastard, but I think I won't be able to live long with this kind of disease. For many people Now that the matter is over, I beg you to recognize her because I am about to die. She is really your daughter, and I don’t want me to be wronged like this." Mrs. Huang looked at him, Said sincerely.
Father Huang raised his head, met her eyes, sighed faintly, and said: "As long as you recover from your illness, I will recognize her. I was wrong back then. I was jealous that you and Li Sheng were close. It happened that you I was pregnant with another child at the time, and I was blinded by jealousy. I thought that the child was his, so even if the DNA test showed that she was my child, I was still paranoid. Alas, in the end, it was still my paranoia. You have suffered all these years for harming this family.”
After hearing this, Mrs. Huang was in a trance for a moment. If Huang's father hadn't mentioned Li Sheng, she would have buried him deep in her heart in the sea of time passing by, and only remembered him occasionally in the dead of night.
Li Sheng was her college senior at the time. The two of them had the same interests, hobbies, and ambitions, so they still became very close after they started working in society. However, their relationship was pure and their friendship was as light as water. , she did not expect that their interactions would cause Huang's father to misunderstand.
Li Sheng was in her thirties when she accidentally fell off a mountain and died during a mountain climbing accident. At that time, she was very sad to lose a good friend with whom she could talk about everything. Over the years, there has always been a place for him in her heart, but she did not expect that Father Huang would think that they were so miserable.
Mrs. Huang didn't know whether to be angry or sad, and said in a calm voice: "Li Sheng and I have nothing, and you separated Xiaoyi and me for more than 20 years because of unfounded jealousy?"
Father Huang was silent.
Mrs. Huang felt a strong sense of exhaustion in her heart. She said, "You all should go out. I want to be alone."
"mom… "
"go out."
Huang's father and Huang Yiyi could only be driven out in despair.
Mrs. Huang stared at the ceiling with wide eyes. She didn't know if she was thinking of the past, or she was blaming Huang's father for being petty, which caused her and Yao Yiyi to be separated for more than 20 years.
