novelLittle Xuyan Is The Best Present You've Given Me
| ← Ch.0739 | Ch.0741 → |
Someone left, and someone came. Like Fourth Uncle and Gong Ling, everyone looked at one another and did not say anything. The atmosphere in the corridor was so quiet that it was stressful.
Little Xuyan moved and hugged Xia Xiaofu's mother's neck tight. Her childish eyes were full of fear as they widened. She pursed her small lips and was about to cry, but she did not cry."Grandma, I think I saw my Mummy just now."
Xia Xiaofu's mother slowly regained her senses. Little Xuyan's small and naïve face was enlarged before her eyes. The tears in her eyes flowed down relentlessly, she turned her gaze to the side to look at Ou Luoxi who was in front of her as she said, "Is that... my daughter?"
Ou Luoxi did not have any expression on his face. In the eyes of outsiders, he was a fool.
Xia Xiaofu's mother broke out into loud sobs, and she could not breathe suddenly. Her eyes closed, and she fainted immediately.
"Ay, Madam Xia!" Someone stepped forward to help Xia Xiaofu's mother who had fainted, and Gong Ling quickly stretched her hand out to carry Little Xuyan who almost fell down. The entire situation was a mess.
"Madam Xia has gone into shock. Send her over to the hospital quickly!" someone loudly shouted.
"Wahhh..." Little Xuyan opened her small lips and broke out into sobs. She used both her hands and feet to push Gong Ling. Her small hands were stretched out to Xia Xiaofu's mother, and she cried out painfully as she said, "Grandma, I want Grandma.. woo woo. Mummy... I want Mummy..."
Gong Ling felt extremely bad as she comforted Little Xuyan. Mummy and Grandma were her entire world. This one-year-old's world had just collapsed. Her world was full of strangers, and she was so scared.
Nobody could comfort this weak one-year-old girl.
...
In the night, Ah Li rushed to the villa, and he asked the helpers, "Where is Young Master?"
The helpers guessed that something big had happened, because when Young Master came back today, he seemed to have lost his soul, and Miss Xia also had not returned with him.
The helper carefully stretched her finger out to point towards the room upstairs as she said, "Young Master is inside the room and has not come out."
Ah Li quickly went upstairs.
This time, he did not knock on the door, and he opened the room door directly. The room was very dark. The curtains were all drawn tight with no moonlight or fresh air outside coming in. There was a strong smell of cigarettes in the room; it was the scent of loneliness.
"Young Master." Ah Li walked into the room, and he looked at the person on the bed.
Ou Luoxi sat down on the bed, and one of his long legs was stretched forward. His wrist was placed on his kneecap. He bent his waist and lowered his gaze down as he smoked. The carpet was littered with numerous cigarette butts, and the ash from the cigarettes landed on the clean white sheets, all over the place.
The room was too dark, and Ah Li could not see his face at all. If not for the fact that he was smoking non stop, he looked just like a wooden block.
After a very long time, his voice was hoarse as he said, "She..."
"Young Master, Miss Xia is still in surgery. The wound on her wrist is too deep, and there is one artery that is 80% broken. There is a very big difficulty in this surgery. Miss Xia has lost too much blood. Even if we manage to save her, the doctors said that it would be very hard for her to make it, and they are afraid that there would be many side effects.
"Also, Madam Xia woke up after she was sent to the hospital, and she is outside the operating theatre together with Little Young Miss right now. This pair of grandmother and grandchild, especially Little Young Miss, doesn't want anyone to touch them, but Young Master doesn't have to be worried. Our people are on guard all the time, and there will not be any problems."
Ou Luoxi did not say anything. He continued to raise his hand up as he smoked, but Ah Li noticed that his right hand that he used to smoke could not help but shake.
"Young Master, Miss Xia sent an envelope to the office this morning. It is for you." Ah Li stepped forward and placed the envelope on the bed before he left the room.
Ah Li left, and the entire room regained its deathly silence again. Ou Luoxi did not move until the cigarette in his hand burnt out.
Slap! He switched the ceiling lights in the room on.
The sudden amount of lighting in the room made him feel uncomfortable. He closed his eyes, and when he opened his eyes again, his eyes were already full of red blood vessels, and he took the envelope in his hands.
There were no words written on the envelope. He slowly moved his hands to open the envelope, then took the documents placed inside out.
This was a DNA report written all in English proving the relationship between relatives. He flipped the report to the last page, and the results showed that Ou Luoxi and Xia Xuyan were related by blood.
And beneath the lowest part of the page, there were neatly written words — Little Xuyan is the best gift that you have given me, and I will leave this present for you now. Please treat her well.
Ou Luoxi looked at the written words numerous times, and he flipped the pages to the back. He wanted to look for anything else that she wrote, but there was nothing. The last words she left for him were so simple.
It was so simple, and she did not say anything about him.
His right hand was trembling as he touched the result of the DNA test. The tears that he'd been holding back eyes flowed out. He clenched his fist and placed it in his mouth as he bit down on it, and he sobbed out softly.
Little Xuyan...
Little Xu Yan was his daughter!
And he actually did not know anything about it until now.
Gosh. What did he do exactly?
He knew how cowardly he was. He was so cowardly that he did not have any courage to visit her in the hospital. He was afraid that she would just leave like that, and she would really sneak away from his life just like that.
So he hid here. He wanted to sleep. Maybe after sleeping for a night, all of the nightmares would disappear. When he opened his eyes, she would still smile towards him gently while she stood underneath the bright lights...
But his head was hurting so badly. He was unable to close his eyes at all. He wanted to use the taste of cigarettes to numb himself, but all of these things were just a lie.
He was so awake.
Ou Luoxi got up from the bed, and he opened the door as he ran out.
...
The Spyker was at its fastest speed as it weaved through the roads in the city. The neon lights in the city shone through the windows and down onto his face. With his good looks, even at this moment, he was extremely handsome and beautiful.
His eyes were all blurry, and those hot tears could not be controlled as they flowed down. His mind went back to the day that Little Xuyan dashed over to hug his thighs and called him Daddy with her childish voice...
But that day outside the condominium, he shook Little Xuyan off harshly. He said that she made him lose her appetite. He even said that she was the wild child of his Mummy and another man...
Ou Luoxi curled the corners of his lips up slowly. He laughed softly. He was laughing and crying at the same time. He'd never known that he was leading such a life of failure before.
Xia Xiaofu's cheeky and beautiful face appeared in his mind once again. Two days ago, she'd listened to him, and she became so obedient, but he knew that she was displeased with him. Otherwise... she would not be so cruel that she would not say anything to him even in her last words.
She left just like that, without any care for him.
The small and big face could not stop spinning in his mind. He felt that his own heart was torn in two, and his life because of these two girls, every breath that he took was painful.
It was so painful that his entire body was suffering.
The car stopped at the hospital. He rushed upstairs, and the red light outside the operating theatre was still lit up. That woman was still lying on the ice-cold operating table.
He could not do anything at all.
