"Okay, Aunty, I am listening. You can speak..."
Xia Xiaofu's mother nodded her head with much difficulty and said, "Luoxi, two years ago, the reason why Xia Xiaofu decided to marry Ou Ze was... not because she wanted to. That day you were... brought away by Major General Zhou, Xiaofu's father and I were... locked up by Ou Ze. Ou Ze made use of our lives to threaten... Xiaofu. If Xiaofu did not marry him, we would have lost our lives. Xiaofu did not have any... other choice."
As she spoke, Xia Xiaofu's mother held Ou Luoxi's hand and said, "Our Xia family has only... Xiaofu and she is our only daughter. Ever since a young age, she... has been very obedient and filial. Can you understand her?"
The tears in Ou Luoxi's eyes flowed down and hit Xia Xiaofu's mother's face. He choked up painfully and said, "Yeah, I understand... I can understand..."
"That day they got married, Xiaofu gave you that... call, and that was also because, I was in a coma... in the hospital, and her father was gone... Xiaofu... it was too hard for her... She did not know anything... about you feeding blood. She thought that with your abilities... you could avoid it, but it was a pity in the end..." Xia Xiaofu's mother closed her eyes gently, and the corners of her eyes were stained with regretful tears.
"After that you were trapped... by Ou Ze... They plotted and said that you had gone missing, and Xiaofu heard it that morning... the news of you, and she fell down... directly from the top of the stairs and hurt her right eye. Her vision... started to have problems after that...
"Her father left soon after that. Xiaofu... sent her father on his last journey, and she... cut her wrists... before her father's gravestone... She attempted suicide. She held a white veil... in her hands tightly. I know... that was what you left for her. Without you, Xiaofu could not have continued on...
"I sent her over to the... hospital, and the doctors... found out... that she was pregnant. She had a baby, and she was about to become a Mummy. Because of her child, she became... strong...
"Luoxi, Little Xuyan is really your... child. I can use the reputation of the entire Xia family to guarantee that. Xiaofu... in her entire life, she only had you as her only man...
"You have to believe that Ou Ze's plotting started... a very long time ago, or maybe you had some misunderstandings towards Xiaofu, but that was... only a misunderstanding, okay? You would never know how Xiaofu was leading her life... after she married Ou Ze... Ou Ze found out that she was pregnant and forced her to... get an abortion. Xiaofu did not listen to him. Ou Ze hit her many times... That day, she was 3 months pregnant. Ou Ze... came back home in a drunken stupor. He wanted to sleep... with Xiaofu, and Xiaofu took the... scissors on the dressing table... and slit her own.. wrists. It was only then that... Ou Ze gave up.
"She was pregnant for 10 months, and Xiaofu.. had it very hard. During that period of time... it was really too hard to bear. She was in fear all the time, and the road ahead of her was even more... torturous and dark... None of us knew... where the ending was and how much more we could bear with it...
Xia Xiaofu's mother's eyes started to lose their focus. She looked at Ou Luoxi's face slowly before using both of her hands to firmly grasp his hand as she said, "Xuyan... that child, she is really... too pitiful. She likes you very much. She was over a year old and still did not know how to talk, but after seeing you come back... she started to speak. The first time that she spoke, it was to call you Daddy...
"Luoxi, treat them well okay? The past few years, in a place that you did not know, both mother and daughter have really suffered a lot..."
Ou Luoxi's shoulders started to shake. He cried out painfully and forcefully nodded his head as he replied, "Okay, okay. I will."
"That's good. That's good then..." Xia Xiaofu's mother closed her eyes slowly, and her hand drooped to the ground without any strength.
"Aunty, Aunty!" Ou Luoxi shook Xia Xiaofu's mother's shoulders. He knelt down on the ground with both knees and hugged Xia Xiaofu's mother as he sobbed."Don't go, okay? Both Xiaofu and Little Xuyan need you. After you go, how am I going to tell them about this?
"Xiao Fu would not want me anymore, and even Little Xuyan doesn't like me anymore. They are still in the hospital. Xiaofu has not awoken yet. After you leave, what should I do?
"I do not know what to do in the future..."
Ou Luoxi knelt down on the street, and he hugged Xia Xiaofu's mother as he cried painfully. The bystanders on the streets all looked over at this 1. 8m man crying so helplessly like a child at this moment...
...
Xia Xiaofu's mother was brought into the hospital, and she went to the mortuary. Ou Luoxi bought the graveyard plot next to Xia Xiaofu's father and used it as Xia Xiaofu's mother's graveyard. This was the best spot that Xia Xiaofu's mother could rest in.
Xia Xiaofu still had not woken up. Ou Luoxi stood beside the small window to look at her lie down on the bed silently. Little Xuyan was seated down by the side of the bed. She perched herself on the head of the bed as she slept.
Ou Luoxi gently opened the door to the hospital ward and walked inside.
He lowered his gaze down to look at Xia Xiaofu's small face. She'd lost too much blood, and her face looked sickly pale. There was no warmth or energy in her body. If not for the oxygen mask she was wearing on her mouth, her breathing was not clear, and he was going to suspect that she would have already left him and gone far away.
He sat down on the other side of the bed before slowly holding her left hand. Her hand was very cold, and he held her left hand firmly in both hands.
"Xiaofu, yesterday inside the room, you told me the matters that happened in the past. At that time, I did not say anything. Actually, I also had a lot a lot of things that I wanted to tell you."
His voice was very soft. He used the tone that couples used between one another, but his murmuring was mixed with him choking up.
"Ever since I was born, I was an orphan. My mother was really someone's... mistress. There were times when I felt that both Ou Ze and Chen Ni hated me so much, and they all had a valid reason for doing so. My mother was not morally right, and I should not have come to this world.
"When I was young, my life had warmth in it. It was what my master and the temple gave to me, but after that... I saw the temple burned to ruins before my own eyes. Master collapsed in a pool of blood... before I was sold off, and I was a thief who snatched other people's things. I was just like a rat that was hit by everyone in the streets... After that, I went into the depths of the mountain, and I was together with my lone wolf...
"I thought that my life would be just like that, but the year I was 18, I met you. You were the first person that I'd met in 10 years, and at the first moment I saw you, I froze for a long time, because... I'd never seen... such a beautiful girl... like you. You looked... like a fairy who had come down from the Heavens...
"I was very lucky that you were running a fever and were in a blur at that time, because only like that, you would not see me in a mess... I just had a few leaves covering my body. Compared to you, I was black and dirty... I saw the things inside your bag. I did not know what was inside. What I knew well was this deep forest and wild fruits...
"The few days that I was together with you, you recovered. I went to look for some water for you to drink, and when I returned, I saw Ou Ze hugging you. He kissed your hair.... and you left with Ou Ze...
"The first time you saw me was on set, and at that time, you must have not known that the first time I saw you was inside the Ou home. I had just brought into the Ou family for not too long. The helpers in the Ou family gave me leftovers and also hit and scolded me behind the scenes. I was locked inside a small room, and I was just like an animal as I was mocked and viewed by others... There was suddenly a day when you came. You came over to the Ou home as guests together with your parents..."
