At this moment, being back hugged by Liu Ji Fan, Tian Yuan had many thoughts just like that time.
He wondered if all of this was really meant to be like this.
He wondered why he ever met Liu Ji Fan. If he hadn't met him then he would be living happily with his family now.
His mother would have been conscious and his father would have been alive.
"I regret meeting you, Ji Fan."
He said truthfully.
Liu Ji Fan's eyes that were filled with tears went more teary and soon those tears fell down from his eyes.
These words stabbed his heart like knives. He could feel the pain piercing his chest. The pain was so much that he would have preferred to die rather than suffering from this.
But he didn't want to leave Tian Yuan too.
He stepped forward wanting to hug the man standing in front of him.
"Baby…"
"Don't."
Tian Yuan said calmly stopping Liu Ji Fan amidst whatever he was about to say.
"I want to leave with my mother, Ji Fan. I won't stop this time."
Liu Ji Fna shook his head instantly. He can't allow him to leave …at least not after this. He had seen in those images.
Tian Yuan had come to meet him that day beside that pool. He held Tian Yuan's shoulders firmly and said
"You love me. I know that you love me."
"I do."
Tian Yuan said truthfully.
A small smile graced Liu Ji Fan's lips and he was about to say something when Tia Yuan continued
"But this love is very expensive for me, Ji Fan. I can't afford to love you, Ji Fan. It has already cost me my father and now my mother…I don't want to lose her too."
"Yuan …"
Liu Ji Fan tried to hug Tian Yuan again when he saw the pain in Tian Yuan's eyes. He knew that Tian Yuan was hurting but he didn't even know what he could do.
He was also hurting.
"My mother…"
"Don't take her name in front of me."
Tian Yuan said sharply and covered his ears instantly.
"I hate her so much, Ji Fan."
Liu Ji Fan licked his lips lightly and nodded his head.
"Alright…I will not talk about her."
He said gently.
His heart ached when he saw how traumatized Tian Yuan looked at this moment. Liu Ji Fan carefully stepped forward and gently uncovered Tian Yuan's ears.
"Yuan…we won't talk about that anymore, okay? Come with me."
Tian Yuan's eyes were blank at this moment and it scared Liu Ji Fan. He didn't want him to have panic attack again.
He couldn't bear to see him in that state.
So he stroked Tian Yuan's back gently and continued to whisper in his ear
"Take a deep breath…take a deep breath Yuan…"
With this, he also continued to walk forward, Though slowly, Tian Yuan was coming back to himself. However when he did come back, he was too tired
Too tired to fight with Liu Ji Fan again.
He wanted nothing but sleep. So he did that only.
He closed his eyes and went unconscious.
It feels nice. It feels nice to be in oblivion.
That was the last thought in Tian Yuan's mind.

Mo Chen was discharged from the hospital after three days.
The little boy was very happy that he was going back home. The bright smile could be seen on his face continuously as he watched his mother and then his sister who was staggering around the room to help their mother in packing the things.
"Jiejie should rest."
Mo Chen said to his sister as his eyes went to his sister's leg. He wondered how deep his sister's wound must be to make her stagger like this after the whole three days.
At the same time, the remembrance that the wound because of him made him feel a little guilty and Mo Chen's happiness reduced to some extent.
He knew that the punishment his sister has given to him was very less. He deserved more.
Mo Roulan turned around to look at his little brother when she heard his words. Her eyes were soft and gentle but when she saw how he looked lost seeing the bandaged wound on her leg, worry flashed in her eyes.
Mo Chen has already told everything to the police yesterday. She had done the same. However, Mo Roulan was more worried about her brother.
The way he told each and every detail to the police inspector, she could feel that everything was engraved inside his mind until now.
Mo Roulan wished that Mo Chen could forget everything. On seeing the happy and cheerful Mo Chen in the last two days, she had thought the same but seeing how he was talking about this incident yesterday, she was proved wrong.
The incident had affected Mo Chen greatly.
He didn't show it but he was affected.
Fang Zhihan actually suggested that Mo Chen should see some therapist for a week only if it was possible but Mo Roulan didn't know if she should take this advice.
She knew her brother like the back of her hand.
He would never become open about his feelings in front of a stranger. And how will he , when he was not sharing anything with her when she had asked him!
Mo Roulan sighed heavily and walked towards the hospital bed.
"Chenchen"
She held her brother's face in between her hands. Mo Chen came out of his trance very soon and smiled instantly to hide the little bit of lose in his eyes that still could be seen.
However, Mo Roulan could see it.
She could see that her brother didn't smile fully like before. She could not even see the dimples on his cheek. It was a small smile …as if he was trying to assure her that everything was alright.
"What were you thinking?"
She asked her brother calmly expecting inside her heart that he would tell her the truth this time. However, Mo Chen shook his head just the last few times and said
"Nothing."
Mo Roulan sighed and smiled forcefully. She didn't want to force her brother as she feared that it would send him away from her.
She was afraid that he would start to avoid her and she never wanted to do that. However, Mo Roulan could see that her brother had changed a lot.
So much that she wondered if he will become the same again.
