Ling Anan rubbed Ling Xiaosu's head in heartache, thinking that his eyes were actually a little moist. Seeing the scene of him retreating outside the window, Ling Anan closed his eyes.
After getting off the carriage, Ling Anan helped Ling Xiaosu find a small hospital, and only after sending Ling Xiaosu to the hospital and letting the doctor see Ling Xiaosu's fever, did Ling Anan finally heave a sigh of relief.
Ling Anan sat on the chair outside the hospital anxiously, his two hands tightly clutching the bag in his chest. Just as he was about to get up to ask the doctor how Ling Xiaosu was doing, an unexpected familiar voice rang out.
"mother-in-law." Ni Tianchen walked over from the darkness at the far end, and called out in a low voice.
As he sat on the chair, he heard the familiar voice. His body immediately stiffened as the fingertips holding the bag turned white.
Ni Tianchen walked towards Ling Anan step by step with an expressionless face.
Ling Anan lowered his head and slowly tightened his grip on the bag in his hand. His lips, which had not been watered and peeled for several days, trembled up and down, feeling extremely uneasy until a pair of black leather shoes stopped right in front of his eyes.
After a long while, Ling Anan finally heard himself ask, "Son-in-law … How did you find this place? "
Ni Tianchen stood in front of the extremely uneasy Ling Anan, and looked down at him from high above. He coldly said, "It's very easy to find your mother-in-law and Xiaoxiao. It's just that I heard that Xiaoxiao had a fever while escaping with you, right?"
This "is it?" was not a question, but a affirmation.
Ni Tianchen definitely did not mention how he found them. Ling Anan licked his dry lips, swallowed his saliva, and said with unfocused eyes: "Since you can find this place, then he must be able to as well."
The "he" Ling Anan spoke of was naturally referring to Ling Xiaosu's biological father, Jiang Fengjing.
Ni Tianchen's face did not show any sign of hearing this "he", and he said lightly: "It's not like Lady mother-in-law can only hide, I can help you, it's just that Xiao Xiao has to follow by my side, she can't leave with you."
"Impossible!" Ling Anan shouted loudly. Her hysterical shout caused her to gasp for breath as she looked at Ni Tianchen, and said resolutely, "Xiaoxiao is my daughter. Don't even think about taking her away from me!"
"mother-in-law." Ni Tianchen frowned, he did not expect Ling Anan to be so excited. Yes, as long as that person did not appear, no one would take Ling Xiaosu away from her, but the situation now was beyond her control.
Ni Tianchen raised his hand and pinched the center of his brows as he patiently explained to Ling Anan, "Mother, we can't control the current situation any longer. I need to take a look at Xiaoxiao."
Ling An's lips pursed. He knew that he had been too agitated just now. After a brief pause, he said in a compromising tone, "She's asleep inside. You should go take a look, but you mustn't wake her up.
Ling Anan shifted his gaze, but his fingers were still tightly grabbing onto the bag in his hand. With a pale white voice, he warned: "If you wake her up and want her to follow you back, then at that time, don't blame me for ruthlessly trying to break you apart. You know, when you were together at that time, I was the first to agree."
Ling Anan lightly threatened Ni Tianchen but he did not care at all. In fact, Ling Anan's threats could not really affect him, but the thing that he could do nothing about was that Ling Anan was Ling Xiaosu's mother, his future mother-in-law. He had to acknowledge this threat, and he could not refute it.
"Understood, mother-in-law. I will only go in to take a look at Xiaoxiao. The army won't wake her up." Ni Tianchen promised.
Although he said that, Ni Tianchen completely forgot about it the moment he entered. What he had promised Ling Anan just now, his gaze was filled with pity as he looked at the Ling Xiaosu lying on the sickbed.
During these few days, Ling Xiaosu lost weight. She followed Ling Anan to and fro from three cities, and every time they arrived at a city, they would not be able to stay for more than a month.
Furthermore, his face was still pale and he looked weak as he laid on the sickbed. Looking at Ling Xiaosu who was behaving like this, Ni Tianchen's heart clenched tightly and his heart ached.
Ni Tianchen walked forward, bent down, lowered his head and whispered into Ling Xiaosu's ears, "Xiaoxiao."
Because he had a fever, Ling Xiaosu slept soundly, his head was dizzy and heavy, in his daze he actually heard someone calling his name by his ear. Ling Xiaosu frowned, and carefully listened for a bit, and only then did he realise that this voice sounded a little familiar, as if it was Ni Tianchen's voice.
Ni Tianchen called out his name by his ear, but how was that possible? She did not tell Ni Tianchen her location. How could Ni Tianchen be here?
Ling Xiaosu thought dizzily. Before she could think things through, she heard that familiar "Xiaoxiao" sound again, and that voice kept ringing in her ears.
She wanted to sleep comfortably, but why was the sound so annoying? Why was he constantly ringing in her ears? Did he have to disturb her sleep? Seriously, it truly made people angry.
Ling Xiaosu frowned, he was annoyed from being called, he struggled to open his eyes, and then shouted towards the voice.
When Ni Tianchen saw Ling Xiaosu opening his eyes and looked over, he was pleasantly surprised. The corners of his mouth curled up uncontrollably as he said, "Xiaoxiao, you're finally awake, how is it? Is the fever better? "
Ling Xiaosu listened to the familiar voice and familiar concern, and stared fixedly at the person in front of him for a long time. Only now did he understand that what he saw was not an illusion, and Ni Tianchen was actually right beside her.
Ling Xiaosu was a little shocked, and asked with a hoarse voice. "Am I dreaming? Why are you here? " Wasn't he supposed to still be in A City?
"You're not dreaming. I'm right here." Ni Tianchen gently looked at Ling Xiaosu as he reached out his hand to caress Ling Xiaosu's head.
Ling Xiaosu looked at Ni Tianchen in a daze and let out a long sigh, "So I wasn't dreaming, it's true." So it turns out that Ni Tianchen was really by her side, and she wasn't dreaming.
Ni Tianchen laughed, and his eyes became deep.
If he hadn't received the news that Ling Anan was in another city, he might still be searching aimlessly. However, his Xiao Xiao, who was pale and weakly laid on the ground, couldn't help at all.
"Yes, you're not dreaming. I'm right by your side." Ni Tianchen's low voice came out from the small ward.
Ling Xiaosu had already fallen asleep, but when he faintly heard this sentence, the corners of his mouth curled up, and his heart was filled with joy as he fell asleep.
She finally saw Ni Tianchen.
Oh, right, she had a lot of things she wanted to tell Ni Tianchen. She missed him a lot, missed him even when she was dreaming, and when she saw him just now, she thought she was dreaming.
Ling Xiaosu laughed and sighed in his heart. So all of this wasn't a dream, it was all true.
