As a matter of fact, she was a person of her age and she desperately wanted someone to protect her, because she felt that at least someone would love her as much as they deserved.

But now, the person who wanted to protect her and loved her as if she was his life had appeared. She actually insisted that she did not want to protect him.

Ni Tianchen looked at Ling Xiaosu's bitter smile and sighed helplessly. He reached out to pat Ling Xiaosu's head and said, "I can't stay here with you anymore. Xiao Xiao, I love you."

Ni Tianchen gave a deep glance to Ling Xiaosu, and turned around to leave the ward. That sentence was like saying "farewell", and when Ling Xiaosu heard it, he really wanted to grab onto Ni Tianchen's hand, then ruthlessly throw himself into his embrace and cry bitterly.

But in the end, she did not reach out to grab Ni Tianchen's hand. She could only lie on the sickbed and helplessly watched Ni Tianchen walk further and further away until the last door to the ward was gently opened and then closed.

Ling Xiaosu whimpered as if he could no longer hold it in. He quickly pulled up the blanket and covered his head, hiding inside it as he cried.

Ni Tianchen opened the door of the ward, and unsurprisingly, saw Ling Anan standing outside. Ling Anan turned his head, sniffed, and pretended to not sob: "You've seen her, if there's nothing else to say, you can leave."

Sigh, her heart ached for Xiaoxiao as well. However, this escape was inevitable, and she didn't want her daughter to suffer like this.

"Son-in-law." Ling Anan shouted. She seemed to be very tired from running around for the past few days, as if she had aged more than ten years in one go. Her mental state in particular seemed to have entered her old age prematurely.

Ling Anan calmed the excited emotions in his heart and continued: "I know that you are very capable, so I want to ask you a favor. "If one day Xiaoxiao's father comes looking for her, at the very least, you can't let him know of Xiaoxiao's existence while hiding it from me."

That person already took away her other daughter, and can't let her take away my other daughter anymore, Ling Anan silently said in his heart.

When Ni Tianchen saw that he was not moving, his dark eyes revealed dark emotions. After a long while, Ni Tianchen finally spoke to Ling Anan: "Mother, I want to tell you something, you bringing Xiaoxiao along to flee to a strange city is not a good idea after all. You will have to face it sooner or later."

Ni Tianchen's words had some meaning behind them, upon hearing that, Ling Anan frowned and turned to look at Ni Tianchen, his eyes filled with doubt. Do you know something? "

Ni Tianchen didn't plan to explain anything and walked past Ling Anan. At the end of the corridor, there was a place of darkness where no light was shining. Ni Tianchen's figure was hidden in the darkness until even the sound of his footsteps could be heard coming from afar.

Ling Anan's body was stiff as he stood at the door of the ward. After his breathing slowed down, he reached out and pushed open the door.

Ling Xiaosu cried for a while inside the blanket, his mood was slightly better, when he heard the sound of the door opening, he peeked his head out from under the blanket to see what was going on.

"Have they left?" Ling Xiaosu quietly looked at Ling Anan who was walking over, and could not help but to ask, his eyes looked outside, and only saw a door.

"Let's go." Ling Anan answered. Seeing Ling Xiaosu's pale face, he sighed inwardly and asked anxiously, "Xiaoxiao, do you hate me?"

Ling Xiaosu looked at Ling Anan in puzzlement and asked in reply, "Why should I hate you?" Weird, why did Ling Anan ask her if she hated him, she didn't hate him at all.

Ling Anan smiled bitterly, he reached out his hand whose heart was filled with calluses, stroked Ling Xiaosu's hair like how he used to be when he was young, and said in a low voice: "These past few days, I didn't have any reason to bring you around and run around. Now that you're having a fever and are lying here, I blame myself.

"If you had said you were going to leave here with your son-in-law, I might have agreed." Or maybe Ling Xiaosu stayed beside Ni Tianchen, so he could protect her even more safely. Thinking of this, Ling Anan actually had a little regret in his heart that he did not agree to let Ling Xiaosu leave.

Ling Anan forced out a smile towards Ling Xiaosu, and said: "Back then when I was carrying you to leave your father's side, he didn't know that I was carrying you in my stomach. All these years, ever since you were born, I had always been afraid that he would know of your existence, which was why I kept bringing you and escaped; I didn't want him to discover your existence."

"You are just my daughter, it has nothing to do with him. I worked so hard to pull you up by myself, I won't let him know about your existence, and I definitely won't let him take you away from me." Ling Anan said with determination in his eyes.

Ling Xiaosu quietly listened to what Ling Anan had to say, and in the end, looked at Ling Anan with reddened eyes once again.

It turned out that Ling Anan didn't want to bring her to continue escaping in such a manner, but rather, she didn't want her father to find her at all. It was because her birth father, the person she had yearned for the most since she was young, wasn't even aware of her existence.

Ling Anan's days were dark and they were filled with fear, but luckily she managed to escape in the end and was even pregnant with such a cute little baby like Ling Xiaosu. Even though her body was at a disadvantage at that time, she still kept Ling Xiaosu alive, all the way until she was born, and then suddenly grew so much.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Ling Xiaosu blinked, and said while choked with emotions: "He doesn't know of my existence, then why are you still hiding from him?" So many years had passed, why was Ling Anan still afraid when he mentioned that person's name?

"Because I can't let him know or he'll take you away." Ling Anan shook her head, her two hands were tightly clasped together. "He has already snatched away one of my daughters, I cannot let him take you away again, or else I will be left with nothing at all."

Ling Anan cried as he shook his head. He covered his face with his hands as his shoulders started to sob non-stop.

Hearing the crying, Ling Xiaosu really wanted to reach out and wipe the tears off Ling Anan's face, but she was still burning up and laid on the bed powerlessly. She wanted to reach out and wipe the tears away, but she had no strength to do so.

After a long while, when Ling Anan's sobs had died down a little, Ling Xiaosu licked his dry lips and said: "When my fever recovers a little, let's leave this place."

Ling Anan raised his head and looked at Ling Xiaosu in disbelief, "You … What did you say? "

Ling Xiaosu suddenly wanted to drink water, the tip of his tongue twirling around his mouth for a long time before he finally said the complete sentence, "I said that when my fever gets better, we will leave this place, aren't you afraid that he will find us? We're going to hide in a city he'll never find, so you won't have to worry about it. "

This way, she might have a chance to meet Ni Tianchen again.

Ling Anan looked at Ling Xiaosu in disbelief, and said blankly: "Are you speaking the truth? Are you willing to leave this place with me? "

"Yes." Ling Xiaosu nodded.
