When Xia Zhi flew back to City L, it was already dusk.
When she got home, she took off her shoes, threw away her luggage, and rushed upstairs.
The beach was as lively as ever.
If it wasn't brought by his grandmother, it was brought by a servant or Pei Yaochen himself.
It was like this every day, never coming out.
But today, he didn't come.
Was it Pei Yaochen who took him on a trip somewhere else?
Or sick?
If it was a trip, although she regretted not being able to see him every day, as long as he was safe, it didn't matter where he was.
But what if he was sick?
He must be in a lot of pain, right?
Could Pei Yaochen take good care of him at this time?
Thinking about the child's painful crying appearance, Xia Zhi's heart hurt so much that he couldn't breathe.
She kneeled down on the ground, clasped her hands in front of her chest, and prayed in a low voice, "God, God, gods, please keep my son healthy and happy. No matter what calamity there is, no matter what illness or pain, come to me! As long as he's fine, I don't care about anything! But I must ensure his safety, even if it means ten years of my life! Please! I beg you! "
Hot tears rolled down her face. She could not wipe them away, she could only pray and beg.
After a long while, she suddenly opened her eyes, raised her hand and fiercely slapped herself a few times, and bitterly said, "Xia Zhi! Why are you thinking so much? Maybe he just came out a little later? What are you thinking? Do you know that you are cursing your own child for being sick?! You are obviously a jinx! Pah pah pah! "Bad, useless, useless, useless, useless!"
When she was done, she stood up and looked out at the beach through her binoculars.
She just kept watching until the sky gradually darkened and the bustling beach became increasingly quiet. Only then did she weakly slide to the ground.
She sat on the ground and bit her fingernails hard. The string that had been tensing in her head was about to break at any moment, but it was still working fast.
Finally, she jumped up from the floor and dashed into the bathroom.
After a simple wash up, she changed into a set of black sportswear and quickly left the villa.
She jogged all the way, and after twenty minutes, she stood outside the back wall of Pei Yaochen's villa.
This place was no longer unfamiliar to her.
She spat into the palm of her hand, grabbed a protruding rock, and climbed up with nimble movements, like a monkey.
Soon, she leaped into the child's bedroom.
There was no sign of the child in the bedroom.
She opened the door and peeked her head out. The corridor was very quiet, and not a single person could be seen.
However, the faint sound of voices came from downstairs.
She slipped out of the bedroom, tiptoed to the foot of the stairs, and stopped.
The sound downstairs was much clearer.
The housekeeper's voice, which he had not heard for a long time, reached his ears, "You guys are more nimble. The doctor told the teenager that he must drink light porridge, and he should remember not to eat too much oil or too much salt. And the old lady's medicine, how long before it's ready? We have to hurry up, we can't let Mister wait too long. "
"There's still a quarter of an hour before everything is ready. Butler, don't worry. We've been doing this for so long, we won't do anything bad. " A gruff female voice.
"Yes. Butler, don't stand in the kitchen. Let's go and take a seat first. We'll go get you when we're better. "
"Sigh. How can I sit down? This young master is very sick this time, he has a high fever for two days and has been talking nonsense everyday. Young master has not been able to close his eyes for the past two days and he has been holding on.
"That's true. The madame too. She refused to stay home properly and insisted on following them to the hospital. It had only been a day or two, but she was already sick. It would be strange if the young master wasn't in a hurry to get angry. Sigh. If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have let the young master go to kindergarten at such a young age. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been ridiculed by other children for not having a mother. It was pitiful to think of the young master. If he had known earlier, he would have married early. That way, the young master wouldn't feel like he's a child without a mother. "
"Bi Xi! "You're breaking the rules again!" The butler said unhappily, "This is all Young Master's business, Young Master knows what to do, so don't worry about it. "Stop nagging, hurry up and go watch the fire, don't let the medicinal juice rush out."
"Yes, yes, yes." The maid answered hastily and hurried into the kitchen.
After Xia Zhi heard this, tears streamed down her face, but she could not care about anything else as she quickly turned and left.
After climbing over the wall, she took out her cell phone and dialed.
After the call, without waiting for the other party to speak, she immediately spoke: "Xiao Zheng. Help me find out where Pei Yaochen is right now! In twenty minutes I want to hear your exact answer. "
After saying that, she hung up the phone and ran back the way she had come.
Just as she reached home, she received a call from Xiao Zheng, telling her that he and his child were at a private hospital in City L.
When Xia Zhi heard it, she immediately drove away in the darkness.
Fifty minutes later, she was standing in front of the hospital.
Looking at the imposing iron gate, she pressed her horn anxiously.
The security guard came out and politely asked, "Miss, may I ask who you are looking for? "What is your name?"
Xia Zhi said vexedly: "I came to see this patient, why do you care about my surname? Open the door and let me in! "
"I'm sorry. Our hospital is a private hospital with its own rules and regulations. We can't let you in if you won't give us your name and if you say exactly what patient you're looking for. " The security guard said calmly.
Obviously, he had already seen this kind of situation many times.
Xia Zhi clenched her teeth and said coldly: "It's that troublesome? Then forget it! I didn't want to come anyway! "
She turned the car in the direction she had come from.
After a long drive, the hospital was no longer in sight. She turned the car into a small alley, pushed open the door and got out of the car.
Fortunately, she was wearing a sportswear and sneakers when she arrived, so she was able to run quite easily.
Soon she was back at the hospital, and seeing that a car was also being questioned, she hurried to the back of the car. She was delighted to see that the owner of the car hadn't closed the trunk, and took advantage of the conversation between the driver and the guard to quickly hide in the trunk.
After a while, she felt the car slowly start moving. Soon, she felt the car stop again.
Immediately after, someone pushed the door open and got off the car. She didn't move, but after hearing the sound of footsteps walking away, she opened the door and jumped out.
Closing the carriage, she quickly entered the Inpatient Department.
Very quickly, she smoothly stood at room 701.
Through the small window on the door, she saw the child with rosy cheeks, and also Pei Yaochen who was sitting on the bedside and stubbornly holding onto the child's hand.
The child's face was unnaturally red. It had obviously burned quite heavily.
Thinking about how his child had been ridiculed and humiliated, Xia Zhi's heart ached so much that it bled.
She really wanted to rush in and give Pei Yaochen a good beating, then hug the child tightly and tell him clearly that he had a mother, and that she was very much in love with him.
She didn't even care about her own life for him to live!
All these years, even if she wasn't by his side, even if she had never seen him before, he had always lived happily in her dreams … …
Tears fell down like rain, and her vision became blurry.
She raised her hand to wipe it clean and was about to take a good look at the child again when from afar, out of the corner of her eye, she saw the child's nanny supporting his grandmother as she walked towards her.
Startled, she turned quickly and walked quickly forward, turning into the stairwell.
It seemed that she had to wait here until the dead of night before she could have the chance to hug her child properly.
Xia Zhi powerlessly sat down on the stairs, and when she thought about the child's bright red face, she couldn't help but cry.
Time passed by slowly, every minute and every second felt like hell to her …
After an unknown amount of time, she raised her crying eyes to look at her watch. When she saw that the hour hand was at eleven o'clock, she immediately stood up.
The corridor was silent, lit only by a few dim lights.
Xia Zhi tiptoed to the door of the ward and looked inside. The lights were out, and she could vaguely see Pei Yaochen and the child lying side by side on the bed. Her right hand gently pulled the child into his embrace.
Xia Zhi took a deep breath, forced herself to calm down, gently pushed open the door, and slipped in, closing and locking the door.
Quietly as a cat, she came to the bedside, squatted down beside the bed, and gently took the child's hand to her lips and kissed it tenderly.
Tears welled up again, wetting the child's hands.
As if telepathically connected, the child's hand moved, and he immediately opened his eyes.
Xia Zhi was shocked, she hastily placed her index finger on her lips and hushed, then leaned over to whisper softly into his ear, "Dear baby, mother came to see you in her dreams. Are you all right? Mom really misses you! Do you miss your mother? "
In the darkness, the child's eyes suddenly opened wide, shining like two luminous pearls.
