NovelEnglishChapter 348 Confronting the Past (2)
When she said this, her face didn’t look happy at all, instead she looked faintly sad. Although she was a good actress, and covered up all her emotions very well, Father Shen could still see through her. He stretched out his hand towards her, wanting to hold her hand, but he thought of the fact that he didn’t seem to have the right to do so now, so he retracted his hand, and said with a deep sigh, “I haven’t seen you for so many years. I heard that you’re doing quite well these days, but Xiuqi called you to come here and intruded in your life. He shouldn’t have done so.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSun Qin immediately refuted him, “Since you’re so afraid of disturbing my life, you should have said so earlier. Everything would have been fine if you hid somewhere and died by yourself. Why did you come back? Bringing unnecessary trouble to Xiuqi, making Xiuqi feel sad, he cried when he was on the phone with me, saying that he was scared that If you died, you wouldn’t be able to see me, so how can I not be here? Wouldn’t Xiuqi blame me for this if I didn’t come?”
Shen Xiuqi, as per Sun Qin’s words, who was crying on the phone, tugged at the corner of his lips. He gave Sun Qin a call as Father Shen seemed rather pitiful, and merely told her about Father Shen’s illness. When did he ever cry over the phone, his mother really knew how to condemn him.
But then again, he was really in a heavy mood at the time. His mother probably could tell from his voice, and treated him like a child that no one showered with love, like a kid who couldn’t get any candy or hugs, and was complaining to her about it, so she hurried over.
Father Shen smiled and said to Sun Qin: “It was just a random thought, when one falls sick, they tend to become more sentimental, I never meant for it to be this complicated, Xiuqi was overthinking it.”
Sun Qin sneered and stood up as she said, “If that’s the case, then I’m leaving. I made the wrong choice to even come here, there must be something wrong with me for actually rushing over here to visit you, worried that you might die before I could be here.”
After that, she turned around and was about to leave. When Father Shen saw that she was going to leave, he tugged on her sleeves and looked at her as he said sweetly: “Since you’re already here, then don’t leave. Sit down and have a quick chat with me, as if we’re friends. I haven’t seen you for so many years, your temper is still the same as before, nothing about you has changed.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSun Qin turned to look at him, the corners of her lips curled up in a cynical arc, “My temper was always like this, in the past, and even now, it’s still the same. I don’t want to change, you know this perfectly well, if you can get used to it then do, if you can’t get used to it …… forget it.”
When she got to the end of her sentence, Sun Qin realised that since Father Shen was a patient now, and that he might not live for long, what was the point of going against him?
So she changed her mind, turned around and sat back on the stool, she looked at him and said, “Do you feel any better? What did the doctor say? If the doctors in this country aren’t skilled enough, we can always hire doctors from overseas. You would have to somehow find a way to cure your illness right.”
Father Shen smiled, and pretended to sound relaxed: “Cancer isn’t that easy to recover from, there were so many people who couldn’t fight against it, I can’t help it.”
Sun Qin disagreed, “What do you mean by there’s no way to deal with it? When there’s a will, there’s a way. Don’t be discouraged.”
Seeing as their attitudes eased, Shen Xiuqi felt that he shouldn’t be in the ward, so he found an excuse to head out so that Father Shen and Sun Qin could talk.
In the ward, Father Shen looked at Sun Qin emotionally and said, “We haven’t seen each other for about ten years, right?”
