“Ah Yuan!” When Madam Xiao, who had not left, saw that her tall and handsome son had finally returned to the ward, she was so surprised that she stood up from the small round chair and quickly went up to him. “Ah Yuan, are your injuries serious? Let me take a look!”
Her show of concern was not false. She did care about her only son.
Unfortunately, it was a miss. Xia Jinyuan’s concern for him did not affect him at all.
He stepped away from her and stood to the side with a faint smile. “Thank you for your concern. The gauze has just been changed this morning, so I can’t show it to you.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHis attitude was neither cold nor warm. He treated her with the courtesy he would show an ordinary relative.
“I see… I’ll look at it later when you’re getting the gauze changed.” Madam Xiao, who looked a little embarrassed, withdrew her outstretched hand and followed her son back to the bed. She asked, “Did you have lunch? Are you hungry? I brought some fruit. There’s your favorite banana. I’ll get it for you.”
She wanted to mend the relationship between them as mother and son, but Xia Jinyuan rejected her. Hearing this, a sneer flashed across his eyes. He said calmly, “You’re welcome. My father and I don’t like bananas. It’s a waste for you to buy them.”
“But you used to…” She remembered that in the past, Ah Yuan clearly liked to eat bananas, but only Old Xia didn’t. When Madam Xiao, who was originally a little surprised, saw the indifference in Xia Jinyuan’s eyes, she couldn’t say the words ‘but you used to love bananas’ anymore.
‘Yes, that was a long time ago. Her son had grown up, and she had grown old. Some things had changed, after all.’
Madam Xiao gazed at her grown-up son and grimaced. “I really shouldn’t have come today. I was wondering if I should, and I ultimately did.”
Looking at her son, who was unmoved and had a cold expression, Madam Xiao knew that she should leave. She stood up and said to Commander Xia, “Old Xia, sorry to trouble you today.”
Commander Xia, who had long gotten over his ex-wife’s actions, nodded slightly and said to the indifferent Xia Jinyuan, “Your mother is just worried about you.”
“I know.” Xia Jinyuan smiled and turned to Madam Xiao, who was so sad that she had to look away. “Thank you for coming to see me today, but my personality is like this. Please understand.”
Madam Xiao, who could not stand her biological son being polite to her, nodded casually. She tightened her grip on her clutch bag, almost losing her composure. “Then I’ll leave first.” She staggered out of the ward.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCommander Xia sighed softly when he saw this. He turned around and sent his ex-wife out of the hospital first.
‘If you knew this would happen, then why did you do it?’
When she thought about making up for it, Little Six was already past the age where he needed motherly love.
After chasing her out of the ward, he saw that his ex-wife had not left. Instead, she was leaning against the cold wall and looking up high, trying her best to force back the tears in her eyes.
Commander Xia, who was approaching, stood in front of his ex-wife and said in a deep voice, “Little Six has grown up now. There are many things out of my control.”
“… I know. Thank you for today.” Madam Xiao, who had forced her tears back, pressed her hand against the corner of her eyes. When she stood up, her face regained its usual dignity. She said in a dry voice, “I didn’t expect him to be as polite to me as though he’s treating a guest. He’s not fierce, nor does he scold me. He’s very polite. Old Xia, you’ve taught Ah Yuan well. It’s been hard on you all these years.”
Commander-in-Chief Xia smiled. “I didn’t take much care of him. He grew up on his own.” There was a slight pause, and his face, which no one dared to look at directly, revealed a little seriousness. His voice also became much deeper. “You still haven’t answered what I asked before. What channels did you use to find out that Little Six was in the hospital?”
