Obsession?
Ye Ziyu's emotions surged, and the girl who rarely cried began to shed tears frequently.
"Don't cry!" Di Mingjue panicked, his hands busy catching her tears and trying to stop them from falling.
But once tears began to fall, they became even more uncontrollable.
At this moment, Ye Ziyu was like a doll that could shatter with a single touch. She stood there, silent, just crying incessantly.
Tissue after tissue became wet. Di Mingjue's heart ached, and he quickly apologized, "I'm sorry! I said the wrong thing. Si Bao is our child, how could I not want to find him as soon as possible? How could I not understand how you feel right now?"
His thumb caressed Ye Ziyu's cheek. Di Mingjue looked at her red eyes. "You don't need to blame yourself. It's not your fault regarding Si Bao's situation. If I had paid more attention to you back then, if I had found someone to take care of you during your pregnancy, none of this would have happened."
Di Mingjue took the blame upon himself, hoping to lessen Ye Ziyu's guilt.
But could the self-blame that had already arisen disappear with just a few words of comfort from him? Moreover, at that time, they were merely in a relationship for having a child, and their getting together was also for money.
Ye Ziyu buried her face in Di Mingjue's chest, silently soaking his shirt with tears.
"I'll take you back to the ward to rest. I'll have the nurse move Xing Xing to your room later," Di Mingjue conceded.
Even though he felt Xing Xing's displeasure towards him, he was willing to accept him for Ye Ziyu's sake.
On the way to change rooms, Xing Xing woke up. The first thing he saw was Di Mingjue accompanying him to Ye Ziyu's room.
"You're awake?" Di Mingjue looked down at him.
Xing Xing turned away, his mind trying to figure out what had happened while he was unconscious.
Did the sense of security he felt then come from him?
No, how could that be! He was an enemy, not a benefactor.
Xing Xing forcefully tugged at the bedsheet beneath him, wanting to expel the lingering good impression of Di Mingjue from his mind.
"You little brat, you turn your back on people as soon as they do something?" Di Mingjue complained helplessly.
After all, he was the one who carried him to the hospital. Even if there was no kindness, there shouldn't be such deep hatred. His adoptive father, Ye Shaoting, hadn't shown as much concern for him as they had.
Faced with the teasing, Xing Xing adopted an attitude of ignoring him.
Upon entering Ye Ziyu's ward, Xing Xing saw her, also in a hospital gown.
"Are you sick?"
His sudden question surprised Di Mingjue. Seeing the concern in his eyes, he felt it wasn't a wasted trip to the hospital.
Ye Ziyu gestured for the nurse to move their beds closer together.
"How are you feeling? Are you still uncomfortable?"
"And you? Did he bully you?"
Xing Xing's words instantly displeased Di Mingjue, who was pouring water nearby. He forcefully put down the water cup, looking at Xing Xing as if he were a love rival.
Xing Xing was not afraid of Di Mingjue. He continued speaking in front of him, "If he bullies you, you must say so. Dad will protect you."
Dad?
Di Mingjue walked to Xing Xing's bedside, blocking his gaze towards Ye Ziyu. "Am I the farmer and the snake?"
He had kindly brought him to the hospital, and then kindly placed them in the same room. And now, this brat was trying to sow discord between him and his wife.
Xing Xing snorted and turned over, ignoring him once again.
Seeing the two of them bickering back and forth, Ye Ziyu smiled and pulled Di Mingjue, "Alright, he's just a child. Why are you arguing with a child?"
"He looks like a child, but he's not cute like one at all!" Di Mingjue said with a snort.
Xing Xing didn't care at all whether he was cute like a child or not. He disliked Di Mingjue and didn't even want to hear his voice. He pulled the blanket over himself, burying his entire body under it.
