C308 (1/2)

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?”
