Chapter 168 - Han Yue Xius Anger (2/2)
She could imagine what her daughter might feel when she found her lying on the floor yesterday.
As she thought of the way to start this conversation with her daughter, Mother Han let out a small cough.
Mother Han took a sip as she peeked at her daughter. Although she could sense her daughter's anger, Mother Han knew that Han Yue Xiu was jworried.
In the end, it was her fault for keeping her health a secret. At least, Mother Han was aware of why she deserved her daughter's anger.
Sensing that Han Yue Xiu was about to return to her seat, Mother Han quickly grabbed her hand to prevent her from leaving.
”Yue Xiu, listen to me, alright?”
Han Yue Xiu turned to her mother with a sharp glance. She bit hard at her teeth to refrain herself from saying anything.
”I… I didn't mean to lie to you,” Mother Han spoke. ”I just did not want you to worry.”
Hearing her mother's reason, Han Yue Xiu felt a surge of anger. ”Mom, if I did not find you on the floor yesterday, will you insist on keeping this a secret?”
”Yue Xiu,” Mother Han's tone was slightly pleading.
Feeling the sting on her nose, she then began to look away from her mother again. Anyway, judging from her mother's tone, Han Yue Xiu knew that her mother was silently admitting to it.
”How could you keep something like this from me?” Han Yue Xiu said in anger. She tried her best to tone down her anger as she did not want her mother's condition to worsen. ”Dad said that you're planning to have the surgeries after I leave. If I did not come over to S Country to stay with you guys, are you planning on not telling me as well? Then, what should I do if something happens to you? What if I missed out on the last chance to see you?”
Seeing the tears that started to pool at her daughter's eyes made Mother Han teary as well. She had not given too much thought before she decided to keep it a secret from her daughter. And now, Mother Han could only deal with the consequences.
”This is why you were so eager to kick me out of your house, isn't it?” Han Yue Xiu continued. ”No wonder you were so relieved when I told you that I'll be going back after the festival. Mom, in the end, am I still your daughter?”
”Yue Xiu,” Mother Han gripped on her daughter's arm a bit tighter. Of course, she was saddened upon hearing her daughter's words, but at this moment, she could not find any words or excuse to defend herself from keeping the matter a secret from her only daughter. In the end, she could only call out her daughter's name. ”Yue Xiu, I'm sorry. Mom shouldn't keep this a secret from you, alright?”
Han Yue Xiu wiped the tears that started to stream down her cheek furiously.
”I did not think things through when I made the decision,” Mother Han said. ”Yue Xiu, I was wrong. Will you forgive me?”
Han Yue Xiu stayed silent for a while and was unable to answer. She was still angry and it would not be easy for her to forgive her mother.
The silence between them lasted for a long time until someone came to knock on the door. Seeing that a nurse had come in to check on her mother, Han Yue Xiu wiped at her tears, grabbed her purse, and dashed out from the room to calm down.
