Chapter 307 Unexpected Discovery
Chapter 307 Unexpected Discovery
Those indifferent attitudes... even now that I know the truth, the hurt is still deeply etched in my heart.
Like a scar that can never be erased.
I walked to the sofa, sat down, and rubbed my temples.
Just then, my phone rang again. It was a message from Song Yafei:
"Tian, I'm sorry, I know I shouldn't have forced you."
"But I'm really scared, scared that once Xiao Xiaotian gets better, you'll really leave."
"I know I've done a lot of wrong things and hurt you. But I really want to make it up to you."
"Please give me a chance, okay? Just for Xiao Xiaotian's sake..."
Looking at these words, my heart began to waver again.
When I first came back, I told myself that I had only come back to save Xiao Xiaotian.
I will leave once he recovers.
But now...
I looked up at my sleeping son, Xiaotian, and suddenly remembered what he had just asked me: "Daddy, do you not like Mommy anymore?"
It's amazing that such a young child can sense the distance between adults.
As I was thinking, my phone rang again.
This time it's Han Nian:
"I heard Xiao Xiaotian's surgery was very successful, congratulations!"
I replied, "Thank you."
Han Nian: "Brother Tian, I heard from Lin Qiuran that you and Song Yafei..."
Me: "He tells you everything?"
Han Nian: "Hehe, aren't we family? Of course he'd tell me."
"Honestly, Brother Tian, sometimes letting go of your obsessions might not be a bad thing."
Me: "You think so too?"
Han Nian: "I just think that everyone makes mistakes. The key is whether she has truly repented."
"Furthermore, you should also consider this carefully for Xiao Xiaotian's sake."
Looking at Han Nian's words, I fell into deep thought.
Indeed, after returning this time, I saw a completely different Song Yafei.
She gave all her love, especially to Xiaoxiaotian.
Sometimes I wonder, if we hadn't separated back then, if our child had been born safely, would we have become a loving couple?
But reality is often crueler than imagined.
Those injuries were real, and those pains were indeed experienced.
Even now that we know the truth, and that it was all a conspiracy by Director Chen, can those wounds really heal completely?
I walked to the window and looked at the night outside.
Nurses occasionally passed by in the hospital corridor, pushing medicine carts and making slight noises.
The streetlights in the distance flickered in the night, as if they were telling a story.
I suddenly remembered something my grandfather once said when I was a child: "Sometimes forgiving others is actually freeing yourself."
I didn't quite understand the meaning of that sentence at the time, but now I think I do.
As I pondered this, the sky began to lighten with the first hint of dawn.
Xiao Xiaotian woke up at six o'clock in the morning.
Seeing that I was still in the hospital room, he was a little surprised: "Dad, aren't you asleep?"
I smiled and patted his head. "He slept for a while."
Actually, I didn't sleep a wink all night, but I didn't want him to worry.
"Where's mom?"
He looked around.
"Mom has gone home to rest."
"I'll be there in a bit."
The door was pushed open as soon as the words were spoken.
It was Song Yafei, carrying breakfast in her hand.
Judging from her appearance, she didn't seem to have slept well either; her eyes were a little red and swollen.
"Little Tian is awake?"
She mustered her strength and went to the bedside.
"mom!"
Little Tian happily reached out his hand to her.
Song Yafei hugged him and kissed his forehead.
Seeing the affectionate way the mother and son were being treated, I suddenly felt a sense of warmth.
Such scenes should have been part of our daily lives.
“Ah Tian.”
Song Yafei called me softly, "I brought your favorite pan-fried buns."
I froze for a moment.
After all these years, she still remembers my taste.
"Thank you."
"I'll go wash up first."
As I walked out of the ward, I heard my little one ask, "Mommy, did you and Daddy have a fight?"
No, why do you ask?
"Because Dad looks very tired, and your eyes are red..."
I quickened my pace and walked away, not wanting to hear the conversation that followed.
I went to the bathroom and washed my face with cold water, trying to wake myself up.
Looking up at myself in the mirror, my eyes were bloodshot and stubble had appeared.
He definitely looked like he hadn't had enough rest.
Just as I was about to go out, I suddenly heard people talking outside.
"What did you say? Song Yafei's child was diagnosed with leukemia because she took those medications when she was pregnant?"
"Shh, keep your voice down. You can't talk about this."
"Oh my god, so that's how it is... So now she is..."
The sound gradually faded away, but the conversation sent chills down my spine.
What medicine?
What medications did Song Yafei take when she was pregnant?
I hurried after them, but the two people had already disappeared.
Back in the ward, I looked at Song Yafei feeding Xiaoxiaotian porridge and a sense of unease suddenly welled up inside me.
"what happened?"
She noticed my unusual behavior.
I shook my head. "It's nothing."
But that question kept lingering in my mind: what exactly happened?
While Song Yafei went to see the doctor, I called Assistant Luo.
"Assistant Luo, I'd like to ask you to investigate something for me."
"Please speak."
"So... when President Song was pregnant back then, did she take any special medication?"
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone.
"Well... I'm not quite sure. But..."
"But what?"
"However, I remember that Director Chen did often send President Song some supplements back then, saying they were good for the fetus."
My heart sank.
"Can you find out what those things are?"
"I'll give it a try. But it's taking too long, it might..."
"please."
"This is important."
After hanging up the phone, I felt even heavier.
If what those two people said is true, Xiao Xiaotian's illness was caused by the medication Song Yafei took during her pregnancy...
So who is pulling the strings behind all of this?
At this moment, Song Yafei returned.
Seeing my expression, she asked with some concern, "Tian, you look terrible. Are you feeling unwell?"
I looked at her and suddenly wanted to ask about what happened back then.
But the words stuck in his throat.
The most important thing right now is Xiaoxiaotian's recovery; other things can be discussed later.
"I am fine."
I forced a smile. "Maybe I just didn't get enough rest."
She stared at me for a while, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't.
In the afternoon, Assistant Luo sent a message saying that he had found some clues.
I made up an excuse to go out and see him.
In the hospital's coffee shop, Assistant Luo handed me a document.
"This is a nutritional supplement that Director Chen often gave to General Manager Song back then."
"On the surface, it appears to be a high-end imported supplement, but..."
"But what?"
"But I found out that this brand doesn't exist at all. And..."
