Ye Beibei was shocked after hearing Xiao Moting's words. She hurriedly walked to Xiao Moting's bed and hugged him into her arms. She was just about to say a few words to comfort him and ease his mood like before, but Xiao Moting went on to say:
"Mom, my dad is dead, right? He will never come to see me, will he?"
"Mo Ting!?" Ye Beibei looked at Xiao Mo Ting in front of him in surprise. The child had lost a whole lot of weight these days. Because of the increasing number of headaches, his body looked very weak, with a pair of big dark eyes on his pale face.
The eyes looked bigger and bigger.
Seeing the child's fragile and immature appearance, Ye Beibei felt uncomfortable. She knew that Xiao Moting was smart and sensitive. He had the genes of his father who was a policeman and his reasoning ability was very strong. She did not dare to deny his statement easily and cautiously
Asked: "Mo Ting, who told me that dad is gone?"
"No one told me, I discovered it myself." Xiao Moting lowered his head, looking very sad. Ye Beibei did not deny it in time, but in disguise, he admitted his guess.
Under normal circumstances, Ye Beibei should spare no effort to hide Xiao Li's affairs from Xiao Moting at this time, but Xiao Moting's situation is special. He has not had a mother since he was a child, he is very independent in many things, and he is extremely insightful.
, is keen and smart, if she continues to hide it from him when he has already guessed eight or nine points, it will definitely cause him more fear and doubt, and his trust in her will be greatly reduced in the future.
Ye Beibei hugged Xiao Moting and hesitated for a while before continuing to ask: "How did you find out?"
"After Dad was gone, you always hid in your room and cried secretly. The aunt in the kindergarten would also whisper behind my back. Dad's colleagues treated me better than before. Aunt Xiaoli hugged me and cried twice.
Also, dad has never called home, nor me. It’s been so long since we moved here, I’ve been sick, and he still hasn’t come back, so I know dad must be gone!”
Xiao Moting is a child after all, and his reasoning is not based on real evidence. Everything relies on intuition. However, Ye Beibei still did not refute him. Since it will happen sooner or later, it is better to talk about it. Xiao Moting's craniotomy this time
The danger was great, and the child might never wake up again. She couldn't let the child leave with doubts about his father's life and death.
After Ye Beibei thought about it carefully, she squatted down, looked at the child, and said softly: "Mo Ting, I will tell you the truth of the matter, but can you promise not to cry? Can you promise?
If you are not agitated, won't it affect the operation?"
Xiao Moting nodded solemnly to Ye Beibei like a young adult.
Ye Beibei held Xiao Moting's little hand and said in a slow and steady tone: "Mo Ting, your father did die in the execution of his mission. He was a real man. He died to protect others. He was a hero!"
Xiao Moting curled his lips, tears welling up quickly, but when he heard that his father was a hero, he bit his lips tightly and held back his tears.
Ye Beibei knew that it was cruel to say this to her children, but this was their life. She and Xiao Moting always had to go through this. "Mo Ting, although your father is gone, he has never left us. He has always been with us."
The sky is watching us and accompanying us, but we can’t see him for the time being. Mo Ting, your father is an excellent, strong, and brave man. You are his son, so you must also be strong and brave.
A real man!"
Xiao Moting still cried, maybe because he had a premonition in his heart. He didn't cry loudly, but big tears fell down his face. Ye Beibei was already feeling extremely uncomfortable, but now he saw Xiao Moting crying.
, the feeling of sadness became more and more real, she could no longer bear to stand up and hugged Xiao Moting tightly into her arms, tears rolling down her face.
After a while, Ye Beibei stopped crying and said in a choked voice: "Mo Ting, you must be well. Mom has lost dad, and we can't live without you anymore. You want to get well, and you have to grow up quickly. You are
As a little man in the family, your mother needs your protection and your younger brother needs your care, so Mo Ting, you must be good and be like your father when you grow up, being the protector of your mother and younger brother!"
Ye Beibei's words finally had an effect on Xiao Moting. He slowly stopped crying, wiped his eyes with his small hands, and said while choking, but his tone was extremely firm, "Mom, don't worry, I will get better."
Now, keep your body in good shape so that you and your little brother can be protected."
After wiping away the tears on her face, Ye Beibei raised her head and looked at Mo Ting, "Mo Ting, let's not tell anyone about dad's sacrifice, okay?"
"Uncle Li, can't you?" Xiao Moting looked at Ye Beibei with some doubts. He and Liming Lang have become very close these days. In his heart, Liming Lang, who often appears these days, is already a strong and warm existence.
He knew that Liming Lang loved him and pampered him, and he also knew that Liming Lang was like an omnipotent god who could meet his various requirements and was someone he could rely on.
No matter how mature and sensible Xiao Moting is, he is still a child after all. At this time, he is sure that his father is gone and he is facing such a terrible operation. He naturally feels crisis. He feels that Ye Beibei is not enough as a woman.
Children who are strong and whose minds are not yet fully mature unconsciously want to find a stronger support when they encounter huge fears.
"No, you can't tell anyone. The matter of your father's sacrifice is a secret between you and your mother. To others, you can only say that your father is on a mission. Mo Ting, when you grow up, don't you want to be one of those agents on TV?
, now mom will see if you can withstand coercion and inducement, and if you can keep a secret!" Ye Beibei couldn't expect a seven-year-old child to keep any secrets, and Li Minglang's cunning spirit made him feel a little bit.
If there was any sign of trouble, he would immediately use all possible methods to extract words from Xiao Moting. She could only use provocation with Xiao Moting.
Xiao Moting wiped his own tears and said stubbornly: "Don't worry, I will definitely keep the secret."
Liming Lang came over on time at noon and brought three exquisite and delicious takeaways as usual. Ye Beibei initially objected to the preferential treatment of having the CEO deliver takeaways from a five-star restaurant every day at noon and in the evening, but Liming Lang's temperament
It's too hard, but he insists on going his own way and persists. If you don't eat today, I'll come back tomorrow. If you don't eat it this time, I'll bring better ones next time.
