This is a spacious ward, very comfortably furnished, with a large floor-to-ceiling window, but at this time the light yellow curtains are completely closed, as if to prevent the light from outside from disturbing the people in the ward.
Xiaochen and Yunhen held her left hand and her right hand, exerting slight pressure on their palms, trying to pull her closer.
With a silent sigh escaping from his heart, Xi Haitang held his breath, quietly moved closer, and finally turned his eyes to the hospital bed, staring at the sleeping man.
He had just undergone surgery and was still awake. His eyes were closed tightly, and his brows were still wrinkled even when he was asleep, as if he was worried about something. His handsome face was much thinner, and the entire outline became deeper, and every bit of it was slightly...
Green stubble has appeared, and he looks decadent.
The quilt was half-covered, revealing a chest that had been securely bandaged, with faint traces of blood oozing from it...
She silently looked at the injured man, breathing and tightening...
She had never seen Gu Xijue like this before. This man who changed her life's destiny had invaded her life with force from the beginning, hurting her again and again, and now, he suddenly
She had lost all her strength and was dying, which made her feel a little unreal.
Qin Hao sighed lightly, "Professor Cole said he might wake up at night."
Xi Haitang nodded silently, unable to express how he felt.
Xiaochen and Yunhen were very happy after hearing Qin Hao's words. They had been sad for a long time and finally calmed down a little. The two children walked gently to the hospital bed, couldn't help but stretched out their little hands and gently touched his thin forehead.
His cheeks and fingertips moved upward gently and softly, trying to smooth out his eyebrows that were still frowning in his sleep.
Xi Haitang looked at the two children and felt distressed. Blood was really thicker than water. After a day of hard work, both children seemed to have lost a lot of weight.
"Xiaochen, Yunhen, can you and mommy go home and take a rest?"
Both children were startled, "Mommy, why don't we stay together and wait for Daddy to wake up?" The two pink little faces were full of the same doubts and the same expectations.
Xi Haitang was heartbroken by this question and didn't know how to answer the children's questions.
Qin Hao and Guan Xiaofei looked at each other, walked closer, and whispered to her, "Begonia, you have to face what you have to face."

Time passed by, and the ward was as quiet as ever.
After all, Xiaochen and Yunhen were too young. Although they were determined mentally, their bodies couldn't bear it any longer, and they both collapsed from exhaustion at around eight o'clock.
Xi Haitang carried the two children to the sofa and covered them with her coat as a quilt. Lowering her head, she kissed Xiaochen and then Yunhen. The warm feeling immediately surrounded herself, and she couldn't help it.
Eyes burning.
Gu Xijue fell into a deep sleep, but he did not sleep well. Nightmares filled his mind and his breathing became rapid. He dreamed that Haitang was alone and helpless in an open field, holding two children in her hands.
A baby kept running, running like crazy, with thousands of horses galloping behind him. She cried while running: "No, don't take away my child! Don't take away my child!"
By an accident, she suddenly stumbled and fell, the horse's hooves flew, the miserable wail spread across the wilderness, and the baby's cry shook the heart...
"No...Begonia...Begonia..." He woke up suddenly and found that the wilderness was gone, but realities more cruel than nightmares emerged in front of him like a tide. He was sweating profusely, and his eyes were filled with tragic uneasiness and rapidity.
There was lingering sadness in his breathing.
She was frightened by his shout and turned back slowly——
Gu Xijue was stunned, not knowing whether what he saw was reality or an illusion. Her delicate figure was right in front of him, but how could it be possible? How could she be there?!
He wanted to raise his hand to touch it, but he didn't dare. He was afraid that if he touched it, his dream would be shattered.
Reality or dream, which one is more distressing? It is not reality or dream, but waking up from the expectation of dream, falling hard into reality, and finding that she has already disappeared when I want to see her the most.
His eyes were looking at her constantly, unable to look away. His deep black eyes were filled with deep-seated grief, that kind of heavy grief that was boundless.
His eyes were still, and tears slid silently down his wounded cheeks...
The cold tears merged with the burning wound, and the pain hit him, giving him a hint of clarity - it was true!
He opened his eyes wide, and what he saw was the touching scene of her holding her two children. Finally, a touch of relief gently opened on her thin lips - so good, he finally gave her back the trace!
If memories are as hard as steel, should he smile or cry? If steel corrodes like memory, is this a happy city or a ruin?
I always thought that mountains are the story of water, clouds are the story of the wind, and she is his story, but I don’t know if he is her story?
Xi Haitang took a step back subconsciously, and the wariness in his eyes made Gu Xijue's heart twitch. He spoke in an unprecedentedly ugly and hoarse voice, "Haitang, do you know that when I open my eyes, I can see you and
With both children alive, even if I die, I will have no regrets."
"If it weren't for Xiaochen and Yunhen, I wouldn't be here!" Her hands hanging by her sides were clenched tightly into fists, and her nails stung her palms, reminding her of the humiliation she had suffered because of him.
.
He could not refute her words, but he was still very grateful to God for giving him the opportunity to see the scene before him.
The two children were woken up by their voices. They rubbed their eyes in confusion. They were extremely surprised when they saw Gu Xijue wake up.
"Daddy!" Yunhen rushed over at once, tears streaming down his face.
Xiaochen was stunned. He wanted to go through it, but he didn't dare. His confused little face was full of anxiety.
Gu Xijue stretched out his hand, "Xiaochen... come here..."
She did not move, timidly raised her head and looked at Xi Haitang, "Mommy, is it okay? Can I come over?"
