Chapter 958: I’m Not Insistent On Doing the Wrong Thing, I’m Just Waiting (3)
Cheng Weiwan instinctively lowered her head in shock and looked down to find that it was her own bag. Then she raised her head and took a glance at Han Zhifan’s clothes. He walked into the room in a flash as the door slammed shut.
Cheng Weiwan stood on the spot stunned for a while. Then she put her phone into her bag, turned around and rushed over to the stairs.
It was raining heavily and puddles were forming on the ground.
Cheng Weiwan hadn’t brought an umbrella, so she carried her bag and stared outside the glass doors of the hospital. That was when she realized the rain wasn’t showing any signs of letting up.
It was getting late. The next day, she had to come early to visit Hanhan at the hospital again… Last night, she really hadn’t gotten any rest. Today was insufferable on such little sleep, and if she stayed any later at the hospital, she was afraid she wouldn’t be able to get any rest before having to get up again the next day… If she went on like that, she definitely couldn’t hold up. It was difficult for her to see Hanhan, so she couldn’t make any mistakes now…
With that thought, Cheng Weiwan gritted her teeth then pushed the glass doors open and charged into the rain.
–
Upstairs.
After Cheng Weiwan was kicked out, Han Zhifan sat back on the sofa and continued working on his laptop.
His thoughts were clear when he typed up an email earlier, but now, he stared at the laptop screen for a long time. He forgot what he actually wrote in that email.
He wanted to read the email from start to end and find his train of thought again, but he stared at the wall of text and struggled to read it for a long time. He was so dazed that he couldn’t read a single sentence. He furiously shut his laptop and pulled out a cigarette from his pocket.
Just as he put it to his lips, he remembered that he was in a hospital. He lowered his cigarette then shut his eyes as he tightly creased his brows while laying back on the sofa.
Cheng Han was asleep. The housekeeper and the wet nurse didn’t say a word.
The patient room was very quiet. Aside from the sound of pitter-pattering raindrops against the window, no other sounds could be heard.
He sat on the sofa without a thought in mind before his eyes shot open as though he was struck by something. He looked out the window.
The rain was a lot heavier than before. Every now and then, the muffled sound of thunder could be heard and at times, the eye-piercing flash of thunder opened up the night sky.
I’m afraid there won’t be any taxis available close to the hospital in such terrible weather…
When he chucked Cheng Weiwan’s bag at her, he noticed it was empty. There must’ve been no umbrella inside…
Han Zhifan stared out the window for a long time before he couldn’t help but get up and walk over to the windowsill.
Just as he looked down, he saw the silhouette of her back as she held her bag in the heavy rain.
The rain was really heavy. She had just stepped into the rain and all her clothes were drenched… Did she plan to brave the rain and head back home?
Han Zhifan stared at Cheng Weiwan gradually walking further away and the corners of his lips inadvertently pursed.
The silhouette of her back quickly disappeared from his line of sight.
He furrowed his brows slightly. In the next second, he scooped up his car keys from the bedside table and strode out of the patient room, ignoring the housekeeper and the wet nurse’s confused looks.
After Han Zhifan drove away from the hospital, he started to follow the road, looking for Cheng Weiwan.
The rain was falling heavily, so his field of view wasn’t that good. He was afraid he would miss her, so he didn’t dare to drive too quickly. He drove slowly for a while until he finally saw her, completely drenched, standing at the taxi area.
He instinctively wanted to step on the gas. However, before he could speed up, a white sedan overtook his car and hit the emergency brakes in front of her.
Soon enough, a man climbed out of the car carrying an umbrella. He quickly ran up to Cheng Weiwan.
Chapter 959: I’m Not Insistent On Doing the Wrong Thing, I’m Just Waiting (4)
Han Zhifan abruptly stomped on the brake pedal, causing him to brake suddenly.
The car suddenly stopped and his body lunged forward. He steadied himself, raised his head and stared transfixed at the two of them not too far ahead.
Han Zhifan didn’t need to try too hard to recognize that man. It was the man who took Cheng Weiwan home a few days ago, and the man she called “Yinan Ge” who called her earlier.
Before the man reached Cheng Weiwan, he already had the umbrella ready to cover her body.
The sound of the rain was loud, so through his tightly shut car windows, Han Zhifan couldn’t hear their conversation. However, from the way the man looked, he could tell he was impatient.
Cheng Weiwan’s pale face looked a little weak. She didn’t reply to the man, but she gave the impatient man a weak smile.
Her smile instantly calmed him down. He took her hand in the next second and dragged her to the car. He opened the car door and allowed her to sit inside.
After the man shut the car door, he wasn’t in a hurry to get going, so he walked around the back of the car. Then he grabbed a few towels from the trunk and walked back to the door Cheng Weiwan went through. He pulled the car door open and shoved the towels in.
The man stood by the car door, bent over, and reached one hand into the car. He was probably helping Cheng Weiwan wipe the water from her body as his arm moved rigorously.
After a while, he stopped, carrying several soaked towels in his hands. He walked back to the trunk once again. He chucked the towels in then pulled open the driver’s side door. Closing his umbrella, he then entered the car.
The car quickly started up and slowly drove off.
The rain was still falling heavily. The car drove a short distance away before it completely blended in with the rain.
Han Zhifan stared at the taillights flashing red every now and then as the car drove off. Then he unconsciously stepped on the gas and turned the steering wheel to catch up to them.
The two cars drove one behind the other for quite some distance. Han Zhifan realized that they were driving in the direction of Cheng Weiwan’s home.
However, when the car in front was about to reach Cheng Weiwan’s neighborhood, it came to a stop.
Han Zhifan hit the brakes too.
Soon enough, the car door opened and Cheng Weiwan and the man got out of the car. The man held up the umbrella and took Cheng Weiwan into the supermarket by the road.
When the two figures disappeared into the supermarket, Han Zhifan turned his car off. He got out and walked into the supermarket too.
Although it was about to close, there were still quite a few people in the supermarket. Han Zhifan walked around the supermarket for a while before he saw Cheng Weiwan and the man.
The man was pushing the cart over to the fruit and vegetable area and was carefully picking apples.
Cheng Weiwan stood motionlessly to one side and softly shook her head or nodded when the man occasionally turned to ask her questions.
The two of them didn’t talk for long, but the image seemed particularly harmonious. Han Zhifan felt increasingly uncomfortable the more he watched them.
Cheng Weiwan and the man didn’t shop for too long. After picking up some vegetables and fruit, they picked up a case of yogurt from the dairy section and went to the counter to pay.
Han Zhifan didn’t get anything, but he wasn’t in a hurry to leave. Instead, he waited for them to pay before he walked out through the exit.
After Cheng Weiwan and the man finished paying, they walked out of the supermarket.
Han Zhifan followed them.
When they were about to reach the supermarket doors, the man spoke with a voice that sounded so courteous like he was a promising young man who received a higher education. “Wanwan?”
Chapter 960: I’m Not Insistent On Doing the Wrong Thing, I’m Just Waiting (5)
Wanwan?
That man actually calls her name in such an intimate way?
Without realizing it, Han Zhifan tightly furrowed his brows.
Cheng Weiwan didn’t seem to mind how the man called her in the slightest. She shot the man a glance and gently cried out, “Hm? What’s wrong, Yinan Ge?”
The man wasn’t in a hurry to reply as he glanced at the area around Cheng Weiwan’s neck.
Han Zhifan followed the man’s gaze and noticed him glancing at the area around Cheng Weiwan’s neck several times. There were various dark marks he left on her yesterday…
But Cheng Weiwan didn’t understand the man’s meaning. Seeing as he didn’t explain anything, she proceeded to ask, “Yinan Ge, why are you holding back? If you have something to say, just say it…”
The man probably hadn’t considered how to express himself because he muttered to himself for a while but wasn’t able to finish a sentence.
Cheng Weiwan was a little impatient. “Yinan Ge…”
The man then raised his hand and pointed at Cheng Weiwan’s neck. “This…”
He said just one word, but Cheng Weiwan understood what he meant and instinctively pulled up her collar.
She left the house today wearing a dress that had a particularly high collar. However, because she was just in the rain, her collar fell. She never imagined Yinan Ge would find out…
A wave of awkwardness came over Cheng Weiwan’s face.
The two of them didn’t say anything and the atmosphere became a little strange.
After a while, the man said, “It was him, wasn’t it?”
He asked a question with just a few simple words and he did it so suddenly that Han Zhifan didn’t even register what he said. Cheng Weiwan softly let out an “Mhm.”
“Last night?” asked the man again.
Cheng Weiwan let out another “Uh huh.”
Han Zhifan then realized the man was asking if he caused those marks on her neck.
The two of them fell silent.
But this time, the man quickly followed with: “Wanwan, did last night have anything to do with being able to see Hanhan today?”
Cheng Weiwan was quiet for a while then confessed. “Yes.”
The man must’ve really known Cheng Weiwan well and that she never would’ve proposed such a trade. “He made such a shameless suggestion, didn’t he?”
Cheng Weiwan said “yes” once again.
There was a hidden anger in the man’s tone of voice all of a sudden. “He threatened you with Hanhan and forced you to make such a shameless exchange with him, didn’t he?”
This time, Cheng Weiwan didn’t say anything. The man continued to angrily say, “I really never imagined he could be so despicable!”
“He was the one who didn’t want you. Now, he’s the one who’s turning around to torment you!”
“Wanwan, I know it’s unrealistic for you to not care about Hanhan, but you’re destined to lose. Even if you hate parting with him, Hanhan can’t come back to you. What’s more, the guy’s so rich; he won’t treat Hanhan poorly. Why are you making yourself suffer like this?
“Alright, Yinan Ge. Don’t be mad…”
“How can I not be mad? He humiliates you time and time again, so how can I not be mad?”
“Yinan Ge, I know you wish me well, but I don’t think I’m suffering if I can see Hanhan this way…” Cheng Weiwan comforted the man then said, “What’s more, don’t think he’s humiliating me. I have to spend money for a gigolo. This way, he’s knocking on my door, I don’t have to spend money, he doesn’t look half-bad, and I get to see Hanhan. It’s not a bad thing…”
Chapter 961: I’m Not Insistent On Doing the Wrong Thing, I’m Just Waiting (6)
She actually compared me to a gigolo and said I knocked on her door without having to pay money… Which means I’m lower than a gigolo?
Han Zhifan squinted then suddenly stopped walking.
The man who was just mad at Cheng Weiwan for making excuses burst out laughing in amusement. “Wanwan, you’re too much! I’ve seen people comforting themselves, but this is the first time I’ve seen someone comfort themselves the way you did.”
“I’m not comforting myself – that’s how I really feel. This time, I didn’t think too much of our exchange and took him for a gigolo meant for passing the time, that’s all…” Cheng Weiwan smirked as she said this. “…But with that said, Yinan Ge, even though I didn’t ask for a gigolo, I think his technique was a lot worse than a gigolo’s…”
As if it wasn’t enough for her to call me a gigolo, she said my technique was worse than a gigolo’s?
Darkness instantly covered Han Zhifan’s face as his entire body emitted a terrifying aura.
The two people in front hadn’t sensed him behind them at all. After the man heard what Cheng Weiwan said, he let out a quiet chuckle. “If he finds out that’s what you think of him, he’d die from anger!”
“There’s nothing to fear…” Cheng Weiwan replied with just four words without care.
There’s nothing to fear?
His anger on the verge of exploding instantly blew up.
Han Zhifan abruptly charged at Cheng Weiwan.
But before he could reach Cheng Weiwan’s back, Cheng Weiwan, who was about to walk out of the supermarket doors, spoke.
She was a little quiet like she was sad about something. “…When I stood outside his building and watched him bringing a woman home two years ago, that was when his joy, anger, sadness, success, failures, happiness and misery had nothing to do with me anymore.”
As the words “nothing to do with me anymore” drilled into Han Zhifan’s ears, it felt like his pressure points had been hit. He stopped on the spot all of a sudden.
She kept watch outside his apartment building every night in the past. He used to dream of them having no relation at all.
Now that he finally heard it from her mouth, he should be overjoyed! But deep down, he didn’t feel a single bit happy. Actually, he felt a little… panicked.
Panic?
As that one word entered Han Zhifan’s mind, he forcefully shook his head and hurled the thought away like he heard the funniest joke in the world.
What kind of freaking joke is this… Me panicking about her?
Hilarious…
Han Zhifan shook his head again and came back to his senses.
Cheng Weiwan and that man had already left the supermarket. The car parked by the road was nowhere in sight.
It was still raining. After Han Zhifan emerged from the supermarket, he wasn’t in a hurry to get into his car. Instead, he held his umbrella and stood on the sidewalk in a daze.
It was very windy and the rain blew beneath the umbrella. The bottom half of his body was quickly soaked.
He stood there as though he couldn’t feel it.
He didn’t know just how long he stood there, but her words were suddenly on his mind. “…When I stood outside his building and watched him bringing a woman home two years ago, that was when his joy, anger, sadness, success, failures, happiness and misery had nothing to do with me anymore.”
That sentence was like a spell. He didn’t want to think about it, but it was echoing in his mind.
It repeated over and over again… until in the end, his hand suddenly trembled, causing the umbrella to slide between his fingers and fall to the ground.
Chapter 962: I’m Not Insistent On Doing the Wrong Thing, I’m Just Waiting (7)
The pouring rain washed over his head.
Soon enough, his hair was soaked.
He stood, completely unaware, that he was as still as a statue.
A gust of wind blew in and blew the umbrella by his feet far away. He still didn’t show any signs of coming back to his senses.
–
Back at home, Lin Yinan put the shopping bags in his hands onto the living room coffee table. Then he walked into Cheng Weiwan’s bathroom.
He adjusted the temperature of the water, ran a bath for Cheng Weiwan then immediately called her to come in.
He attentively put the towel and bathrobe by the bathtub then walked out of the bathroom. He picked up the shopping bag from the supermarket and entered the kitchen.
Cheng Weiwan took a comfortable, hot bath then blow dried her hair. By the time she changed into her loungewear, Lin Yinan had already placed two dishes and soup on the dining table.
Lin Yinan turned and glanced at Cheng Weiwan when he heard movements. “Wanwan, come over quickly and eat.”
Cheng Weiwan let out an “Mhm.”
When she walked over to the dining table, Lin Yinana immediately helped her pull out the chair.
A second after she sat down, Lin Yinan handed her the soup and chopsticks. “Give it a try. I recently learned how to make this.”
Cheng Weiwan hadn’t eaten since lunch, so she was really hungry. She grabbed the chopsticks, picked up some food and said, “Yinan Ge, you shouldn’t be a psychiatrist. You should be a chef!”
Lin Yinan stared at Cheng Weiwan, who wouldn’t stop eating. She didn’t reply, so he affectionately reminded her, “Eat slowly. It’s all yours. No one is fighting you for food.”
“Well it’s on you for cooking so well!” complained Cheng Weiwan. Then she downed the bowl full of soup and naturally handed it to Lin Yinan.
Lin Yinan took Cheng Weiwan’s empty bowl and helped scoop another serving for her. After he put the bowl into her hands, he watched her eat in satisfaction for a while then said, “Wanwan, do you know why I learned to cook?”
“Why?” Cheng Weiwan looked up at Lin Yinan then tilted her head. She thought about the most likely reason. “Because you don’t like to eat takeout?”
Lin Yinan smiled but didn’t say anything.
The look on his face made Cheng Weiwan think she guessed correctly. “I knew it! Yinan Ge, I’ve known you for so many years. I know you best!” She exclaimed cheerfully.
Know me best?
If you really know me best, how come you didn’t know that I don’t like the smell of cooking and I don’t like to wash vegetables?
I learned to cook simply because you said you didn’t want to cook and you wanted to find a husband who could cook.
If you really knew me best, how could you not tell that deep down inside, I never saw you as my teacher’s daughter or treated you like my junior?
In my heart, I’ve always seen you as Wanwan, the little princess…
“Yinan Ge, what are you thinking?” Cheng Weiwan hadn’t gotten any reply from Lin Yinan. She stopped eating and looked up at him with a confused look on her face.
Lin Yinan hurriedly hid the pain in his heart and smiled warmly at Cheng Weiwan. “Thinking about it, time flew by! In the blink of an eye, you’ve got Hanhan. I remember the first time I saw you. You were still in junior high and you were crying because you couldn’t solve a math question!”
At the mention of her embarrassing past, Cheng Weiwan glared angrily at Lin Yinan then lowered her head and continued eating.
After Cheng Weiwan was full, Lin Yinan tidied up the dining table and cleaned up all the dishes. Then he cut some fruit he carefully picked out into little pieces. After he mixed them into the yogurt, he pushed it towards Cheng Weiwan.
Chapter 963: I’m Not Insistent On Doing the Wrong Thing, I’m Just Waiting (8)
Exhausted, Cheng Weiwan grabbed a fork and ate the fruit as she lamented, “Yinan Ge, whoever marries you has the cultivated luck of eight lifetimes!”
“Do you want this cultivated luck of eight lifetimes?”
Lin Yinan spoke so quietly that Cheng Weiwan didn’t hear him clearly. “What?”
“Nothing,” replied Lin Yinan when he noticed what he just blurted out. Then he watched Cheng Weiwan eating fruit for a while before he asked, “Wanwan, you can lie to yourself and you can lie to other people, but you can’t lie to me. I know you definitely agreed to that exchange of his. The real reason wasn’t what you told me at the entrance of the supermarket.”
“I’m sure Hanhan was one reason you did it, but deep down, the other reason was because of him. Am I right?”
Cheng Weiwan suddenly stopped eating the fruit and looked at it but she didn’t utter a word.
“You gave birth to Hanhan. It’s not that you can’t bear to be without the kid, but it’s because you can’t bear to be without the guy. If you were really over him, why did you leave the kid with him? You could’ve easily run away with the kid, but you stayed in Beijing and never left because he’s still in this city. You could’ve easily not told Hanhan the guy was his father, but you showed Hanhan his photo and told him that was his daddy… Deep down, you never wanted Hanhan to acknowledge any other man as his dad… Tell me, if that isn’t love, what is?”
Cheng Weiwan still didn’t say a word, but she slowly tightened her grip on her fork.
“Wanwan, I know it hurts to bring it up. You’ve never been willing to face the truth, but you know running away won’t solve things. I’m afraid you’re compromising and staying by his side because you still love him. In my heart, you’re the kindest woman in the world. You’re talented and you can write touching stories. You deserve better and you don’t deserve to waste away like this. I really want to know if you agreed to his unreasonable exchange because you’re persistently taking the wrong path just so you can be with him?”
“Wanwan, I mean nothing by it. I’m just afraid if you persistently take the wrong path till the very end, you’ll be the one getting hurt.”
“I really don’t want to see you miserable again, like how you were after you gave birth to Hanhan…”
“Yinan Ge…” interrupted Cheng Weiwan quietly after remaining silent for a long time. “…Have you heard of the saying…”
“You only need two things to forget someone; time and a new love.”
“Some people can choose to use a new love to forget, but I chose to use time.”
“Yinan Ge, I know I shouldn’t love him, but did you know? He’s the only person I dare to love in this world.”
“I truly love him, so that’s why it’s really hard to stop. However, this doesn’t mean I’m irrational and will continue to make mistakes and stoop so low!”
“I admit I was really making fun of him when I said those things at the supermarket, but he’s done the same. I told myself that Hanhan is the only thing that’s important to my life. For Hanhan, I’m willing to do anything. As for Han Zhifan…”
“…I’m not persistently waiting for him to love me. I’m just waiting for myself…”
As he heard this, Lin Yinan furrowed his brows.
Waiting for herself to do what?
Before he could speak, she quietly spoke again. “…waiting for that part of myself who loves him to stop loving him.”
Chapter 964: I’m Not Insistent On Doing the Wrong Thing, I’m Just Waiting (9)
After she and Han Zhifan stopped contacting each other two years ago, Cheng Weiwan practically stopped sharing her thoughts with other people. Now that she was laying out her utmost honest thoughts for Lin Yinan to hear, she incidentally reopened her own wounds. After she finished speaking, she instantly fell silent.
Cheng Weiwan looked really calm and she didn’t show much emotion.
But Lin Yinan looked at her like this as though he had been struck in the heart with a knife. The pain pulsated.
He wanted her to be happy. The past two years, he had been thinking about how to make her truly happy, but he was never able to figure out how to do it. Now, he knew she was upset and he wanted to cheer her up, but there was no way he could. This meant that she never gave him the right to be able to cheer her up.
The room was quiet for a long time before Cheng Weiwan showed any reaction at all. She carried the plate of fruit and put it down onto the coffee table. She noticed the rain outside had slowed down and she said to Lin Yinan, “Yinan Ge, it’s getting late and you have to work tomorrow. You better head back early and get some rest.”
Lin Yinan nodded and replied, “You too. Get some rest soon.” Then he continued to sit on the sofa with his phone in hand for a moment before getting up.
Cheng Weiwan saw Lin Yinan out.
They walked to the front door, where Cheng Weiwan stood aside and waited for Lin Yinan to bend over and put his shoes on. Then she reached out to help him push the door open. “Goodbye, Yinan Ge.”
Lin Yinan replied warmly, “Goodbye.” However, he wasn’t in a hurry to leave as he turned his head and looked over at Cheng Weiwan.
Cheng Weiwan saw that he didn’t say anything and said in confusion, “What’s wrong Yinan Ge?”
“Wanwan…” Lin Yinan’s Adam apple bobbed up and down several times before he continued. “…If one day, you’ve really finished waiting for yourself to stop loving him, you must remember to tell me.”
Cheng Weiwan didn’t quite understand. The conversation finished so long ago that she couldn’t help but furrow her brows when Lin Yinan suddenly hurled those words out like that.
Although she didn’t ask why, Lin Yinan nonchalantly gave her an answer. “When that day comes, I’ll help you hold a farewell party to bid goodbye to that part of you who loved him!”
Cheng Weiwan heard what Lin Yinan said and couldn’t help but smile with her eyes. “Alright. When that day really comes, I’ll definitely tell you.”
Lin Yinan chuckled and casually said “I’m off!” as he turned around to leave.
Lin Yinan stepped into the elevator, not forgetting to smile warmly at Cheng Weiwan, who was standing at the door. He waved at her as if to tell her to hurry up and go inside to get some rest.
When the elevator doors shut and he was the only one around, the smile on Lin Yinan’s face froze little by little.
The hell was he really going to hold her a freaking farewell party. He just had to say something to wrap things up in a sticky situation.
He told her she had to tell him when she stopped loving the guy only so that one day, he could go after her honorably and openly.
He’d known her for a really long time, but back then, she was really young. He wanted to wait for her to get a little older.
But he never imagined that after he graduated from studying abroad for four years and came back in excitement, she was already pregnant; she had already been hurt by love and a man had left her with cuts and bruises…
Like the day before, Cheng Weiwan went to the hospital early the next morning.
In contrast to yesterday, Hanhan’s condition was a lot better today. His fever was gone.
Chapter 965: I’m Not Insistent On Doing the Wrong Thing, I’m Just Waiting (10)
Han Zhifan was probably busy with something, so he didn’t turn up at the patient room. Without him, Cheng Weiwan felt a lot more relaxed and was a lot happier while spending time with Hanhan. Moods could be contagious. Hanhan saw that his mother was happy, so he became energetic as the mother and son played happily together.
Since the young master entered the villa doors, the wet nurse and housekeeper had mostly seen him cry. Today, upon seeing that he didn’t stop smiling all day, they couldn’t help but feel happy too.
When Cheng Weiwan and Hanhan played together, the two of them chimed in with a few words every now and then. The atmosphere in the entire room was a lot more cheerful and harmonious than yesterday.
Time always flew when you were having fun. Without knowing it, evening had fallen. Cheng Weiwan and Cheng Han had to part ways in a few more hours.
If Hanhan’s condition was really bad, Cheng Weiwan would definitely consider seeking out Han Zhifan and pleading with him.
However, Hanhan seemed to be just fine. In the afternoon, the doctor said that if he was okay after tonight, he could be discharged tomorrow.
The child was well, so she had nothing to worry about and there was no need to look for Han Zhifan.
But… Cheng Weiwan couldn’t help but feel a little sad at the thought of not knowing when she would be able to see next Hanhan after he fell asleep.
Of course, Cheng Weiwan wouldn’t let Cheng Han see her upset, so just like yesterday, she personally fed him food and medicine then told him a story.
Cheng Han was very smart. Even though he was little, he could read simple words.
He pointed to the word “Wei” and said “Mummy’s name.” That was when Cheng Weiwan felt the bottom of her heart randomly warming up. She couldn’t help but stroke Cheng Han’s little head.
At eight in the evening, the wet nurse walked over with a bottle of warm milk. “Young master, it’s time for milk.”
“I want mummy to feed me,” Cheng Han declined the wet nurse who walked over with the milk bottle. He turned his head and looked over at Cheng Weiwan in a cute and pleasing manner.
When Cheng Han acted up while Cheng Weiwan was busy, she lectured him in the past.
But today, Cheng Han wasn’t hers anymore. Seeing that she was about to leave, Cheng Weiwan didn’t hold back and took the milk bottle from the wet nurse’s hands and indulgingly fed Cheng Han.
After he finished drinking his milk, Cheng Han didn’t want to sleep. He wanted to play with his toys.
Han Zhifan hadn’t shown up to the patient room yet, so Cheng Weiwan naturally wanted to spend more time with Cheng Han. Unlike before, when she strictly asked Cheng Han to sleep at his bedtime, she stayed and continued playing with him.
At half past ten in the evening, Cheng Weiwan checked the time. It was far too late in the evening, so she started coaxing Cheng Han to go to sleep.
A second ago, Cheng Han was happily playing with toys, but for some reason, he started crying when he laid in bed.
Cheng Weiwan thought Cheng Han hadn’t played enough and was acting up, so she strictly told Cheng Han off. In the past, when Cheng Han saw that his mother was unhappy, he was good. However, this time, he didn’t stop crying. In fact, he cried even more fiercely.
Cheng Weiwan realized something was wrong. She hugged Cheng Han and paced around trying to cheer him up, but Cheng Han continued to cry. In the end, he cried until his little face turned red. He coughed for a while then threw up the milk he just drank.
“What’s wrong with the young master? Why did he start throwing up?” the wet nurse asked worriedly as she picked up a tissue and wiped the milk Chen Han just threw up.
Cheng Weiwan furrowed her brows but didn’t say anything. Instead, she lowered her forehead to touch Cheng Han’s and realized that the fever that had gone down was now showing signs of coming back again.
Chapter 966: Taking Medicine (1)
“Hanhan’s got a fever again. Call the doctor to come take a look…” urged Cheng Weiwan as she turned her head and looked over at the wet nurse. Then she hugged Hanhan and paced around, softly trying to cheer him up.
Hanhan must’ve been in a lot of pain because he cried breathlessly.
Cheng Weiwan felt his body temperature rising while carrying him.
The housekeeper, who left in a hurry, rushed quickly back with the doctor and nurse.
Cheng Weiwan put Cheng Han back to bed, and the doctor and nurse started to examine Cheng Han at the bed.
Soon after, the doctor glanced at the thermometer in his hands and turned to Cheng Weiwan, the housekeeper, and the wet nurse, who were standing to one side with anxious looks on their faces. “The young master’s fever is a little serious. There must be another reason why he’s repeatedly having fevers. We have to take his blood and do further tests.”
With that said, the doctor looked over at the nurse beside him. “Quickly go make preparations.”
“Yes,” swiftly answered the nurse as she walked out of the room.
In no time, the nurse came back pushing a little cart.
The doctor shot the nurse a look and she immediately walked over to the side of the bed and picked Cheng Han up.
She rolled Cheng Han’s pajama sleeves up, revealing his little arms.
The doctor cleansed the needle then injected the needle without hesitation and drew his blood.
The sharp pain made Cheng Han cry in even more anguish.
The doctor drew several tubes of blood before he stopped.
After he took out the needle, the doctor didn’t linger in the patient room. He grabbed the tubes of blood he just drew and walked into the lab.
The doctor suggested Cheng Han not to take medicine before his condition was known because he wanted to wait a while for the test results to come out. During this time, Cheng Han cried and pulled a tantrum.
Perhaps it was because their hearts as mother and son were one, but Cheng Weiwan’s heart ached when she heard Cheng Han crying. Her heart was incredibly rattled. If she wasn’t hugging Hanhan, she sat restlessly, paced around the room, and almost lost it.
As time went by, the stress in Cheng Weiwan’s heart grew. Just when she couldn’t help but carry Hanhan to go see the doctor and ask about his condition, a knock came on the door of the silent room.
The doctor returned with the test results in his hands.
The expression on his face was a little serious. Cheng Weiwan’s heart dropped and she instinctively tightened her embrace around Hanhan. “Doctor Lou, how is Hanhan?”
Doctor Luo didn’t answer Cheng Weiwan but looked over at the housekeeper beside him. “Give Mr. Han a call and ask him to come to the hospital now.”
That one sentence made Cheng Weiwan’s complexion instantly turn pale.
She vaguely guessed that Hanhan’s condition was worse than she imagined, so she didn’t dare ask.
After the housekeeper followed the doctor’s orders and gave Han Zhifan a call, she asked, “What’s wrong with the young master?”
“Preliminary test results show signs of the young master possibly having a blood disorder. The possibility of it being leukemia is rather high. As for what type it may be, we’ll need to perform further tests tomorrow to confirm it.”
Leukemia? How does Hanhan suddenly have leukemia?
Cheng Weiwan glanced down at Hanhan who had purple lips and fallen asleep from tiring himself out crying. She took two steps back and her legs went limp as she fell down on the bed.
The wet nurse must’ve also been frightened by the word “leukemia” as she was completely stunned. “How did he get this disease all of a sudden? Is it curable?” she stuttered.
“Right now, I don’t dare to make any promises. We must wait for all the test results to come through.”
