Chapter 404: A tiny hope
Nana and Serena’s discharge from the hospital was just a day away now. In the past few days, Jinhai never came to meet Nana again after their argument that day. That made Nana feel puzzled as she never expected this behavior from Jinh ai.
But unknown to her, Jinhai actually visited her every night after she would go to sleep. He watched over her for the whole night without caring for his own sleep.
But Nana was unaware. After that day, he never came again. And tomorrow, she would be leaving the hospital.
“Baaaaaa…baaaaaa…”
“baaaaa….”
Jian and Nian were squirming in her embrace as they were adorably sucking on her breast for their yummy milk.
Liang Xiao Dan entered, bringing the stroller and some baby supplies. She laughed. “They seem so serious while having their meal.”
“Isn’t it?” Nana chuckled.
Liang Xiao Dan put the supplies and sat beside her. “You will finally be out tomorrow.”
“En. I cannot wait to go home. I was tired of being in the hospital for so long.”
Liang Xiao Dan slightly stiffened. According to what Liang Zou said, Jinhai had already declared that he would take Nana to the Liu villa this time. She didn’t know how because she was sure that Nana wouldn’t agree, mostly now of all times.
She glanced at Nana.
But it doesn’t seem like Nana knows, she thought. Is she thinking that she is going back to Liang villa?
Liang Xiao Dan pondered over it but didn’t understand.
Will Nana really agree? How though…
If Nana really didn’t want to, then, of course, she was welcomed to stay at Liang villa.
“Mom, what are you thinking?” Nana asked. “You seem in a daze.”
Liang Xiao Dan stared at her for a second. “Nana, are you going back with Jinhai?”
Nana was startled. “Jinhai?”
“Yes, back to the Liu villa?”
“No! I don’t want to go with him!” She lowered her head and watched her twins, who were peacefully drinking the milk. Nana gently hugged them a little tighter. “I will not go with him. I cannot forgive him that his decision endangered my son’s lives.”
Liang Xiao Dan was now more confused.
Jinhai seemed firm to take her with him, and she is determined not to go back.
“Mom…can I stay with you all a little more?” Nana asked hesitantly.
“Of course, dear! You don’t need to ask. Liang villa is also your home. You are our daughter. You can live there as long as you like.” She patted her head.
Nana felt relieved. She thought that she was a burden to them, so that’s why she asked if she was going back with Jinhai.
When she looked back at her, Liang Xiao Dan seemed troubled. “Is there something else bothering you too?”
“Huh? Oh yes…Actually, I met Xiao Fan in the hospital yesterday.”
Nana slowly nodded. She had also seen her when she met Serena.
“What did you two talk?”
Liang Xiao Dan awkwardly smiled. “Nothing much actually. We suddenly bumped into each other. She asked me about you, and I asked her about Serena and her son. Oh, I met the baby. Hehe~~ he is damn adorable.”
Nana smiled and nodded. “He is.”
“En. I can see similarities between him and Xiao Fan too.” She was unconsciously clasping her hands and her gaze felt sad and lonely.
Nana sighed. “Mom, you are missing her, right?”
Liang Xiao Dan stiffened.
“I know that you want to reconcile with her, but perhaps you think of me, and then you withdraw.”
“No, no. It’s nothing like that.” She quickly said.
“Mom, I understand. You don’t have to feel guilty. I was the same. When Serena betrayed me, I couldn’t let go of our friendship either. I was disappointed with her, but I couldn’t hate her. Every day, I would recall our memories together, and so many times, I felt that I should let everything go and reconcile with her. Even if she made some mistakes, it was hard to cut her off from my life completely. She was my best friend, after all. It was hard not to think about her. If I couldn’t forget Serena, then how can you forget Huo Xiao Fan, your biological sister?”
Liang Xiao Dan was quiet. She softly said, “I do miss her though sometimes…”
Nana smiled. “Mom, if you really feel, then talk to her once. We are all reunited now, right? So, don’t think about the past anymore. Perhaps she might be wanting the same.”
“No. She will never forgive us because we killed her child…” Her eyes teared up.
Nana said, “I understand that. It could be, or it could be not that way. But how would you know if you don’t talk to her? She knows in her heart that you and Dad are guilty of what happened. Dad didn’t do it on purpose to harm her we child. Maybe the chance is just 1%, but she might be willing to forgive you as well just like you are willing to forgive her.”
Liang Xiao Dan was in deep thought.
“Think about it. And yesterday, she didn’t ignore you, right? Or insulted you in hatred? So, there is hope, Mom. I think she is also slowly starting to let it go.”
She nodded and agreed with Nana.
“Y-you are right. I should talk to her once.”
Nana smiled, feeling satisfied.
Liang Xiao Dan said, “You are the best daughter any parents can ever ask for.” She wiped the corner of her eye.
“Hehe, ~~ that I am.”
“Alright. You rest now.”
Liang Xiao Dan left after playing with the twins for some minutes.
Nana shook her head and smiled. She kissed her son’s on their cheeks. “Grandma seemed so happy, right?”
“Baaaaaa…”
“Baaaaa…baaaaa….”
The twins gave their nod. She chuckled.
But unknown to her, Jinhai was silently watching her from outside the ward. He had clearly heard the conversation about how Nana already expressed her disagreement on going back with him.
Jinhai tilted his head and smiled. He looked at Nana, who was laughing with the twins by her side.
Not willing to come back with me? That is impossible, I fear, my little wife.
