Chapter 486: Shin and Huian (5)

Liang Zou knocked on the groom’s room door. “Shin, my boy! Are you ready? It’s time for your wedding~~”
But when he entered, he found Shin sitting on the chair with a grim expression on his face.
“Shin. Why do you have such a gloomy expression on? Come on. It’s time!”
But he said nothing. With his grave silence and his gaze, Liang Zou felt that something was seriously wrong.
He put his hand on his shoulder. “Shin, are you okay? What happened?”
Shin looked up at his father. “Dad. I might need to go to the hospital.”
He widened his eyes. “Say what? Shin, this isn’t the time to joke, okay.”
“I am not joking.”
He looked at his son, speechless. “Are you crazy? Today is your wedding! Whatever the emergency case is, you have your team of doctors to attend it. They are just as capable, and that is why you gave them the responsibility in your absence.”
“It’s Mu Shuchun.”
Liang Zou was stunned. “What?”
Shin went on to explain everything that happened at the hospital.
“Dad, I really don’t care about my reputation or my medical license. In the worst case, I can join the family business. Under no circumstances do I want to treat Shuchun when today is my wedding with Huian. But…it’s just not the question of my career. The team of doctors and nurses working with me will be severely affected too. Their reputation will take a hit as well. I don’t want to ruin their careers because of my personal problems.”
“Wait, wait, wait. I don’t understand why Shuchun would do this? Why is she forcing you to come to this extent? Aren’t you two good friends?”
Shin’s lips stretched into a thin line. Liang Zou and Liang Xiao Dan never knew about his past with Mu Shuchun.
Just then, Liang Xiao Dan and Nana entered too. “Big brother, what happened? It’s already time…”
They also noticed the serious atmosphere.
“Zou, Shin, what’s wrong?” Liang Xiao Dan asked.
When Liang Zou said everything, they looked at Shin, aghast.
“What! How could Shuchun do this? We know her since the time we lived in Paris. She was always such a sweet girl.”
Nana furrowed her brows. “I met her just one time, and from the conversation we had, I guessed that she had gotten pregnant quite early in her youth, and she aborted it without telling the father of her child for her modeling career. She seemed as if she really regretted taking that hasty decision.”
Liang Zou and Liang Xiao Dan were stunned. “Really?”
She nodded.
“Oh, dear. We never knew…But how is it connected to what is happening now?”
Shin clasped his hands and shut his eyes. “I was the father of that child.”
Silence.
His family looked at him with utter shock and disbelief.
Liang Xiao Dan gasped. “W-what are you saying?”
Shin’s eyes slightly turned wet, and he sadly smiled. “Yes…it’s true.”
When he finally revealed his past with Mu Shuchun, his relationship with her, and the bitter truth that his child was gone even before he knew about it; Nana and his parents had a hard time taking in the shocking revelation.
Liang Xiao Dan rushed to embrace him as she cried. “You idiot son…for seven years, you were hiding and bearing all that pain alone, you were hurt all this time, and you didn’t even share it with us. Why?”
Nana held his hand as tears trickled down her cheeks. “Big brother… I am sorry…I didn’t know that she was talking about you.”
Now Liang Zou understood why Shin wasn’t interested in any relationship, no matter how much he nagged him. His past was a thorn in his heart that always cruelly stabbed him.
Liang Zou felt extremely guilty.
I was so insensitive. I must have always reminded him of Shuchun whenever I bothered him to date.
Liang Xiao Dan pursed her lips as she felt torn apart. “Why didn’t you tell us? Why did you take it all by yourself? You have hurt me, Shin. Zou and I would have always supported you in that tough time. Such a huge thing happened in your life, and we, as parents, knew nothing about it. Do you understand our feelings at all?”
“Seven years, and we could do nothing for you when you needed us the most. You are going to be a parent yourself soon. How will you feel if your child hides such important events in his or her life from you?”
Shin stiffened.
Now that she pointed it out, he realized that he would indeed feel terrible as well if he didn’t know anything about his child or his suffering if he did.
Liang Zou patted his head, “Shin. When we become parents, we strive to be the strongest pillar of love and support for our children so that they can lean on our shoulders whenever they face such tough times. So that they know that we are always there for them. But what is the use of this strength if children hide their pain from us?”
Shin broke down. “Mom, Dad…I am sorry…I just felt ashamed of myself. First, I carelessly got her pregnant so young, and then I even failed to protect my child…I didn’t know how to face you anymore.”
Liang Xiao Dan burst into tears. She felt terrible thinking of her lost grandchild. Just how painful it must have been for Shin all this time?
She gently pulled his head and leaned it on her chest. “I am sorry you had to bear the loss…”
Nana tightly held his hand and hugged him. “Big brother, I am always here for you.”
Shin smiled as he wiped their tears. “It’s alright, Mom, Nana. It’s in the past, and I have already moved on from it.”
Nana slowly asked, “Does Huian know…”
“Yes. She accidentally came to know the truth, but even if she hadn’t, I would have told her everything before the wedding.”
“Well, that’s a relief that she knows everything.”
Liang Xiao Dan was disappointed. “I cannot believe that the Shuchun I know would stoop so low to stop your wedding. Even if she regrets it, it’s too late.”
Liang Zou asked, “What have you decided, Shin?”
Shin narrowed his eyes as a dark glint flashed past them. “I will go to the hospital.”
Suddenly, they heard some noise, and Shin abruptly stood in shock as he looked towards the entrance.
“Huian…”
