“Why would I? I’m already very grateful that you don’t mind my poor background.”
Whenever Xu Xiyan was with him, she often felt undeserving of him.
She wanted to be better and stronger so she would become qualified to stand side by side with him.
“No, you’re already perfect enough. In my heart, you’re the kindest and the most beautiful woman in the world. It is my greatest fortune to have met you!”
He lifted a hand and held her face gently, as if he wanted to take a good look at her, engraving that perfect image of her in his mind forever.
“Me too.”
It is also my fortune to have met you.
The two gazed at each other, only having each other in their eyes.
At this moment, the whole ward was filled with love and warmth.
The two conversed with each other softly while watching over their daughter. Time passed little by little until they heard a childish voice, “Mommy… Daddy…”
Both Xu Xiyan and Huo Yunshen were surprised. They lifted their heads at the same time and saw that the little girl on the hospital bed had already woken up.
After sleeping, the kid now looked more energized and her face was not as pale as before. Her large grapes-like eyes rolled around as they moved back and forth between the faces of the two adults.
How happy she was to be able to see her daddy and mommy by her side after opening her eyes!
Huo Yunshen suddenly heard the child call him “Daddy.” He could not believe the pleasant surprise and asked Xu Xiyan, “Did she just call me Daddy?”
“Yup, she just called you that.”
Xu Xiyan smiled, then leaned over to check the child’s condition. “Baby, are you awake?”
Ying Bao nodded.
Huo Yunshen steered his wheelchair towards her and called her softly, “Cherry.”
Ying Bao blinked her big eyes, then stared at Huo Yunshen for a while before saying, “Daddy…”
She was really calling him Daddy!
He thought that the little girl would continue to resent him and had been searching his mind on how he could restore the image his daughter had known him for. Now, he realized that his daughter was really more sensible than the average child and she was able to understand the hardships of an adult.
“Cherry, Daddy is so happy that he can have such a good and lovely daughter like you. Daddy is really so lucky.”
Huo Yunshen was so moved that tears began to well up in his eyes. He was so happy to be able to hear his child call him Daddy again. He felt like crying.
Ying Bao held out a chubby little hand at him. Huo Yunshen took her little hand in his, both father and daughter clenching each other’s hands tightly.
Ying Bao arched her eyebrows as she smiled. “Daddy, Baby is so lucky too. Baby was dreaming about you.”
“Really? What did you dream?”
“Baby dreamt that Daddy could walk again, and Daddy was flying a kite with Baby.”
The child had even dreamed of flying a kite with him. This showed how much she had longed for a father’s love.
Huo Yunshen blinked his teary eyes as he promised her, “Okay, after Cherry is discharged from the hospital, Daddy will fly a kite with you.”
Ying Bao was very happy to hear that, but when she thought of her father’s wheelchair, she asked again anxiously, “But Daddy can’t run and fly a kite in a wheelchair!”
“Yes, I can. Daddy has already learned how to walk. Daddy will never rely on a wheelchair anymore.”
“That’s great.” Wanting to fly a kite with her father as soon as possible, Ying Bao tugged on her mother’s sleeves with her little hand and pleaded, “Mommy, Baby is already feeling okay. Baby can be discharged from the hospital.”
Xu Xiyan caressed her child’s face and persuaded her, “You can’t for the time being. The wound on your head is still not yet healed and you still have to stay in the hospital for treatment. You can only go home after the doctor says that you can leave the hospital.”
“Oh.”
Ying Bao pouted her little mouth, feeling upset after her mother had burst her bubble. She still had to be hospitalized. How much longer would she need to stay in the hospital? It’s so boring!
