"Ah Yuan!" Mrs. Xiao, who had not left, saw her tall and handsome son finally return to the ward. She was so surprised that she stood up from the stool and quickly walked up to him. "Ah Yuan, are your injuries serious? Let me take a look. "
She was not faking her concern. She really cared about her only son.
Unfortunately, a missed opportunity was a missed opportunity. Xia Jinyuan did not care about her at all.
He stepped away from her and stood aside with a faint smile. "Thank you for your concern. I just changed the gauze this morning, so I can't let you take a look."
His attitude was neither cold nor warm. He treated her with the courtesy of an ordinary relative.
"I see … Then I'll take a look when I change the gauze." Mrs. Xiao retracted her hand awkwardly and chased after him to the bedside. She asked in a delicate voice, "Have you eaten lunch? Are you hungry? I brought some fruit, including your favorite banana. Let me get it for you. "
She wanted to mend the relationship between mother and son, but Xia Jinyuan refused. He sneered and said lightly, "You're welcome. My father and I don't like bananas. It's a waste for you to buy them."
"But you used to …" She remembered that Ah Yuan used to like bananas very much. Only Old Xia did not like bananas. Mrs. Xiao was surprised at first, but when she saw the indifference in Xia Jinyuan's eyes, she could no longer say "but you used to like bananas".
Yes, that was a long time ago. Her son had grown up, and she was old. Some things had changed.
Mrs. Xiao stared at her grown son and smiled bitterly. "I really shouldn't have come today. I thought about whether I should or not, but I still came."
Looking at her unmoved and indifferent son, Mrs. Xiao knew that she should leave. She got up and said to Commander-in-Chief Xia, "Old Xia, sorry to trouble you today."
Commander-in-chief Xia, who had already gotten over his ex-wife's actions, nodded slightly and said to Xia Jinyuan, who looked indifferent, "Your mother is also worried about you."
"I know." Xia Jinyuan smiled and turned to Ms. Xiao, who was so upset that she turned away. "Thank you for coming to see me today, but this is how I am. Please understand."
Mrs. Xiao, who couldn't stand her son's politeness, nodded her head carelessly. She clutched her bag tightly and said, "I'll leave first." Then, she staggered out of the ward.
Commander-in-Chief Xia sighed softly and turned around to send his ex-wife out of the hospital.
If he had known this would happen, why did he do it in the first place?
By the time he thought about making it up to her, Sixth Brother was already past the age where he needed maternal love.
When he ran out of the ward, he saw that his ex-wife had not left. Instead, she was leaning against the cold wall with her head raised high, trying hard to force back the tears in her eyes.
Commander-in-Chief Xia approached and stood in front of his ex-wife. He said in a deep voice, "Sixth Sister has grown up. There are many things that I can't control."
"… I know. Today … Thank you." Mrs. Xiao forced her tears back and pressed the corners of her eyes with her hand. When she stood still, her face returned to its usual dignified state. She said in a dry voice, "I didn't expect him to be so polite to me like a guest. He wasn't fierce, he didn't scold me, and he was very polite. Old Xia, you taught Ah Yuan well. You've worked hard all these years."
Commander-in-Chief Xia smiled. "I didn't take care of him much. He grew up on his own." He paused for a moment and his face became serious. His voice was much deeper. "You haven't answered my previous question. How did you find out that Sixth Brother was in the hospital?"
