Zhai Qintian slightly opened his eyes. Seeing Zhai Cheng still there, he immediately closed them again.
His scalp went numb, and he was extremely afraid that Zhai Cheng would notice something.
"How's my dad doing?" Zhai Cheng still used the word "dad". Perhaps deep down in his heart, no matter whether Zhai Qintian acknowledged him or not, he was still his father.
Song Ge looked at the two of them. They were just like kids having a spat, but she didn't expose them. "The doctor said his current condition is relatively stable, but the surgery should be carried out as soon as possible."
Zhai Cheng's face was solemn. Unconsciously, he tightened his fists. "I'll arrange the surgery as soon as possible."
Tears trickled down the face of the man on the bed, and his trembling body was desperately holding back something.
Song Ge sighed. Why did they have to be like this?
"Actually, he cares about you a lot. He would ask about your recent situation from time to time." Song Ge was just making it up, but she could tell that Zhai Qintian cared about Zhai Cheng.
Zhai Cheng first widened his eyes, and then his expression turned calm with a hint of joy.
Suddenly, Zhai Qintian opened his eyes. With tear - filled eyes, he looked at Zhai Cheng. His voice was choked with sobs. "I'm sorry, Zhai Cheng. I'm sorry for what I've done to you all these years."
It wasn't his fault at all, but because of his own obsession, he had imposed all this pain on him.
This was the first time Zhai Cheng saw Zhai Qintian cry. He was stunned for a moment.
Zhai Qintian didn't care about his own face anymore. He just wanted to tell Zhai Cheng all his thoughts.
"It was all because of my obsession that I wanted you dead. I regret it so much now."
Zhai Cheng stepped forward and sat on the hospital bed. "Dad, it's not your fault. None of us is wrong."
Zhai Qintian looked up at Zhai Cheng, showing his emotions without any disguise. "Zhai Cheng, will you forgive me?" His tone was filled with a hint of expectation, and at the same time, he was afraid that Zhai Cheng wouldn't forgive him. After all, he had wanted him dead!
"I forgive you, Dad." Before he knew it, tears also rolled down Zhai Cheng's face.
Song Ge stood aside, silent. Seeing them being so open with each other, she was happy inside.
Zhai Qintian's tears flowed even more fiercely. Coupled with his illness, his face was terribly pale, which made Zhai Cheng feel heart - ache.
"Let's not blame ourselves anymore. None of us is wrong. It's all the grudges of the previous generation." Zhai Cheng paused. "The most urgent thing is to have the surgery soon so that you can get healthy and our family can live happily together."
Hearing about the surgery, Zhai Qintian didn't say a word.
Zhai Cheng didn't think much of it. He thought Zhai Qintian was just scared.
The two of them had said what they needed to say, and their relationship was obviously much better than before.
Zhai Qintian took Song Ge's hand, who was standing aside, and placed it in Zhai Cheng's hand. Earnestly, he said, "I hope the two of you can support each other. Only in this way can you be together for a long time."
Zhai Cheng tightened his grip on Song Ge's hand. "Okay."
Zhai Qintian nodded in satisfaction. It seemed that there was nothing left for him to worry about.
"When are you two planning to have a baby?" Zhai Qintian suddenly asked this question, and a flash of sadness passed through his eyes.
Song Ge and Zhai Cheng were both stunned. She lowered her head and didn't say a word.
Seeing their reactions, Zhai Cheng laughed. "Have a chubby grandson for me to hold earlier. Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't have the chance in the future..."
Zhai Cheng thought Zhai Qintian was afraid that the surgery would fail. He comforted him, "Dad, don't worry. The success rate of the surgery is very high."
Zhai Cheng nodded but just remained silent.
Since they had brought up this topic, Zhai Cheng continued, "Dad, let's have the surgery earlier so that you can recover faster."
Just like before, Zhai Qintian didn't say a word.
Zhai Cheng thought Zhai Qintian was just too tired, so he didn't force him. "Dad, are you tired? If you are, take a rest. Only in this way can you be in a better state for the surgery."
Zhai Qintian hesitated to speak but finally said nothing. He just nodded.
Song Ge looked at his expression. She always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't put her finger on it.
Zhai Cheng didn't notice anything. He was just fantasizing about their happy life together as a family in the future.
Zhai Cheng took Song Ge and left the ward.
After they got out, Song Ge always felt that something was wrong. Zhai Cheng noticed her expression and subconsciously asked, "What's wrong?"
Song Ge hesitated for a while and then said what was on her mind. "I always feel that something is wrong. It seems that Uncle has something to hide from us."
Zhai Cheng was still immersed in the happy mood of making up with Zhai Qintian. He didn't think much of Song Ge's words. "You must be overthinking."
Song Ge nodded. She also hoped that she was overthinking. Then she smiled. "Congratulations. You've finally made up with Uncle."
There was also a smile on Zhai Cheng's lips. "I owe this to you." Although Song Ge didn't say much, he knew that she had been silently accompanying him and helping him come up with ideas.
Hearing what the man said, Song Ge felt a bit embarrassed. She lowered her head. "It's nothing." As long as he was happy, she would be happy too.
Suddenly, she remembered something. "Hey, right. Let's tell Aunt about this quickly. She must be very happy."
Zhai Cheng nodded in agreement. Just as he took out his phone, he heard a "bang", but he didn't know what had happened.
Suddenly, someone in the crowd shouted.
"Someone's jumped off the building."
"Someone's jumped off the building."
Zhai Cheng and Song Ge were both stunned. They followed the crowd downstairs.
There were too many people in the hospital, and the crime scene in the front was surrounded tightly.
Zhai Cheng and Song Ge couldn't squeeze in.
Actually, it was quite strange. Neither of them was the type who liked to watch the excitement, but for some reason today, they both followed the crowd.
Someone in the crowd pushed Song Ge.
Song Ge was caught off guard and fell to the ground directly. People were pushing each other, and someone stepped on Song Ge hard.
Zhai Cheng pushed through the crowd, helped Song Ge up, and blew on her hand lovingly. "Are you okay?"
Song Ge shook her head. Looking at the crowd, she suggested, "How about we leave?"
"Okay." Zhai Cheng protected Song Ge in his arms and squeezed out of the crowd.
In the distance, the sound of an ambulance rang out. Doctors and nurses squeezed into the crowd.
Zhai Cheng and Song Ge walked against the flow of people. Every step was a bit difficult, but unconsciously, they were squeezed to the front by the crowd.
Song Ge accidentally glanced at the crime scene in the front. There was a pool of blood on the ground, and a man was lying there. From his hair, she could tell it was a man. She just felt that he looked very familiar.
The nurse picked up the man. After Song Ge saw his face, she stood still on the spot.
Seeing that Song Ge didn't move, there was a hint of confusion in Zhai Cheng's eyes. He followed her gaze and also stood still on the spot.
