Married to Officer, Pregnant Specialist becomes the Winner!-Chapter 286 - 285: In the End, One Must Make Peace With Oneself

Chapter 286: Chapter 285: In the End, One Must Make Peace With Oneself

Very soon, the car arrived at the cemetery.

Sheng Xinhao was helped out of the car by a guard.

He quickly arrived in front of Sang Yuwan’s tombstone.

Looking at the beautiful woman in the black-and-white photo on the tombstone.

Sheng Xinhao slowly knelt down.

"A Wan, I’m sorry."

"All these years, I’ve let you down, and I’ve let A Xi down."

"You probably blame me a lot down there."

Sheng Xinhao’s right hand covered his left, his face growing paler as he endured the severe pain from his left hand.

"It’s okay, A Wan, you have every right to blame me."

"When my time comes, you can hit me, you can scold me, just... don’t ignore me."

"A Wan, rest assured, A Xi is doing well now, he has a family of his own, and everything I have is left to him."

"Although he might not care much, ultimately, we are father and son, and I have hurt him so much over the years, it’s only right to make amends."

As Sheng Xinhao spoke, tears fell at this moment.

In the past, Sheng Xinhao always thought he was above others, unwilling to admit his mistakes.

But it was precisely because of this unwillingness to admit, that he missed out on so much and lost so much.

Now that he finally opened his mouth to admit his mistakes, he discovered that admitting mistakes wasn’t that hard.

At that moment, the severe pain in his left arm returned.

The guard in the distance saw Sheng Xinhao collapse straight to the ground.

"Officer!"

-

The train chugged forward.

This time, Sheng Zexi still bought a sleeper ticket.

Because he added a place for his grandfather’s guard, he bought out the opposite sleeper tickets as well.

This made it feel much more spacious.

Sheng Zexi couldn’t deny that the words of Sheng Xinhao had an impact on him.

Gu Jia Ning also noticed that from the moment they boarded the train, her husband seemed normal but was exceptionally quiet.

When they were settled, Gu Jia Ning leaned over, taking his hand, trying to give him strength. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Sheng Zexi pulled his gaze from the window back, staring at Gu Jia Ning, and held her hand in return.

"I’m sorry for worrying you."

Gu Jia Ning shook her head, "Did he say something unpleasant?"

If that were the case, Gu Jia Ning would surely be upset.

But Sheng Zexi shook his head and then recounted what Sheng Xinhao had said to him on the train.

"I never thought he would apologize to me one day."

"Nor did I expect that he would recognize me one day."

Thinking about it, Sheng Zexi found it unbelievable.

Gu Jia Ning suddenly understood; so that’s how it was.

It seemed that her father-in-law had truly changed.

"Isn’t this a good thing?"

Actually, she knew, Brother Xi also hoped to gain his father’s recognition.

"There’s a picture of Daddy!"

At this moment, Yueyue’s childish voice sounded from beside them.

Sheng Zexi turned back, hearing Yueyue continue, "At the old house, on the table, there’s a picture frame, inside there’s Daddy, there’s Grandma..."

Xingxing nodded along, "I saw Grandpa holding the frame, crying secretly."

Xingxing and Yueyue had visited Sang Yuwan’s tomb before.

So they recognized the woman in the Sheng Family’s old house’s frame as Grandma Sang Yuwan.

The photo had three people.

There was Grandma, a young Grandpa, and Daddy.

Sheng Zexi was momentarily in a daze, then remembered there indeed was such a photo.

The photo was taken a week before his mom passed away, the family of three had gone to take it together.

But later due to his mom’s passing, he forgot about that photo.

Unexpectedly, it was with the old man all this time.

All along, he kept it.

All along he would look at the picture and cry secretly...

Sheng Zexi’s emotions were extremely mixed.

Just then, the train conductor suddenly came over to Sheng Zexi’s side.

"Sheng Group, your father’s guard called us, seems like there’s something important."

Upon hearing this, Sheng Zexi immediately stood up, quickly giving a few instructions, then hurriedly left with the conductor.

Gu Jia Ning watched his hurried back, her brows furrowing.

It seemed like only a minute had passed, when she saw Sheng Zexi hurrying back, his face not looking well, his eyes slightly red.

At the sight of Gu Jia Ning, he grabbed her hand, "Ningning, my Dad has fainted."

"The guard said it’s his left arm acting up."

"The doctor checked, said he delayed too long, now it’s very dangerous, he might be facing amputation, even life-threatening."

"They say he needs surgery urgently, but, they have no confidence."

As he spoke, Sheng Zexi’s eyes reddened even further.

Gu Jia Ning immediately stood up, "Then what are we waiting for, let’s hurry and turn back."

Sheng Zexi was stunned.

Gu Jia Ning patted his hand, "I’ll take over, I’ll go see what’s going on."

"Brother Xi, since he has apologized, you should also make peace with yourself."

If they chose to ignore it, Gu Jia Ning knew, this matter would surely stay in Sheng Zexi’s heart, perhaps lingering for the rest of his life.

So, saving him was necessary!

Besides, there was confidence in her words.

About her father-in-law’s hand condition, she remembered, three years ago, when she was pregnant with Xingxing and Yueyue, heavily pregnant while giving lectures in Beijing, Fang Wanrong wanted her to operate on Sheng Xinhao.

But back then, their relationship was very strained.

There was no follow-up on that matter.

Over the past few years, her father-in-law was probably receiving conservative treatment all the while.

Not long ago, when her father-in-law came to find Xingxing and Yueyue, Gu Jia Ning remembered this matter and had the system bind to Sheng Xinhao, knowing about his condition.

She had even practiced how to treat Sheng Xinhao’s condition in the space.

She was confident.

However, she also knew that with the current level of medical technology, apart from her, few could confidently operate on Sheng Xinhao’s hand.

Earlier, since Sheng Zexi’s relationship with her father-in-law was poor, she naturally wouldn’t have volunteered for the surgery.

But now...

The relationship had eased.

Her father-in-law had also changed for the better.

And he was good to Xingxing and Yueyue.

Moreover...

She knew that even though Brother Xi spoke of not caring about Sheng Xinhao as a father, deep down, he did care.

At the end of the day, it’s hard for children to get past parental bonds.

He still longed for his parents’ recognition and praise.

Now, it was just a matter of him being unwilling to let go of the grievances he suffered back then.

But, as people...

We need to make peace with ourselves.

Only then can we better move forward.

Sheng Zexi stood staring at Gu Jia Ning, her words spoke right to his heart.

He said nothing more, just gazed at Gu Jia Ning.

After a while, he said, "Alright."

Since the train was still running, there was no way to stop midway.

Luckily, the next station wasn’t far, just over ten minutes away.

Sheng Zexi first communicated with Sheng Xinhao’s guard by phone, instructing them to prepare, so when Gu Jia Ning arrived, they could proceed directly with the surgery.
