Ch.342 A Father’s Regret (2)

At night, Shen Xiuqi was dealing with some work in the study. Su Yaya walked to the door and knocked. Upon hearing Shen Xiuqi’s voice which was asking her to come in, Su Yaya then opened the door and walked in with a plate of fruits in hand.

Su Yaya smiled and said, “Mother cut these up just now. Have some.”

Shen Xiuqi quickly stood up and walked over, took over the plate from her, held her hand and walked to the chair beside them to take a seat.

“It looks delicious.” Shen Xiuqi smiled and fed Su Yaya a slice of apple with a toothpick.

Su Yaya smiled at him and ate the apple slice, she then smiled and said: “It’s very sweet, have a piece too.”

She then reached out and picked up a toothpick to fork a piece of apple slice before passing it into Shen Xiuqi’s mouth. Shen Xiuqi lowered his head slightly, opened his mouth and ate it, before saying with a smile, “It’s really sweet.”

As the both of them fed each other piece by piece, soon they finished the whole plate of fruits.

Looking at the empty plate, Su Yaya and Shen Xiuqi smiled in unison, the scene was loving and sweet.

Seeing that Shen Xiuqi was in a good mood, Su Yaya was also in a good mood.

“I’m going to wash up and go to bed.” Su Yaya stood up and said, “I won’t disturb you from work.”

Shen Xiuqi stretched out his hand to pull her back, and said in a deep flirtatious voice: “I’m done with my work, let’s sleep together.”

Sleep together?

Su Yaya blinked, her mind filled with discordant scenes, Shen Xiuqi guessed what she was thinking about when he looked into her eyes, he then stretched out his hand and pinched her face, “Don’t get the wrong picture!”

He he he he!

The two then went back to their room to sleep.

In the middle of the night, Shen Xiuqi had a dream. He dreamt that Father Shen was standing in front of him, spitting blood from his mouth as he kept saying sorry to him in much regret, Xiuqi, I’m sorry……

Shen Xiuqi woke up from his dream in shock, and he couldn’t fall back asleep anymore. As he laid on the bed tossing and turning, he kept thinking back on his childhood memories. Before the Wu Mei and Xu Chaoran incident, his father was someone whom he greatly admired and respected.

Su Yaya also woke up because of Shen Xiuqi, she laid in his arms and asked why he wasn’t asleep yet.

Shen Xiuqi put his arms around her, sighed, and asked, “How…is my dad…”

Su Yaya looked at Shen Xiuqi, his face was clearly distressed, and she replied, “Not doing so well.”

Shen Xiuqi was silent for a long time. When Su Yaya thought he would not say another word, she suddenly heard his low and repressed voice, “I want to head to the hospital tomorrow.”

Su Yaya paused, she felt sorry for him, and said, “I’ll go with you tomorrow.”

Shen Xiuqi let out an “um”, lowered his head and kissed her on the forehead, before saying, “Go back to sleep.” 𝗳𝘳𝒆𝘦𝑤𝐞𝚋𝗻𝚘𝘷𝘦𝙡.𝑐𝐨𝘮

On the second day, Su Yaya accompanied Shen Xiuqi to the hospital to visit Father Shen.

When they got to the door of the ward, they heard a voice in pain coming from inside, and it turns out that the doctor was treating Father Shen.

Su Yaya and Shen Xiuqi stood at the door and listened to Father Shen’s deep voice as he groaned in pain. Although Shen Xiuqi’s face was expressionless, Su Yaya had been with him for such a long time, so she could tell the emotions he was feeling, she could sense that he wasn’t as relaxed as he seemed.

After a while, the doctor completed the treatment and walked out of the ward with the nurse.

Shen Xiuqi quickly asked the doctor: “How is my father doing?”

The doctor said truthfully: “The patient’s condition is rather stable, but the treatment was delayed for way too long. If he had undergone treatment sooner, it wouldn’t be this serious. Of course, we will still try our best to treat him.”
