Chapter 816: Chapter 611: Mom, Are You Calling Dad?_2

"If you can’t make it, everything I do is meaningless."

"..."

"Even if I won’t let those who harmed you go, it still doesn’t matter... do you understand?"

"Yes."

Yin Shixiu responded, and for a moment, the atmosphere felt a bit heavy. Time passed second by second, and the time for him to enter the operating room approached.

"What are Shuang’er and Huang’er doing?"

Yin Shixiu suddenly asked.

When kids were mentioned, Su Xiaomeng instinctively smiled, a gentle, comforting smile,

"The siblings were clamoring to go to the amusement park early in the morning. It’s such hot weather, and you’re about to go into surgery. How could I have the heart to take them to an amusement park?"

"I told Mom that I wanted to get some good sleep before coming in, so the siblings didn’t make a fuss; they probably accepted their fate."

"Right now, Ah Su is playing with them in the living room."

Just by listening, Yin Shixiu seemed to be able to imagine the siblings’ every move.

His usually sharp eagle eyes always soften when talking about the kids.

"Want to see them?"

"Of course."

Yin Shixiu did not hide his longing for the children.

Su Xiaomeng might still feel as though being able to video call Yin Shixiu is like a dream, fearing she might be woken up carelessly.

"Hang in there! You’ll definitely get to see them!"

"Mm."

Yin Shixiu blinked.

It wasn’t early anymore; on the other end, the attending doctors had come in again, bustling about with pre-surgery preparations.

"I’ll turn off the video now."

Yin Shixiu said to her.

Su Xiaomeng agreed almost at once, that light "okay"... her lips even trembled slightly from fear.

"Su Xiaomeng, give me a smile."

Yin Shixiu said to her,

"Just like how you often pull my face and say, Uncle, give me a smile..."

Su Xiaomeng’s eyes welled with moisture, and she softly smiled,

"I’ll wait for you."

After saying this softly, she turned off the video, placed the tablet aside, and the tears gathering in her eyes didn’t fall in front of him.

She lay in bed, reached out to hug the blue Winnie the Pooh from the nightstand into her arms.

The surgery lasted a full six and a half hours.

At three in the morning, Su Xiaomeng received a call from Eric,

"The surgery was very successful; Arthur has been wheeled back to his room. It will still take some time for him to wake up."

Su Xiaomeng’s tightly clenched heart finally relaxed a bit,

"Thank you, Eric."

"Arthur said you probably wouldn’t be able to sleep, and hearing your voice, I can tell you haven’t, right?"

Su Xiaomeng could only give a bitter smile,

"Watching movies, watching dramas... afraid to be woken up by nightmares if I fall asleep."

"Ah, God can be really torturous."

"It’s not really torture; as long as the surgery is successful, it’s fine. I’ll sleep for another three or four hours."

"Yes, don’t worry, I’m taking care of Arthur. Even if I’m not there, the best caregivers will look after him. Once he sees you, everything will be fine, everything will go smoothly..."

Su Xiaomeng felt warmth in her heart for a while,

"Thank you so much, Eric."

After hanging up the phone, Su Xiaomeng lay back down and hugged the blue Winnie the Pooh into her arms again.

"Mom..."

Just then, Prince Huang softly called out to her.

Su Xiaomeng quickly turned on the bedside lamp and sat up.

She hadn’t turned on the lamp earlier to avoid waking the siblings and was speaking quietly on the phone.

Still, she didn’t expect to wake Huang Huang.

Shuangshuang and Huang Huang’s small beds were placed by the big bed, and Prince Huang directly climbed from his small bed to Su Xiaomeng’s side. In the warm yellow glow of the lamp, his bright eyes were clearly visible,

"Mom..."

"Yes?"

"Were you secretly talking to Dad on the phone?"

"..."

Su Xiaomeng was quite startled, and suddenly felt fully awake.

"Who... who told you that?"

"I guessed..."

Prince Huang said seriously, "It’s so late... who else could it be but Dad?"

After hearing this, Su Xiaomeng felt a bit relieved.

But...

The child’s sensitivity often caught people off guard.

Those dark eyes seemed to see through all the lies adults tell.

Su Xiaomeng hugged Prince Huang,

"Huang Huang... did Mom’s phone call wake you up?"

"Hmm... I need to pee..."

"..."

Su Xiaomeng was about to start chatting with her son, feeling sentimental, but Huang Huang’s straightforward answer took her by surprise.

Turns out he was woken up by the need to pee...

Really out of sorts.

She got up to take him to the bathroom.

After using the toilet and washing his little hands, Prince Huang snuggled into Su Xiaomeng’s arms, making it clear he didn’t want to return to his small bed.
