Chapter 1611: Hopeless Him

Huo Yunshen saw her tears almost falling down, but she managed to control them.

The sparkling tears seemed like stars.

Even her weeping face looked identical to Jing Xi’s.

He tried to swallow but it was as if something was stuck in his throat. And he felt some pain in his heart.

He did not mean to do so. He had come to invite her to visit his son.

How did it turn out like this?

He’d almost made her cry!

Was he being too harsh?

After a few seconds, Huo Yunshen exhaled and applied a softer voice. “My apologies. I just hope that you can come back...”

Jing Xi turned to the side and answered resolutely. “My apologies too. But I’m not going back there!”

Huo Yunshen felt hopeless in front of this determined woman. At last, he had to give up his pride and beg. “Jin Xiaoxi, I do hope you can reconsider it. I came because my son really needs you. Since you left, he has been suffering from heart failure and is still in the hospital. He might not be able to make it to the New Year... Therefore, I’m begging you, for his sake...could you come to see him?”

“...”

Jing Xi was shocked, not only by what he said, but also the fact that he was able to say so many words at once.

What shocked her the most was that the little prince was being hospitalized for heart failure.

Oh my! Is the prince suffering from heart disease?

She never knew that the boy had heart disease. No one from the palace had told her.

Now that she knew it, Jing Xi could no longer stay indifferent. No matter how reluctant she was to go back to the palace or to see the man in front of her, she could not help worrying about the little prince.

For some reason, she cared a lot about the boy.

She thought for a while and finally decided. “Fine. I’m coming with you.”

Huo Yunshen was very grateful. “Thank you!” He said.

He sincerely thanked her for being willing to come for the boy.

...

The limo headed to the hospital.

Entering the ward, Jing Xi came to the boy who was lying on the bed.

The little prince was sleeping. He looked thin and his cheeks were pale. There was an electrocardiogram monitor placed by his side.

Jing Xi was only able to believe it upon seeing the boy in the hospital.

He did seem healthy. Who could have known that he had severe heart disease and might barely make it to the New Year?

He was about the same age as little Tieniu. They should be worry-free and having lots of fun. However, they were both sick. It made Jing Xi feel heartbroken.

Jing Xi sat down by his side and held his hand in hers. She watched his little face silently and recalled the days they had spent together.

Was the little prince really so dependant on her?

Was he suffering because of her leaving?

She felt sorry for the boy.

She sat there for a long while until the little prince finally woke up.

He seemed to be suffering and frowned even in his dreams. Before he actually opened his eyes, he mumbled and kicked under the quilt.

“What’s wrong, sweetheart?”
