In fact, the global media had extensively reported on this incident. Gong Xue’er was previously a globally wanted fugitive. Star Lake Island had forever sunk to the bottom of the sea in the explosion. Later, Xia Yangyang saw that scene on the media as well. After the explosion, the sea in that area returned to calm. The seawater also regained its azure blue hue. But it was as if the island had vanished into thin air. Everything was buried beneath a patch of blue. Everything returned to calm, as if nothing had ever happened. But those frightening memories clearly existed in her mind, lingering. Day and night, they entangled her like a nightmare. Xia Yangyang quickly arrived at the hospital. In the ward, she saw little Xingxing. Apart from two caregivers, there was only Xia Ye in the room. Xia Ye sat by the bed, quietly watching little Xingxing. Xia Yangyang looked at Xia Ye’s small back and suddenly felt very sad. Xia Yangyang slowly walked in. Upon hearing footsteps, Xia Ye turned around and saw Xia Yangyang. Xia Ye called out, "Mom." Xia Yangyang walked to the bedside and gently touched Xia Ye’s hair. Then her gaze turned to little Xingxing on the bed. Little Xingxing lay there quietly. Her cheeks were flushed, resembling ripe apples. Little Xingxing seemed restless in her sleep. Her eyelashes occasionally fluttered. Her lips were chapped, and her once chubby cheeks had grown noticeably thinner. Xia Yangyang reached out to touch little Xingxing’s cheek. It was scorching hot. Little Xingxing was running a high fever. Xia Yangyang felt even more remorseful. No matter how much she couldn’t accept this fact, Lu Haotian had left forever. But the only request Lu Haotian made before leaving was for her to take good care of little Xingxing. But what was she doing these days? She kept avoiding, falling into despair, not caring about the two children at all. She shifted everything onto Gu Qichen, yet still tormented him emotionally. Xia Yangyang felt she had to pull herself together. Xia Yangyang stayed in the ward the entire day, until the evening. Gu Qichen brought a food box over. Gu Qichen approached Xia Yangyang: "Have some food first." Xia Yangyang went to the small table area. Gu Qichen laid out the items from the food box one by one. With just one bite, Xia Yangyang knew it was made by Gu Qichen himself. Xia Yangyang looked up at Gu Qichen. She only saw his eyes filled with bloodshot lines. Gu Qichen also seemed to have lost weight. But he still appeared calm and steady, like a mountain, bringing people peace of mind. ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by novel-fire.net Xia Yangyang ate, and tears fell again. Gu Qichen quickly grabbed tissues. His voice was filled with concern and gentleness: "What’s wrong, Yangyang? Little Xingxing will be okay, her condition is stable now." But Xia Yangyang suddenly spoke: "I’m sorry, really sorry for these past few days." Xia Yangyang truly realized it in an epiphany. Over these days, Gu Qichen had handled everything by himself. She had been collapsing, causing a scene, even accusing. But Gu Qichen silently took everything upon himself. Xia Yangyang put down the chopsticks, sat beside Gu Qichen, and buried her face in his chest: "It’s my fault, all my fault, I’m sorry, Ah Chen, I’m sorry." Gu Qichen also held Xia Yangyang tightly in his arms: "Yangyang, let the past be the past, okay? We all have to look forward. He’s gone, but you need to live well."
