Chapter 444: Chapter 444: That Apology
Mother Ding thought for a long time before she said,
“Just now your friend said you were pregnant? I was thinking, it hasn’t even been three months since you and Yinuo divorced. If this child is his, our Ding Family will acknowledge it. You don’t have to worry about anything… If there is a child, even if Yinuo doesn’t acknowledge it, I will. I will help you raise the child.”
I instantly widened my eyes.
What is she talking about?
After a moment, I realized she had misunderstood.
I hurried to explain,
“Auntie, I am not pregnant, I have a stomach ailment. I’ve been taking too many painkillers because of my eye pain. This medicine is very harsh on the stomach.”
After hearing this, Mother Ding looked suddenly enlightened, but there was still a trace of slight disappointment in her eyes.
It took her a while before she murmured,
“Oh, I see! That’s good, that’s good… I was just afraid, if not, then let it be.”
“Auntie, it’s just a stomach problem, I will go to the hospital to have it checked in a few days.”
I am very clear in my heart, I have never had marital relations with Ding Yinuo, how could I possibly have a child.
However, although I said that, Mother Ding seemed to still have her suspicions.
After I finished giving the injection to Ding Yinuo, she would always carefully urge me to rest well.
This attentiveness made me feel that she probably still held some hope in her heart.
Today, after I finished giving Yinuo the injection.
I tidied up, ready to leave, when suddenly I heard Ding Yinuo’s voice from behind.
“Ayun!”
That familiar and warm call, how long had it been since I last heard it.
I slowly turned my head, and the man on the sickbed had already opened his eyes.
At this moment, Mother Ding was also extremely excited, she stepped forward and grabbed Ding Yinuo’s hand, crying excitedly,
“Yinuo, Yinuo, have you woken up? You really scared me! My son, you’ve finally come around.”
Perhaps at this moment, I should stay and say something to him.
But unexpectedly, Jiang Jiaying decided to come at this time.
She rushed to Ding Yinuo’s side and hugged him, breaking down in tears,
“Anuo, Anuo, my dear, you’ve finally awakened.”
“In the days you were unconscious, I’ve been terrified, I thought you’d never wake up again. Thank the heavens, you’ve finally woken up.”
“I missed you so much…”
“Mom, quickly bring that pillow over to support him…”
Jiang Jiaying took a pillow and placed it under Ding Yinuo’s waist, helping him to sit up.
Although Ding Yinuo’s condition was obviously not as good as before, at least he was now awake.
Mother Ding brought over a bowl of porridge and fed him half a bowl.
Afterward, Jiang Jiaying called other doctors to come to give Ding Yinuo a full-body examination.
In fact, the doctors had been examining Ding Yinuo these past few days, but Mother Ding had concealed the fact that I was administering the injections.
As usual, today’s examination revealed no issues, just an indication that the treatment was having an effect.
After the doctor left, Jiang Jiaying became very considerate again.
“Yinuo, it’s lucky I didn’t give up on you, otherwise, you wouldn’t have woken up.”
“Right, do you remember what happened at the wedding? It was Shen Yishu who attacked you and caused you to fall and get hurt. I’ve thought it over; we can’t let him go. I must sue him. Make him pay dearly for this.”
I was originally going to leave, but the reason I stayed was to see how Jiang Jiaying and Ding Yinuo were going to handle the matter with Shen Yishu.
These past few days, I got some news from Su Peisheng that Jiang Jiaying had already filed a lawsuit against Shen Yishu at the court.
She was holding Shen Yishu accountable for Ding Yinuo’s serious injury from the fall.
So today, I must handle this matter properly.
I can’t let Shen Yishu get implicated.
At this time, Ding Yinuo’s eyes were looking at me,
“`
“You don’t need to get involved in this matter; I’ll handle it.”
“Ah?”
Jiang Jiaying seemed not to have fully understood what she was saying, so she asked again,
“What are you talking about?”
She felt that Ding Yinuo’s attitude had clearly become somewhat unfriendly, as if he had changed from before.
“Yinuo, don’t you like me helping you with this?”
Ding Yinuo was silent for a while, his face pale, lying on the hospital bed, seemingly trying hard to organize his thoughts. Finally, he pointed to the door,
“You go out first.”
Jiang Jiaying’s face showed a trace of embarrassment, but she didn’t dare to disobey; she just found an excuse for herself,
“Do you want to rest? Then I’ll leave first. I’ll come back later to keep you company.”
Ding Yinuo didn’t speak, just looking at me.
Jiang Jiaying turned to look at me,
“All right, Yinuo needs to rest. All non-essential personnel, please leave.”
I hadn’t even spoken when Ding Yinuo spoke again,
“She stays behind, I have something to discuss with her in private.”
Jiang Jiaying, upon hearing this, finally understood that Ding Yinuo didn’t want to rest, but wanted to send her away.
She couldn’t keep her composure right there.
“Yinuo, I…”
It was Mother Ding who caught on to the nuance, quickly grabbing Jiang Jiaying’s arm and pulling her out,
“Let Yinuo handle his own matters. Xiaoyun is also involved; let the two of them talk.”
Mother Ding forcibly pulled Jiang Jiaying outside and then casually closed the door to the ward.
Now only Ding Yinuo and I were left in the ward.
I still kept a distance from him.
I stood still, not moving, not wanting to get too close to him.
He appeared very weak, covered his mouth with his hand and coughed lightly twice. When he looked at me again, his gaze was no longer as aggressive as before.
“Can you come over a bit?”
He looked at me gently.
“Mr. Ding, just speak up. I can hear you from here anyway. It’s better to keep the distance, so I don’t misunderstand.”
“Are you that afraid of me?”
“Mr. Ding, just say what you have to say!”
“During the time I was unconscious, I heard the conversation between you and my mom. I know it was you who cured me with acupuncture…”
“And then? Are you still going to pursue Shen Yishu’s responsibility?”
“You hope that I won’t pursue it, right?”
“Of course. Otherwise, I would have no reason to stay here and waste words with you.”
“Sigh!”
Ding Yinuo sighed.
“I know the things I did before hurt you, and I want to explain. What I was doing at the time was…”
“There’s no need! Ding Yinuo!”
I cut him off,
“Ding Yinuo, I treated you firstly out of respect for Aunt Ding, and secondly for the sake of Shen Yishu. I didn’t involve any personal feelings for you. You don’t have to feel grateful to me, and moreover… I don’t want to bring up the past anymore, it’s meaningless, you don’t need to explain, I’m not interested in listening.”
“Ayun!”
“If you have nothing else to say, then I’ll be leaving.”
I turned to leave, but he called out to me, “Ayun, I won’t pursue Shen Yishu’s responsibility. It was my own fault!”
I paused briefly, then continued to walk out. Behind me, he continued, “Ayun, I’m sorry!”
