Never Separated Again

What?

Fu Hanjiang was stunned. How could such a little girl ask such a question?

Looking at Junjun's small hospital gown, he realized... she was a patient here. He didn't know what illness she had.

Explaining the meaning of 'death' to such a small child was too cruel.

Fu Hanjiang thought for a moment and said, "Well... it means going to a very, very far place."

"Going to a far place?"

Junjun furrowed her little brows, seriously thinking. "Does that mean I won't be able to see my mom anymore?"

"..." Fu Hanjiang paused, "Yes."

He thought, this little one must really love her mom. She always talked about her mom but never mentioned her dad.

"Oh."

Hearing this, Junjun pouted sadly, "Thank you, Uncle. I understand now."

"Junjun!"

Suddenly, the same nurse from last time rushed over, "Junjun!"

Junjun quickly waved her little hand, "The nurse auntie is here to get me. I'm leaving, Uncle. Bye-bye!"

"Bye-bye..."

Before he could finish, the little girl had already run off.

Fu Hanjiang squatted there, watching her being picked up by the nurse and hurried away.

For some reason, he suddenly felt very down.

Maybe it was because... he couldn't bear to see this little one, whom he had only met twice, 'go to a far place'?

...

"Junjun!"

At the hospital entrance, Sheng Xiangsi was almost frantic with worry!

Seeing the nurse carrying Junjun back, she rushed forward in a few steps.

"Mom..."

"Where did you go?"

Sheng Xiangsi grabbed Junjun and gave her two spanks on her little bottom! For her, this was a heavy punishment!

"Didn't mommy tell you to listen? Why didn't you listen? Why did you run around when it was time to sleep?"

"Waahhh..."

Junjun burst into tears, feeling wronged.

When Junjun cried, how could Sheng Xiangsi bear it? Hitting her daughter hurt her own heart more!

Especially at such a time tonight!

With tear-filled eyes, Junjun saw her mom crying too, crying so sadly.

"Mom!"

Junjun shakily raised her chubby little hand, reached up to her mom's face, and clumsily wiped her tears.

"Mom, don't cry. Junjun was wrong."

"Tell me..." Sheng Xiangsi, unmoved, said, "Why didn't you listen?"

"Because..."

Junjun choked, "Junjun heard someone say Junjun was going to die. Junjun wanted to know what 'die' means."

"!!"

Instantly, Sheng Xiangsi froze, her whole body stiff, her blood seemingly frozen.

Beside her, the nurse was very embarrassed.

"Junjun's mom, I suppose Junjun overheard someone talking… I'll definitely find out who said it."

"Mom."

Junjun, with tearful eyes, sobbed, "Don't cry, don't be afraid… Junjun won't leave you, won't go to a far, far place and leave mommy alone."

What?

Sheng Xiangsi was stunned, not understanding what this meant.

"Just now, an uncle told me that 'dying' means going to a very far place."

Junjun threw herself into her mom's arms, "Mom, Junjun is very brave, not afraid to go to a far place. But Junjun can't bear to leave mommy, and mommy can't bear to leave Junjun… Junjun doesn't want to go anywhere! I want to stay with mommy! Waahhh..."

The little one cried loudly, and Sheng Xiangsi's heart was a mess, wet with tears.

This was her little darling, who understood nothing but knew she couldn't bear to leave her mom!

"Junjun!"

Sheng Xiangsi gently and lovingly hugged Junjun, "Baby, don't cry. Don't worry, baby won't go anywhere. This time, mommy will take you back to Jiangcheng, and mommy and Junjun will never be separated again."

"Really?"

Junjun immediately stopped crying, her big grape-like eyes sparkling as she looked at her mom.

"Really, mommy?"

"Yes, really."

Sheng Xiangsi, with red eyes, wiped away her daughter's tears.

She had previously left her daughter in Feicheng mainly to wait for surgery.

Since that hope was gone, she had no reason to leave her daughter here anymore.

"Wow!"

Junjun broke into a smile, jumping up with joy.

"Junjun will go home with mommy! Being with mommy is great!"

Children don't know sorrow; where their mom is, that's their home, that's where they feel safe!

"Good baby."

Sheng Xiangsi picked up Junjun and pinched her cheek, "Cried so much, you look like a little cat. Time to wash up and go to bed."

"Okay!"

...

Fu Hanjiang returned to his ward, holding his phone, debating whether to call Xiangsi or go to her hotel to check on her.

His phone rang.

It was Zhou Jinting.

"Hello? What's up?"

"Hanjiang." Qin Yanzhi's tone sounded anxious, "You're in Feicheng, right? I need a favor… Zhong Pei had an accident. I can't get there right now. Can you help take care of it?"

Zhong Pei? An accident?

How could that be?

Wasn't he with Liao Qingru?

Fu Hanjiang's heart sank, "What happened?"

"A car accident!"

Qin Yanzhi, not being there, couldn't give details. "My aunt was crying a lot on the phone and didn't explain clearly. I'm afraid she can't handle it!"

"Okay."

A brother in need, Fu Hanjiang wouldn't refuse.

"Leave it to me, don't worry. I'll go right away!"

"Thanks."

After hanging up, Fu Hanjiang immediately headed to the emergency department.

When he arrived, Zhong Pei had already been taken to the emergency room.

The doctor was talking to Liao Qingru, "This is the surgery consent form..."

"Mrs. Zhong." Fu Hanjiang quickly approached.

"Mr. Fu!" Liao Qingru, already beside herself, grabbed Fu Hanjiang's arm, "You're here just in time! Zhong Pei, my Zhong Pei..."

"Mrs. Zhong, don't worry. I'll handle it..."

"Okay, good!"

After completing the paperwork, Zhong Pei was immediately taken to surgery.

Fu Hanjiang looked at the anxious Liao Qingru on the bench and thought of Xiangsi… Should he tell her?

A car accident, surgery...

Zhong Pei had been stressed because of them, leading to this accident. If he didn't make it… Shouldn't Xiangsi come to see him?

But should he really do that?

What if Zhong Pei woke up? Could he still keep them apart?

After some struggle, Fu Hanjiang picked up his phone and called Sheng Xiangsi.

"Hello."

It rang for a while before she answered.

Sheng Xiangsi didn't want to answer, but was afraid he'd keep calling. "What's the matter?"

"Xiangsi."

Fu Hanjiang steeled himself and said, "Zhong Pei had a car accident and is in surgery. Do you… want to come?"

"!"

Zhong Pei, Zhong Pei...

Sheng Xiangsi, holding her phone in panic, forgot to hang up. She had to go, how could she not?

Meanwhile, Fu Hanjiang held his phone, smiling bitterly.

So worried? She even forgot to hang up...
