NOVEL NEXT Chapter 875-883
Chapter 875: He Jichen, Let’s Have a Baby (25)
Before Ji Yi could finish, He Jichen turned the steering wheel as he casually said, “I believe you.”
Having not uttered a word, Ji Yi stared into He Jichen’s eyes with a bit of shock.
He sensed her confused gaze. After He Jichen parked the car, he turned his head and smirked at Ji Yi. “I don’t even see Xie Siyao as a person, let alone believe what she said.”
“So Ji Yi, you don’t have to explain it to me. Unless it’s something you said, otherwise, I’ll always believe you.”
He Jichen’s tone of voice was flat and light-hearted, but it shook Ji Yi’s heart fiercely. An indescribable feeling instantly filled her with warmth and moved her.
She wanted to explain that what Xie Siyao said was nonsense, but she never imagined he would reply simply with “I believe you” the moment she called his name.
–
Before Han Zhifan returned to the private room and said goodbye to Ji Yi, he headed right downstairs.
He called the secretary in the private room upstairs. Before he left, he got his jacket and bag, picked up his car keys from the valet and walked into the parking lot.
After hanging up the phone with his secretary, Han Zhifan pressed the button on his car keys. He saw a car light up not too far away, so he hurriedly walked up to it, opened the door and sat inside. Without putting his seatbelt on, he turned the steering wheel, stepped on the gas and sped out of the parking lot.
The car drove some distance away until it reached a red light. Han Zhifan picked up his phone and gave his home phone a call.
The new nanny picked up the call but before she could speak, Han Zhifan heard Cheng Han’s cries.
Han Zhifan furrowed his brows slightly. “What’s the current situation?”
“The young master hasn’t stopped crying. The midwife fed him a little just now with a lot of difficulty. Now, he’s gone and thrown it all up…”
Han Zhifan furrowed his brows even more tightly as the red light turned green. He didn’t waste his breath with the nanny and hung up the call immediately. Then he fastened his seatbelt, stepped on the gas pedal and sped up faster than before.
After he drove into the courtyard, Han Zhifan slammed on the brakes and stopped right at the door. Without even turning off his engine, he pushed the door open and got out of the car.
Before he stepped into the villa, he heard the sound of a child’s cry coming from upstairs.
He hurriedly took his shoes off, bolted upstairs and opened the door to the baby’s room. The housekeeper, the nanny, the midwife, and the doctor surrounded Cheng Han, trying to cheer him up. However, Cheng Han had his eyes shut. He didn’t listen to a word or see a thing; all he wanted to do was cry.
He had probably been crying for a really long time, because his little face had turned purple and his eyes were as swollen as walnuts.
Han Zhifan walked up to him and reached out to stroke Cheng Han’s head. He was seriously burning up. Han Zhifan looked over at the doctor standing to one side.
Before he could ask, the doctor replied, “I can’t get the young master to take his medicine. It’ll be serious if the fever continues, so Mr. Han, should we give him an injection?”
When Cheng Han heard the word “injection,” he cried louder and his little frame started to tremble.
“An injection won’t do! The young master isn’t willing to eat. Today, he threw up everything he ate and no one can cheer him up no matter what we try!”
Chapter 876: He Jichen, Let’s Have a Baby (26)
“Yeah. We forced him to take medicine yesterday, the day before yesterday, and the day before that. The fever subsided in the morning, but when the young master woke up, he wouldn’t eat or drink and cried non-stop. By night, his fever got serious. For this to repeatedly happen every day, the young master’s body won’t be able to take it much longer.”
“But we can’t let the young master go on burning up like this! His brain will fry!”
The nanny, the housekeeper, the midwife, and the doctor discussed the situation over and over again, but they didn’t reach a consensus.
Cheng Han was probably in far too much pain because his throat was hoarse from crying.
The nanny was rather old and soft-hearted. She silently watched Han Zhifan stroking Cheng Han’s head before she hesitated for a moment and quietly said, “Mr. Han, this won’t do. Call the child’s mother to take care of the child for two days…”
When the young master first arrived at the house, he would cry and search for his mother every day. Whenever they all tried to cheer up the young master, they always told him that his mother was busy lately and would come to visit later. In the end, Mr. Han caught wind of this and erupted into a fit of anger. He said the young master didn’t have a mother and whoever mentioned her again could get lost!
Thereafter, nobody in the house dared to mention the young master’s mother. But now, that nanny actually suggested Mr. Han to ask the young master’s mother to come over…
As the nanny’s voice fell, the expressions on everyone’s faces turned tense.
Han Zhifan’s expression instantly became frighteningly cold.
The nanny was afraid, but she still continued to speak. “The child’s mother took care of him since he was born. He must be hurting deep down from not seeing his mother so suddenly. Right now, the child’s not willing to eat or drink and repeatedly has a fever. No one can seem to cheer him up. Can we really stand this much longer?”
To everyone’s surprise, Han Zhifan might have looked somber, but he didn’t get angry.
He stared at Cheng Han for a while as he shivered endlessly from crying in bed. Before the nanny and midwife walked over with concern to hug Cheng Han to try to cheer him up, Han Zhifan pulled out his phone. Then he made a call. “Xiao Zhang? Go to Luming Park right now and bring her back.”
Seeing as Han Zhifan was sorting it out, the nanny let out a sigh of relief. She waited till after Han Zhifan hung up the phone then immediately walked over to the bedside and hugged Cheng Han. “Baby, don’t cry. Your mummy’s coming…”
After hearing the word “mummy,” Cheng Han’s crying quieted down a little and he opened his red, swollen eyes.
Finally, Cheng Han was showing them some kind of reaction. The housekeeper immediately said, “Yeah. Daddy already sent someone to get mummy…”
Cheng Han thought about it for a while then turned his head and looked over at Han Zhifan.
Having met Cheng Han’s sparkling wet eyes, Han Zhifan couldn’t help but nod his head.
Cheng Han’s cries then gradually subsided.
“Baby, if mummy gets here and finds out you haven’t eaten, mummy’s definitely going to be hurt. So how about we eat something, shall we?” cooed the nanny in a soft voice.
Cheng Han was deep in thought for a moment. Although he didn’t say anything, he nodded.
The housekeeper immediately ordered the servants to bring over the baby’s congee.
Han Zhifan stood aside and watched as the four adults groveled at the child for while. That was when he realized he still had his blazer on, so he reached out and undid the buttons.
Half-way through removing his jacket, Han Zhifan’s phone rang. It was Xiao Zhang calling.
Han Zhifan took the call and quickly heard Xiao Zhang’s voice. “Mr. Han, it seems that Miss Cheng isn’t home. I’ve been knocking at her door for ages, but she’s not answering.”
Chapter 877: He Jichen, Let’s Have a Baby (27)
Not at home?
Han Zhifan raised his wrist and checked the time. It was already half past one. It’s so late – why isn’t she at home?
Han Zhifan furrowed his brows and replied, “Just wait there.” Then he hung up, found Cheng Weiwan’s number and gave her a call.
The phone rang for a while but no one picked up.
Just as Han Zhifan lost his patience and was about to lower the phone from his ear and hang up, someone picked up the call. The voice from the other line wasn’t Cheng Weiwan’s but a man’s voice who sounded around thirty years old. “Hello, are you looking for Wanwan?”
Wanwan… why does he sound so close to her?
Han Zhifan didn’t notice that his fingers couldn’t help but subconsciously tighten around his phone.
Han Zhifan didn’t say anything and waited for the gentleman to speak for a while. He said, “Wanwan’s in the restroom right now. Is it something important? I can call her for you now. If not, please wait till after she comes out and I’ll tell her to call back…”
The man hadn’t finished speaking when Han Zhifan lowered the phone from his ears and pressed the button to hang up.
Cheng Han stopped crying and was willing to obediently take his medicine because he thought Cheng Weiwan would be over soon.
He saw that Han Zhifan had hung up the phone, so he raised his head and quietly asked, “When will mummy be here?”
Things would’ve been fine if Cheng Han hadn’t asked, but as soon as he did, Han Zhifan erupted in anger. He ignored Cheng Han and turned to leave the baby’s room.
In the room, Cheng Han started crying again.
The nanny quickly tried to cheer him up. “Baby don’t cry! Baby, be good. Daddy’s going out to pick up mummy…”
Cheng Han’s crying ceased when he heard what the nanny said about Han Zhifan.
Han Zhifan stepped into the study and searched all around for a cigarette. After he lit one up, he took two puffs but didn’t look calmer in the slightest. He started smoking faster and half the pack of cigarettes quickly disappeared before him. He still felt annoyed, so he picked up his car keys and headed downstairs.
As he walked over to the courtyard, Han Zhifan’s phone rang. He quickly picked up his phone and saw Xiao Zhang was calling.
He couldn’t figure out what was wrong, but he felt an unspeakable sense of disappointment. He stared at the phone screen for a long time before taking the call.
“Mr. Han, Miss Cheng hasn’t returned home yet…”
Xiao Zhang must’ve waited a long time for Han Zhifan’s instructions but didn’t get it, so he called.
Han Zhifan knew what Xiao Zhang was going to say, so he flatly replied before he could finish, “You don’t have to wait anymore.”
He hung up and stood in the courtyard for a while. Then he opened the door and got in the car.
He didn’t know where he was going, so he drove around blindly. When he came to his senses, his car was stopped at the gates of Cheng Weiwan’s residential area.
What the hell… Why did he come here?
Han Zhifan thought about it then his feet slowly stepped harder on the gas pedal. Through the window, he saw a car stopped on the opposite side of the road. The car door opened and Cheng Weiwan came out.
Following behind her was a man in white casual wear.
The two of them looked extremely close. They stood by the car and chatted for a while. It wasn’t clear what the man said, but Cheng Weiwan had a smile on her face.
Probably because it was getting late, Cheng Weiwan quickly waved at the man. Before she left, the man called out to her again then opened the trunk of his car and took out a bag from inside. Although Han Zhifan couldn’t see what was inside the bag, he figured it was nutritional supplements.
Cheng Weiwan wasn’t timid about taking them, so she immediately took them from him.
After her silhouette disappeared from the gates, the man then drove off and left.
Han Zhifan’s phone rang the second after the man’s car disappeared.
Han Zhifan continued to stare for a while at the spot where the car dropped Cheng Weiwan off before averting his gaze. He glanced at his phone screen. Despite having not saved the name, he immediately recognized the number. It was Cheng Weiwan calling.
Chapter 878: He Jichen, Let’s Have A Baby (28)
He instinctively reached out and wanted to hang up the phone, but his fingers stopped when his fingers touched the screen.
He looked as though he was contemplating something as he let the phone ring and break the silence in the car. That was when he softly swiped the phone screen and took the call.
He didn’t say anything but heard the vague sound of her opening the door.
Soon enough, the phone fell silent. He figured she must’ve stopped everything she was doing to take the call.
Neither of them said a word.
The silence lasted for two seconds before Cheng Weiwan finally gave in. “You…you called?”
Han Zhifan still didn’t say anything, but her question reminded him of the man who answered the phone earlier. The corners of his lips couldn’t help but tighten.
On the phone, Cheng Weiwan stayed silent for a moment. Then, seeing as Han Zhifan wasn’t saying anything, she added, “Is something the matter?”
“Dialed the wrong number,” replied Han Zhifan quickly. His tone of voice sounded cold and flat as though he had nothing to do with her.
Cheng Weiwan instantly didn’t know what to say to Han Zhifan. She thought about it for a moment then figured she didn’t want to bother saying anything anyway and wanted to hang up just like that. However, the moment she lowered the phone from her ears, Cheng Weiwan thought about Hanhan.
Hanhan left her side only ten days ago. However, it felt like a century had passed.
For the past ten days, she hadn’t been able to sleep each night. She was always alone in the house in a daze. Every now and then, she would cry out, “Hanhan, eat some fruit,” “Hanhan, mummy’s going to take you to take a bath,” or “Hanhan, it’s time for your bedtime story.”
Every time, she was met with a room of silence. Then she sat there in a daze like a fool for a long time before she realized Hanhan wasn’t with her anymore.
The past ten days, she practically ran to his villa every night.
His courtyard was large, so she couldn’t hear anything from inside and didn’t know if Hanhan was doing well or not.
On more than one occasion, she wanted to call him and ask if Hanhan cried from moving to a new house. She wanted to ask if he was sick. He had this old illness in the past when she tried to leave him at a nursery. As soon as she left, he developed a fever and didn’t get better until they returned home.
Cheng Weiwan wrestled with the thought for a long time but she eventually and quietly said it. “Errrmm… How’s Hanhan?”
Things would’ve been better if Cheng Weiwan hadn’t asked about the child. However, as soon as she did, Han Zhifan’s temper flared up. “What’s it to you?!”
Han Zhifan’s merciless words suppressed Cheng Weiwan so hard that she couldn’t say another word. However, he didn’t show any signs of stopping there. He continued with an even more hurtful tone as he said, “Do you still see yourself as his mother? Let me tell you this. He’s going to have a new mother soon. By then, the person he’ll be calling mother will be his true mother!”
“Also, stop calling him Hanhan. He’s going to have a new name soon enough. Don’t worry. I told you I won’t leave a single connection to you at all. I’ll go as far as changing his name!”
Han Zhifan roared in tremendous anger for a long time before the phone fell silent again.
He instinctively wanted to continue speaking, but the thought suddenly slipped his mind. He waited for a while with his phone in hand, but seeing as Cheng Weiwan remained silent as ever, he felt even sadder for some reason. In the end, he lowered the phone from his ear in a fit of rage and violently pressed the button to hang up the call.
Chapter 879: He Jichen, Let’s Have A Baby (29)
He forcefully chucked the phone at the front passenger’s seat. Han Zhifan stared at the gates of Cheng Weiwan’s residential area for a while then withdrew his gaze. He stepped on the gas pedal and sped off.
He promised Hanhan he would bring his mother to see him, but now, he couldn’t. He had no idea how Hanhan was going to react after not being able to see his mother.
Han Zhifan didn’t know if it was because Cheng Weiwan pissed him off or if it was because of Cheng Han’s fever, but he suddenly had an agonizing, painful headache.
He rubbed his temples then reached for his phone and called the house.
The person who picked up was the housekeeper. When they heard what happened with Cheng Weiwan, they immediately reported on the situation. “The young master thought his mother was on her way, so he was very good. He ate some food and took his medicine. After throwing a tantrum all day long, he was already a little tired, but after the medicine kicked in, he fell right asleep. Currently, he’s fast asleep and the fever’s gone.”
After hearing all this, Han Zhifan let out a sigh of relief.
He ordered the housekeeper and the midwife to take turns looking after Cheng Han through the night then hung up.
He drove around the streets of Beijing at night with one hand on the steering wheel for some distance. Then Han Zhifan caught a glimpse through the rearview mirror of a bar on the opposite street.
He was deep in thought and angry for some time before he took the road ahead and made a u-turn. He drove to the entrance of the bar.
Han Zhifan didn’t stay in the bar for long before he got himself drunk.
While he was still conscious, he gave his driver, Xiao Zhang, a call.
By the time Xiao Zhang rushed to the bar, he was already completely drunk.
He wasn’t sure just how he got into the car nor what Xiao Zheng said to him. All he knew was that his mind was filled with the thought of wanting to go to Yongyi Park.
He had an apartment there where they lived together before Cheng Weiwan found out the truth about why he tried to get close to her.
Later, he took Lin Na Home with him to deliberately pretend to get intimate with another woman. After he forced her to leave, he got a package from Cheng Weiwan containing the keys to the apartment. Since then, he hadn’t returned to the apartment.
He didn’t know why he suddenly wanted to go to Yongyi Park, but he vaguely knew why. Xiao Zhang obediently took him there.
Drunken Han Zhifan felt horrible, so he dropped to his bed and fell asleep.
The next morning, he was woken up by his phone.
He opened his eyes to find himself in a vaguely familiar room before he realized where he was.
Although there was no one else staying in the apartment, someone came to clean it every day; the bedsheets were even swapped out. This time, he happened to sleep in a pink set of bed linens. He remembered well that it was the set they picked together while window shopping that one time after dinner.
The phone rang non-stop, waking up Han Zhifan, who had a hangover. He already had a headache, but it got even worse with the ringing.
He rubbed his temples and contemplated for a while. He sat up, picked up his phone, and glanced at it to find that it was a call from his house. “What?” he sluggishly answered.
Just as his voice fell, he heard the hurried voice of the housekeeper. “Mr. Han! The young master’s nowhere to be found!!”
All of a sudden, Han Zhifan was wide awake and shot up in bed. “What?!”
“As soon as the young master woke up, he saw that his mother wasn’t there and started to cry again. The two nannies were in the kitchen cooking dinner, I was out shopping for food, and the midwife was looking after him on her own. However, because people were coming in and out, the door was left wide open. After coming back from heating up his milk, the midwife couldn’t find the young master anywhere.”
Chapter 880: He Jichen, Let’s Have A Baby (30)
Han Zhifan listened with both anger and impatience as he pulled the covers off and got out of bed. He walked over to the bathroom then said with a terrible temper, “What are you calling me for?! Go look for him! I’m telling you now if you guys don’t find him, don’t come back!”
“Yes, Mr. Han…” replied the housekeeper with fear.
Han Zhifan didn’t even bother replying to the housekeeper and hung up. He kicked the bathroom door open, found his toothbrush and toothpaste, then quickly freshened up.
Fortunately, it was still early and the city hadn’t completely started to wake up yet. Han Zhifan drove back home in unusually smooth traffic. After about thirty short minutes, he reached the front door of his villa.
The car hadn’t even come to a complete stop when he pushed the door open, got out and ran in.
The housekeeper sent everyone out to find Hanhan. There was a wall of silence on floor after floor in the bustling villa. Han Zhifan checked each and every room, but after confirming that Hanhan wasn’t around, he pulled out his phone and rushed downstairs.
He just made a call when he heard a phone ringing from the entrance on the first floor.
He darted downstairs and saw the housekeeper staring at her phone as she stepped inside.
The housekeeper must’ve wanted to take the call, but when she heard the sound of footsteps, she glanced up to see Han Zhifan. She immediately hung up and put her phone away. “Mr. Han…”
“Found him yet?” Han Zhifan didn’t wait for the housekeeper to finish and went straight to the point.
The housekeeper shook her head and replied, “No.”
She probably knew Han Zhifan would get mad the moment her voice fell, so she quickly followed with, “But, Mr. Han! Just now, in the security room, I happened to see on the monitor…”
The housekeeper hesitated for a moment.
Han Zhifan became even more impatient. “What did you see?!”
“I saw…” The housekeeper clenched her teeth, shut her eyes, and reported, “…Miss Cheng.”
The housekeeper knew Han Zhifan always got angry whenever he heard anything to do with the biological mother, so after she said those two words, she instinctively took a step back. After putting some distance between them, she gave him a more detailed report of what happened. “She would come every night and stand by the door for a long time…”
“…In the evening, Miss Cheng came again. However, she came over a little later than usual… I took note of the time. It was around four in the morning, which was about two and a half hours ago. The young master woke up at five something in the morning… There are cameras everywhere around the villa, but they didn’t catch him, so we couldn’t see what happened. I’m not particularly sure if the young master left with Miss Cheng… However, the young master never usually runs out the door. Even if he went out on his own, he never went past the courtyard. We searched the entire courtyard, but we couldn’t find the young master. I think- I think… it has- it has- something to do with Miss Cheng…”
The more the housekeeper said, the worse Han Zhifan looked. She was so afraid that her voice got even quieter.
In the end, she didn’t even dare to breathe let alone look at Han Zhifan.
After she finished speaking, the room became unusually quiet. About a couple seconds later, they heard the sound of footsteps.
The housekeeper lifted her eyelids. Before she could see the expression on Han Zhifan’s face, the man already stomped out in a rage.
Chapter 881: He Jichen, Let’s Have A Baby (31)
After Cheng Weiwan returned home, she changed into her slippers and was about to head into the dining room for a glass of hot water when all of a sudden, she heard a slamming at the door.
*Knock knock knock*
Cheng Weiwan furrowed her brows slightly. Noticing that the knocking hadn’t stopped, she headed back to the front door and wearily unlocked it.
Before she could pull the door open, the person outside forcefully pushed it open.
She was standing behind the door, so if she didn’t have such fast reflexes and took a step back just in time, the door would’ve slammed right into her face.
She barely steadied herself and was about to raise her head to see who it was. That was when the person stepped into the house. “Where did you take the child?”
After Cheng Weiwan heard Han Zhifan’s voice, she was stunned to see him when she raised her gaze.
The man looked unusually dull as though he was going to eat her in one gulp.
Cheng Weiwan had seen Han Zhifan’s angry face, but he never looked as frightening as this. She was so afraid that she hid to the side and didn’t reply. He pushed her with one shove, stepped into the apartment, and started searching all over.
He even checked the bathroom cabinet but he couldn’t find Cheng Han. That was when he headed back to Cheng Weiwan in a fit of rage. “Just where did you hide the child?!”
After Cheng Weiwan heard what Han Zhifan said for the second time, she finally understood what he meant.
He came here to get the child… which means… Hanhan is missing?
When that guess crossed Cheng Weiwan’s mind, she immediately and anxiously cried, “What do you mean by this? You can’t find Hanhan? How did you lose him? He’s only a year old! He can’t even walk steadily! Why haven’t you immediately sent someone to look for him?!”
The more she spoke, the more anxious Cheng Weiwan grew. In the end, she didn’t even want to say anything to Han Zhifan. She turned right around, ready to head out the door and look for Hanhan.
However, she took just one step when Han Zhifan grabbed her wrist and forcefully pulled her back. Thereafter, she was fiercely pushed into the wall beside her.
She felt the heart-searing pain on her back as Han Zhifan clutched her chin and raised it. “Quit acting! Don’t think I have no idea you haven’t been lingering at my villa every day for the past few nights!”
“I suggest you better not play any tricks with me. Honestly, hand over Cheng Han to me!”
Han Zhifan’s gripped Cheng Weiwan’s chin hard, hurting her so much that she discreetly gritted her teeth. After a while, she forcefully cried, “You’re the one who lost my child. You’re the one who lost my child… let go of me. I want to go find Hanhan…”
With that, Cheng Weiwan tried her hardest to struggle out of his grip.
Han Zhifan wasn’t ready for her abrupt force, so she managed to escape. However, soon enough, Han Zhifan found Cheng Weiwan again and tightly pushed her against the wall.
Cheng Weiwan, who was worried about Hanhan, struggled to get out. Her eyes were red. Under pressure, she opened her mouth and bit Han Zhifan’s wrist.
She bit down unusually hard as though she used all the force in her body. Han Zhifan gasped in pain then immediately pulled out his other hand to clutch Cheng Weiwan’s neck and pushed her head into the wall. “We’re here already, so quit acting! Believe it or not, if you don’t hand over Hanhan, I’ll not only make Ling Muqing suffer a life worse than death, but I’ll even take you down with her!”
Chapter 882: He Jichen, Let’s Have A Baby (32)
Han Zhifan was a man, after all, and he was angry at that very moment, so he used more force than usual. Cheng Weiwan used the strength in her entire body but wasn’t able to budge him in the slightest.
She was already worried about Hanhan and urgently wanted to look for the child, but now that Han Zhifan was preventing her from talking, her rage suddenly reached its peak. No matter how she fought back, Han Zhifan had her pinned down. She saw that Han Zhifan’s face had contorted in anger, so she suddenly stopped struggling.
In her eyes, the light turned a little cold. “You might as well kill me!”
She spoke very softly, but it made the rageful Han Zhifan suddenly calm down.
His brows furrowed then he met Cheng Weiwan’s gaze.
From his memory, she was always the warm and calm type of woman who never got angry. In that very moment, a different person was staring back at him. She was cold and icy and let off a merciless and ruthless aura.
“If I really can’t find Hanhan, you might as well kill me. I don’t want to live any longer!”
Her tone of voice was calm and completely serious. Han Zhifan’s hand wrapped around Cheng Weiwan’s neck suddenly trembled for a moment, almost loosening his grip.
Cheng Weiwan was deep in thought and didn’t notice Han Zhifan’s reaction. She stared right into his eyes. She became a lot colder, but in her eyes, a layer of fog started to surface. “If Hanhan is really gone, then I really can’t live anymore…”
This time, she sounded just as broken, but in the end, it intensified into a sadness which emitted from her body. As her voice fell, a single tear rolled from the corners of her eye and crashed hard onto the back of his hand.
Han Zhifan’s heart felt something akin to a sharp object violently stabbing him. He suddenly felt a dull pain.
The searing pain made him put on a threatening expression. Compared to how painful it was to rush Lili to the hospital, seeing her in a pool of blood on the operating table, this… felt far more painful.
At that moment, Han Zhifan forgot about his anger and loosened his grip on Cheng Weiwan’s neck. It seemed like he was petrified as he stood completely still in his tracks. He stared at Cheng Weiwan for a long, long time without moving an inch.
The picture of them froze like that with neither of them uttering a word.
After who knew how long, the phone rang throughout the room.
That was what brought Han Zhifan back to his senses. He blinked for a short while and realized that it was his phone ringing. He let go of Cheng Weiwan’s neck and pulled out his phone. Glancing at the screen, he saw that it was a call from home, so he hurriedly took the call.
It was the housekeeper calling. “Mr. Han, we’ve found the young master,” she said with a considerably calmer voice than before.
“The young master fainted behind a flower bush in the garden. Everyone walked back and forth so many times but didn’t see him. Eventually, the wet nurse found him.”
After reporting the good news, the housekeeper’s voice sounded distressed. “But the young master’s condition is dire. His fever is alarmingly high. After the wet nurse found him, she called the ambulance immediately. The doctor said the young master’s heartbeat was weak. I’m afraid the situation is pretty serious.”
Chapter 883: He Jichen, Let’s Have A Baby (33)
Han Zhifan stood in front of Cheng Weiwan. Nobody in the room spoke a word. The housekeeper’s voice was rather loud, so Cheng Weiwan clearly heard what she said.
His heart rate was a little weak… The situation is pretty serious… As those words bore into Cheng Weiwan’s ears, she snatched the phone from Han Zhifan’s hand with no hesitation at all. “Which hospital is Hanhan staying in?”
After she finished asking, she didn’t manage to get a reply from the housekeeper because Han Zhifan snatched the phone back.
Ignoring the impatient Cheng Weiwan, he took a step back and put the phone to his ear. “Which hospital?” he asked.
“The Children’s Hospital.”
After hearing the housekeeper’s answer, Han Zhifan immediately hung up. Without even bothering with Cheng Weiwan, he headed for the door.
Before he could take two steps, Cheng Weiwan tightly grabbed his arm. “Which hospital is Hanhan at?”
Han Zhifan’s footsteps came to a halt. He furrowed his brows and turned his head to look over at Cheng Weiwan.
The woman looked pale white in the face and her lips were trembling fiercely. There was fear and panic in her big, pitch-black eyes.
He wanted to cast her off his arm, but that thought was instantly killed off.
“Which hospital is Hanhan at? His situation is pretty bad, isn’t it? What the hell is going on? Why’s he so sick?” The more Cheng Weiwan asked, the more panicked she became. In the end, her voice started to tremble. “You’re going to the hospital, aren’t you? Could you take me with you? Let me see Hanhan…”
With that, Cheng Weiwan’s other hand also grabbed Han Zhifan. It seemed like she was afraid he wouldn’t agree, so she continued to plead. “…I’m begging you. Let me see Hanhan-see Hanhan, please? Please?”
From the moment he learned her father was Cheng Weiguo, Han Zhifan endlessly told himself that no matter what happened, he would never get soft-hearted on her.
So after she incidentally discovered the truth, he didn’t hesitate in the slightest in leaving her. After he found out she was pregnant, he decided to abandon her child without another thought. After he found out she actually stayed outside his apartment every night even after they broke up, he still took the harsh and merciless route. He took a woman back home with him and got intimate with her in front of the window for Cheng Weiwan to see.
He forced her out of his world, just as he wished. He thought he was free, but he never imagined she actually kept the world in the dark about giving birth. After he found out the truth, he also didn’t change his initial position from when he tried to get close to her. Without mercy, he chose to steal the child and leave her!
He had to admit he wanted to hurt her because Cheng Weiguo was her father. However, there was another reason – he blamed her completely for ending their story and ruining their chances of starting afresh.
He clearly wanted to exact revenge for Lili and make Cheng Weiguo feel the pain of losing a relative. His and Cheng Weiwan’s story wasn’t over – he could continue to make her suffer. This was obviously what he wanted! He just couldn’t figure out what happened, because everything he wanted was happening before his eyes, but lately, why didn’t he get any thrill from this? Instead, he was even more annoyed.
It wasn’t until that very moment when he saw how she begged him helplessly to take her to see their son that he realized why…
