The phone rang suddenly at this mont, startling Bai Haoxue, who was completely imrsed in her own emotions.
She wiped away her tears and answered the call, "Hello..."
"Haoxue, why haven’t you co down yet?"
"I’m coming down right away..."
After hanging up, Bai Haoxue looked at the child’s ultrasound, color ultrasound, and couldn’t help but place her hand on it.
This was her child.
She used to clearly feel him (or her) in her belly.
Each fetal movent was as if he (or she) was greeting her.
During her pregnancy, she would talk to him (or her) every day, touching her belly and talking to herself.
But...
But, in the end, she still lost him!
Bai Haoxue wiped away her tears and placed those docunts and photos back into the folder.
Ji Hanyu must have already seen them!
She had heard Lin Zhan ntion sothing about an urgent delivery during a previous phone call.
Ji Hanyu knew about the child before he went to Yiqing County.
Then why... why didn’t he question her?
Bai Haoxue carefully recalled her recent calls with Ji Hanyu. No matter the content or tone, they were exactly the sa as usual.
Ji Hanyu showed no sign of questioning her, nor any anger, rage, or even hatred.
At this mont, Bai Haoxue felt an inexplicable panic and fear.
She feared that Ji Hanyu would abandon her because of this.
Even after knowing about the child and seeing everything in the folder, Ji Hanyu remained so calm?
This was too unusual.
Was he planning to abandon her, to leave her behind?
Did he choose this ti to go to Yiqing County to avoid her?
Ji Hanyu, why don’t you ask ?
At least... at least give a chance to explain!
Bai Haoxue quickly dialed Ji Hanyu’s number again, knowing full well it wouldn’t connect, yet she persistently called over and over.
"Sorry, the number you have dialed is switched off."
"..."
In a daze, she reached downstairs, her phone still echoing with the chanical female voice.
Seeing Bai Haoxue co down, Xi Wei hurried over. He wanted to tell her to hurry, but seeing her state, the words stuck in his throat.
"Haoxue... what’s wrong?" Xi Wei asked concernedly.
"Nothing." Bai Haoxue handed the seal and car keys to Xi Wei. "You drive to the school to give Yiyi the seal; I’ll take a cab to the airport to collect the ticket and wait for you."
"Are you really alright?" Xi Wei took the seal and asked, still worried.
"I’m really fine." Bai Haoxue smiled faintly, "I just haven’t been to Ji Hanyu’s office for a long ti. It was a bit emotional being there."
"Alright then, since you’re like this, I’m also not comfortable with you driving. Be careful."
Xi Wei accepted the seal and car keys.
...
Bai Haoxue took a cab to the airport, her mind still in a haze, utterly chaotic with thoughts.
The folder had stirred her longing and guilt for the child.
And Ji Hanyu’s uncharacteristic behavior left her feeling panicked and confused.
She sat on a chair in the airport hall, forcing herself to calm down.
The sudden ringing of her phone interrupted her thoughts, and seeing the caller ID as an unfamiliar number,
Bai Haoxue reflexively assud it was Ji Hanyu calling her from soone else’s phone.
"Ji Hanyu..." The words slipped out the mont she answered the phone...
