How could he know, the root of Le Tong’s illness wasn’t because the interdiary was harsh to her, but because she was eager to go ho to take care of her mother, who she hadn’t seen for months, right after the baby was born.
A nineteen-year-old girl, going to school, working, and caring for a patient—Even a person made of iron would collapse, let alone her, a young mother who should have been resting well after childbirth?
...
Doctor Dong perford a detailed examination on the still-sleeping Le Tong, and after leaving a statent that left Ji Rui speechless, he flicked his sleeves and turned to leave the ward.
By this ti, it was already after ten in the morning. Le Tong had been asleep for more than ten hours.
Ji Rui stood silently in front of the bed, watching Le Tong’s pale and haggard face. His phone beeped twice, indicating new emails.
He opened the email, which was an investigation report on Le Tong sent by Mr. Huang.
Ji Rui always thought he knew everything about Le Tong’s education and other aspects, but when he opened the file and saw Le Tong’s experiences starting at age eighteen, when her mother developed a terminal illness, he realized he really didn’t know Le Tong at all.
Not to ntion understanding her complex yet resilient inner world; he was completely unaware of even her basic growth journey.
After seeing her experiences, he realized that his long-held views of her were extrely misguided!!
It turned out that the 500,000 yuan back then was used to save her mother’s life.
And judging by the expenses after her mother’s surgery, the 500,000 was nowhere near enough to cover the costs of her recovery and rehabilitation in the following years. So she basically took two to three tutoring jobs every day, holding on from nineteen until her mother passed away.
Therefore, was the idea of her being a vain woman completely unfounded?
Her stinginess wasn’t because she loved money, but because she had suffered a lot financially before?!
And judging by the ti she went to the hospital for the DNA test, she truly didn’t know that the baby was her son before leaving R City.
So in fact, had he wronged her?
After confirming that the baby was her son, she didn’t seem to have done anything out of the ordinary, only regularly returning to accompany the baby and never saying anything strange to him.
So his suspicions that she returned to take the baby away, or wanted to use the baby to extort him, were rely his baseless slanders?
Ji Rui turned over the data, feeling more ashad than he had ever been before!
According to her experiences, she was a very unfortunate person, yet she never complained to anyone about life’s injustices. She even seed like a very joyful person to Ji Rui.
Perhaps, because she was easily satisfied? And so, her joy ca to her more easily?
Yet he, with his arrogance and stubbornness, personally shattered her hard-earned joy again and again and again.
No wonder she hated him so much!
Hated to the point where she was willing to abandon everything just to escape from him.
But despite her hatred for him, she returned for the baby’s sake.
She even put aside their past grievances to accompany him in facing the challenge of the baby’s illness together.
She must truly love the baby very much. That’s why she risked being misunderstood, being despised, and without any regard, left her nascent career in D Province behind to accompany the baby without expecting any reward.
Yet, he was adamant on interpreting her motherly love as a ploy to get close to him, even seeing the baby as a tool for extortion.
After thoroughly reviewing the data sent by Mr. Huang, Ji Rui rubbed his forehead, unsure how he would face the waking Le Tong.
Closing the computer, Ji Rui walked to the bedside, staring at Le Tong’s pale face for a while. Seeing no sign of her waking, he turned and walked out to check on the baby in the isolation ward.
Halfway there, a nurse hurriedly approached him.
"Mr. Ji, the baby has woken up and is asking to see Miss Le."
"I’ll go with you to take a look." Ji Rui quickly followed the nurse to the isolation ward. With special permission from the director, Ji Rui changed into sterilized clothes before entering the ward with the nurse.
"Daddy, where’s Mommy?"
As soon as Ji Baby saw him, he propped himself up to sit. Ji Rui and Doctor Dong simultaneously reached out to press him back to the bed.
"Baby, Mommy is asleep just like you. When she wakes up, she’ll definitely co to see you imdiately."
Ji Rui gently stroked the baby’s hair with his gloved hand.
The baby was in good spirits, but having been ill for such a ti, his body seed hollowed out. Though he wanted to get up and find Le Tong right away, his body was weak and powerless. Just a little movent and a few words left him slightly out of breath.
"Really?" The baby asked, half-believing.
Ji Rui calmly turned and asked the nurse standing by, "Miss Liu, could you please take a few photos of Miss Le sleeping in the ward and bring them here?"
Shortly after, the nurse handed the photos of the sleeping Le Tong to the baby, who finally relaxed, looked at Ji Rui a few more tis, and slowly closed his eyes again.
"Doctor Dong, why does he seem so tired?"
Outside the isolation ward, Ji Rui asked Doctor Dong with concern.
"He’s still in the adaptation period; much of his energy is being used to adjust to the new bone marrow, so he’s especially prone to fatigue. He’ll be better in a few days."
Even as Doctor Dong said so, Ji Rui remained worried.
"Is his current condition optimistic?"
This aspect was completely foreign to Ji Rui.
"Yes, his condition is one of the best I’ve ever seen. Le Tong deserves much credit for this. After falling ill, the baby received exceptional physical and psychological care. He almost never showed resistance or negativity. For a child over five to possess such strength and resilience, even as an adult, I feel inferior."
Ji Rui stayed silent, but in his heart, he deeply agreed.
If the baby were even a bit less resilient, or if Le Tong had constantly worn a sad face and cried often, the baby’s condition would have been N tis worse than it currently was.
Mood really determines everything. This was the conclusion Ji Rui reached after reading Le Tong’s records.
After talking with Doctor Dong, Ji Rui watched the baby a while longer from outside the isolation room before slowly wandering back to the ward.
As soon as he pushed open the door, he saw Le Tong trying hard to sit up, propping herself with her hand.
"Awake? Lie down nicely, don’t move!" Ji Rui quickly trotted over, trying to press her back onto the bed.
Yet his outstretched hand was firmly slapped away by her as her hand rose to stop it.
