Chapter 1364: Chapter 1364: Pinnacle of Despair 13
Liang Tao kept comforting He Hongi. It took a lot of effort to calm her emotions before he thought about buying tickets. No matter whether they should tell He Zhongguo or not, with such a major incident happening to the child in the capital, he and He Hongi, as the uncle and aunt, needed to visit in person to see if Zhilan was okay and advise her not to go down a dead-end path.
He Father and He Da were still staying in the hospital because He Father’s injuries required daily dressing changes, and their house had just been dismantled after the fire, leaving them with nowhere to stay. So, father and son decided to stay temporarily in the hospital anyway since they needed to be there daily for treatnt. It saved them the trouble of commuting back and forth to the hospital twice a day after being discharged.
He Hongi and Liang Tao waited until evening, making sure He Hongi’s eyes no longer showed traces of crying before they went to the hospital. He Father and He Da’s wards were together. Liang Tao stayed in the ward to talk with He Father, while He Hongi found an excuse to call He Da out of the ward.
He Da was clever and didn’t ask much before following He Hongi out. He knew He Hongi had sothing to discuss with him, so once they were outside, he directly asked her and learned about the many events that had recently occurred in the capital. He was so taken aback that he almost couldn’t stand.
“Do you think we should tell your dad? Can your dad handle it now if he finds out?” He Hongi asked worriedly.
“First, we’ll tell dad that the child was premature and didn’t survive, and that Zhilan is heartbroken. Eldest brother has asked us to go to the capital to accompany Zhilan. The rest, we’ll explain when we get to the capital. Zhilan needs us with her to get through this,” He Da reproached, “It’s all my fault. If it weren’t for losing a leg and being in poor health, I could have, like dad, jumped out the window as soon as I discovered the fire. If I hadn’t lost this leg, dad wouldn’t have needed to save . The house wouldn’t have burned down, and neither of us would have been hurt. If we hadn’t been hurt, Zhilan wouldn’t have been scared into a premature birth. If there hadn’t been a premature birth, the child wouldn’t have been stolen, and all these pitiful things wouldn’t have happened later.”
He Da truly blad himself. Once again, he deeply felt that he was just a burden to the He Family.
When He Zhilan was in C Province back then, she suffered severe injuries to save him, yet she held onto him tightly without letting go. She finally managed to bring him back ho, but he beca a burden to this family, dragging them down ti and again.
If he hadn’t returned to this ho, when the house caught fire, his father would have only needed to escape by himself. He wouldn’t have been injured, and Zhilan wouldn’t have been frightened, which ans there wouldn’t have been a premature birth.
“Ada, this is not your fault. The bla lies with the one who set the fire,” He Hongi patted He Da’s hand empathetically. “This family would suffer the regret of loss without anyone. Zhilan risked her life to bring you back ho; you are not a burden to this family. In life, there are so many unforeseen events that cannot be predicted. This isn’t your fault; it was bad people who hard Zhilan. Don’t take responsibility for their wrongdoings upon yourself.”
“Aunt, please don’t comfort ,” He Da forced a bitter smile, “In my condition, my father is worried every day about finding a wife and concerns over my future life. What else could I be but a burden? My father is already so old, yet he still worries about .”
“You’re so stubborn,” He Hongi shook her head. “Don’t overthink things on your own. Later, your uncle and I will book tickets for tomorrow morning’s train and plane. We’ll take the plane and get there as soon as possible.”
