Chapter 563 – Why Didn’t You Tell Me
Xian Guiying just closed her eyes and took a deep breath before getting into Wei Zhengsheng's car. As he circled the car and sat in the driver's seat, Xian Guiying turned her head and looked at him apologetically, "Brother Wei, sorry to bother you so early in the morning."
Wei Zhengsheng didn't look at her, just stared straight ahead as he drove out of the front yard of the mansion. While operating the steering wheel, he said, "When I heard from you that you sprained your feet yesterday, I decided to come to see you after having breakfast with my parents in the morning. It doesn't matter if Qin Gengxin returned just in time or if I came just in time, the important thing is the child's treatment."
Xian Guiying nodded. She raised her eyes to look at the passing scene and said softly, "Now, as long as my Qianqian can stay fit and healthy, don't get sick easily. As long as she can live past the age of six and at most survive the difficult years, I can accept the cruelty. As long as the child is safe and healthy…"
Wei Zhengsheng didn't say anything. At the moment, Boston streets were not busy, there were no signs of traffic jams. Seeing that there weren't many cars in front of him, he turned his head to look at her while holding the steering wheel. "There's something you want to say."
Xian Guiying smiled but did not reply. She just looked at the scenery outside the car. She turned her eyes away from the window and looked at the green scenery on the other side of the road.
Wei Zhengsheng was silent for a moment. Even though he knew she didn't want to talk at the moment, he still asked, "Is it because of him?"
Xian Guiying closed her eyes and leaned against the window, looking at the view. She whispered, "I don't know, I just feel tired. All those years in the past, I didn't have any requirements at all. All I wanted was to be by the side of someone I like."
"It's not even your twenty-ninth birthday yet, why are you thinking like this." Wei Zhengsheng smiled helplessly at her, then held her hand. After holding it for a moment, he pulled his hand away and continued to hold the steering wheel.
"Guiying, there's always a path in front of you. You've never been a flower in a greenhouse, but you always have your own strength after being irrigated by the rain and the wind. Bring out your true self, and don't be so disheartened, hmm?"
Xian Guiying pursed her lips and looked at him with her eyes, silently thanking him.
By the time they arrived at the children's hospital, Qin Wenqian had been taken to the intensive care unit.
Qin Gengxin was currently talking with two specialists in the hospital corridor. Knowing that Qin Gengxin was here, Wei Zhengsheng didn't help Xian Guiying get out of the car. Instead, he let Dalisay and Darna help her.
When the elevator door opened, Xian Guiying saw Qin Gengxin standing outside the elevator, talking to an expert. Seeing his serious and firm expression, she paused for a moment before exiting, supported by Dalisay and Darna.
"How is my daughter? She's having a high fever this morning. She was fine last night, is she alright? It didn't get any worse, did it?" Xian Guiying turned her gaze away from Qin Gengxin, who had already turned his head to look at her.
Xian Guiying was asking the Child Hospital's expert that she also knew.
"Fortunately, she was brought here in time, just like the last time. Due to her body's resistance and the recent weather, the child's mood might fluctuate a little, but from what I can see, her eyes are swollen. She must have cried last night, and due to a variety of reasons, her fever only broke out when she went to bed." As Dr. Ella spoke, she turned her head to look at Wei Zhengsheng and nodded at him with a smile.
After that, Dr. Ella suddenly said, "I really didn't expect that this child was Mr. Qin's daughter. When I saw him bringing this child to the hospital, I was shocked."
Qin Gengxin's gaze fell on the pajamas that Xian Guiying had yet to replace. After looking at her for a while, he asked, "When you were pregnant, you should have known that your child was going to face a situation like this. Why didn't you tell me?"
Xian Guiying's expression froze as she looked at him.
Qin Gengxin looked at Wei Zhengsheng and frowned slightly. He said lightly to Xian Guiying, "Come here, let's talk."
He walked to the other side of the corridor.
Qin Gengxin only took two steps when he realized that the person behind him was not following him. As if he had just remembered about her swollen ankle, Qin Gengxin turned around and looked at her.
Seeing Xian Guiying standing still, Qin Gengxin walked over to her and held her hand with one hand while the other hand gently held her waist to support her body.
He supported Xian Guiying all the way to the end of the corridor. There weren't many people there. She immediately used the window sill to support herself.
Seeing that she didn't need his support any longer, Qin Gengxin thought for a moment before retracting his hand. He put his hands into his pockets and looked at her with a serious and deep gaze. "Down's Syndrome, even if Qianqian is considered a healthy child among children born with this kind of illness, but her body's resistance is so poor. When you were pregnant, did you hide this from me?"
Xian Guiying knew that he would immediately find out about the child's illness once he sent the child to the hospital.
Indeed, when she was more than four months pregnant, blood tests at the hospital had shown that the child might have been suffering from Down's Syndrome, and she was also having amniocentesis. The result was the same, and doctors had advised her to abort the child to prevent the birth of a mentally disabled child or a child with any disability.
However, at that time, she really couldn't bear to part with her child. At that time, she could already feel the child inside her stomach, like a little fish spitting bubbles.
Fortunately, after Qin Wenqian was born, her most typical symptoms were all very healthy, no matter if it was her IQ or something. It was just that her physical condition was extremely poor, and she didn't have the resistance of a child of the same age. However, as long as she could live past the age of six in peace, her body would slowly recover from treatment and recuperation.
This was Xian Guiying's greatest consolation after giving birth to Qin Wenqian. However, every time her daughter had a small illness, she would go through a lot of trouble. After some time, she found out that her "small illness" often lingered at the gates of hell.
When she was pregnant, she kept it a secret from everyone. At that time, she only wanted to keep this baby and even thought of the worst decision. The child in her stomach was already a life. She absolutely could not let the child be killed like this. According to what the doctor had just said, even if there were anything wrong with the child after she was born, Xian Guiying would rather support the child for the rest of her life. Even if she died of old age, she would arrange for others to keep her child for the rest of her life.
When Qin Gengxin found out the reason behind her pregnancy, when he even went into the Xian Residence and admitted that he was the child's father in front of her grandfather, and directly chose to bear the responsibility of marrying her as his wife, all of that shock made Xian Guiying's thoughts stop.
Adding with Qin Gengxin's cold attitude towards her, how could she have the opportunity to tell him what would happen to the child in her womb?
Because back then, everything was unknown, wasn't it?
