Chapter 302 An Unexpected Discovery
"Do not."
She looked up at me and said, "If you hadn't persuaded me, I wouldn't have given him a chance to speak at all."
I didn't know what to say, so I just gently patted her back.
Just then, Little Tian wobbled over and climbed into our midst.
"Did Mom cry?"
He wiped away Song Yafei's tears with his little hands.
Song Yafei held her son in her arms. "Mom is fine. Mom is very happy. Because... our family has one more member."
Little Tian tilted his head, "Who is it?"
"It's my maternal grandfather."
Song Yafei said, "You'll be able to see him soon."
The next day, Mr. Song went to the hospital for a bone marrow matching test.
The results came back quickly, and to everyone's surprise, his bone marrow was a very good match for Xiao Xiaotian.
The doctor said this was good news; if all goes well, the surgery could be performed within a month.
Upon hearing the news, Song Yafei was so excited that she cried.
She called me immediately to tell me.
“Ah Tian, you’re right. Giving him a chance is the right thing to do.”
She choked up as she spoke on the phone.
I was also very happy. "This is a good thing. Little Tian is saved."
"Ah."
"The doctor said some pre-operative preparations are needed, which will take about a month. During this time, could you..."
She didn't finish her sentence, but I understood what she meant.
"I will always be with you."
After hanging up the phone, I looked at Xiaoxiaotian playing with his toys and felt a warm feeling well up inside me.
Spending so much time together has made it increasingly difficult for me to part with this lovely child.
Even knowing that this is only temporary, I still can't help but want to give him the best care.
That evening, Song Yafei brought Mr. Song to the villa.
This was the first time he had officially met Xiao Xiaotian.
Little Tian was a little shy about his grandfather's sudden appearance and hid behind me, refusing to come out.
Mr. Song was also very nervous, standing there helplessly, not knowing how to interact with his grandson.
I squatted down and said to Xiaoxiaotian, "Do you remember the person who gave you the toy car last time? It was your grandpa."
Little Tian then peeked out and looked timidly at Mr. Song.
Mr. Song took a toy out of his bag. "Little Tian, Grandpa brought you a gift."
Upon seeing the new toy, Xiao Xiaotian finally lowered his guard and slowly walked towards Mr. Song.
"Thank you, Grandpa."
He said in a childish voice.
Mr. Song excitedly picked up Xiao Xiaotian, his eyes immediately welling up with tears.
Seeing this, Song Yafei's eyes also reddened.
I know that this family is finally starting to heal.
The atmosphere was somewhat somber during dinner.
Although everyone tried to liven things up, years of estrangement cannot be erased in a single meal.
After the meal, Mr. Song suggested that he speak with Song Yafei alone.
I took Xiaoxiaotian to play in the yard, giving the father and daughter some alone time.
It took a while before Song Yafei came out to find us.
Her eyes were still red, but she had a relieved smile on her face.
"He's gone?"
"Ah."
She nodded. "He talked a lot about the past."
"for example?"
"For example, how he was driven to a dead end back then. For example, how he has been secretly keeping an eye on us all these years."
She paused, then added, "He also said... he has always regretted his decision back then."
I can understand Mr. Song's feelings, "At least now he can make amends."
"Yes."
Song Yafei said, "He promised to visit Xiaoxiaotian often during this period."
I nodded. This is a good thing for Xiaoxiaotian too.
"Oh, right."
Song Yafei suddenly said, "He also told me something else."
"what's up?"
He said... the person who forced him to leave back then is still with the Song Group.
I frowned. "What do you mean?"
"He said that person was secretly manipulating something, but he didn't say who it was."
Song Yafei's expression turned serious. "He told me to be careful."
A bad feeling suddenly crept into my mind. "Who do you think it could be?"
Song Yafei shook her head. "I've been thinking about it too. But there aren't many of the high-ranking officials from back then who are still in office."
Just then, Xiaoxiaotian ran over and tugged at my trouser leg, "Dad, I want to play on the seesaw."
I picked him up and said, "Okay, Daddy will play with you."
Watching my son and me playing, Song Yafei seemed to temporarily forget her worries.
In the days that followed, Mr. Song frequently visited the villa to see Xiao Xiaotian.
Gradually, Xiao Xiaotian became familiar with his grandfather, and would happily rush to him every time he saw him.
That afternoon, I was working on documents in my study when I suddenly heard a commotion outside.
When I went outside, I found that Madam Song had arrived sometime earlier.
She was confronting Mr. Song, her face extremely grim.
"You still have the nerve to come back?"
Madam Song sneered, "You abandoned us, mother and daughter, back then, and now you want to play the good guy?"
Mr. Song's face showed a pained expression, "You don't know what happened back then..."
"I don't need to know!"
Mrs. Song interrupted him, "All these years, I've raised Yafei all by myself. Do you know how hard it has been for us?"
"I know……"
Mr. Song said in a low voice, "So now I'm thinking..."
"What are you thinking? Want compensation?"
Madam Song retorted sneered, "Do you even think you're worthy?"
Seeing the two on the verge of conflict, I was about to step forward to intervene when Song Yafei suddenly appeared.
"enough!"
She said sternly.
They both looked at her at the same time.
"Mom, you should go back first."
Song Yafei said, "We don't need you here."
"Yafei!"
Madam Song looked at her daughter in disbelief, "You actually took his side?"
"I didn't help anyone."
Song Yafei said calmly, "I just don't want you two to argue here and affect Xiao Xiaotian."
Madam Song then noticed Little Tian hiding behind me.
He was so frightened by the sight that he trembled.
Mrs. Song's expression softened slightly, but she still glared at Mr. Song. "Fine, I'm leaving. But Yafei, you need to think this through. This man doesn't deserve forgiveness at all!"
After saying that, she turned and left.
Mr. Song wanted to chase after them, but Song Yafei stopped him.
"Let her calm down first."
she says.
Mr. Song sighed, watching Mrs. Song's departing figure, his eyes filled with pain.
I carried Xiaoxiaotian into the house and asked Aunt Lin to take him to play.
When they returned, Mr. Song was talking to Song Yafei.
"...Actually, your mother is right."
He whispered, "I really don't deserve forgiveness."
"I didn't say I would forgive you."
Song Yafei said, "I just... did it for Xiao Xiaotian."
Mr. Song smiled wryly, "I understand. But..." He hesitated, then stopped.
"what happened?"
"I feel like your mom's behavior today is a bit strange."
Mr. Song frowned. "It's as if she knew I was coming in advance."
I also felt something was amiss. Madam Song's arrival was too opportune.
