Earlier when Xu Mey left with her dad, Xu Cheng was insisting on going straight to home and Xu Mey complied. After riding for a while, she received a call from Ye Jie asking, "Baby, where are you?"
"Ah-Jie, dad isn’t feeling too well. So, I’m taking him to the hospital." Xu Mey answered.
"Oh, when will you be back?" He inquired further.
"I think I’ll spend the night with dad. You don’t wait for me." Xu Mey had just hung up the call when she realized Xu Cheng’s pale and haggard look. His breathing was harsh even more than before. His face was sweating profusely.
"Dad!" Xu Mey called out as she touched his face but Xu Cheng didn’t open his eyes. "Dad!" She called out again but no response. "Driver, take the car to the hospital. Fast!" She held her dad’s body feeling anxious.
When they arrived at the hospital, Xu Mey forgot her cellphone in the car. She couldn’t think of anything at the moment. Her focus was solely on her father.
The doctors asked her to wait outside while they examined her father. Xu Mey was pacing back and forth in the corridors not knowing what suddenly went wrong.
"Xiao Mey," Xu Mey turned to see Fan Bingbing but instead being surprised, she felt relieved. "What happened?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"I don’t know... Dad suddenly fainted. Doctors are still inside the room." Feeling a tremor in her voice, Fan Bingbing hugged her trying to soothe her.
Wu Wang had brought Fan Bingbing immediately to hospital after seeing Xu Mey’s location. He didn’t even get the time to inform anyone. He was scared that Xu Mey was hurt but it was her father.
When the doctors came out after the examination, Xu Mey instantly sprinted towards him, "Doctor, how’s my dad? What happened to him?"
"Mr. Xu had an anxiety attack. He has a history of anxiety disorder and it’s hard to say what triggered this kind of stroke. But he’s fine now. You don’t need to worry about it." The doctor told Xu Mey.
"Anxiety?" Xu Mey mumbled to herself. ’When did dad get the anxiety disorder?’
Fan Bingbing rubbed Xu Mey’s arms up and down saying, "Little Mey, don’t worry! The doctor just said that bro is fine now."
Xu Mey looked at Fan Bingbing pondering something before speaking, "You don’t seem surprised. Did you already know that dad had anxiety?"
Fan Bingbing coughed dryly before saying, "Yes... Bro has been suffering from anxiety disorder for the past 28 years now."
"From the time, I was born?" Xu Mey asked with disbelief. ’Did my birth was such a stressful matter?’ Her mind was wandering to wrong sides as always.
"No, from the time your mother left him." Fan Bingbing replied with a sigh. Knowing Xu Mey’s nature of ooverthinking, she decided to be honest and straightforward.
"I don’t have a mother." Xu Mey scowled. And she didn’t want the one who gave birth to her.
Fan Bingbing smiled sadly and stroked her hair. "I know... But your dad had a wife once." ’The wife whom he loved more than anything else in his life.’ She left the last part unsaid. She didn’t want Xu Mey to know that the woman she hated was still loved by her father. So, what if she hated Xin Qian herself? Her brother never stopped loving her.
"I don’t care about that... I only want to know why he suddenly got this attack." Seeing Fan Bingbing acting weird, Xu Mey thought of something, "You do know what happened, right? Please, don’t hide it from me. Dad has always hidden his pain from me. Now, I want to share it with him."
"I’m not too sure..." Fan Bingbing tried to evade answering her question. She couldn’t plainly lie to Xu Mey. And the matters related to Xin Qian were not hers to talk about.
Xu Mey could feel that Fan Bingbing was hiding something from her but she didn’t push her for an answer anymore.
"Wang, take Xiao Mey home. I’ll stay here." Xu Mey was reluctant to leave but Fan Bingbing’s look told her to do otherwise. "Seeing your worried face, bro will be more stressed. Just go home." Xu Mey pursed her lips and nodded. Fan Bingbing kissed her forehead and sent her away.
After 2 hours, Xu Cheng woke up and found Fan Bingbing staring at him intently. She helped him to some water but didn’t say a word.
"Am I getting a silent treatment?" Xu Cheng asked in a hoarse voice.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmFan Bingbing snickered, "I can’t believe that she still has this much effect on you. Just getting a glimpse gave you an anxiety attack?"
"I didn’t see her." She was surprised to hear that. "I just heard her voice."
"And you recognized the voice?"
"I fell in love with that voice, how can I possibly forget it?" He retorted while she looked at him in disbelief. "Also, this anxiety wasn’t because of hearing her voice."
Fan Bingbing frowned, "Then what happened?"
Xu Cheng turned his face and replied, "You didn’t tell me that she has a son."
Fan Bingbing didn’t know what to say at this. Fortunately for her, he wasn’t asking for an explanation. "Keep her away from Xiao Mey. My daughter doesn’t need a mother like her who left her daughter behind."
"If she had asked about you or Xiao Mey in all these years, I’d have might let her be near Xiao Mey but since she didn’t, I don’t even plan on letting her know about Xiao Mey." Fan Bingbing replied indignantly.
Xu Cheng closed his eyes. ’I had kept my distance from Fu Lan all these years and what did you do? You even have a son. You never gave me a chance to explain myself. But I’m okay with that. The problem is that you never even gave our daughter a chance. What was her fault?’ His mind was roaming all around in past memories.
He wasn’t sure before tonight but now, he knew that he wanted to keep this past in the past. There was no point in dwelling into the past that left him alone. It was time to let the past stay in the past.
