I Bacame the Mother of His Child-Chapter 50 - 49: Song Xiaoying Kneels Down

Xu Xiuxiu’s heart pounded as she first shifted her gaze towards Song Chengguang, only to see him still sitting peacefully on the lawn, the little guy’s head turned away from Xu Xiuxiu, attracted by the shouting, trying to peek in that direction.

Seeing this, Xu Xiuxiu was in no mood to deal with Lu Xiangxiang and immediately stood up and walked swiftly towards the child. Several military wives whose children were playing also hurried towards the small lawn.

"Chengguang," Xu Xiuxiu quickly picked up Song Chengguang, who was somewhat dirty, from the ground.

"Brother," Song Chengguang turned his head and looked at Xu Xiuxiu for a moment, his small hand pointing in a direction not far away.

Brother? Zhao Nan!

Xu Xiuxiu’s heart skipped a beat as she carried Song Chengguang towards the direction his little hand pointed, with many military wives also rushing to the scene.

"Gasp—"

"Hissss... My God!" A gasp of shock came, and Xu Xiuxiu, again unsettled, furrowed her brows and leaned forward to see what was happening. freēnovelkiss.com

"Wow! It wasn’t me, I didn’t push Zhao Nan, Mommy, you believe me..." Xu Xiuxiu drew closer and heard a sob. Judging by the voice, it was the girl known as Erya, whom Zhao Nan was familiar with. Xu Xiuxiu stuck out her head and sure enough, saw Erya crying miserably in Song Xiaoying’s arms, while Zhao Nan was lying on the grass covered in blood.

Xu Xiuxiu’s vision darkened, "Zhao Nan." She held Song Chengguang and pushed through the people in front, "Quick, call the military doctor." Xu Xiuxiu shouted with all her might as tears quickly welled up in her eyes.

"Auntie..." Zhao Nan lay on the lawn, his face a mixture of fear and shock, and as soon as he saw Xu Xiuxiu, he called out to her. However, it seemed to pull at the wounds on his face, and his whole body began to twist in pain.

"Nannan, don’t move, be good, don’t be afraid! Auntie is here! The military doctor is on the way." Xu Xiuxiu put down Song Chengguang, stepped forward, and grabbed Zhao Nan’s small hand, speaking to calm him gently, but her eyes trembled when they met the fresh blood continuously oozing from Zhao Nan’s face.

"Mama, brother wipe..." Song Chengguang’s little eyes fixed on Zhao Nan and, seeing more and more blood on Zhao Nan’s face, he even reached out to wipe it away.

Xu Xiuxiu’s heart was pounding as she stopped Song Chengguang’s movements, grabbing his small body and pulling him into her arms, "Chengguang, be good, don’t move." Holding the little one tightly, Xu Xiuxiu reminded him in fear.

"Mhm." Song Chengguang, seeing his mother’s pale face, nodded obediently and nestled in Xu Xiuxiu’s arms, his small mouth tightly closed.

On the other side.

Song Xiaoying had already pulled her crying daughter aside, "Erya, tell me, what exactly happened?" Song Xiaoying asked sternly, her heart praying that her daughter was not involved in the incident.

Startled by her mother’s words, Erya’s tearful little body shivered. She glanced towards Zhao Nan and then looked up at her mother, her face filled with fear, "We were just playing tag, and I was hiding behind the curtain on that platform over there, but Zhao Nan was also hiding inside, and we started to struggle. Then suddenly, for some reason, Zhao Nan fell from above. When I jumped down to look, Zhao Nan’s face was already bleeding, Mommy, I really don’t know what happened?" Erya was somewhat dazed, her gaze shifting to the nail on the platform not far away, still smeared with blood.

Song Xiaoying followed her daughter’s gaze to see the sharp nail and suddenly stopped breathing, gripping her daughter’s hand tighter unconsciously.

"Mama... it hurts." Erya felt the pain in her wrist, and her tearful little face became even more pitiable.

"Erya, you’ve really caused a big problem now," Song Xiaoying said, hearing her daughter’s feeble protest. She frowned deeply, and the whole person suddenly seemed at a loss, grabbing Erya’s hand and planning to walk towards Zhao Nan. "Come on, let’s go see Zhao Nan."

"I won’t go, Mama, don’t pull me, I’m afraid, I don’t want to see so much blood!" Erya’s choking sobs turned into howling cries at this moment, her small body clung tightly to Song Xiaoying’s hand, collapsing and falling backward in despair.

"Erya!" Song Xiaoying called out her daughter’s nickname with a mix of anger and urgency.

"Mom, I’m begging you, please don’t make me go, okay?" Erya defiantly raised her head and yelled like a wounded little animal, struggling and bristling. Then, seeing Song Xiaoying’s reluctance, she quickly shook off her hand, turned, and ran out of the lawn.

Song Xiaoying watched her daughter flee but didn’t step forward to chase her. She turned her head to look at Zhao Nan lying on the lawn, but the concern in her heart couldn’t be concealed; no matter what, Zhao Nan’s injury couldn’t be separated from her own daughter.

At this moment, the Military District’s medics had already arrived, carefully lifting Zhao Nan onto a stretcher. Xu Xiuxiu, seeing this, immediately followed with Song Chengguang in her arms, and Song Xiaoying, taking deep breaths, also followed them into the medical room.

Outside the medical room, Xu Xiuxiu sat with Song Chengguang in her arms, waiting, and Song Xiaoying sat by her side. Zhao Nan had been carried into the medical room for treatment, but judging from the large amount of blood seen earlier, there would be no life-threatening danger, but the wound was quite deep, and there would likely be a scar on his face in the future. Xu Xiuxiu became somewhat saddened at this thought—Zhao Nan was still so young!

Song Xiaoying sat, unable to stop the tears from flowing. Xu Xiuxiu glanced at Song Xiaoying but didn’t feel like comforting her; she just held Song Chengguang quietly waiting.

Close to noon, Zhao Nan’s injury was controlled, but he was still unconscious due to the anesthesia.

The troops had already informed Zhao Nan’s father, Zhao Jian Country, and he was expected to arrive soon. Xu Xiuxiu, worried about Zhao Nan, had not left the medical room at all, and the lunch was brought by a medic. Xu Xiuxiu herself had no appetite and let Song Chengguang eat a little before sitting by Zhao Nan’s bed to keep watch.

She hesitated whether to give Zhao Nan some Space Spring Water but feared a slip-up.

As evening approached, Zhao Nan woke up. His originally delicate little face was now bandaged like a mummy, revealing only half of his right face. "Auntie, I’m thirsty," Zhao Nan called out to Xu Xiuxiu in a hoarse and unclear voice.

Xu Xiuxiu’s heart clenched. She turned to grab a water cup nearby, quickly exchanged the water inside for something else, and handed him a straw to his lips.

Bang—

Just after feeding Zhao Nan, the door of the medical room was opened from outside. The bespectacled Zhao Jian Country hurried in and, seeing Zhao Nan lying on the bed, immediately teared up, a grown man looking at his son on the bed for the first time, hesitating to step forward out of fear.

Song Yuanhuan followed Zhao Jian Country in and, seeing Xu Xiuxiu and her son sitting safely by the bed, visibly relaxed in his worried eyes. Xu Xiuxiu also felt a little relieved when she saw Song Yuanhuan.

"Political Commissioner Zhao, I’ve let you down; it’s my fault for not disciplining my child properly." Song Xiaoying, who had been staring dumbly all afternoon without uttering a word, even when Zhao Nan woke up, hadn’t moved a muscle, reacted immediately upon seeing Zhao Nan’s father Zhao Jian Country enter. Without a second thought, she walked straight to him and knelt before him.
