Chapter 18: The Consequences of Abandoning His Son
Chapter 18: Chapter 18: The Consequences of Abandoning His Son
“Han?” Huo Tingdong squatted down, gently tugging at his soft little hand, “Are you willing to eat something now?”
Han just stared eagerly at the door, as if waiting for Miss Lin to eat with him.
Huo Tingdong asked, “Why do you like her so much?”
Beside him, Momo nonchalantly said, “My Mommy is gentle and kind, the most perfect woman in the world. It makes sense to like her.”
“Gentle?” Huo Tingdong didn’t think so at all. Miss Lin had nothing to do with the word “gentle”; “She’s clearly violent.”
Momo looked at his face, “What’s wrong with a grown man yielding to a woman? Why are you being so petty? I’m more worried that Mommy might have fractured her hand with a slap!”
...
Han nodded seriously, worry evident in his eyes.
Huo Tingdong: “…”
“Han!”
At the end of the corridor, Old Madam Huo came with the support of a servant. She was in her pajamas, as if she had slept for a while and woke up in the middle of the night, her first thought being a concern whether Han had eaten or not.
Huo Tingdong asked, “Grandma, why are you up?”
“I’m worried that Han is still not eating!” Old Madam Huo looked deeply concerned, “I couldn’t sleep soundly, worried that Han might be hungry.”
Saying that, she walked towards Han, “Han, are you hungry? I’ll ask the kitchen to prepare some snacks for you.”
Han shook his head, but his little stomach honestly growled a few times.
Old Madam Huo playfully flicked his nose, chiding, “Still saying you’re not hungry? I heard your stomach growl!”
Suddenly, the door opened.
Several female doctors walked out of the room.
“Mr. Huo.”
Huo Tingdong looked at them, “How is she?”
The doctors reported respectfully, “Luckily, there are no damaged muscles or bones, mostly superficial injuries. Miss Lin mentioned feeling a bit dizzy, probably a mild concussion, and needs rest.”
Huo Tingdong asked, “Have the wounds been dressed?”
The doctor replied, “All dressed.”
Momo rushed into the room heartbrokenly, with Han also stepping in cautiously after her.
“Han…” Old Madam Huo felt a bit stifled, “Why is he so concerned about this woman?”
Huo Tingdong said, “Not sure.”
Old Madam Huo thought for a moment, sighed softly, and said with a pained heart, “Perhaps because he grew up without a mother, Han must have found a motherly feeling in this woman.” Saying this, she quickly instructed the servant, “Go prepare the meal.” @@novelbin@@
“Yes, Old Madam.”
Old Madam Huo: “Tingdong, would you like to eat something?”
Huo Tingdong said, “No, thanks.”
Old Madam Huo walked towards the room, “I want to make sure Han eats something before I sleep.”
In the Huo Family, Old Madam Huo doted on Han the most. Huo Tingdong could be strict with Han at times, but the old lady treated him as if he were too precious to even touch, fearing he might crumble, or dissolve once in her mouth.
Huo Tingdong stood at the doorway, looking at Miss Lin lying on the bed.
Fairly speaking.
Miss Lin was not the most stunning woman he had ever seen; a beauty of seven or eight points, yet she had soft, enchanting eyes and lustrous pupils, hair like clouds, and slender limbs. The longer he looked, the more her beauty charmed him.
Looking at Momo, this little one had inherited her excellent physique, his appearance clean and striking.
He was seven years old.
That is to say, while he was still unconscious, during the collapse, she was already secretly pregnant with another man’s child.
But the thought that Lin Jinmo was the son borne out of her infidelity, a cloud of gloom would again appear on Huo Tingdong’s face.
No one has ever betrayed him.
Never.
Therefore, for this woman, his heart is filled with disgust.
The servants quickly brought in a rich meal.
Old Madam Huo habitually wanted to feed Han, but saw him standing by the bed, holding a bowl and a spoon, clumsily feeding Lin Qi her favorite sugar heart egg and soft braised pork.
Old Lady’s eyes nearly popped out!
What is Han doing?
He wants to feed Lin Qi himself?
Lin Qi was also a bit surprised, “Han, you want to feed me?”
Han gently nodded, his eyes sparkling.
Lin Qi couldn’t bear to refuse, so after taking a bite of the food he fed, she noticed a change in Han’s expression, as if he was waiting for her response.
Lin Qi smiled, “The food Han feeds is especially delicious.”
Her smile was tender and beautiful, Han stared at her smiling face for a long time, his cheeks flushed red, clearly a bit shy.
Meanwhile, Momo, seeing this scene, felt a bit sour in his heart and a little jealous, “Are you trying to compete with me for Mommy?”
Han looked at him, blinking blankly.
Momo emphasized again, “Mommy is mine, mine alone.”
Upon hearing this, Han quickly showed a look of loss.
“Momo…” Lin Qi knew Momo had been dependent on her since he was young and had a strong possessiveness, but still softly said, “Han won’t compete with you.”
Hearing this, Han put down his bowl, clung to her side, and hugged her hand, rubbing his little face against her shoulder.
Momo, feeling a sense of alarm in his heart, also hugged Lin Qi’s hand from the other side, telling Han, “She’s my mommy, not yours.”
Han didn’t argue with Momo, just burying his little face in Lin Qi’s arm, exposing only a pair of innocent eyes.
Lin Qi gently stroked his little head, smiling, “Han is not unhappy!”
Han affectionately rubbed against her palm, seemingly enjoying such caresses.
Momo felt somewhat aggrieved, feeling that Lin Qi was somewhat siding with Han.
Beside them, Old Madam had never seen Han like this; in her memory, Han had always been indifferent and distant from everyone, meticulously cared for by nannies and servants. Now, he was not eating himself but actively feeding Lin Qi and being so intimate with her. This was not the Han she knew.
“Han, you must be hungry too, let granny feed you.”
Old Madam Huo sat next to Han, wanting to feed him herself.
Momo said, “I’ve been eating by myself since I was four.”
Hearing this, Han gently pushed away Old Lady’s bowl, also wanting to eat by himself.
Old Lady, surprised to see him eating by himself, felt relieved and walked up to the door.
“A child still can’t be away from their mother,” Old Lady remarked sentimentally. “Tingdong, have you found Han’s biological mother yet?”
Huo Tingdong said, “You should ask yourself that.”
Old Madam looked puzzled, “Ask me?”
“Aren’t you afraid that I wouldn’t wake up, causing the Huo Family to have no heir?” Huo Tingdong said, “Is Han possibly born from a woman you found?”
Old Lady knitted her brows, “No! How could I allow those women with unknown backgrounds to bear a Huo Family child?” However, she also suspected someone might have stolen Huo Tingdong’s seed to secretly birth Han.
Huo Tingdong said, “I will clarify Han’s origins as soon as possible, but no matter who his birth mother is, he is my son.”
Old Lady asked, “If you find Han’s birth mother, what then?”
Huo Tingdong said, “I will pursue her responsibility for abandonment. I want her to know what consequences there are for abandoning my son.”
What do you think?
