Yun Shishi’s lips curled into a smile as she poured a glass of water for her son and placed it on the cabinet beside him.

He took a sip right away when he held it in his hands. As soon as his lips touched the water, he cried, “It’s hot!”

Startled, she hurriedly asked, “You got scalded? Little fool, don’t you know how to let it cool before drinking?”

To his cold realization, it seemed that his mother had naturally been calling him ‘little fool’!

Was he really that stupid?

Streams of tears were about to pour out from his eyes!

“My mouth got scalded; mommy, blow it for me!” Like a delicate flower, Little Yichen blinked his eyes innocently and pouted at her.

He seemed to have forgotten that he had simply shoved ice from the ground into his mouth when he was trapped in the snow during his survival field training without food and water, which was more life-threatening than this boiling hot water!

However, in his mother’s presence, he completely dropped that awe-inspiring front and behaved so softly like a delicate flower bud, making him appear so lovable!

She immediately lifted his face with heartache to blow lightly on the scalded corner of his lips.

“You’re scalded. Does it hurt, darling?” She felt a stab of pain in her heart.

At the side, the man coolly exposed the boy. “He’s not that weak!”

Feeling incessantly aggrieved, he dove in his mother’s arms while shooting his father a look of provocation!

The man was completely antagonized now.

This lad is obviously provoking me!

His woman shot him a dark look. “Why don’t you try getting scalded? You only know how to make snide remarks!”

Mu Yazhe: “…”

“Yup, yup! Daddy only knows how to make snide remarks; he doesn’t feel hurt for me at all. Hmph!”

From the man’s bone-chilling expression, it was as if the mid-winter’s snow had completely coated his face.

Right then, there was a sound of slow yet approaching footsteps from outside.

The door to the ward was slowly pushed open immediately after.

Standing at the doorway, Mu Sheng, in a hospital attire, looked thin and boneless as a draft of wind from the ajar window swept through the huge ward and brushed at the hem of his clothes.

The family of three’s harmonious image instantly entered his eyes when he squinted in the sickbed’s direction.

Gazing unblinkingly at the woman, he quietly stood at a remote corner and dared not to make a sound. This was lest he disturb them.

He was contented, though!

He felt immensely guilty and ashamed toward her!

If not for him, she would not have to suffer from so many grievances! If not him, she would probably have led a peaceful yet ordinary life!

Now, because of him, she had received so much unjust treatment!

He could not forgive himself at the thought of this, let alone hoping to receive her forgiveness!

Little Yichen suddenly sensed the presence of an extra person, and when he raised his head, his eyes widened in surprise at finding the old man standing at the doorway.

“Great grandpa…” he instinctively called out.

Startled, Yun Shishi turned in the direction of his gaze; her face instantly cooled off at the sight of the elderly man!

“Why are you here?”

From the indifference and aloofness in her voice, it was apparent that she was very much opposed to his arrival!

He could not help feeling flustered when he saw her looking at him with such indifference!
