Chapter 425 - Too Much Coincidence
She smacked him on his shoulder. "Minor injuries? Look at all the dressing on your head! It\'s put as if some icing on the cake, and you say they are minor…" He eyes slightly reddened, "First you got hurt that day while protecting Xinyi and now this. It\'s as if bad luck is following you everywhere."
Zhiyuan glanced at Han Tian, and he nodded. He coughed and softly held her shoulder. "Don\'t worry, Liqin. Zhiyuan is fine. He can already be discharged tomorrow after observation."
She bit her lip.
Zhiyuan held her hand in his. "Okay? More importantly, Siying is fine. If he had been hurt, then I would have never been able to forgive myself," he clenched his fist.
Outside, it was only when Xinyi thoroughly checked Siying for injuries and didn\'t find them was when she could breathe in relief. Siying tightly hugged her and spoke with a low voice, "Mama. Dada...B-blood…"
Xinyi noticed his body trembling, and she hugged him back. Her heart ached to see her son traumatized and blaming himself. She patted his back and said in a gentle voice. "Dada is fine, Siying. There is nothing for you to worry about."
She looked up at Caihong and gratefully thanked her. "Thank you for taking care of him."
She nodded in a daze. Just then, Han Huizhong slowly walked in too. He was waiting in the car outside. Naturally, he wanted to meet Zhiyuan but thinking that Caihong was here too made him hesitate a little. After a long time thinking about it, he finally decided to head in.
His gaze fell on Caihong. He stiffened for a moment but kept on walking.
"Xinyi."
She raised her head, and her eyes couldn\'t help but tear up. Han Huizhong softly flicked her head. "Silly, don\'t cry. Didn\'t I tell you that you look ugly when you cry? I don\'t want to see an ugly granddaughter-in-law."
Xinyi wiped her eyes and softly chuckled.
Han Huizhong ruffled Siying\'s head and smiled. He looked at Xinyi and said, "Go and meet Zhiyuan. I am pretty sure Liqin must be shedding a river of tears now. Help out your father-in-law. Just don\'t join her with the tears business."
"Grandpa!" She helplessly exclaimed.
Xinyi felt uncertain about leaving Han Huizhong and Caihong together. Won\'t it be awkward?
Han Huizhong narrowed his eyes. "Go already."
She sighed and nodded.
As she left, there came a silence between them. Han Huizhong subconsciously clasped his hands together.
"...How is Xiaosi?"
Caihong jolted from her stupor and blinked her eyes at him. "I am sorry, I didn\'t hear you."
He cleared his throat. "I just asked about Xiaosi."
"Oh. His condition is the same as before. Doctors are trying their best. But I believe Xiaosi will wake up soon," she looked firm.
Han Huizhong slowly nodded. Then he opened and closed mouth many times but couldn\'t come to the topic about the past. He didn\'t even know what he would say if he brought up the past.
He felt mad at himself.
Am I mute!? Is it so difficult to talk!? I am Han Huizhong! What has ever been so difficult for me?
He had so much to say to her and An Guoting. But at the same time, he felt as if he had nothing to say at all.
He glanced at Caihong and once again found her in a daze as if she was confused about something.
"Is there something wrong?" He asked. "You look...puzzled."
"That…" she pursed her lips. "I don\'t know how to say it. It\'s about something Siying told me a while back."
He tilted his head. "Siying?"
"It sounds absurd, but when I was showing him Chyou\'s pictures, he saw one of my Mom\'s pictures. And then he said that she was the same woman he saw today in the other car that hit Zhiyuan\'s car in the accident."
Han Huizhong rapidly blinked his eyes. "What? Your mother? He cannot be talking about An Meiying, right? She is in jail."
"Not her. My real mother, An Yueqin."
He widened his eyes. "Ah? Her? Isn\'t she…"
Caihong gave an awkward and helpless smile. "Right. She has already passed away, so what Siying saw is impossible. He must have mistaken the woman…"
Han Huizhong narrowed his eyes. It was really strange. Siying had never seen what An Yueqin looked like, yet he confidently said that the woman was definitely her.
Was he really mistaken?
"What did you say about Siying?" It was Yunru who asked as he hurriedly rushed in with Zizi and Soo Enlai.
Zizi exclaimed. "How is bro! How is Siying!"
Soo Enlai said, concerned, "It\'s nothing serious, right?"
Han Huizhong said, "He is fine. You can go and meet him-"
Zizi and Soo Enlai already dashed in the ward like lightning even before he completed his sentence.
"..."
Yunru quickly said, "Caihong. What were you telling about Mrs. An?"
She shook her head. "It\'s nothing. I guess Siying misunderstood. He said he saw my Mom today in the other car. But it\'s impossible."
Yunru slowly widened his eyes. "This is…"
Han Huizhong squinted his eyes. "What\'s wrong? Do you know something else?"
Yunru recalled what An Guoting told Zizi about seeing An Yueqin stepping out of Grandiose building where the first accident happened.
Caihong was stunned. "Wait, wait! Dad didn\'t tell me anything about this! He saw Mom?"
"Yes. And now Siying says he saw her too. But I don\'t know how much we can rely on it. It got a little smoky after the car hit the pole, and in that distance, Siying saw a figure. There was confusion all around the place. It\'s highly probable he saw it wrong. But I won\'t be discarding it either. Let\'s see where we go with this. But I strongly feel that this was deliberate.. A second accident after the first one seems to be too much of a coincidence."
