Ch.343 A Father’s Regret (3)

“Thank you, doctor.” After Shen Xiuqi had a chat with the doctor, he walked into the ward with a blank expression as he held onto Su Yaya’s hand.

Father Shen was lying on the bed and saw Shen Xiuqi walk in. He frantically got up, Shen Xiuqi then fastened his steps and reached out his hand to help him, before saying, “Just lie down, you don’t have to get up.”

A smile appeared on Father Shen’s face, and he looked at Shen Xiuqi as he said, “Why are you here? Aren’t you busy?”

Shen Xiuqi said softly: “I’m done with work, so I came by to see you, how are you feeling? Any better?”

Father Shen chuckled lightly and said, “Same old, my illness is just this way. Nonetheless, I’m already mentally prepared for anything that comes my way.”

Shen Xiuqi frowned slightly and said: “If you think that the treatment is not working, we can get other doctors to help you.”

Father Shen shook his head and said, “Don’t waste your time. The way this sickness is, I’m perfectly aware.”

Su Yaya stood at the side, when she heard Father Shen say this, she secretly glanced at Shen Xiuqi. Although his face remained expressionless, she could tell that he wasn’t in a good mood, and he was even quite sad and depressed about this.

Su Yaya reached out and held up the vase on the cabinet next to her, and said, “I don’t think these flowers are fresh anymore. I’ll bring them out for a quick change and get some fresh flowers.”

After she said this, she went out with the vase in hand. She did this on purpose so that they could have some space for a decent conversation.

The two of them, Shen Xiuqi and Father Shen, were left in the room. Shen Xiuqi looked at Father Shen with a deep gaze, as he said, “Take good care of yourself, we’re not short of money. Just get whatever treatment that is necessary. I’ll get the best doctors around the world, I’m sure that they will be able to help you.”

Father Shen smiled happily, “My son is the best.”

Shen Xiuqi’s face showed a trace of discomfort, as he said in a calm and indifferent way: “You brought me to this world, I can’t just not care about you.”

Father Shen exclaimed as he saw him sigh, “I’m really sorry for these years. I’m not a good father. You’ve suffered through many grievances. Can you please forgive me?”

Shen Xiuqi smirked and said sarcastically, “What’s the point of saying this now? Where were you back then?”

Father Shen knew that he was at the wrong, with a guilty expression, he smiled bitterly: “It doesn’t matter if you don’t choose to forgive me. I know that I screwed up, so if you have something against me, I can totally understand. It’s just such a shame that I wasn’t able to see your mother again after all these years. I just wanted to see her, that’s why I came back. It seems that I really might not be able to meet her ever again. After all these years, I’ve never apologized to her in person, and I’m really sorry for that.”

An inexplicable wave of sourness surged in Shen Xiuqi’s heart. He wanted to tell him that his mother was doing very well these years, so don’t intrude in her life. However, when the words came to his lips, not a single word came out, as if something was stuck in his throat and he couldn’t make a sound.

After a while, Shen Xiuqi found his voice again and said: “Take good care of yourself. I will find the best doctor for you and provide you with the best treatment plan. Don’t feel discouraged, you will get better. Don’t let it bother you that much.”

While listening to his blunt way of comforting him and at his slightly furrowed brows, Father Shen’s lips broke into a happy smile.
