“Where is he? Is he injured?” Zhan Xiaoting asked nervously.

“He’s not injured. He’s just a little frightened. He’s taking a statement at the police station now.”

“Alright, I understand. Take good care of him. I’ll be right there!”

Zhan Xiaoting put away his phone and told Tang Weiwei about An’an.

“You haven’t recovered yet. Stay in the hospital for treatment. I’ll bring An’an back.”

“No!” Hearing that An’an had been found, Tang Weiwei perked up. “I want to go with you!”

She was afraid that all of this was just her imagination or a dream.

She had to see An’an with her own eyes to be at ease.

“You’re still sick!” Zhan Xiaoting reminded.

“I don’t care. You have to take me with you. Otherwise…” Tang Weiwei said stubbornly, “After you leave, I’ll take a taxi and follow you.”

“You…” Zhan Xiaoting suddenly felt that the sleeping Tang Weiwei was more obedient and pleasing to the eye.

He knew that this damn woman would do what she said.

In order to prevent her from getting into trouble again, he could only agree helplessly. “After we bring An’an back, you have to return to the hospital to recuperate.”

“Okay.” Tang Weiwei smiled.

When Zhan Xiaoting saw the smile on her face, his mood inexplicably improved.

When the two of them arrived at the police station, An’an had already had his statement taken.

“Mom, Uncle Zhan…” An’an’s eyes lit up when he saw Tang Weiwei and Zhan Xiaoting.

Tang Weiwei rushed over recklessly and pulled her lost baby into her arms.

“Anan, I’m so glad that you’re fine.” With lingering fear, she said, “Mommy was really scared to death.”

An’an felt a little pain from her hug.

But he also knew that his mother was terrified for him.

He did not struggle. Instead, he said sensibly, “Mom, I’m fine now. Don’t be afraid!”

Tang Weiwei nodded with red eyes.

“Yes, Mommy is not afraid!”

Immediately after, Tang Weiwei and Zhan Xiaoting went to ask about the details of an ‘an being taken away.

Immediately after, Tang Weiwei and Zhan Xiaoting went to ask about the inside story of An’an being taken away.

Only then did she know that the two people who took An’an away were human traffickers. One of them had a cold and fever and went to the hospital to get medicine. He accidentally saw An’an’s exquisite and cute appearance and thought that he could be sold for a good price.

Therefore, the two of them had evil thoughts and carried him away.

Originally, everything was going smoothly as they had planned. As long as the day passed, they could send An’an out of A City and sell him off in a remote mountainous area. However, they did not expect Zhan Xiaoting to interfere with their plans.

His men found clues in time. Not only did they save An’an, but they also caught a human trafficking gang.

The two men who captured An’an also confessed to their crimes.

This case was successfully closed.

After listening to the entire case, Tang Weiwei felt that something was amiss. However, because she still had a fever and her head was dizzy, she could not put a finger on it.

Hence, she could only leave the police station with An’an and Zhan Xiaoting.

On the way back to the hospital, An’an suddenly asked, “Mom, are you hot? Why is your face so red?”

When Zhan Xiaoting heard this, he reached out and touched Tang Weiwei’s forehead. Her temperature was frighteningly high.

He frowned and said, “Your temperature has risen again!”

Immediately after, he turned down the temperature of the car and asked the driver to accelerate and rush back to the hospital as quickly as possible.

“I’m fine!” Tang Weiwei coughed. “I’ll get better in two days.”

When Zhan Xiaoting saw her disregarding his health, he felt a little uncomfortable.

“Tang Weiwei, you’re not made of steel. You don’t have to be so stubborn!”

Tang Weiwei was stunned. After so many years, Zhan Xiaoting was the first person to tell her not to force herself.

The hardest corner of her heart seemed to have been hit by something hard, revealing some bitterness.

She didn’t want to be an iron lady and shoulder everything herself, but…

She was alone and An’an had congenital leukemia. What else could she do?

Soon, they returned to the hospital.

The doctor examined An’an and found nothing wrong with him.

On the other hand, Tang Weiwei’s fever was already at 39.8 degrees Celsius, just a little bit away from 40 degrees.

The doctor immediately arranged for her to be hospitalized.

The doctor immediately arranged for her to be hospitalized.

An’an knew that his mother was sick and his heart ached. He stayed by her side the entire day and did not play with other children.

At night.

Zhan Xiaoting brought a thermos over and scooped out a bowl of chicken soup.

“The doctor said that your immune system is weak and you need more nourishment,” he said as he handed her the soup.

Tang Weiwei reached out to take the chicken soup, but her body was weak and she almost knocked over the bowl.

“Forget it, I’ll feed you…”

Zhan Xiaoting took the chicken soup and sat down by the bed. He thoughtfully blew on the soup to cool it down a little before feeding it to her mouth with a spoon.

Tang Weiwei opened her mouth and took a sip. The chicken soup was delicious and the temperature was just right.

Between the two of them, one fed the other, and the other just focused on drinking the warm soup. The scene was extremely harmonious.

An’an rested his chin on his hand as he watched from the side. He suddenly asked, “Uncle Zhan, do you like my mother?”

“Cough, cough, cough…” Tang Weiwei almost choked on a mouthful of chicken soup.

Zhan Xiaoting’s hand paused for a moment. He patted Tang Weiwei’s back to calm her down and asked, “Why do you say that?”

An’an continued, “Little Deeny’s father in the ward next door loves his mother very much and often feeds her personally.”

Tang Weiwei was about to say something when…

The nurse came over to remind An’an that it was time for him to go back to his ward.

An’an knew that his mother was also sick and did not want her to worry, so he obediently followed the nurse back to his ward.

After he left, there were only the two of them left in the ward.

Coincidentally, Weiwei had finished all the soup.

Zhan Xiaoting put away the bowl and said to Tang Weiwei, “Rest well. I’ll get someone to bring you soup tomorrow.”

With that, he prepared to leave.

“Wait…” Tang Weiwei stopped him.

Zhan Xiaoting stopped in his tracks and raised his eyebrows, as if asking her if there was anything else.

Tang Weiwei thought of Zhan Xiaoting’s actions over the past few days and bit her lip.

In the end, she could not help but ask, “Master Zhan, why are you helping me like this? Why are you so good to me?”

“Because…” Zhan Xiaoting was stunned.

This question stumped him.

He wanted to say that it was for An’an.

But An’an had already been found. What did Tang Weiwei’s life and death have to do with him?

Even if he was afraid that something would happen to her and that would cause An’an to be upset, he could just find someone to take care of her. He did not have to do it himself.

“I’m afraid that if something happens to you, Grandpa will blame me for not taking good care of you…” In the end, Zhan Xiaoting spurted out a random excuse.

He didn’t know if he was trying to convince Tang Weiwei or himself.

“I see…” Tang Weiwei breathed a sigh of relief.

She stayed in the Zhan family because she wanted to find the man from five years ago. Once she managed to find An’an’s father and treated An’an’s illness, she would divorce Zhan Xiaoting.

From then on, she just wanted to live a good life with An’an and didn’t want to cause any more trouble.

Seeing Tang Weiwei’s relaxed expression, for some reason, Zhan Xiaoting suddenly felt a lump in his throat, and his heart felt stuffy.

“Have a good rest!” He said with a cold face and turned to leave.

The next day.

Zhan Xiaoting did not come over. The chicken soup was sent over by Butler Wang.

Tang Weiwei patted her cheeks. She had been misled by An’an yesterday. How could Zhan Xiaoting have feelings for her?

She was not a fairy!

After drinking the soup, she followed the doctor’s instructions and took the medicine. There was a sleeping ingredient in the medicine, and she started to feel sleepy after taking the medicine.

She slept all the way until the evening and was finally woken up by Shen Qingtian.

“Tang Weiwei…” Shen Qingtian rushed into the ward. With a dark expression, she said angrily, “Why didn’t you tell me that something so serious happened to An’an?”

If it wasn’t for the fact that her manager had arranged a new job for her and she was about to start filming, she wouldn’t have made the decision to visit An’an before leaving A City. And then, she would not have found out what had happened in the past two days.

Seeing Shen Qingtian’s sullen face, Tang Weiwei shrank her neck.

“It’s just that it happened so suddenly that I panicked and forgot to tell you…” She said weakly.

“Why didn’t you tell me after that? Do you still treat me as your best friend?” Shen Qingtian asked, unable to calm down.

“Of course, of course. I’m just afraid that you’ll be worried.” Tang Weiwei touched her nose. This time, she was in the wrong.

Seeing that Shen Qingtian was still angry, she quickly pounced into her arms and said coquettishly, “Aiya, Qingtian, I know I was wrong. I won’t do it again.”

When Shen Qingtian saw her like this, no matter how angry she was, she could not vent it out.

However, she still felt that she should make her stand clear to prevent her bestie from making the same mistake again.

listen to me. You must tell me if anything happens to Anan in the future …

She said to Tang Weiwei seriously, “Although I didn’t give birth to An’an, he calls me Godmother. So, he’s considered half my son, right? You didn’t even tell me about something serious that happened to him. It makes me feel like you’re both treating me like an outsider.”

“We would never!” Tang Weiwei didn’t dare to smile anymore. She lowered her eyes and said, “When I gave birth to Anan, I had a hemorrhage. If you weren’t by my side and helped me, I might have lost both my life and my baby.”

“You…” Shen Qingtian was about to say something when…

Bang…

The door of the ward was suddenly pushed open. Zhan Xiaoting walked in and looked at Tang Weiwei with a heavy gaze.

Tang Weiwei’s face turned pale.

Oh no!

Her conversation with Shen Qingtian was overheard by Zhan Xiaoting!!!
