BXBX NOVEL Chapter 295: 295 Who is your daddy? _1
Xia Ye Zhao’s heart seemed to stop for a moment, “What’s your mother’s name?”
“Chang Danran.”
These four words felt like a knife, stabbing directly into Xia Ye Zhao’s unsuspecting heart.
When…when did she have a son?
Xia Ye Zhao’s hand gripping his phone turned white, his tone unconsciously hardened, “Who’s your father?”
“Bo Jingyu.”
Xia Ye Zhao’s face turned incredibly dark. Bo Jingyu, the doctor who treated his sister’s foster father?
Were they married?
The voice on the phone was a little boy’s, scarily smart, “Uncle, did you steal my mom’s phone? I put a tracker and a virus in my mom’s phone. If you don’t return the phone, it will explode!!!”
A twitch tugged at Xia Ye Zhao’s mouth, “Your mom went to the ward for a consultation.”
“Oh, you saved yourself, uncle. Bye!”
The little boy just hung up the phone.
Chang Danran stayed in the ward for a while, preparing herself mentally before returning to the doctor’s office. Xia Ye Zhao was nowhere to be seen. She paused slightly in surprise, not sure if she felt relieved or lost.
In her mind, all she could think of was Xia Ye Zhao’s words: “Half a son…”
It had started to rain next to the hospital, a torrential downpour, mirroring some people’s moods.
Xia Ye Zhao stood by the window in the ward, staring at the heavy rain outside, for some reason, he felt as if he had lost everything.
Ye Xingguang looked at the rain outside the window, not daring to go downstairs to buy lunch.
Bai Lanwu picked up an umbrella, “You stay here and take care of your father. I’ll buy lunch. Mr. Xia, what would you like to have for lunch?”
Xia Ye Zhao drew his eyes from the window, turned around and said, “Auntie, let me fetch it. What would you all like to eat?”
Seeing the heavy rain, Ye Xingguang didn’t bother being polite. She ordered a few things for lunch, told Xia Ye Zhao where to buy it, and then took the umbrella from her mother’s hand and handed it to him.
Xia Ye Zhao walked out with the umbrella. When he reached the elevator, it was just about to close, so he hurried over.
Chang Danran was standing in the elevator, hearing footsteps, she instinctively held down the elevator button. But when the footsteps got closer, so close that a tall man entered the elevator, she instantly regretted it.
As soon as Xia Ye Zhao stepped in and saw Chang Danran, his eyes dimmed.
Neither of them said anything, silently standing in the elevator waiting for the doors to close. But with only the two of them in the elevator, even their breaths fell into rhythm, leaving a profound and unforgettable memory, just like five years ago.
The nephrology department was on the fifth floor, and the elevator moved exceptionally slow from the fifth to the first floor.
When the elevator stopped at the third floor, a number of people got on. Both of them had to move back and ended up being squeezed next to each other.
Chang Danran was heading downstairs for lunch, so she had removed her white coat; wearing less clothing in the summer, their arms were almost touching, skin-to-skin. A rush of old memories came flooding back.
She moved her arm to maintain some distance, an intentional move that Xia Ye Zhao caught sight of. He said nothing, but his heart ached as if it were raining cats and dogs.
When the elevator reached the second floor, another group of people entered. A girl standing in front of Chang Danran didn’t watch her step and almost stepped on Chang Danran’s foot, but Xia Ye Zhao was quick to react. He shifted to the side, one hand against the elevator wall, preventing the girl from stepping backward.
