I became the matchmaker between my father and wife - Chapter 189

As we got closer to the hospital, my feelings grew increasingly complicated. I didn't know which persona I should present when facing my parents-in-law and Xiaoying. Leng Bing Shuang didn't ride in the same car as me; otherwise, I might have been able to consult her. I don't know why, but even though we'd only known each other for two short days, I couldn't help but feel a sense of dependence and trust towards her.
When we arrived, Leng Bing Shuang and I went into the hospital together. I thought Leng Bing Shuang would take me directly to Xiao Ying's ward, but instead, she took Hao Hao and me to an office in the hospital. The office looked quite high-end and luxurious. At that moment, I was still worried about Xiao Ying. Although I had wanted to escape before, I didn't care about that anymore.
"You and Hao Hao wait here for a while..." Leng Bing Shuang said to me, then turned and walked away. I looked at Leng Bing Shuang's back, opened my mouth but couldn't say anything for a long time. Since she told me to wait, then I would wait.
"Click..." As the office door opened again, Hao Hao and I turned our gazes toward the doorway. I had expected Leng Bing Shuang to come in, but when I saw the two people who entered, I was stunned and speechless. At that moment, the expression on my face was extremely complicated.
"Grandma, Grandpa..." Hao Hao, with his sharp eyes, rushed over as soon as he saw his parents-in-law. The two elderly people glanced at me, then squatted down and hugged Hao Hao tightly. The two elderly people only had one daughter, Xiao Ying, and no sons. To them, Hao Hao was both their grandson and their great-grandson. The bond between grandparents and grandchildren is undeniable. After being separated for so many days, you can imagine how much the two elderly people missed Hao Hao.
"Come on, Hao Hao, come out and play with Auntie for a while..." Leng Bing Shuang walked in at this moment, then took Hao Hao's hand and walked out. Before closing the door, she gently nodded to me.
Looking at my parents-in-law, their eyes brimming with tears, I felt incredibly conflicted and resentful. I couldn't face them. Whatever the reason, I had abandoned them, abandoned Xiaoying, abandoned Aunt Zhang and my father, abandoned everyone. At that moment, I felt like a coward and a deserter. My parents-in-law's kindness to me was beyond reproach. I could say I owed them no less than my own parents, and I always held them in the same esteem as my own.
"Thump..." I didn't dare face my parents-in-law at that moment, and was struggling and thinking with my head down, but I was interrupted by two muffled thuds. I looked up reflexively and found my parents-in-law, two elderly people who were close to sixty years old, kneeling on the floor in front of me. The office floor was tiled, and the two elderly people with bad legs just knelt down straight and solidly. However, the two elderly people did not care about the pain and just knelt in front of me, a junior.
"Mom and Dad... what are you doing? I'll be struck by lightning if you do this..." I jumped up from the sofa as if my pants were on fire and rushed to help the two elderly people. But I couldn't help both of them by myself. I helped my father-in-law up, but my mother-in-law was kneeling. I helped my mother-in-law up, but my father-in-law knelt down. In the end, I had no choice but to kneel down as well, facing the two elderly people.
“Jincheng, we’re so sorry. Xiaoying has done something so disgraceful to the family; we didn’t raise her well. We apologize on her behalf. As the older generation, we all know that a woman who does such a thing doesn’t deserve forgiveness. Even as strangers, we support your divorce from Xiaoying. You did nothing wrong; the fault lies with our Xiaoying…” My mother-in-law said, crying, but her words were like thorns, piercing my heart. Was the fault solely with Xiaoying? If I thought about it carefully, it all started with me; I should be the culprit. Aunt Zhang is gone, and now my parents-in-law are like this. Looking at my parents-in-law’s hair, which had turned quite gray in the past few days, tears welled up in my eyes, my heart filled with regret and self-blame.
"Mom and Dad, don't say that. You're not wrong. The one who's wrong is me. I didn't take good care of Xiaoying. I didn't give Xiaoying enough love. It's really not your fault..." At this moment, I could only put all the blame on myself. In fact, that was indeed the case. But I couldn't say it too clearly. I couldn't say that I was the one who planned and facilitated Xiaoying's affair in the beginning, could I?
“Jincheng, I know your mother and I shouldn’t ask anything of you. As a man, I support your divorce in my heart. I know how it feels to have your wife betray you. If I were you, I would make the same choice. But as a father, your mother and I beg you, please save Xiaoying, save our only daughter. I know our request is a bit excessive, but as long as you can save her, we are willing to agree to any request you make, as long as we can do it. We will give you all our assets, even our retirement savings. We will definitely take good care of Xiaoying from now on. We are willing to pay any price to get your forgiveness for Xiaoying. Please understand the heart of a parent…” Xiaoying’s father, a retired cadre, had lost his usual dignity and abandoned all his pride, pleading for his daughter. I knew very well what they meant by asking me to save Xiaoying: they wanted me to get back together with Xiaoying. Only in this way would Xiaoying have the motivation to continue living.
"Okay, okay... Mom and Dad, I promise you, please get up, there's no need for this..." I was completely flustered. My two most respected elders kneeling before me was something I never imagined. Since I decided to come back, I wanted to save this family. All I wanted now was for my parents to get up quickly. Seeing them like this, my heart ached terribly.
After I agreed, the two elderly people stood up, wiping away their tears and gently moving their legs. I could only imagine how painful that kneeling must have been. My parents-in-law both suffer from rheumatism and bone disease; how much willpower did it take for them to kneel for so long? They were willing to do anything for their daughter and family.
"I'll go see her... You two sit here for a while..." I said, helping the two elderly people up. Seeing their slightly trembling knees, I couldn't bear to let them follow me.
“We’ll go with you. You go in by yourself. Your father and I will stay outside…” My father-in-law helped my mother-in-law up and then followed me. When I walked out of the office, I saw Leng Bing Shuang leading Hao Hao in the corridor. I walked over to Leng and took Hao Hao from her. Then, led by Leng Bing Shuang, we walked towards Xiao Ying’s ward.
When we reached the ward, Leng Bing Shuang and my parents-in-law were standing at the door. I led Hao Hao inside, and as soon as I entered, I saw a woman sitting on the bed, but I didn't recognize her. Realizing I had gone to the wrong room, I quickly backed out, only glancing at the woman briefly.
"We've gone to the wrong room..." I quickly asked Leng Bing Shuang after leaving.
“We didn’t go to the wrong room…this is the one…” Leng Bing Shuang sighed, then said with certainty, while her parents-in-law, standing beside her, could no longer hold back their tears and shed them again. I suddenly realized something and quickly led Hao Hao back into that high-end ward.
I slowly approached the woman. Her hair was disheveled, and her face was pale. Her once beautiful long hair was now messy, covering most of her face. She was sitting on the hospital bed, playing with her hair. One hand kept twirling her sideburns, while the other hand picked up a strand of hair, put it to her mouth, and then blew on it, seemingly having a great time.
As I drew closer, I finally saw clearly that it was Xiaoying. However, apart from her former features, she had lost all her former beauty and charm. Her face was bloodless, frighteningly pale, her hair was disheveled, and her once expressive eyes had lost all color, appearing utterly empty. She looked like a madwoman. What had happened? How could someone change like this in just one week? Hearing someone enter the ward, she didn't even glance at them. I wasn't the only one who didn't recognize her; even Hao Hao didn't recognize this woman as his mother.
As Hao Hao and I slowly approached, Xiao Ying seemed to sense something. Her hands stopped moving, and she slowly turned her head. She had been looking down, but as her gaze shifted, she first saw Hao Hao, who was shorter than me. Upon seeing Hao Hao, a flicker of lifelessness and light returned to her previously dull and empty eyes. Her gaze then rose, finally landing on me, and her eyes instantly regained some brightness. Her hands, which had been playing with her hair, were now trembling, and her lips were trembling as she looked at me, then at Hao Hao, her eyes alternating between clarity and confusion, as if her mind hadn't quite processed what she was seeing. On the way back, Leng Bing Shuang had told me that although Xiao Ying's life had been saved, the drugs had severely damaged her brain and body, and now it seemed much more serious than Leng Bing Shuang had described.
"Xiaoying, it's me, it's Jincheng, I'm back..." I was standing in front of the hospital bed. Haohao seemed to realize that this woman looked like his mother. He wasn't tall enough, but he still climbed up to the hospital room on his own. Then he lay down in front of Xiaoying and stared at her intently with his small eyes.
"Mommy, it's Mommy! Mommy, what's wrong? Are you sick?" Hao Hao, with the innocence and naivety of a child, seemed unaffected by any worries. He knelt in front of Xiao Ying, staring intently at her, his little face full of concern.
"Wah..." Hearing Hao Hao and me call out, Xiao Ying, who had lost all her spirit and energy, suddenly had a violent surge of emotion in her eyes, and finally burst into tears. She rushed to Hao Hao, who was closest to her, and hugged him tightly, refusing to let go. Feeling her son's body temperature and his breath, she had longed for all of this for so long, as if she had finally regained what she cherished most.
Seeing Xiaoying like this, my mind was filled with nothing but heartache and self-blame. Why should I blame Xiaoying for everything? We've been husband and wife for a day, and I never imagined Xiaoying would be like this. I have to save her. I have to help her regain her beauty and elegance.
I walked over to Xiaoying and slowly pulled her and Haohao into my arms. Xiaoying also put one arm around my waist. At that moment, her ghostly face lifted up, and her eyes, which I couldn't look directly at, revealed helplessness and hope. She just stared at me, and I couldn't meet her gaze. At that moment, I believed that Xiaoying loved me, loved this family, and that Haohao and I were more important to her than her own life.
As the three of us were embracing, I suddenly noticed Xiaoying's body begin to tremble violently. Just then, a doctor and a nurse rushed in, quickly inserted an injection into Xiaoying's arm—the whole process was so clean and efficient that I didn't even have time to react. Gradually, Xiaoying calmed down, released her grip on me and Haohao, and slowly closed her eyes and lay down.
"Excuse me, sir, it's not that we're disturbing you, but the patient is very emotionally unstable right now. Seeing you has already made her extremely agitated, and she seemed to be on the verge of losing control just now, so we can only help her calm down first and let her accept it little by little, without giving her too much stimulation..." The doctor seemed to have been instructed by Leng Bingshuang. He was extremely respectful to me and explained with a smile after giving Xiaoying the injection. It was only then that I realized that the doctor had just given Xiaoying a sedative.
Seeing that Xiaoying had calmed down, even though she had been given a sedative, she hadn't fallen asleep and seemed to still be conscious. She lay there with her eyes half-open, her mouth opening and closing as if she wanted to say something to me. Looking into my once bright and expressive eyes, tears were streaming down her face. Perhaps at this moment, she could only use her tears to explain something to me...
