Chapter 878: He Actually Waited Downstairs All Night?!
"..." Song Yinyin was at a loss for words, unable to say anything.
To be honest, she was indeed very curious.
Since her mother had kept that light green sweater hidden away for over twenty years, perhaps she still loved President Shi Mai’er.
If she still loved him, why did they part ways?
Was it because something happened between her and President Shi Mai’er?
All these confusions kept swirling in her mind, unable to be dismissed. The more she suppressed them, the more she wanted to unravel the mystery.
Seeing her frowning silently yet seeming deep in thought, Lu Jihan knew his persuasion was working, so he cautiously guided her.
"Moreover, the DNA test report from President Shi Mai’er was only done a few days ago. Before this, he didn’t even know about your existence. Don’t you find this puzzling? Don’t you want to know what’s really going on?"
"..."
"Maybe you can stubbornly say now that you don’t want to know, but what if you regret it after many years have passed?"
Song Yinyin pressed her lips tightly together, her hands clenched into fists.
Her husband, the man she lived with day and night, truly knew her the best, leaving her at a loss for words.
Indeed, she wanted to know the truth more than anyone else.
If she turned away today, she might never have the chance to learn the truth of those years. She might regret it later on!
Thinking of this, Song Yinyin took a deep breath, silently closed her eyes, and said, "Alright, let’s go!"
Lu Jihan’s lips curved into a slight smile, raising his hand to gently stroke her cheek.
This gesture seemed to encourage her, suggesting that no matter what happened next, no matter what the truth was, there was nothing to fear.
She looked into his eyes and nodded slightly.
Leaving their son Song Dabai in the care of Lu Jinyan and Wen Duoduo, the couple rushed to the temporary President’s Mansion.
Only upon arrival did they learn that President Shi Mai’er’s injured leg had become inflamed again, causing him to develop a persistent high fever.
When they arrived, he was undergoing an IV infusion, and the cold medicine was flowing into his body through the tube. His face was ashen, looking haggard and worn.
It had only been a day since they last saw him, but he seemed to have aged several years.
Shana, with red eyes, said, "It’s all my fault. If I hadn’t taken that test report to the airport lounge yesterday, if I hadn’t revealed that Dad is your biological father, Dad... he wouldn’t have stayed in the hotel lobby all night waiting."
Song Yinyin was stunned.
"What did you say, the President... waited all night in the lobby of the hotel where we were staying?"
Not only Song Yinyin, but even Lu Jihan was taken aback.
It turned out that when President Shi Mai’er called him last night, he was actually downstairs in the hotel.
Given that his leg hadn’t fully healed, not resting properly for one night directly led to wound infection and inflammation.
When the driver took him back to the temporary President’s Mansion, Shana found that he had already developed a high fever.
"It’s all my fault... I was too rash. I shouldn’t have exposed that secret. It’s my fault, boo hoo hoo..."
Shana lay beside President Shi Mai’er, crying while blaming herself with regret.
She used the back of her hand to wipe away the tears at the corners of her eyes, but the more she wiped, the more tears fell, like a river overflowing its banks and unable to be stopped.
Seeing this, Song Yinyin felt a pang in her heart.
She moved a chair closer and sat down next to the hospital bed.
It was at this moment that she finally looked directly at President Shi Mai’er for the first time.
