Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

That year, she endured a lot of pain to give birth to that child.

She was really grateful to god because she never expected a reunion in this life. Her tears dripped down and fell on the child’s pale face.

Li Lei was scared. He struggled to get out of bed and hugged her tightly. “Xiao Ling, what happened to you? If something happened, tell me. With me here, no matter what happens, I will help you!” He knew that he was weak, but he stubbornly gave her support. His heart was about to break seeing her cry like this.

Xia Ling continued to cry. Finally, in between sobs, she said, “Shaohui... Shaohui is my child. He’s my biological child...”

Li Lei was stunned. “What?”

Xia Ling cried and repeated. “He’s my biological child! The child from four years ago! He’s back again. Back to my side...”

Her words were magnified in Li Lei’s heart like thunder on a sunny day.

Four years ago, her child with Pei Ziheng was still alive?

The news was too sudden. Li Lei did not know if he should be happy or dejected.

Looking at the girl crying in happiness, he felt that he shouldn’t dampen her spirits. How was it not a happy thing? He should congratulate her. The child’s return was an enormous piece of good news for her since she could not get pregnant.

Even though this child’s father was Pei Ziheng.

Li Lei’s voice was choppy as he whispered, “Congratulations.”

Xia Ling did not realize his hidden thoughts. She was completely immersed in happiness. Looking at her sleeping child greedily, she mumbled, “This child did not grow up by my side. After so many years, I wonder how much he suffered. Luckily, he’s finally back. I will definitely make it up to him.”

In reality, she treated him well even when she did not know he was her own child.

She only said this now because she was elated.

Looking at how joyful she was, Li Lei’s feelings were complicated. However, although he was dispirited, he still tried to appear happy for her. This was good news, right? Xiao Ling’s happiness was more important than anything else. If the heavens gave her another chance, he would still choose to save the child. No, wait! Save the child?

He used his blood to save this child!

Suddenly, Li Lei realized this problem. He knew his blood type, but what about Pei Ziheng’s? It could not be so coincidental that Pei Ziheng also had a special blood type?

His breathing stagnated. “Xiao Ling, who is this child’s father?”

Startled, Xia Ling finally remembered that the man in front of her was the child’s real father. That year, she did not tell him the truth because she thought her child was already dead and he did not want him to be upset. However, now, the child was alive. If Li Lei knew that the child was his, he would not be upset.

Thus, Xia Ling lifted her head and looked at him. “Shaohui is your biological son, not Pei Ziheng’s.”

Li Lei’s heart skipped a bit. He doubted his own hearing. “What?”

Xia Ling did not know whether to laugh or cry. “Shaohui is your son.”

Li Lei finally heard her clearly. Initially, he did not know if he was just hanging on to an unclear hope, but he did not expect Xiao Ling to give him such a huge surprise.

He had a son!

This son was his biological son!

At once, Li Lei was exuberant. He felt that he was in a dream. “Shaohui is my son? Biological son?” As he spoke, he looked at the child on the bed.

The small child remained in a deep sleep. His fat cheeks were a little pale, but he still looked cute.

Li Lei could not get enough of him. Looking at the sleeping child, he criticized himself. How did he not realize it after interacting with him for so long? Although Shaohui did not really look like him, after looking at him closely, he could see a little resemblance. The child’s skin was a little dark and did have some mixed blood characteristics. These were all inherited from him.

Li Lei half knelt in front of the hospital bed and tightly held Shaohui’s hand. “Shaohui, my Shaohui.”

Looking at the father and son, Xia Ling was even happier. The sad thing was she thought that everything she endured and suffered to give birth to this child would go to waste as the child died after a hundred days. This sort of sadness exhausted her after she gave it her all.

However, now, she was in a blissful state. Her child finally came back to her.

Everything she did that year was worth it.

Their family of three had finally reunited.

Li Lei looked at the child carefully for a long time. He got up and gave Xia Ling a tight hug. “Xiao Ling.” He said, “You gave birth to a son for me. You actually gave birth to a son for me... Why didn’t you tell me?”

Xia Ling leaned her head on his shoulder and her tears fell on his sleeve.

She did not say anything, and Li Lei did not need her answer. That was because he understood immediately. “That year, you were with Pei Ziheng. If he found out that you were pregnant with my child, he would definitely force you to abort it, am I right? That’s why you had to come up with a plan and lie that your child was his.”

She cried even harder as if someone finally understood her grievances.

She cried as she spoke, “It’s all your fault. It’s all your fault...” She blamed him for being on the verge of death after the paragliding incident such that she was forced to return to Pei Ziheng’s side. It was his fault for not saving her, which was why she had to protect her child under the eyes of a devil. It was his fault that she loved him like a moth flying to a flame...

Li Lei hugged her even tighter. “It’s all my fault. Xiao Ling, you’ve suffered.” At this time, he felt immense guilt. Oh god, what exactly did she do that year? He left his woman and child in such a dangerous place where they had to survive under the watch of a devil-like and vicious man.

Li Lei was afraid that if his child really died, he would never be able to forgive himself in this life.

He said to Xia Ling, “In the future, let me protect you two.” He had not recovered yet and was very weak. He was not very confident when he said those words, but his chest felt very warm as he carefully hugged her.

He had a son now. A biological son. He had a son with his beloved woman.

A large smile appeared on Li Lei’s face unknowingly. At this time, he felt that his life was complete.

Xia Ling leaned in his arms for some time before saying, “I’m sorry for hiding this from you for so long.”

Li Lei lifted her face. Slowly, he kissed her gently and deeply. Some words did not need to be said. Like love, an expression or an action was enough to each other know what they thought.

He never blamed her before.

No matter what she did, how could he blame her?

Li Lei always thought that he did a lot for her. However, compared to what she did to give birth to their child in such a harsh environment, he felt that everything he did was not worth mentioning.
