After hanging up the phone, Louis silently stared at a spot in the room, his lips pursed tightly without saying a word. If it weren't for losing Jane that one time, he didn't think he would have realized how important she was to him.
Martha said that loving someone meant loving everything about them, wishing their happiness and joy instead of destroying them. As he thought about this, Louis lowered his gaze and his blue eyes looked like turbulent seawater - gloomy and confused.
He admitted that when he saw Jane with another man's child, he had wanted to destroy everything and make the child disappear forever. But at the same time, he knew the importance of that child to Jane.
If he did something like that, Louis was sure Jane would leave him without hesitation. And now, he couldn't bear for her to leave him again.
That night, Louis sat quietly on the couch with an icy aura surrounding him. In the morning after not sleeping all night long, Louis had one of his guards bring him clean clothes and went out to buy sandwiches which were liked by Vivian. He carefully dressed up himself before heading towards the old hospital room where Jane was staying.
But when standing outside of her room door, he hesitated because he didn't know how to face her child inside. He knew deep down inside himself there was no way for him to treat this child as if she were his own daughter but this child truly belonged to Jane biologically .
Louis stood at the door with his lips tightly pursed.
Just then, the door suddenly opened from inside of hospital room, and standing in front of Louis was a shocked-looking Jane .
"Louis?"
The man suddenly saw his beloved woman in front of him and immediately froze on spot. After a moment's pause, his lips lightly parted as he hoarsely called out, "Jane."
Jane noticed what breakfast food item Louis held in hand while entering into hospital ward, so she moved aside slightly gesturing towards empty space beside herself. "Come on in."
A hint of confusion flashed through Louis' blue eyes but ultimately he decided to walk into hospital ward anyway. Once inside, Jane closed the door behind them before asking softly, "What's wrong?"
In past times whenever she saw this man, he looked aloof and high above the masses, but today she noticed loneliness on his face.
"What happened?" Jane thought back to the day Louis left. Even though Vivian didn't tell her what happened that day, she could feel from the broken phone on the ground that Louis was very angry that day.
Louis put down his breakfast and looked at the little girl lying asleep in bed with deep eyes.
His first reaction was shock, but he soon realized that the little girl didn't tell Jane what happened that day. Otherwise, Jane wouldn't be so calm facing him now.
Jane stood in front of him and waited for a response for a while, but when she didn't hear anything, she muttered, "Forget it, if you don't want to say it, then forget it."
Louis reached out and pulled Jane to sit next to him. His low voice sounded particularly pleasant. "I brought breakfast. Do you want some?"
When Jane heard this, her attention immediately shifted. "What did you bring?"
"Sandwiches, which you love," Louis replied gently. But when his gaze fell on the girl on the hospital bed beside them, he still felt uneasy.
He kept telling himself that he liked Jane and should learn to like everything she likes... but he still minded the presence of that man.
Jane's eyes brightened as she said happily: "Thank you." She picked up one of Xiaolongbao from where Louis had placed them on table and started eating.
Soon after starting eating however, she noticed Louis staring at her intently which made her hesitate before asking, "Do you want some too?"
"Sure," replied Louis with a much better mood than earlier as he held onto Jane's slender wrist and pulled it towards himself.
