Ziyue remained unconscious on the night before New Year's Eve.
Jingshu and Xia had returned to their respective hometowns for New Year's Eve.
On the other hand, Chuan and Ke were busy with matters in the company and Lumiere Jade House. They rarely went to the hospital.
With Ziyue still unconscious in the hospital, it seemed no one would get to enjoy this New Year's Eve.
After working through the night, Chuan brought Zixi to the hospital the following morning.
All this while, he and the others took turns caring for Zixi, but Muchen never went home to see him even once.
Even his clothes were brought to the hospital by the servants.
Chuan did not let Zixi come to the hospital previously because Ziyue's condition was severe, and she had wounds on her face. He worried that Zixi would be scared.
Thankfully, the wounds on Ziyue's face were minor and only skin deep. Most of them recovered after around a month.
When Chuan went to see Zixi and told him he would bring him to see his parents, Zixi nodded obediently.
He was so compliant and mature despite being so young. Chuan could not help but feel sad for him.
Once they arrived at the hospital, Chuan carried Zixi to Ziyue's room and said, "You can go in. Your parents are in there."
He opened the door for Zixi.
Ziyue lay quietly on the hospital bed with an oxygen mask over her nostrils. Her body had all kinds of tubes connecting her to medical equipment. The sight was frightening to a small child.
Even so, Zixi only hesitated briefly before running into the room.
Although he was small, his every steps were firm and stable.
He went to the hospital bed and tip-toed to see Ziyue's face. However, he was still not tall enough to see her.
He instinctively turned to Chuan.
Chuan nodded at him. Zixi immediately understood what he meant and went to the other side of the bed. He stepped onto a stool, climbed onto the bed, and sat there. Then, he looked at Ziyue for a while and finally recognized her. "Mommy."
Muchen never spared Zixi a glance since he entered the room.
Chuan was worried.
If Zixi had not resembled Muchen so much that he looked like a mini version of Muchen, even Chuan would suspect that Zixi was not Muchen's biological son.
Otherwise, it did not make sense why Muchen treated him so coldly.
Seeing that Ziyue did not respond, Zixi turned to Muchen in confusion. "Daddy?"
Why is Mommy not responding?
He called out a few more times, but Ziyue remained unconscious. He pursed his lips and started crying.
"Boohoo… Mommy…"
The little boy's face was wet with tears. However, he seemed frightened by Muchen's indifference and did not dare to cry too loudly.
Muchen finally showed some reaction. He glanced at Zixi before looking away and pretended not to see him.
Why must he look like me? How nice it would be if he had resembled Ziyue.
Chuan stood at the door. His face turned stern as he saw Muchen's indifference, even as Zixi's nose and eyes turned red from crying.
He recalled Yunan's warning.
Coincidentally, Xiyi arrived to check Ziyue's condition. He frowned upon seeing the scene and walked in.
Then, he carried Zixi and asked, "Zixi, do you remember me?"
Zixi's cries receded slightly. He looked at Xiyi in confusion.
"I'm Mr. Mo."
Xiyi wiped the tears on Zixi's face as gently as he could to avoid hurting his soft skin.
Then, he placed Zixi in Muchen's arms and reprimanded, "He is Mrs. Qin and your son. Mrs. Qin will be angry and sad if she wakes up and sees that you neglected him."
