Because I Cannot Hurt You

City X Hospital.

Caihong opened the door to the private ward and quietly stepped in. With gentle steps, she walked towards the bed and smiled at Xiaosi. She took out the last day's flowers from the vase and put fresh ones in them.

"How are you, Xiaosi?"

No response. The monitor showed his heartbeat, and the machines beeped with the readings.

Caihong went on. "You know Yunru got a medal for his bravery. He is also promoted. He is Chief Soo Yunru now. Naturally, the very first one to demand a party is Liang only," she chuckled. "But Yunru said we will only have a party once you wake up. It won't be fun if you are not a part of it."

Xiaosi stayed quiet.

"Then I heard that Zhiyuan gave a mind-blowing surprise to Xinyi on her birthday. Oh by the way, Yunru's commemoration ceremony was organized by Zizi. The Han siblings duo went full on this time. I am so happy for them."

She gently held his hand in hers. "Dad is also doing well. Though I feel that sometimes he looks lost...You know Dad, right? He will never share his problems with me, so I would only have to drag him out and make him confess," she sighed. "Lei Shu and Lei Shing have become so responsible too. Now, they have completely taken charge of Lei Exports and are handling their company together. Hehe, you will feel so proud of them if you see them work. They look exactly like you when they are so serious.

And of course, you don't have to worry about S3. Everything is going smoothly, and I promise I won't let you bear even a single cent worth of loss. S3 will be the same as it was before you went to sleep," she pouted, "But honestly, all employees are missing you. It's when I took over the position, I experienced how much your employees love you. I feel juuuuuuust a tiny bit jealous. Why are you so awesome? Especially the women coworkers."

Caihong narrowed her eyes. "I must say, Mr. Zhu. You have charmed quite a lot of women. You should see them cry for you. I don't even feel as if I am your wife anymore. Tell me honestly. Have you opened a harem behind my back? So many women are lovelorn for you. I need to give you a good lecture once you wake up. Probably give you some tips to maintain your distance from them too…"

She clapped her hand once in delight. "Oh, I forgot to tell you one important thing! Chyou ranked first in her class tests. Isn't our daughter awesome? She is so smart like you. You know, I definitely feel that she will open her own company in the future. She is so talented. She is born to be a leader, haha. Chyou was eager to share this good news with you, but she has a last test tomorrow. So, your daughter is studying hard. Won't you wake up to wish her all the best?"

No response.

Caihong sighed. She rested her head on his hand and smiled. "It's okay. We will wait for you." Then she grumbled. "But I do want to give Chyou a little brother too. So, don't make us wait for long…I know Chyou told me to be patient. But I am selfish. I want to hog you all by myself as soon as possible."

"Dada…"

Caihong frowned as she heard a familiar voice, crying outside the ward.

"Dada...Dada…"

She slowly widened her eyes.

Why does it sound like Siying is crying?

Caihong quickly stepped out and saw the commotion happening in the corridor. She was stunned, seeing Siying crying.

"Siying?" 

Siying raised his head and widened his eyes upon meeting Caihong. "A-Aunt…"

Caihong rushed to his side and hugged him. "Aiya, why is my Siying crying?" She wiped the tears off his cheeks.

Siying was heavily gasping and unable to stop crying. He hugged her chest and sobbed. He buried his face in her chest. "Dada...Dada hurt…"

Caihong stiffened. "Zhiyuan? Something happened to Zhiyuan?"

The nurse beside him said, "Yes, Mrs. Zhu. Mr. Han and his son had an accident, and Mr. Han got hurt while protecting Siying."

"What? Accident!?"

She quickly checked up on Siying from head to toe. "Are you hurt, Siying?"

He shook his head.

She was relieved. She looked up at the nurse. "And Zhiyuan? How is Zhiyuan?"

"He has a few injuries on his head from the impact. Rest assured. The doctor has said that they are not serious."

"Thank God... Xinyi? Did you inform his wife?"

"Yes, Mrs. Zhu. The Han family is on their way."

Caihong nodded. "I wait for them here. You can leave. Until then, I will look after Siying."

The nurse promptly left. Caihong picked Siying in her arms and took a seat with him on her lap. "Don't cry, Siying. You heard the nurse, right? Your Dada is alright."

Siying clutched her dress. "Dada hurt because of me."

"No," she firmly said, "He is your Dada. Of course, he will protect you from any harm. It's what all parents do. So, you won't blame yourself, okay?"

Siying pursed his lips.

Caihong sighed. Then she got an idea. "Hey, why don't I show you some of Chyou's pictures? They are really funny, haha. Wait a sec."

Caihong took out her phone and pulled Siying closer. She swiped left. "See? Chyou is eating ice-cream and just look at her mouth. All smudged with chocolate."

Siying softly giggled.

"And then...see her wearing dog ears. Chyou even woofed like a dog that day haha."

Siying laughed. "Scooby Doo."

"Yup. She looks like Sccoby Doo!"

She swiped more such pictures.

"Ah, ah!" Siying grabbed her hand and complained.

"What happened?"

"The other picture."

Caihong swiped back and said, "Oh, this one. She is my Mom."

Siying stared at the picture hard. "Same!"

"Ah? What same?"

Siying puckered his lips.. "Same Aunty in the other car today that hit Dada and me."
