Second Marriage with the Alliance Marshal

The sound was suppressed at first, but suddenly broke out after a long period of suppression. In the end, she couldn’t hold back and burst into tears. “How could this be… He clearly said that he would treat you well… He promised me to treat you well…”

Xu Xinghe stood blankly in front of the hospital bed, at a loss.

He wanted to appease her emotions, and help her calm down, but he didn’t know what to do.

His lips moved, and his voice was a little hoarse: “I have lived a good life these years, don’t worry. “

The woman shook her head and opened her mouth several times to say something, but she couldn’t stop her tears.

After an unknown period of time, her emotions slowly calmed down, and words leaked out of her mouth intermittently: “I grew up in Pelpa, and smuggled to Capital Star when I became an adult… After arriving in Capital Star, because I never had a legal identity, I could only work in back alley jobs until I met your father by chance. He is a very rich businessman, and we had a good relationship for a while… But later, he had a new love…”

The woman’s tone paused, ignoring some matters, and then continued: “After I parted with him, it took more than a month before I found out that I was pregnant. My belly was getting bigger and bigger, and I couldn’t work anymore… With nowhere to go, I found your father again and hoped he would pay a little alimony… He was shocked, you know, the odds of a non-match getting pregnant are very, very low… After taking me to do a paternity test, he suddenly changed his attitude, said he wanted to marry me and let me stay. I believed it and lived in his villa until you were born, but after that—”

Tears flashed in the woman’s eyes. “Not even one month after you were born, he said he would give me a sum of money, asking me to leave, and saying that he would take care and raise you… I didn’t agree, and he threatened me, saying that I am a black household1as in illegal alien/resident with no financial ability. If I didn’t give the child to him, after breastfeeding, he threatened to go to court to sue me, depriving me of custody. The child would still be given to him, and I would still be sent back to Pelpa… I didn’t agree, thinking that it was good to be with you, even for one more day. As for the post-breastfeeding period, I wanted to talk about it after the breastfeeding period… But later, he changed his words and said that if the child develops a relationship with me, then he won’t… want the child anymore. Instead, he’d report me directly, and my child and I will be sent back to Pelpa… You know, where I was born, it is normal for people to not have enough food and clothing. Sometimes, nursing mothers will even be so hungry that they don’t even have milk… I couldn’t let you follow me back to that kind of place… I didn’t dare bet…”

The woman sobbed again at this point. “He said he would treat you well, raise you well… He clearly promised me this…”

Xu Xinghe looked at her, suddenly sad.

He wanted to tell his biological mother that Capital Star is not Pelpa Star. At a time when the birth rate of the Alliance is so low, based on Capital Star’s emphasis of protecting newborns, even a woman who smuggled in, once found pregnant, can live on Capital Star with her children.

That is to say, she could have actually stayed back then, and lived a good life on government subsidies.

His father lied to her, and the environment she grew up in and the education she received made her take his words for granted.

She might have considered taking the risk, but in the end, like she said, she didn’t dare gamble.

Given what happened, in the end, she still lost the bet.

He was sent to an orphanage, and she was sent back to Pelpa.

Xu Xinghe vaguely felt his palm tingling a little. When he lowered his head, he realized that his fingernails were almost embedded in his flesh.

He let go of his hand weakly, thinking to himself, what’s the point of saying all this to her now?

Her life was already full of lies and deceit. Is there a point to telling her in her last moments that she had been deceived again?

Xu Xinghe took a deep breath, slowed down his voice as much as possible, and comforted her: “Don’t worry, everything will be fine.”

She looked at him and stretched out her hand again.

This time Xu Xinghe did not hide, and gently held her hand back.

The woman knew that he was lying to her, but she still smiled and nodded. “Okay.”

There was a knock on the door, and several doctors and nurses walked into the room to conduct routine examinations and change medicines.

Her mood swings were too great just now, and she seemed to have exhausted all her strength. Before the check up was over, she couldn’t hold back and fell back into a drowsy stupor.

Xu Xinghe stayed in front of her bed for a long time. After sending away waves of doctors and nurses, he finally got up and lightly walked towards the door.

Ling Changfeng was standing outside the door of the ward, and he was already a little irritable.

He looked down at his watch – his little spouse had been in for almost an hour.

He started pacing back and forth outside the ward like a restless lion, and the low air pressure around him made the surrounding guards dare not speak out.

For some reason, the fact that his little spouse disappeared from his sight for nearly an hour seemed to suddenly become a little hard for him to accept.

Finally, the door was pushed open again.

Xu Xinghe walked out.

Ling Changfeng hurriedly stepped forward to meet him, looking down at the other party. “Are you alright?”

Xu Xinghe was in the midst of panicking.

He shook his head, raising his head, and asked Ling Changfeng: “Is there really no other way?”

Ling Changfeng was silent.

Although Qin Yuan often jokes that he is omnipotent, but in the face of life, old age, sickness and death, this omnipotent Alliance marshal is powerless.

Xu Xinghe got his answer in the ensuing silence.

There was a sudden sense of powerlessness in his heart.

Ling Changfeng looked at his little spouse with some worry.

The latter probably doesn’t know how bad his face looked at the moment.

Like a kitten with wet fur on a rainy day, weak and helpless, eliciting people to want to rub him in their arms and comfort him.

Marshal Ling has always been a man of action. At the thought, he immediately acted.

He opened his arms and embraced Xu Xinghe in his arms.

 

Now you know why XXH is an orphan – cause his dad is a d*ck.

I ️ how XXH and LCF both see the other one as cats (kitten vs. big cat).
