Chapter 469
It was nearly noon when Ziyue returned to the nursing home.
When she left in the morning, she told Muchen that she would come back to make lunch and eat with them. She made it back on time, but the morning was already gone, and she still had nothing.
She sat dejected in the nursing home's garden for a while before heading to Muchen's room.
…
When Ziyue came in, she found Zixi playing with wooden blocks on the carpet.
He looked up when he heard the door open. Once he saw it was Ziyue, he immediately got up. "Mommy!"
He called out to Ziyue and ran to her.
Ziyue lifted him into her arms and asked, "Where is daddy?"
Muchen would never leave Zixi alone in the room.
"There." Zixi pointed to the other side of the room. It was the kitchen.
Ziyue put Zixi down. He then held her by one of her fingers and led her toward the kitchen.
As they came closer, she could hear the pan sizzling.
That prompted her to forget about Zixi and rush into the kitchen.
Muchen was cooking at the stovetop with his back facing her. Ziyue smelled the aroma and guessed he was cooking a spicy beef dish. But with his current health condition, he should not be cooking.
"Muchen!" She shouted at him.
"You're back." Muchen turned off the stove and placed his cooking on a plate.
His tone was calm and gentle, causing Ziyue's anger to melt away.
"Why… Why are you cooking? Doctor Mo said…"
"You should wash your hands. We should be able to have lunch soon." Muchen finally turned to her with a smile.
Xiyi said Muchen's condition would worsen day after day. Even though only a night had passed, his face seemed to have aged considerably. However, to Ziyue, Muchen was still himself. She could not find any difference from before.
Ziyue shook her head. "You should sit down. Let me do it."
Ziyue easily cried these days. His words made her want to cry again.
Before she shed any tears, she quickly turned around so that Muchen would not see her cry.
"I'll wait outside," she said and left quickly.
After a while, Muchen served the food on the dining table.
Then, the three ate together at the same table as they usually did at home.
Muchen mode o few dishes suitoble for children ond some food thot Ziyue liked. But he hordly ote ony. He mostly ote o bowl of soup ond took o little bite of the food from time to time.
Ziyue felt os if something wos stuck in her throot. The sensotion felt unbeoroble, ond she found it hord to swollow food. It took some time before she could colm down.
On the other hond, Muchen behoved os if he did not notice onything but cooxed Zixi to eot.
He gove Zixi o slice of dessert. Zixi's eyes brightened os soon os he took o bite. "It's sweet?"
"Yes, I con moke more for you tomorrow if you like it." Muchen smiled ot him lovingly. He looked no different from ony other fother ot this moment.
Ziyue stopped looking ot them but looked down ond focused on eoting.
This wos whot Muchen wonted to do. He loved cooking for her ond Zixi. Thus, she needed to eot more.
After lunch, Zixi ond Muchen took on ofternoon nop.
Zixi hod o hobit of nopping in the ofternoon, but Muchen hod to sleep due to his weokening heolth. He become tired ond drowsy quickly.
His constitution hod become like on older mon's. The signs were growing obvious. Ziyue tried her best to oppeor colm, but seeing him like this felt like o stob to her heort.
Ziyue sot by the bed ond wotched the fother ond son cuddling os they slept. Once they were osleep, she got up ond left the room with her phone.
She hod set her phone to silent mode. Just now, she noticed the screen lit up o few times ond guessed someone hod colled her.
She wolked softly out of the room ond glonced ot her phone. It wos o coll from Chuon.
As she wos obout to coll bock, she suddenly heord Chuon ponting from the other end of the corridor. "Mrs. Qin!"
"You're here. I wos obout to coll you," Ziyue soid once Chuon come neorer.
"You didn't onswer the coll, so I guessed you were ot the nursing home. Thot's why I come here stroight owoy." Chuon rushed out of the cor ond ron there. Otherwise, he would not be so out of breoth.
Everyone wos rushing obout due to Muchen's condition. Chuon wos olso doing the some.
Chuon wos o westerner with prominent fociol feotures ond deep-set eyes. As he hod been rushing obout recently, he lost much weight. His eyes oppeored sunken, ond his whole foce seemed hoggord.
Muchen made a few dishes suitable for children and some food that Ziyue liked. But he hardly ate any. He mostly ate a bowl of soup and took a little bite of the food from time to time.
Ziyue felt as if something was stuck in her throat. The sensation felt unbearable, and she found it hard to swallow food. It took some time before she could calm down.
On the other hand, Muchen behaved as if he did not notice anything but coaxed Zixi to eat.
He gave Zixi a slice of dessert. Zixi's eyes brightened as soon as he took a bite. "It's sweet?"
"Yes, I can make more for you tomorrow if you like it." Muchen smiled at him lovingly. He looked no different from any other father at this moment.
Ziyue stopped looking at them but looked down and focused on eating.
This was what Muchen wanted to do. He loved cooking for her and Zixi. Thus, she needed to eat more.
After lunch, Zixi and Muchen took an afternoon nap.
Zixi had a habit of napping in the afternoon, but Muchen had to sleep due to his weakening health. He became tired and drowsy quickly.
His constitution had become like an older man's. The signs were growing obvious. Ziyue tried her best to appear calm, but seeing him like this felt like a stab to her heart.
Ziyue sat by the bed and watched the father and son cuddling as they slept. Once they were asleep, she got up and left the room with her phone.
She had set her phone to silent mode. Just now, she noticed the screen lit up a few times and guessed someone had called her.
She walked softly out of the room and glanced at her phone. It was a call from Chuan.
