Qiao Nuo watched Qiao Chen in the hospital room. He sat quietly beside their father, carefully arranging his clothes, tucking him in, and smoothing his hair.
As he did these things, Qiao Chen moved cautiously, afraid of disturbing their father.
In that moment, Qiao Nuo felt her heart tugged painfully, and the next second, she reached for Jin Chengyan.
She believed that Qiao Chen wouldn’t do anything reckless; he probably just needed a chance to be alone with their father.
Jin Chengyan looked at Qiao Nuo in surprise, but when he saw Qiao Chen's actions in the room, he understood.
It must have been around that time when their grandmother passed away. He had been in school when the driver took him home. Everyone else had rushed to see her off one last time, but he arrived only to find her eyes closed.
Back then, he hadn’t been as composed as Qiao Chen was now. In the end, it was the household staff who pulled him back to his room and locked him inside to prevent any incidents.
Jin Chengyan knew the feeling of losing a loved one. He turned to look at Qiao Nuo and saw that she was just as he imagined—her spirits were low, and she was forcing herself to hold it together. Her bitten lip was turning pale.
“Come here, Qiao Nuo,” he said, opening his arms.
He knew that what Qiao Nuo needed right now was a warm embrace, something to shield her from the coldness of the world that remained.
Qiao Nuo looked at his broad embrace. Yes, she was feeling very sad and distressed; she longed for a warm place to soak up some sunlight. She stepped forward and wrapped her arms around Jin Chengyan's waist.
She buried her head in his chest, knowing that only in this way could her cries go unheard, and only like this could others not see her weakness.
Jin Chengyan could clearly feel the person in his arms trembling all over due to the loss of control over her emotions. She struggled to keep herself together, not letting out a sound, but he felt the fabric of his shirt dampening against his chest.
He gently patted Qiao Nuo's back, offering her silent comfort.
At that moment, Huo Yawen rushed over after getting the keys from the nurse, eager to tell Qiao Nuo that he had them. However, when he arrived, he saw Qiao Nuo in another man's embrace.
She clung tightly to his waist, burying her head against his chest, her body shaking, while the man soothingly patted her back.
Unexplainably, Huo Yawen felt that Qiao Nuo looked peaceful in that man's arms, as if she was meant to be there.
What was the relationship between Qiao Nuo and this man?
It was just a fleeting thought. Huo Yawen realized he shouldn’t dwell on Qiao Nuo's relationship with that man; it was Qiao Chen in the hospital room who was the priority!
He walked over confidently and cleared his throat.
Qiao Nuo seemed startled and finally pulled away from Jin Chengyan's embrace, wiping away her tears with her back turned to both men.
Jin Chengyan also released Qiao Nuo, casting a deep glance at her before shifting his focus to Huo Yawen.
He remembered that it was this Male Doctor who had just held Qiao Nuo.
“I have brought the key,” Huo Yawen said, his gaze drifting past Jin Chengyan to land on Qiao Nuo.
Qiao Nuo turned around, the traces of tears on her face already gone. “No need, let Qiao Chen spend some time alone with Dad. He will figure things out; he’s not a child anymore.”
As soon as Qiao Nuo finished speaking, silence enveloped the room.
She looked at Qiao Chen inside the ward. He was very quiet, but since he had his back to her, she couldn’t see the expression on his face.
Because Qiao Nuo was facing away from Huo Yawen and Jin Chengyan, she didn’t notice their eyes meeting in the air, creating an atmosphere that felt like a battle of wills.
