Chapter 443. Betrothal (2)
Upon hearing Shen Wenna’s tone, she took in the way she struggled. Xi Xiaye suddenly felt a faint ache in her heart. As her slightly cold hand immediately covered her mother’s frail ones, she softly consoled, “Previously, when I went to the checkup with you, didn’t the doctor say that you were recovering quite well and that the blood clot seems to be dissipating too? Who knows? Maybe after some time, you’ll be able to see again.”
Shen Wenna smiled gladly with an optimistic air. “It’s fine. It’s been so long, so I’m used to it now. At first, I couldn’t quite adapt to it, but now I’m alright. You two just keep busy with your wedding matters and don’t worry about us over here. Your grandpa will be getting some specialists to come to see me in another two days. We’ll see how it goes. Your wedding’s getting nearer. Don’t worry about these ominous matters.”
“What do you mean ominous? I don’t trust those superstitions. Healing your eyes is the most important thing. Wedding or not, we’ve already gotten our marriage certificate and are a married couple.”
Xi Xiaye got up and walked to the table to pour Shen Wenna a cup of water before she handed it to her. “Right, Mother, let me tell you something.”
Shen Wenna took two sips and calmly replied, “What is it?”
“A few days ago, Mu Yuchen got Li Si and the rest to clear out West Park and change the locks. I went back to take a look and bumped into Father who probably stood outside West Park for quite a while. I didn’t feel quite happy then. Father probably told you everything that happened recently, didn’t he?” Xi Xiaye softly asked, her clear gaze falling onto Shen Wenna’s calm face.
Shen Wenna paused, yet she did not reveal too many emotions, seeming very calm. “He didn’t tell me, but I do know about these things. Aunt Wu told me about it.”
“What do you think, Mother?”
Shen Wenna sighed. She felt around and wanted to set her cup aside. Xi Xiaye helped her get it when she saw that.
