"Yiyi, are you okay?" Yu Yifan looked at me worriedly, his eyes full of concern and anxiety.

He sensed the turmoil in my heart, but he didn't dare to touch that fragile area easily.

I tried to keep myself calm, raised the corners of my mouth slightly, revealed a forced smile, and whispered, "I'm fine."

However, only I know how insincere this answer is.

At this moment, I seemed to be tightly bound by an invisible force and unable to break free.

Just then, Xiaobao jumped into my arms like a cute little bear and hugged my legs tightly.

His big watery eyes sparkled with confusion and curiosity.

She asked in a sweet voice, "Mom, do you know the uncle just now?"

Looking at the innocent appearance of the child, a ripple appeared in my heart.

I slowly squatted down and couldn't help but stroke his little face.

Then I said to him carefully, "Mom doesn't know that uncle."

I hope this will dispel his doubts and stop him asking further questions.

However, Xiaobao did not give up.

He pouted and muttered, "Mom, you're lying! We obviously know each other..."

There was a hint of grievance in his voice, which left me speechless for a moment, not knowing how to respond to his question.

I sighed helplessly, and just as I was about to explain, Yu Yifan interrupted and said, "Xiaobao, the uncle just now is Mom's friend. We just met before."

Xiaobao blinked, as if thinking about Yu Yifan's words.

After a while, he suddenly smiled and said, "So that's how it is." Then he ran away.

I looked at Yu Yifan gratefully, and he smiled and said, "Don't worry, kids are like that, they are very curious."

I nodded, but I knew in my heart that Pei Di's sudden appearance meant that things were not that simple.

"Okay, don't worry! Let's take Xiaobao to see a doctor right away." Yu Yifan said gently.

At the same time, he gently took my slightly cold hand, and then we walked towards the hospital lobby together.

Along the way, he held my hand tightly, as if he wanted to give me some strength and comfort in this way.

Because the director of pediatrics happened to be Yu Yifan's good friend, this time he skipped the tedious registration and queuing process.

This made me feel a little relieved, as I was originally in a heavy mood.

I was secretly glad to have such a convenient condition, and soon we arrived at the door of the clinic.

After entering the clinic, the doctor carefully asked about Xiaobao's symptoms and arranged a series of detailed examination items.

Seeing Xiaobao cooperating with the doctor in doing various examinations, my heart gradually calmed down.

The wait for results always feels extraordinarily long.

Fortunately, the final diagnosis showed that Xiaobao just accidentally had an upset stomach and there was no big problem.

When I heard the news, my heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down.

"Director Li, thank you so much." Yu Yifan shook the doctor's hand.

"Yifan, I've said it before, we are friends, and it's normal for friends to do this."

Director Li then turned to look at me and said, "Yiyi, Xiaobao is fine, don't worry."

"That's good. Thank you so much. Let's make an appointment some other time so that our two families can have a meal together." I smiled at him gratefully.

"Okay, it's my honor to have dinner with you." Director Li joked.

Afterwards, we prescribed medicine for Xiaobao according to Director Li’s instructions.

Yu Yifan helped me hold the medicine, and we left the hospital together with Xiaobao.

"Let me take you back." Yu Yifan suggested.

I smiled and nodded.

In the car, Xiaobao was playing with toys happily, while Yu Yifan and I were sitting quietly.

"Thank you today, Yifan." I broke the silence.

"Don't be so polite, Yiyi. Xiaobao is my child too. It's my duty to care about him." Yu Yifan said seriously.

My heart was shocked and I looked at him, not knowing what to say for a moment.

The car drove to the downstairs of my house. "Then... I'll go upstairs." I got out of the car reluctantly.

"Well, have a good rest. Call me anytime if you have any problem." Yu Yifan said gently.

I nodded and walked into the corridor holding Xiaobao.

When I got home, I coaxed my baby to sleep and lay on the bed, with a lot of thoughts in my mind.

Over the years, Yu Yifan has consistently given me and the children meticulous care and love.

I was deeply touched by this deep affection, and his love was reflected in every detail.

For a long time, I firmly believed that I had true love for Yifan.

However, today, when I once again saw Pei Di stepping into my life trajectory, I have to admit that ripples appeared in my heart.

At that moment, memories of the past flooded into my mind like a tide, and the time I spent with Pei Di was vivid in my mind.

Although the years have passed, the emotion does not seem to have completely disappeared, but is still hidden in the heart.

At this moment, facing the appearance of Pei Di, those long-dormant emotions quietly awakened.

This caused waves in my originally calm heart.

Although I kept telling myself not to do this, I couldn't suppress my strong curiosity and worry in the end.

With trembling hands, he slowly opened the screen of his mobile phone, quickly opened the browser, typed in the word "Pei Di" and started searching.

As the webpage continued to load and refresh, news about him, social media updates and related reports appeared one after another.

My eyes were fixed on every word and every picture, afraid to miss any details related to him.

Gradually, tears blurred his eyes. It turned out that he was suffering from such a serious disease!

When I finally learned this fact, logically I should have been ecstatic.

After all, it was he who had always failed to live up to the sacred and solemn marriage contract between us.

What's more, he ruthlessly abandoned the three innocent and pitiful little lives that had not yet been born in my belly!

Yet, for some reason, no matter how hard I tried, I just couldn't make myself truly happy.

Just then, a knock on the door interrupted my thoughts.

I wiped my tears, got up and opened the door.

The door opened and Yu Yifan stood outside, his eyes full of concern.

"I was worried about you, so I came to see you." He said softly.

My heart warmed, "Come in."

"You know everything?" I asked.

Yu Yifan nodded, held my hand and said, "Yiyi, no matter what happened in the past, I hope you can look forward."

He paused and continued, "I don't want you to live in hatred forever."

I looked at him with emotion, and a hint of hesitation flashed in my eyes.

"Yifan, I..."

He gently interrupted me: "Stop talking, I know you need time, I will wait for you until you are ready."

I bit my lip and nodded.

Yu Yifan hugged me and said, "It's getting late. I want to stay here tonight..."

"Yifan, I think..." I was suddenly speechless.

"Yiyi, don't worry, I will never force you. I have waited for you for so many years, I don't mind waiting for you for a few more years." He looked at me affectionately.

"Yifan, give me some more time, I will definitely give you the answer you want, okay?"

Yu Yifan nodded silently, then hugged me gently and said, "No matter how long it takes, I will wait for you. It's getting late tonight, so I'll go back first. You should also go to bed early." After that, he turned and left.

I closed the door and leaned against it, feeling mixed emotions.

I know that Yu Yifan is a person worthy of entrusting my life to, but I can never let go of the pain of the past.

Ever since I met Pei Di during the day, his figure kept appearing in my mind.
