    But she did not even blink.


    It was some time before the door to her room opened and Ye Hao entered. His face was flushed and his eyes still zed in anger.


    He walked toward that small bed and he was familiar with this ce because they had spent the night here during the Tomb-Sweeping Festival this year.


    “Yan Yan...” Ye Hao said as he sat by her bedside and held her cold hands tightly. Her fingers were as slender as chopsticks but there was a thinyer of callus on her palms. This showed that her family wasn’t that well-off and she grew up doing a lot of household chores.


    “Yan Yan, I’m sorry. I failed to help you win custody of Yuan Yuan,” Ye Hao said as he lowered his eyes. His eyes were full of regret and guilt because he could have helped her win custody of Yuan Yuan but he chose to remain silent because he wanted to secure his position within the Ye family and his inheritance. He left her alone to face the emotionless court and left her alone to deal with the pain of losing Yuan Yuan. He had gotten what he wanted but he had neglected to think about her feelings. He knew that Yuan Yuan was as important to her as her own life but he did not help her.


    He could see the despair and pain in her eyes and this was the first time he had seen her look so disconste.


    He Xiyan pursed her pale lips and her fingers twitched slightly on the bed sheets but she still did not speak.


    She didn’t need his apologies at all.


    “Yan Yan, Yuan Yuan has gone to live with the Mo family but you’ll still have me, and Xi Xi,” Ye Hao stretched out his other hand and gently ced it on her cold face.


    “We’ll still be by your side and we’ll stand by you forever. Since you like children so much, we can always have another one when you’re feeling better. As for Yuan Yuan, although you might not be the one raising him, he’ll still be your child. We can bring him over on weekends and we can also visit him at school when he grows older,” Ye Hao’s voice became low and hoarse as he tried to cheer his wife up.


    Obviously, he was also hoping the cracks that had formed in their rtionship because of this matter could be repaired.


    She was his beloved and he couldn’t be happy when she was so unhappy even though he might have gotten what he wanted.


    “Let’s go home, honey...”


    Ye Hao picked up her hand and ced a gentle kiss on the back of her hand.


    A tear fell from his eyes when he kissed her andnded on the back of her hand.


    He Xiyan’s fingers twitched slightly as though she sensed something but she did not speak, neither did she look at him.


    Ye Hao walked out of the room, filled a basin with water, then he wrung a towel dry.


    He unfurled this small towel and gently wiped her haggard face and wiped the tear stains from her face.


    His heart hurt as he wiped her face because he could see how bloodshot her eyes were and the heavy eye bags that hung beneath them, as well as the fatigue on her face. He didn’t need to ask to know that these few days had been living hell for her and she hadn’t rested well at all.


    “Yan Yan, I’ll go get you something to eat. You should continue to rest her,” Ye Hao ced her icy hands back under the covers and wrapped the nkets tightly around her body.
