“Mom, the exact time hasn’t been set yet. We can only confirm it after Lu Hao arranges his work,” Lin Wan responded to her mother.
“Okay.” Qiao Yujuan nodded and said, “I just can’t wait to see my grandson.”
Upon observing her mother’s eager anticipation, Lin Wan felt a tinge of sadness but restrained her emotions. She reassured her mother, “Mom, you’ll be able to meet Ranran very soon.”
“Mm…” Qiao Yujuan acknowledged. Then, a serious expression crossed her face as she turned to her daughter. She inquired, “Wanwan, Ranran’s health has always been fragile. You didn’t explain the reason clearly on the phone last time. What exactly happened?”
At her mother’s inquiry, Lin Wan’s heart ached. Thoughts of her pregnancy and the year following Ranran’s birth welled up, causing her eyes to moisten.
After choosing not to conceal the truth any longer, Lin Wan openly shared, “I discovered I was pregnant upon arriving in France, but I never considered aborting our child.”
This child belonged to both her and Yichen, and she was determined to give their love to this child.
“I decided to go through with the pregnancy. While adapting to life in France and searching for a job to sustain us, I faced mental stress and distracting thoughts. Despite Lu Hao’s reluctance to let me work, I insisted.
Over the past few months, I worked late into the night on my drawings. During sleepless nights filled with longing for Yichen, I often sat on the balcony. Unfortunately, I fainted one night, likely due to catching a cold. Lu Hao discovered me the following day.
After being rushed to the emergency room, I learned from the doctor that my weakness had affected the baby in my womb.”
Lin Wan, trying to maintain composure, recounted this challenging experience that would likely remain etched in her memory.
“After giving birth to Ranran, my frail body led to a coma. Ranran was placed in an incubator. Lu Hao stood by my side, diligently instructing the doctors on Ranran’s care, understanding how vital he was to me.”
She continued, “When I regained consciousness, I saw Lu Hao with tear-stained eyes. At that moment, my heart stirred. From that point, Lu Hao and I stayed by Ranran’s side until he was out of the incubator. It marked the first time I held our child—Yichen and mine.
The following year, my body gradually recovered with Lu Hao’s attentive care and daily reminders. However, occasional leg pain persisted, while Ranran’s health did not improve. He couldn’t engage in typical childlike activities, and running would cause heartache.”
“Mom, it’s my fault. I failed to take proper care of Ranran and me. That’s why Ranran…” Lin Wan broke into tears.
There was no need for pretense before her mother; Lin Wan genuinely felt sorrow and regret for her son. Perhaps their child would not have faced such challenges if she had been more cautious and attentive during her pregnancy.
Upon seeing her daughter in tears, Qiao Yujuan quickly approached, embracing her gently with tears in her eyes. She consoled her daughter, “Wanwan, it’s not your fault. It’s not your fault.”
“In the future, we’ll care for Ranran together. We’ll consult with doctors and introduce him to gentle exercises as he grows. This way, Ranran’s health will improve,” Qiao Yujuan assured. “Trust me, Ranran will get better. He’ll be like a normal child..”
