When Xie Huai heard this, she was a little worried. After hesitating for a while, she still wanted to call her son.

“Mingming, don’t blame your father. Your father did it for your own good back then. Everyone said that the children born at that time were dragons and phoenixes among men. Your father also hoped that his son would become a dragon.”

“Mom.” Yue Ming interrupted her expressionlessly. Sensing that his tone was extremely cold, he took a while to calm down before saying softly, “Mom, what about you? Don’t you blame Dad?”

Xie Huai was slightly stunned. Then, she said sternly, “Did that Shi Man say something to you again? Did she start to sow discord between you and your father?”

“Mom, this has nothing to do with Instructor Shi.” Guanglin asked seriously again, “Tell me the truth. Do you blame Dad?”

Xie Huai suddenly felt a little nervous, and her heart was beating wildly.

Her son’s question undoubtedly stumped her.

Because this was the question that had puzzled her for many years.

Did she hate it?

Many nights, she would dream that she was on the operating table. There was a dazzling surgical light above her head, and various instruments were ticking by her ears. Her lower abdomen was so cold that she could even feel the doctor’s scalpel cutting open her stomach.

Every time she thought that she was about to end this nightmare, the doctor’s anxious questions would echo in her mind.

“Madam Xie, your husband has requested that we wait another twenty minutes before we can remove the child from your body. Do you agree?”

Xie Huai lay on the bed and opened her mouth, but no sound came out.

The doctor patiently asked again, “If we delay any longer, I’m afraid your lives will be in danger. If you don’t agree, we will immediately take the child out and complete the surgery. You don’t have to worry.”

The blinding light above her head became more and more blurry. Then, Xie Huai seemed to have heard her weak answer.

“Let’s wait a little longer. We’ll listen to my husband.”

After that, she completely lost consciousness.

Every time this happened, she would suddenly wake up from her sleep. Every time she woke up, she would be drenched in sweat. There were even a few times when she woke up her husband, who was sleeping soundly.

Yue Lin was very busy with work during the day. At night, it was taboo for anyone to disturb his rest. He had gotten angry at her many times because of this.

Xie Huai silently endured it.

Because she really couldn’t leave Yue Lin.

Xie Huai suppressed her emotions. Fortunately, Yue Ming could not see the tears on her face through the phone. She pretended that nothing had happened and said, “Why would 1 hate your father? Your father treats me very well and treats you well too. Our family is so happy together. How can I hate him?”

“Really?” Yue Ming smiled bitterly and suddenly did not want to speak anymore. “Then I’ll hang up first. Mom, you can call me if anything happens at home.”

Xie Huai quickly responded. When she heard the busy tone on the phone, her heart was still warm and she could not regain her senses.

Worried about Xie Huai’s emotions, the butler hurriedly handed her a tissue. “Madam, what did Young Master say?”

Xie Huai smiled and shook her head. She took the tissue and wiped her tears. “Nothing. I just suddenly feel like he has grown up.”

In the past, he rarely cared about her matters. Every time he called her, it would not exceed three minutes. She was always worried that she would disturb her son from doing his own things, so she never dared to delay his time.

But today, her son actually took the initiative to care about her, which made her extremely happy.

As Yue Ming hung up the phone, his face was so cold that ice could form on it.

Of course, he could tell that something was wrong with his mother’s tone.

It was just as he had thought last night. The harmony in the Yue family on the surface had always been maintained by his mother swallowing her grievance.

And he and his father, Yue Lin, just kept taking.

At the thought of this, Yue Ming suddenly felt suffocated. He had a straight face throughout the entire day of training.

The male students all guessed that Yue Ming’s cold face was because he couldn’t stand Shi Man’s punishment. However, after the Yue Ming training ended at night, he went to the female dormitory to help. He was even more diligent than yesterday.

Cheng Luo looked at Yue Ming, who had quickly cleaned up the trash in the corridor and started mopping the floor. She took out a bottle of water from the box and handed it to him.

Yue Ming glanced at it and quickly turned his head away. “Thank you, but 1 won’t drink it.”

Cheng Luo awkwardly retracted her hand and said, “Thank you for saving Xiaoyu yesterday. How is she now? I can’t leave the army so easily. Otherwise, 1 would have gone to the hospital to see her.”

Hearing this, Yue Ming suddenly remembered the pale-faced girl from yesterday and the smell of blood that filled his nose.

However, this time, he did not feel that the smell was bad. He only felt that he was lucky that he did not delay the best time for the girl’s surgery.

“She’s fine. The doctor said the surgery was a success. Her mother is already with her at the hospital, but you’ll have to ask Director Zhao about the details. I’m not sure.”

It was rare for Yue Ming to speak so much. He spoke a series of words in one breath.

After Cheng Luo was relieved, she only felt surprised. When she smiled, her eyes curved into crescents. “You’re very different from before. It seems that Instructor Shi’s method is quite effective.”

Yue Ming paused and glared at her angrily.. “What does this have to do with Instructor Shi?”
