Chapter 1175: He is the Father of My Child

Time seemed to tick by extremely slowly.

He Xiyan kept glancing at her watch and she kept a close watch on the time. She would look at her watch after every one or two minutes.

The doctor had told her that the operation would take one to two hours and almost an hour had pa.s.sed by this time.

Yuan Yuan walked over to his mother when he saw how anxious she was and gently stroked her back as he said, “Mom, don’t be too worried. I’m sure they will be fine. Xi Xi was shot in the shoulder and the gun woman didn’t critically injure her, so her life is not in danger.” He could tell that his mother was more anxious than he was.

He Xiyan took a deep breath and her face was flushed red from anxiety. She stood while leaning against the wall and she couldn’t stop thinking about the scenes at the airport earlier.

Han Xue had obviously been targeting her, so she had only escaped unscathed because Ye Hao had thrown himself on top of her and took two shots on her behalf. Otherwise, she would be the one inside the operating theatre right now.

Had Han Xue gone mad? How could she resort to such extreme measures after she was released from jail?

Time ticked by slowly and the doors to the operating theatre finally opened 20 minutes later.

Xi Xi was pushed out of the operating theatre.

Her face was deathly pale as she lay on the hospital bed and her lips were completely devoid of color. She seemed very frightened and cold sweat beaded on her forehead as she gripped the handles of her bed tightly.

“Mom…” Xi Xi kept calling out for her mother and her voice was extremely soft.

He Xiyan practically flung herself at Xi Xi. She took her daughter’s hands in hers and tears rolled uncontrollably down her cheeks.

“Xi Xi…” she said as she called her daughter by her nickname and she felt as though her heart was being torn into shreds.

Xi Xi was transferred to a VIP ward. She seemed extremely traumatized and her forehead was sickly pale. She sniffed as she said, “Mom, I should have listened to the fengshui master and stayed away from grandma’s grave. I’m sorry…”

Xi Xi regretted not heeding the fengshui master’s advice and sneaking to her grandmother’s grave. She had brought about this disaster and her father had been shot because of her.

He Xiyan pulled out a piece of tissue and wiped her daughter’s cold sweat and tears away.

“Everything is okay now. Shush, my dear and rest well,” she said as she looked tenderly at her daughter. She tried her best to hold back her tears but her tears continued to fall freely down her cheeks.

Xi Xi shook her head.

“Mom, where’s dad? Is he okay?” Xi Xi asked. She knew that her father had been shot and had been shot twice.

He Xiyan’s breath caught in her throat and the pain in her heart seemed to spread toward every part of her body.

“Your dad is still undergoing an operation,” He Xiyan said softly. Her voice caught in her throat and she sounded very hoa.r.s.e as though her vocal cords were damaged.

She hurriedly walked out of the room and headed back to the operating theatre.

She kept praying a silent prayer and prayed that Ye Hao would be alright.

The doors to the operating theatre opened once more and Ye Hao was pushed out of the operating theatre. However, he was still unconscious.

“Are you his family?” the doctor asked.

He Xiyan’s face was deathly pale as she nodded. Then, she shook her head and said, “He… he is the father of my child. How is he? Did the surgery go well?

She was so nervous that her breath quickened.

The doctor took a deep breath and wiped the sweat from his forehead before he said, “He had been shot twice. One of the shots. .h.i.t his left shoulder and this resulted in his left scapular cracking open.”
