Chapter Twenty-Three: Dad Sacrificed

Ye Beibei listened to Xiao Moting's words, her heart was shocked, she hurriedly walked to Xiao Moting's bedside, hugged him into her arms, and just wanted to say two words to comfort him as before, to ease his emotions, who knew that Xiao Moting continued: "Mom, my father is dead, right? He will never come to see me, right?"

"Moting!?" Ye Beibei looked at Xiao Moting in front of him in surprise, the child has lost a whole circle of weight these days, because of the more and more headaches, his body looks very weak, and the big dark eyes on his pale face are getting bigger and bigger.

Looking at the child's fragile and immature appearance, Ye Beibei felt uncomfortable, she knew that Xiao Moting was smart and sensitive, he had the genetics of being a policeman's father, and his reasoning ability was still very strong, she didn't dare to easily deny his statement, and asked cautiously: "Moting, who told me that my father is gone?"

"Nobody told me that I found it myself. Xiao Moting lowered his head, looking very sad, Ye Beibei did not deny it in time, and in disguise admitted his guess.

According to the normal situation, at this time, Ye Beibei should spare no effort to hide Xiao Li's affairs from Xiao Moting, but Xiao Moting's situation is special, he has no mother since he was a child, he is very self-reliant in many things, and he is extremely perceptive, keen and intelligent, if he continues to hide it from him when he has guessed eight or nine points, it will definitely cause him more panic and doubt, and his trust in her will be greatly reduced in the future.

Ye Beibei hugged Xiao Moting and hesitated for a while before continuing to ask, "How did you find out?"

"After my father is gone, you always hide in the room and cry secretly, the kindergarten aunt will also whisper behind my back, my father's colleagues treat me better than before, and twice Aunt Xiaoli hugged me and cried. Also, Dad never called home or called me. We've been here for so long, I've all been sick, and he still hasn't come back, and I know, Daddy must be gone!"

Xiao Moting is a child after all, his reasoning is not based on real evidence, everything depends on intuition, but Ye Beibei still did not refute him, since there is such a day sooner or later, it is better to talk about it. Xiao Moting's craniotomy this time is very dangerous, maybe the child will never wake up again, she can't let the child leave with doubts about his father's life and death.

After Ye Beibei thought about it and weighed it, she squatted down, looked at the child, and said softly: "Moting, I will tell you the truth of the matter, but can you promise not to cry? Can you guarantee that you will not be emotional and will not affect the operation?"

Xiao Moting nodded solemnly at Ye Beibei like a little adult.

Ye Beibei held Xiao Moting's little hand, and said in a slow and calm tone: "Moting, your father did die in the line of duty, he is a real man, he sacrificed to protect others, he is a hero!"

Xiao Moting pursed his lips, tears quickly welled up, but when he heard that his father was a hero, he still bit his lip tightly and held back his crying.

Ye Beibei knew that it was cruel to say this to the child, but this was their fate, and she and Xiao Moting always had to pass, "Moting, although your father is gone, he has never left us, he has been watching us from the sky and accompanying us, but we can't see him for the time being." Moting, your father is an excellent, strong, brave man, you are his son, so you must also be strong, be brave, and be a real man!"

Xiao Moting still cried, maybe he had a premonition in his heart, he didn't cry, but big tears slipped down his little face in strings, Ye Beibei's heart was extremely uncomfortable, at this time, seeing Xiao Moting crying, the sad feeling became more and more real, she couldn't help but get up and hugged Xiao Moting tightly into her arms, tears rolled down.

After a while, Ye Beibei stopped her tears, choked her throat and said, "Moting, you must be good, my mother has no father, and I can't live without you anymore." You have to get better, and you have to grow up quickly, you are a little man in the family, your mother needs your protection, and your younger brother needs you to take care of it, so Moting, you must be well, grow up like a father, be the protector of your mother and younger brother!"

Ye Beibei's words finally had an effect on Xiao Moting, he slowly stopped crying, wiped his eyes with his little hand, and said while choking, but his tone was extremely firm, "Mom, don't worry, I will definitely get better, and I will raise my body well, so as to protect you and my little brother." ”

Wiping away the tears on his face, Ye Beibei raised his head and looked at Mo Ting, "Mo Ting, let's not tell anyone about Dad's sacrifice, okay?"

"Uncle Li can't do it too?" Xiao Moting looked at Ye Beibei with some doubts, he has been very close to Li Minglang these days, in his heart, Li Minglang, who often appears these days, is already a powerful and warm existence, he knows that Li Minglang loves him and indulges him, and he also knows that Li Minglang is like an omnipotent god, who can meet his various requirements, and is a person who can be relied on with confidence.

Xiao Moting is mature and sensible, but he is a child after all, at this time, he is sure that his father is gone, and he is facing such a terrible operation, he naturally feels in crisis, he feels that Ye Beibei is not strong enough as a woman, and his mind is not yet fully mature.

"No, you can't say it to anyone, Dad's sacrifice is a secret between you and Mom, and to others you can only say that Dad is on a mission. Mo Ting, don't you want to be one of those agents on TV when you grow up, now your mother will see if you can withstand coercion and temptation, and if you can keep secrets!" Ye Beibei couldn't expect a seven-year-old child to keep any secrets, just Li Minglang's cunning energy made him feel a little bit of wind and grass, and he would immediately use all his means to get out of Xiao Moting, she had to use Xiao Moting to use the agitation method.

Xiao Moting wiped a handful of tears from his own eyes, looked very stubborn, and said: "Don't worry, I will definitely keep it a secret." ”

Li Minglang came over on time at noon, and brought three exquisite and delicious takeaways as usual, Ye Beibei initially rejected this kind of preferential treatment of takeaway from five-star restaurants at noon every day and in the evening by the president himself, but Li Minglang's temperament was twisted, he insisted on going his own way, perseverance, you don't eat today, I will come tomorrow, you are still this time, I will bring a better one next time.
