At one o'clock in the afternoon, Aunt Haruko's nurse called Xiaoji and said that the old man's condition was not very good.

Xiaozhi immediately called an assistant, arranged the day's matters, and then went to pick up Xia Xue and rushed to the hospital together.

When Xiaozhi and Xia Xue walked into the ward, the old man was in a coma. His face was old and haggard, his lips were dry, and his gray hair was neatly combed. Although he is sick, his temperament is still elegant, but his body is in a state of extreme weakness.

The nurse walked up to Xiaozhi and said that the old man's mind was sometimes sober and sometimes confused. Xiaozhi nodded slightly, and asked in a low voice, Haruko, didn't you take care of the old man here?

The nurse lowered her head in embarrassment, as if for a moment, not knowing what to say. After a while, the nurse said hesitantly. Haruko, as if she was angry with the old man, refused to forgive the old man. Yesterday, when it was just dark, I went to the bathroom to wash the clothes of the elderly, and when I came back, I met Haruko leaving the ward in a hurry.

At this point, the nurse doesn't seem to be finished. She glanced up at Xiaoji, thought for a moment, and continued. Haruko saw me, called me into the hallway, and asked me about the old man's condition. Haruko also asked for the lawyer's contact information, saying that she called the lawyer, but for some reason, she always couldn't get through. Haruko suspected that the lawyer deliberately did not answer her calls, so she asked me for other contact information for the lawyer.

While listening to the nurse's words, Xiaozhi looked at the old man on the hospital bed from time to time. The old man's eyes were closed, and he still didn't wake up. Xiaozhi's brows, frowning slightly, asked the nurse. Haruko, why don't you just ask your aunt? I'm afraid she has other purposes and doesn't want her aunt to know, right?

The nurse nodded, and then, with a suspicious cloud on his face, said. Haruko called me into the hallway and talked for a long time. When I returned to the ward, I noticed that the old man was sleeping a little abnormally. It seemed that I slept very deeply, and I entered the house for a long time, and the old man didn't seem to notice. The time to fall asleep is also much earlier than usual. So, I went and called the nurse. As a result, the nurse saw that the plug of the ventilator had fallen off, and the old man had entered a state of shock.

Xia Xue's mouth opened wide in horror. Oh my God, how can this be? The medical staff here are too careless, right? The ventilator's joints were so loose that they didn't even know it.

Xiaozhi patted Xia Xue on the shoulder and comforted her with his eyes. Bent over and dragged a chair, helped Xia Xue, and asked her to sit down.

Only then did the nurse notice Xia Xue's bulging lower abdomen, and bowed down embarrassedly and said sorry, blaming herself for patronizing and talking, and ignoring the need for care of pregnant women.

Xia Xue hurriedly smiled and said that it didn't matter, she didn't feel tired. What happened later? Xia Xue asked the nurse.

The nurse sighed. Alas, later, the patient was given oxygen and first aid measures were carried out, and the patient was finally in danger. The attending doctor said that if it was delayed for another half an hour, I was afraid that the patient would be hopeless. After the nurse said all this, he looked at Xiaozhi with complicated eyes.

Although the nurse didn't say anything, Koji already understood what she meant. Xiao Zhi's eyes were cold, his face was full of suspicion, and then he already had an answer in his heart. He immediately called Haruko.

Hey, Haruko, where are you now? What 、、、、、、 you're in the bar! Auntie is dying now, don't you want to come over and accompany her? Your own business, do it yourself, if you don't repent, even I don't bother to care about you anymore! After Xiaozhi finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

Mr. Xue Zhi, are you here? At this time, I suddenly heard the old man lying on the hospital bed, calling Xiaozhi's name weakly.

Xiaozhi and Xia Xue walked to the bedside together. The nurse walked over, gently lifted the old man, half lay on the erected pillow, and fed the old man half a glass of water.

The old man suddenly found Xia Xue, who had not been seen for a long time, and stretched out his hand to Xia Xue with great joy. Xia Xue, you are still so young and beautiful, we haven't seen each other for several years, right? The old man smiled weakly and greeted Xia Xue.

Xia Xue stretched out her hands and held the old man's dry wrist tightly, feeling a lot of emotion in her heart. In the past, Xia Xue often took Xiaozhi to the old man's resort to play, at that time Xia Xue was in its prime, and the old man at that time was still a middle-aged beauty with charm.

But now, Xia Xue is a wife and pregnant. As for the old man, who used to be as beautiful as a flower, is already a yellow flower at this time. It's really like a beautiful flower, like a year of water!

Xia Xue held back the tears that were about to flow and said to the old man with a smile. Your temperament is still so elegant and noble. Even if you have been sick for a long time and have been in the hospital room, you are still neatly dressed and as dignified and beautiful as before.

The old man smiled, expressed his gratitude, and then offered to say a few words to Xia Xue alone. Xiaozhi and the nurse immediately walked out of the ward, leaving only Xia Xue in the ward.

The old man looked at Xia Xue charitably and said with a smile. Xia Xue, I don't have much time to live in the world, so I have to hurry up and talk next, I may not be able to take care of so many etiquette, please forgive me!

Xia Xue nodded, quietly listening to the old man's words, afraid of interrupting her thoughts.

The old man said, I have wanted to see you for a long time, for Haruko's business. Haruko, this child, suffered a lot when she was a child, and probably suffered grievances that we don't know, so her temper and personality are always inscrutable. Her way of thinking seems to be more ruthless than ordinary people. So, please forgive Haruko a lot! Forgive her for her offense to you, don't bother with her, I apologize to you on behalf of Haruko and ask for your forgiveness!

After the old man finished speaking, he bowed deeply to Xia Xue and apologized, his expression solemn and serious. Xia Xue hurriedly got up, helped the old man with both hands, and said that she was serious, saying that Haruko was a good girl, beautiful and cute.

The old man continued. Haruko and Koji have been classmates since childhood, and they seem to be very close to each other. In Haruko's heart, she has an indelible affection for Koji, which has long taken root in her heart, like an evil fire, burning until today. Haruko, she will never stop doing things and not achieving her goal. Therefore, my heart has always been very uneasy, and only before I died, I entrusted Haruko to Mr. Xue Zhi and Miss Xia Xue! What can I do when I meet a child like Haruko? and is reluctant to ruin her life directly. However, I was worried that she would hurt innocent people outside.

Xia Xue smiled and comforted the old man. Don't worry, we'll take care of Haruko and won't embarrass her.

Only then did the old man feel relieved. She sighed and said, the only one who can cure Haruko's heart disease is Mr. Xue Zhi. Haruko, it seems, is only willing to listen to Mr. Xue Zhi's words, and is still afraid of him. Probably, this is love, right? If you love someone, you will care about that person from the bottom of your heart, afraid that he will be angry and unhappy, and afraid that your words and deeds will not satisfy that person. However, Mr. Xue Zhi loves Miss Xia Xue, and he doesn't have that kind of love for Haruko. Alas, the world is unpredictable, and creation makes people!

Xia Xue's face was slightly red, and she seemed to understand what the old man didn't say.

The old man reached for the bedside table with a shudder. Xia Xue hurriedly got up, approached the old man, and asked, What do you want to take? I'll take it for you. The old man stretched out his index finger and pointed to a small, boxy box on the bedside table.

Xia Xue took the box and put it in the old man's hand. It was a leather-topped black lockbox, small and delicate, with a gold popper inlaid in the middle opening.

The old man flicked the code, then gently pressed the lock, and the small box opened with a snap. The old man took out a slip from it and handed it to Xia Xue, his face solemn and full of contradictions.

Xia Xue looked confused and took the slip from the old man's hand. This is a gynecological urine test slip, with Haruko's name written on it, and in the blank space of the list, a big red word "positive" is printed!

Xia Xue's heart immediately had a very uncomfortable feeling. She didn't speak, but looked at the kind old man with questioning eyes.

Haruko's aunt looked at Xia Xue with an embarrassed expression and said apologetically. This list is the report sheet for Haruko to go to the hospital for a urine test. Haruko told me at the time that she didn't show up for her period, which she had always been punctual, so she went to the hospital for a check-up and lab test. As a result, it is said that Haruko is pregnant. At that time, Haruko said that she wanted to give birth to the child, but after a month, Haruko said that she could not give birth to the child. Because, the child's father didn't believe in the existence of this child, and he didn't even know that Haruko had done that thing with him.

Xia Xue picked up the test sheet with palpitations and looked at the contents seriously again. The date shown on the slip coincides with the time when Haruko lived at Xia Xue's house. During that time, Haruko did say that she was pregnant with Koji's child. But Koji insisted that he hadn't done anything to Haruko.

But Xia Xue remembered that one day on a thunderstorm night, Haruko shouted loudly to Xiaozhi in the middle of the night, saying that she was afraid of thunderstorms and asked Xiaozhi to accompany her. That night, after Koji went to Haruko's house, he didn't return to Xia Xue until the next morning. That time, Koji was very angry, saying that after he came to Haruko's house, Haruko gave him a glass of orange juice, and Koji didn't remember anything about the rest of the matter. Could it be that it was that night that Haruko did that thing while Xiaoji was asleep?

Xia Xue didn't dare to continue to think about it, and she shuddered. Xia Xue stared and pondered, recalling the past events of that period. Later, Haruko was hospitalized with facial burns and left Natsuyuki's home. Early one morning, the nanny went to clean Haruko's room and found Haruko's panties with menstruation in the bathroom. From this, it was confirmed that Haruko said that she was pregnant, which was a scam at all. After the incident was exposed, Haruko did not defend herself.

So, at this moment, what is the positive test sheet that Aunt Haruko took out? Xia Xue's palms were soaked with beads of sweat, and she looked at the old man with questions and asked. Did Haruko tell you who the man who got her pregnant?

The old man shook his head and said, Haruko didn't tell me who that man was. I asked her at the time, hoping that she would tell me the truth about what had happened, and that I could give her some advice. But Haruko didn't tell me anything about the man. Haruko just said that she loved that man deeply, so she couldn't do things that went against that man's wishes.

Xia Xue and the old man's eyes met each other. After a few seconds of eye contact, the truth seemed to be revealed in each other's hearts.

Who is the man who made Haruko pregnant? The two women seemed to know it in an instant.
