Chapter 23 — The Husband's Secret

He raised his head and asked his mother-in-law. "You know about this?" My mother-in-law avoided his eyes. "You were already in enough trouble at that time." "If the Lam family knew, what if they stole the child?" Aunt Lam was so angry that she trembled. "Robbery?" "I'm her aunt." "I came to save her, not to rob her." My mother-in-law gritted her teeth. "If you Lam family knew how to take care of your daughter, then there wouldn't be any future events." This statement like a blunt knife, slashing everyone's face. Aunt Lam waved her hand and slapped her. The slapping sound was very loud. Everyone in the hallway looked this way. My mother-in-law hugged her face and rolled her eyes. Aunt Lam cried. "My niece died on the delivery table, you still want to pour dirty water on her body." "In the letter she clearly wrote, not to let you guys drag Diep An and her child into the water." "You don't listen." "Now you still want to use Vien Vien's life to fill the hole you guys created." Tham Nghien seemed to be pushed hard by someone, took half a step back, leaning against the wall. The doctor took Aunt Lam's report and looked it over. "This is data from two years ago." "Can't be used directly." Aunt Lam immediately said. "I will do it again right now." "Blood drawing, physical examination, hospitalization, I all accept." "As long as it can save Tieu Du." The doctor nodded. "If you are willing, you can arrange a follow-up examination immediately." "But it needs to be done according to official procedures." "And you also have to look at your current health conditions." Auntie Lam Lam said. "I agree." Having finished speaking, she looked towards the door of the emergency room, tears falling one by one. "Do you still remember me, Tieu Du?" Aunt Khuong cried and nodded. "Remember?" "When he was little, he made him a small cloth tiger." "The boy always put it at the head of the bed." Aunt Lam covered her mouth, barely able to stand. I looked at that scene, my heart choked. It turns out that over the past five years, I wasn't the only one who was blindsided. But there was also someone who truly wanted to save the child who was blocked outside the door. Tham Nghien slowly raised her head to look at me. His eyes were bloodshot. "Diep An." I took a step back. "Don't call me." "The person who needs to hear you say the most right now is not me." "It's Tieu Du." The emergency room door opened a crack. The nurse came out to call the family. "The baby will wake up for a moment, wants to see dad." Tham Nghien immediately walked inside. After walking a few steps, he stopped again and looked at Aunt Lam. "Come in too." Aunt Lam was stunned. Her steps were very light, as if afraid of alarming something. I don't go in. I stood in the hallway, watching that door close again. Through the door, I heard Tieu Du's very soft voice. "Dad." "Is your sister here?" The hallway suddenly became silent. Tham Nghien's voice was hoarse, almost inaudible. "Not yet." Tieu Du asked again. "So your sister is not hurt, right?" No one answered right away. A long time later, Tham Nghien said, "It doesn't hurt." "Dad won't let you hurt anymore." I leaned against the wall, tears welling up in my eyes. Not forgiveness. Nor is it soft-hearted. It's just that at this moment, I finally know that Tieu Du is also always pushed forward. The boy was taught by adults that he must wait for his sister to save him. But the first thing the boy asked was whether his sister was hurt or not. Aunt Lam did the re-examination procedure on the same day. Aunt Khuong followed her to help her with the procedures. My mother-in-law sat on the bench, her face gray, unable to say a word. Tham Nghien walked out of the hospital room, her whole body as if she had aged several years. He walked up to me, his voice very low. "I will withdraw all applications related to Yuan Yuan." "All." I looked at him. "Not because of me." "But because you should finally be a real father." He nodded. "I know." I said. "And the matter of forging signatures, secretly taking samples, arbitrarily opening the door late at night, pretending to check gas." "These things will not disappear because you are heartbroken now." Tham Nghien closed his eyes. again. “You coordinate

"My mother-in-law suddenly stood up. "Are you crazy?" "Are you going to send me to jail?" Tham Nghien turned back to look at her. There was no anger in her eyes, only extreme fatigue. "Mom." "It was you who forced us all to this step." My mother-in-law moved her lips, but couldn't say a word. That night, I returned to the house in the southern city. Vien Vien was already sleeping. I sat beside the child's bed, gently holding her little hand. She moved her finger, as if confirming I was still here. I said softly. "Vien Vien, mom, you stopped it." "This time, I really stopped it." But I know, the story is not over yet. Because stopping the harm is only the first step, I have to remove the person who hurt my child from this life. 21 Aunt Lam's medical condition was better than everyone thought. can continue to evaluate the donor. The next process is not easy, nor is it 100% guaranteed, but at least Tieu Du finally has a way without going to Vien Vien. When I heard this news, I was at the lawyer's office signing the papers. I looked at it for a long time and signed it.
