Chapter 358: Chapter 358: Xiao Bao is Missing Again
So, she tossed the rule about not peeking into others’ privacy far behind her mind and began reading the short letter: "My wife, reading this letter is like seeing me. My blindness has lasted for five years. I met a child whose innocent words suggested that a little blow on my eyes would restore my sight. For some reason, I bizarrely had Li Yan arrange a surgery..."
Reading up to this point, Xiao Qing felt a bit gloomy. What kind of weird letter was this! She couldn’t quite grasp the profound content of the letter, but she did realize it was written by a man to his wife.
She was subtly moved. People still handwrite letters to their wives in this day and age!
Why couldn’t she meet such a romantic man?
The hand that was about to stuff the letter back paused; she brought it back in front of her eyes. Having read half of it, it somehow felt uncomfortable not to finish it. So, she continued reading, and thankfully, she could understand the rest.
"As I write this letter, I am preparing to enter the operating room. This letter is like the farewell note we write before going on a mission. Not writing it would feel like something is missing. Thus, I mock myself. You and the child left five years ago, what’s the use of writing this letter? How can I deliver it to you? But I can’t bother about that anymore. Qingqing~ I miss you, miss you so much..."
Xiao Qing gazed at the two characters in disbelief, his wife was also named Qingqing?
"In your lifetime, I never told you I loved you. Every day after you left, I wanted to say I love you, but you can’t hear it anymore... Whether the surgery succeeds or not, it doesn’t matter. I still can’t see you, can’t hold you anymore... If I ever have the thought of taking my own life, should the surgery happen to fail, my ashes will join yours, and we will never be apart again..."
The letter ended there.
Xiao Qing read it silently again, once was not enough, so she read it a third time. After finishing the third reading, she looked up, her eyes red.
Sniffling, she stuffed the farewell letter into the drawer and crawled into bed for a nap.
Such a sentimental man, maybe in her dreams, she could meet one~
Xiao Qing was woken up by Dabao’s noise.
She rubbed her bleary eyes and lifted Dabao onto her, "What’s wrong?"
"Mommy, Xiaobao is missing again," Dabao said with a sobbing tone.
Xiao Qing’s sleepiness vanished in an instant, and she said gravely, "When did this happen?"
"I haven’t seen her since I woke up, wuu wuu wuu~ Mommy, I really don’t know when she slipped out again."
Xiao Qing comforted Dabao, "Don’t cry, Dabao. Think about it, who has Xiaobao been in contact with recently?" Suddenly, she thought of the farewell letter in her makeup bag and her gaze sharpened, "Tell Mommy the truth, did you meet someone this morning?"
She had used her makeup bag in the morning, and the letter wasn’t there. Clearly, it was those two kids that had put it inside.
Dabao’s eyes flickered, as it was him who had taken Xiaobao out that morning, so he was afraid of being blamed by Mommy.
"Dabao!" Xiao Qing saw him not speaking and called his name with a heightened tone.
Dabao pouted, "Mommy, it’s not like that. Xiaobao asked me to take her out this morning. Later, at the front gate, we met the grandparents Xiaobao spoke of, and she even called that man ’Handsome Daddy’. He left an address for Xiaobao..."
Xiao Qing’s exquisite eyebrows furrowed slightly. So, the address in her bag was left by that so-called ’Handsome Daddy’ to Xiaobao?
She immediately picked up Dabao, grabbed the keys, and went out the door. It didn’t take much to realize where the little rascal had headed—to the E district area.
When Xiao Qing appeared at Building 8 in E district with Dabao, a security guard on the first floor stopped them, "Which unit are you going to?"
"18th floor," Xiao Qing replied honestly.
