After Divorce, Hidden Marriage Husband Became Addicted to Me-Chapter 540 - 357: _3
Chapter 540: Chapter 357: _3
"Tangtang..."
Having not spoken for too long, Tang Xi’s voice was hoarse.
Knowing Tang Xi was injured, Tangtang dared not move, only clinging to Tang Xi’s hand, terrified that Tang Xi would die, that she would leave her.
Hearing Tangtang’s voice made Tang Xi feel distressed.
At the time, she didn’t think much when saving Fu Tingzhou, but now seeing her daughter by her side made her even more upset.
If she died, what would happen to her daughter?
"I’m sorry, Tangtang, mommy hasn’t been good enough, making you scared..." Tang Xi spoke hoarsely, filled with self-reproach.
Fu Tingzhou hugged Tangtang, "Mommy’s awake now, so can you be a good girl and go have your meal?"
Since Tang Xi had fallen unconscious, Tangtang hadn’t eaten anything. No matter how he tried, Fu Tingzhou couldn’t persuade her; Tangtang insisted on waiting until Tang Xi woke up.
Tangtang was adamant, "No, I want to stay by mommy’s side. I don’t want to go anywhere!"
Left with no choice, Fu Tingzhou had to have the meals brought to the bedside of Tang Xi.
Fu Tingzhou brought Tang Xi to this small island just for her to recover from her injuries, bringing only one bodyguard and some medicine they had taken from the hospital.
The doctor was found from the town.
It would only be tomorrow that a doctor from the county could come over.
There was no time to arrange for servants, so he had to feed Tangtang himself.
Tangtang was always well-behaved. Now that Tang Xi was awake, she didn’t want Tang Xi to worry, and obediently ate her meal, bite by bite.
This scene warmed Tang Xi’s heart as she watched.
If she hadn’t divorced Fu Tingzhou, if they hadn’t lost those years in between, then their family of three would have been very happy together.
Tang Xi felt like there was a fishbone stuck in her throat.
After Fu Tingzhou finished feeding Tangtang, she said, "Tangtang, I want to speak privately with your father. Could you step outside for a bit and not go too far, okay?"
Tangtang nodded.
Soon, only Tang Xi and Fu Tingzhou were left in the room.
Fu Tingzhou looked at her, his dark eyes shadowed with worry, "You’ve just woken up, it’s better that you don’t talk too much. Fu Yunye marrying you wasn’t aiming for you, but for me. We are now on a small island, very safe. During the time your injuries have not healed, we will stay here."
"Weren’t you going to marry Shu Mengshu? Why are you doing this?" Tang Xi struggled to speak, the pain becoming increasingly sharp as if there was a thorn stuck in her throat.
Fu Tingzhou pursed his lips firmly, "I have never told you or anyone that I was going to marry Shu Mengshu."
"On the day you left, Shu Mengshu sent me your photos. If you have no relationship with Shu Mengshu, why would you stay by her side?"
"Shu Mengshu took Tangtang away from the kindergarten on purpose to make me anxious, deliberately telling me you were going to marry her, that she would be Tangtang’s mommy in the future."
"Fu Tingzhou, Tangtang is the child I bore through life and death; I will never let my child call another woman ’mommy.’"
Tang Xi was resolute in her words, her voice firm.
Determination filled Tang Xi’s eyes.
But now Tang Xi couldn’t sit up; otherwise, Tang Xi would sit up, would stand before Fu Tingzhou, and demand answers word by word.
Fu Tingzhou pursed his lips, slowly articulating, "The reason I went to Shu Mengshu’s side is that she called me, claiming to have something I wanted. I stayed, and she provided me with Xu Ze’s whereabouts."
"Tang Xi, you surely know who Xu Ze is better than I do."
Xu Ze, his former assistant.
Seeing Tang Xi silent, Fu Tingzhou continued, "The memories I lost, I am desperate to find them again."
"When I thought Tangtang was missing, I called you. Why didn’t you answer?"
Tears had begun to fill Tang Xi’s eyes.
Fine, even if everything before could be overlooked, what about after? fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
Fu Tingzhou spoke in a hoarse voice, "The place where Xu Ze was located was very remote. When you called me, my phone might have just run out of battery. I went there alone, wanting to bring Xu Ze back, but Xu Ze didn’t come back with me."
Fu Tingzhou opened his mouth slowly, explaining to Tang Xi word by word.
He saw Tang Xi’s lips were very dry, poured some water, dampened a cotton swab, and with careful and gentle movements unique to him, moistened her lips.
"You should go back."
Tang Xi turned her head away, not wanting to see him anymore.
Between them, there was always someone or something standing in the way.
It would be better to end things now than to be tormented by these issues; now that she had taken a bullet for Fu Tingzhou, they would owe each other nothing from now on.
Fu Tingzhou was adamant, "I can’t possibly leave your side."
Hearing this, Tang Xi wanted to laugh.
She and Fu Tingzhou were already divorced.
"Stop saying these useless words, Fu Tingzhou. You have better options, but I only have Tangtang."
