"I don't care how many years can be good to me. If he n o longer wants me one day, I will leave in silence by myself. I can't bear to leave him now. I can't bear to leave him."
However, as soon as Hana was about to open her mouth, she suddenly thought of Sabrina. Hana was at Sabrina's house that day when she was about to give birth. When Nigel's mother had deliberately come to Sabrina's door to apologize to her, Hana was right in front of them. That was also when he had a profound understanding of how Sabrina was once unyielding and her difficulties in the past. Sabrina truly had been a hair's breadth away from death. Even so, Sabrina had never bowed her head and given in to anyone. At that time, Hana had an immense admiration for Sabrina. Had Sabrina not pulled through after being a hair's breadth away from death as well? Fine! Just pull through! The worst case was just death, so what about that? Integrity was more important than anything else.
Hana then smiled calmly. "Alright. I already understood what you said!"
Just when she was about to tell them that they may leave and she would not keep them there, Zayn's mother spoke again, "Hana, think about it. After you have thought it through, give me a call. I will give you whatever compensation you want."
Hana smiled calmly again. "Alright." "Have a good rest then. You're a sensible woman. You're truly very good. I...I wish you all the best in finding a very good companion who could stay with you for the remaining years of your life. We'll..take our leave now," said Zayn's mother. After that, both of Zayn's parents left together.
After they got out of the door to Hana's ward, Zayn's father asked, "Is it appropriate for you to do that? Will Zayn blame us? Look at that child, he looked so similar to our Zayn. How great of a child is that. For the sake of the child..."
Zayn's mother sighed. "I didn't say that just for our son's sake. Say, Zayn is only in his early thirties, but that woman is in her forties. When Zayn is thirtyeight, she would be almost fifty. If Zayn were to dump her then, she truly would never be able to find a man for herself again. When the time comes, she will be a lonely and slightly old woman. What should she do then?"
Zayn's father immediately nodded. "What you said made sense as well. I was also wondering...why was this woman so old when I saw her? When she married Zayn, she was not old and she seemed quite pretty."
"That is why they say women with advanced age grow older very quickly! We can't have such a daughter-in-law! If she goes out with me, should I introduce her as my daughter-in-law or my younger sister?"
Zayn's father snorted a laugh. "I think she looked more like your older sister!"
"Nonsense!" Zayn's mother laughed.
The couple then left the maternity ward while chatting and joking.
After she saw her father-in-law and mother-in-law walking further away, Hana got out of bed while tears streamed down her face. Although she was still weak, she dressed herself, wrapped the baby, carried the baby in her arms, and left without any hesitation. She could not stay there any longer. That was because Zayn was there all the time and he also had been accompanying them at night. If she were to wait any longer, Zayn would come, then she and her son would not be able to leave anymore.
She did not want to be a burden to Zayn. She loved Zayn. He was a good man. She could not hold him back, let alone put him in a difficult position between his wife and his parents. Hana carried her son and left the maternity ward without any hesitation. She left in a hurry. The tears in her eyes stubbornly refuse to stream down her cheeks. Just like that, she walked outside hurriedly.
Just when she was about to walk out of the hospital's entrance, Hana suddenly bumped right into a person. That person immediately held Hana and asked, "Hana, what...happened to you? You had just delivered a baby three days ago, and you almost died when giving birth. Your body hasn't even recovered yet. Where are you going while carrying your baby in your arms?
Where is Zayn?"
The person asked Hana multiple questions in a go. Hana then raised her teary eye to see who the person was.
"Miss...Miss Mann?" Hana called out with a lump in her throat.
Ruth was stunned. She immediately asked, "Hana, what happened to you?"
