To be honest, Tang Xia was really terrified this time.

After all, it's their own parents who hurt them.

But then she thought about it again and realized that it was good that she hadn't developed too deep feelings for them, so that apart from fear, she didn't feel too much sadness.

"By the way, where's Niannian?"

"Don't worry, Niannian is fine."

Upon hearing this, Tang Xia suddenly broke down emotionally for some reason.

She pushed Jin Xinghan away forcefully, large tears streaming down her face.

“How can I be at ease? Niannian is still such a young child. She has been frail and sickly since she was little. I don’t expect anything, I just hope that she can grow up happily and healthily. But because of me, her mother, she is the one who gets hurt every time.”

It would be impossible to say that Tang Xia had no resentment towards Jin Xinghan at all.

She had long regarded Jin Xinghan as the person she could entrust her life to.

However, he left without a word and cut off all contact with her, and hasn't even offered an explanation since. How could she not feel heartbroken?

She could feel the man's love for her.

However, no woman can navigate such an insecure relationship with ease.

Seeing Tang Xia like this, Jin Xinghan's eyes were filled with heartache.

"I'm sorry, I failed to protect you."

"Mr. Jin, you're joking. What is our relationship? What is your relationship with Niannian? Why should we ask you to protect us?"

Jin Xinghan knew that Tang Xia's words were said in anger, but he still couldn't help but feel a sharp pain in his heart.

He wanted to reach out and comfort her.

But just as it was about to touch Tang Xia, it suddenly pulled back.

He suppressed his emotions and reverted to his cold and aloof CEO Jin.

"You should rest well first. I'll handle the matters concerning the Song family."

Tang Xia remained silent.

Jin Xinghan left without saying a word.

After leaving the ward, I arrived at the hospital director's office on the top floor.

In the office, everyone was waiting for him.

Madam Song knelt in the corner, her hair disheveled and her makeup a mess.

The dean who colluded with her was also filled with remorse.

She shouldn't have taken the risk for such a small gain and agreed to help her son and Tang Xia get a kidney transplant.

Now that his crimes have been exposed, he doesn't even know if he can save his own life.

“Madam Song, this is not what you said before. You told me that Jin Xinghan would not come back, but now that we have offended the Jin family, neither of us can escape.”

Madam Song scoffed, "As long as my son can live a good life, what does it matter if I offend the Jin family?"

"Didn't I tell you? Using a foreign kidney is the same."

"Do you think I'm stupid? A kidney taken from a dead person is never as good as a kidney from a blood relative."

"Then you can use your own kidney."

Jin Xinghan pushed open the door, his cold gaze sweeping over the two people inside.

"Madam Song, if my information is correct, you and your son are a high match, right? Since you love your son so much, are you unwilling to donate just one kidney? Or is your so-called love conditional, requiring you to do so without harming yourself? Madam Song, do you really think Song Xingzhou would consider you a good mother?"

Perhaps Madam Song could remain unmoved by what was said earlier.

But that last sentence completely broke her down.

She worked hard and diligently her whole life, all for this son and this family.

If even Song Xingzhou hates her, then what's the point of all she's done?

"What do you know? Have you ever been a mother? What gives you the right to deny everything I've done?"

Even Assistant Lin, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but shake his head and sigh when he saw how stubborn she was.

"Mr. Jin, stop wasting your breath on her. Giving her daughter's kidney back to her son is utterly outrageous! It's the 21st century, and to still have such outdated, sexist ideas is laughable. Let's just hand her over to the police station. We have witnesses and evidence, so even if she wants to run, she can't escape."

Upon hearing that she was going to be taken to the police station, Madam Song became surprisingly calm.

This is also why she mentioned that she has made plans for herself.

The high-ranking official that Song Ziling married had connections and influence far and wide.

Even if I were to actually go inside, they would have ways to get me out quietly.

Jin Xinghan seemed to see through her thoughts, his thin lips curving slightly, and his cool voice rang out: "I forgot to tell you, your 'well-behaved' little daughter should already be abroad, and your good son-in-law is looking for you everywhere. Tell me, what would happen to you if I handed you over to him?"

Only then did Madam Song truly feel fear.

The young man in front of me always keeps his word.

She immediately crawled towards Jin Xinghan's direction, crying and begging him, "Xinghan, you can't do this to me! Do you remember our two families are still engaged? Even if I did something wrong, I'm still Tang Xia's biological mother. Aren't you afraid she'll never forgive you?"

Suddenly, Jin Xinghan squatted down and looked her straight in the eye.

"Tang Xia is a mother."

Madam Song was slightly taken aback, then immediately followed his words: "Yes, yes, I am the child's maternal grandmother."

Jin Xinghan narrowed his eyes slightly, his eyes filled with disgust.

"Precisely because she is a mother herself, she knows very well what it means for a mother to truly love her child. You don't deserve it."

Madam Song seemed to have lost all her strength and collapsed to the ground.

Jin Xinghan said all he had to say.

Just as he turned to leave, the hospital director, who had been cowering to the side, scrambled to his feet, grabbed his trouser leg, and pleaded desperately, "Mr. Jin, I was forced into it! She made me do it! I was just an honest doctor, only wanting to treat patients and help people, I didn't want to do this dirty work—ah!!!"

Assistant Lin, who was standing nearby, kicked him in the chest.

"Pah! I thought he was someone with backbone, but it turns out he's just a spineless coward. If only he had known this would happen, he wouldn't have done it in the first place!" After saying that, Assistant Lin noticed that Jin Xinghan's complexion was not good and knew that his body was nearing its limit. He immediately said, "Mr. Jin, you should go back first. I'll handle things here."

Jin Xinghan nodded.

When he returned to Tang Xia's ward, he found it empty.

He stopped a passing nurse and asked, "Where are the patients inside?"

"You're asking about Miss Tang, right? She's already been discharged from the hospital."

"OK, thanks."

Jin Xinghan leaned against the corridor wall, clutching his heart with one hand.

I felt completely powerless.

He lowered his head and said with a self-deprecating laugh, "What else is there to regret? I've done everything I wanted to do. As long as she's safe, that's enough..."
