Zhong Xiaomian said angrily while wiping her mouth.

"Just kidding, just kidding..."

"I'll find you another bowl..."

"No, I know you're healthy."

“Is that a question of health or not?!”

Zhong Xiaomian twisted the sleeve of Xu Qiubai's clothes.

Xu Qiubai smiled at her, which simply livened up the atmosphere.

"Tell me, what did you talk about?"

"Hmm... maybe... I think my words came true..."

"What's the prophecy?"

"Just those words of Bai Yueguang's little lover..."

"?!!"

Zhong Xiaomian was extremely surprised.

Xu Qiubai briefly told him about Windsor, focusing on the stories of their youth and downplaying what happened after Zhong Nanyi got married.

"what……"

After hearing this, Zhong Xiaomian couldn't eat anymore.

"Aunt Windsor, why are you so pitiful..."

"Uh, aren't you afraid your mother will beat you up if this is your first sentence?"

"But this is the truth! I can't speak against my conscience just because of my position."

That's why you always make your mother angry...

Xu Qiubai added in his heart.

He has been here for so long that he has become accustomed to speaking differently to different people.

But Zhong Xiaomian is right, there is no doubt about that.

"So Dad is always trying to escape because he owes both sides?"

"If it were you, what would you choose?"

"I...I would choose Aunt Windsor..."

"Haha."

Xu Qiubai still laughed.

"Don't laugh!"

Zhong Xiaomian reached out to hit someone.

"Perhaps he felt that this was a vicious cycle that could never be solved, and he was upset just thinking about it, so he simply gave your mother everything he could, just wanting to have some peace and quiet. But he didn't expect your mother to keep pursuing him."

"It also……"

Zhong Xiaomian wanted to say something, but in the end, she said nothing.

"But the current situation is that Windsor seems to have lost contact. Why don't you try to contact her? Maybe she doesn't believe the emails and messages I sent her."

Xu Qiubai asked Zhong Xiaomian to try it as well.

"What about mom..."

"Just leave it to me."

……

After dinner, Xu Qiubai called Kang Nuanxue.

If Xu Qiubai really wanted to contact someone abroad, the biggest help he could think of was her.

"Hello~Xiaobai."

"Sister Nuanxue."

"What can I do for you?"

"Are you so sure that I am bothering you by looking for you?"

"Well, what else, do you want to say hello to the baby in my belly? Hehe~"

When this matter was mentioned, Xu Qiubai felt somewhat embarrassed.

But she looked happy.

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore. Tell me what trouble you are in."

Xu Qiubai explained the specific events to her.

"Dr. Windsor of Iceland... that's a big gap."

"Just asking, it doesn't matter if there's no way."

"There is a way, wait for my news~"

Kang Nuanxue did not ask Xu Qiubai about the specific purpose.

She agreed so quickly that Xu Qiubai didn't know what to talk to her about next.

"How are you?"

"That's fine. No need to force a topic, Xiaobai. I've been observing you for a month and I know you very well."

"Um..."

Xu Qiubai really didn't have much to talk about with Kang Nuanxue.

"I am very happy to hear your voice."

Kang Nuanxue remains cheerful.

……

"At least... remember to come and see the baby on the day it's born..."

This is what Kang Nuanxue whispered before hanging up the phone.

…………

Kang Nuanxue's network of contacts was richer than Xu Qiubai had imagined. Only one day later, she brought good news.

A friend of the Kang family contacted Dr. Windsor.

But at the same time, she also brought bad news.

Windsor fell seriously ill.

This time, it is a real serious illness and the situation is quite grim.

Due to the need for hospitalization, Windsor hasn't checked his email and private messages for a long time.

But this time when Xu Qiubai found her, she deliberately opened her email and wrote a serious reply to Xu Qiubai.

And not long after, Zhong Xiaomian said that she also received a reply from Windsor.

The two chatted a lot on the Internet.

"Aunt Windsor said...she doesn't have much time left..."

Zhong Xiaomian was about to cry.

"what?"

Xu Qiubai seemed very confused because he had specifically asked about Windsor's condition and her reply was "not bad."

"Can I see the letter she sent you?"

Xu Qiubai took it and looked at it carefully, and it was exactly as Zhong Xiaomian said.

Is it because she is Zhong Nanyi's daughter that she is willing to say more?

There was a passage in these emails that made Zhong Xiaomian particularly sad.

That was Windsor's apology. She thought she was a sinner because she had destroyed the happy life of Zhong Xiaomian's family.

"I want to...see Aunt Windsor for the last time..."

This was Zhong Xiaomian's tearful request to Xu Qiubai.

She felt that only Xu Qiubai could persuade her parents to agree.

…………

The next day, Xu Qiubai went to the institute to meet Zhong Nanyi again.

"What?!!"

Zhong Nanyi's reaction was quite shocked.

"how come..."

He, who was always steady and calm, stood up and wandered around the clinic in panic.

"Would you like to go and see her?"

"Of course I would, but..."

"Now that you have been working abroad for so many years, there shouldn't be such strict restrictions on leaving the country, right?"

"Well, it's not that strict anymore."

"Then go, as soon as possible, while she can still talk to you."

"I need to think about it carefully... Before that, can you help me send two postcards to her?"

Zhong Nanyi made another request to Xu Qiubai.

"With postcards, you can get opportunities no matter how many you send, but the chance to meet someone may only come once in a lifetime."

“If it’s really decided, I can still help.
