Chapter 365: Father Li’s Full Heart of Guilt

Chapter 365: Chapter 365: Father Li’s Full Heart of Guilt

Li Lingyang was dressed in a white patient gown with blue edges, yet his handsome face was filled with cold severity as he opened the file in his hand with pursed lips.

The file contained clear records related to Ning Yichu’s pregnancy check-ups.

Although Doctor Antony was responsible for her case, it fell under the management of the obstetrics and gynecology department.

Because she encountered complications during childbirth, the situation was critical. Fearing something might go wrong, the plan for her delivery was discussed among all the obstetrics doctors!

The surgery was exceptionally challenging.

There was no need to imagine to know Ning Yichu endured significant hardship inside.

Not only that...

Just as the child was finally born, the corridor caught fire unexpectedly. Everyone was busy escaping for their lives, and no one had the time to care for the patients.

It was Ning Yichu herself who, dragging her weakened body and disregarding her wounds, carried Chen Bao and Ningning out from within.

The file merely provided a textual description.

But Li Lingyang could vividly imagine just how perilous it was at the time!!

Besides, Ning Yichu had just gone through a difficult childbirth at that point...

Li Lingyang had seen women give birth before.

Even Shen Jiangqing’s natural delivery involved screams of sheer agony; it’s unimaginable what Ning Yichu went through.

His heart felt as though it were suddenly pierced by countless fine needles, triggering waves of pain.

He owed far, far too much to her and the children.

Guilt surged in Li Lingyang’s dark eyes as his expression grew increasingly cold and grim. Clenching his teeth, he asked, "Has Shen Jun’s whereabouts from four years ago been investigated thoroughly?"

All this suffering that Chu Chu went through cannot be in vain.

"Shen Jun is already deceased. Retracing his tracks from his lifetime has proven somewhat difficult, but our people are still investigating," Special Assistant Xu added. "However, the nurse saved by Lady Ning has woken up; perhaps she’ll provide some leads."

Li Lingyang’s face darkened. "Send someone over carefully; do not let anyone notice."

This time, they must dig out the person behind all of this!

After a pause, he added, "Bring me a pair of crutches."

"???" Special Assistant Xu was startled, but he immediately understood what the president intended and quickly advised, "President Li, the attending doctor said your wounds haven’t healed yet; you can’t get out of bed..."

After what had happened, how could Li Lingyang possibly lie calmly in bed?

His dark eyes emanated a chilling sharpness. He responded flatly but firmly, "Do you take orders from me or the attending doctor?"

Special Assistant Xu: "..."

...

On the other side.

Ning Yichu quickly understood Mo Baiyou’s meaning after hearing his words.

"Are you saying... there might be issues with Chen Bao and Ningning’s parentage?"

Her tone was steeped in unconcealed shock.

"I’m only guessing," Mo Baiyou replied. "The people behind Antony’s murder put in so much effort; their motives must be far from simple. And didn’t you lose consciousness for a period during the operation? The culprits didn’t use that opportunity to take your lives, which makes me think the issue very likely lies there. Chu Chu, have you ever done a paternity test for yourself with Chen Bao and Ningning?"

"When I woke up, Chen Bao and Ningning were right beside me. They clearly looked just like newborns—wrinkly and resembling little monkeys."

After pausing briefly, she added, "Besides, Chen Bao looks so much like his troublesome father, and they’ve already undergone a paternity test. This hypothesis doesn’t seem possible, right?"

Mo Baiyou thought about Chen Bao’s striking resemblance to Li Lingyang’s distinctive features, and his chest tightened in response.

One had to admit—the man had strong genes.

"What about Ningning? Has there been a paternity test for her?"

There had been one with Li Lingyang.

But because she had suffered from leukemia, it failed...

Ning Yichu’s heart suddenly skipped a beat, leaving her momentarily stunned.

"Ningning is definitely my daughter. Back when she had leukemia, I underwent compatibility testing before the donation..." But that testing didn’t include DNA verification.

Mo Baiyou speculated, "Doing a test might give everyone peace of mind."

Ning Yichu felt a flicker of unease in her chest after hearing his suggestion.

"Fine, I’ll first go talk to the kids about it. You stay here and keep an eye on Annette."

...

Ning Yichu had spent years interacting with the two children; naturally, her heart leaned towards believing they were linked to her by blood. But she couldn’t understand how the hidden culprit could manipulate anything further.

The elevator chimed softly, signaling its arrival on the kids’ ward floor.

Ning Yichu stepped out quickly, turned a corner.

And saw, at a distance in the hallway, a limping figure emerge.

The person was tall, dressed in the signature garments of a private hospital, slender in profile, walking painfully slowly.

The more she looked, the more familiar he seemed...

Her eyelid twitched as she uncertainly called out, "...Li Lingyang?"

Indeed, the man’s steps froze momentarily, and he turned with visible surprise.

It seemed he had aggravated his gun wound or something, as his face instantly turned pale, and a bead of cold sweat rolled from his temple.

"Chu Chu, you... you’ve come back!"

Li Lingyang had initially aspired to reach the ward ahead of time, hoping to surprise her and the kids.

But he had overestimated his stamina; after all, walking on two gunshot wounds was insanely painful!!

It really was him!

His injuries hadn’t healed—why on earth had he come out?

Startled, Ning Yichu immediately forgot everything else and rushed over to support him.

"Li Lingyang, are you crazy? Have you forgotten your wounds haven’t healed yet!!"

Li Lingyang gazed at her with burning intensity, the guilt in his eyes impossible to hide.

The materials Special Assistant Xu had uncovered were still vivid in his mind, stirring endless waves of emotion within him, leaving him restless.

She was just one woman, pregnant no less, yet facing a raging fire at the time. How did she manage to endure it all?

He wanted nothing more than to hold her tightly and promise to stay with her forever...

But for now, he knew he had no right.

"I’ve been resting for days; I’m perfectly fine now."

If only his face didn’t look so haggard when he said this—she might have believed him...

Ning Yichu, livid, glanced around the hallway and realized he was here on his own. Her brows furrowed tightly.

"Where’s Special Assistant Xu? How can he let you run out here alone?"

"Special Assistant Xu is busy with other matters..."

"You need to return to your ward immediately."

"Chu Chu, I missed you all. Let me stay to keep you and the kids company for a while. I’ll leave later tonight."

Li Lingyang’s dark gaze held countless emotions as he locked eyes with Ning Yichu’s slightly aggravated face, as though something within him was about to erupt.

What had gotten into Li Lingyang today?

Why was he looking at her like that?

Ning Yichu felt a rising urge to escape but found no way out of his gaze.

The commotion between the two startled Chen Bao and Ningning, who emerged from the room.

"Deadbeat dad?!"

Two small heads peeked out in surprise.

"Why... why do you look like this yet still decide to come out?"

Ningning’s chubby little face was filled with disbelief as she froze in place.

Chen Bao’s round eyes widened in shock. "Deadbeat dad, when did the doctor say you could walk?"

Ning Yichu was simultaneously annoyed and speechless.

Even the kids knew he shouldn’t be out of bed right now!!

How could he not understand?!

"..." Faced with his two children, Li Lingyang’s stoic face softened with deep guilt, while his heart swelled with waves of fear.

If Chu Chu hadn’t braved the flames to save them back then...

He might never have had the chance to see them again...

When he spoke, his voice was as tender as it could be.

"Daddy came to see you both."
