However, at this moment, Shen Zishan was completely unaware of the complex and unreadable expression on his son's face.

His eyes were vacant, and he was thinking, "Could it be that in my past life, I was really their son? Just like my sister said, my biological father wasn't by my side, and only that old woman was there for me."

His mother also died from severe bleeding during childbirth, so no one knew about his birth..." Thinking of this, the boy couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness and grievance.

However, this negative emotion soon dissipated, replaced by a sense of relief and comfort.

He murmured to himself, "So that's how it is. So I'm not actually that pitiful child who has no one to love or care for me. I'm also my parents' precious darling!"

At this point, the obsession this man, once a top soldier, had with being cruelly abandoned by his parents in his previous life finally vanished completely.

I feel like a baby now, I should take a nap. I yawned a little, closed my eyes, and quickly fell asleep.

Shen Xiaoxiao was already fast asleep. She had fallen asleep after her father came over and picked her up from the bed.

They were arguing so loudly, but he didn't wake up.

The police arrived in less than 5 minutes.

Two police officers arrived, one in his forties and the other in his twenties, looking at the ward that was surrounded by layers of people.

"Come on, everyone, make way. Who called the police?" the older man asked as soon as he walked in.

"Hello, I'm the one who called the police. My name is Shen Zishan," Shen Zishan quickly stepped forward.

"Just tell me what's on your mind," the older man said patiently.

“Officer, it’s like this,” Shen Zishan began to explain from the beginning, recounting the entire process.

"You two come with us to the police station and give us a proper explanation about your superiors and subordinates," the police said, treating the two as human traffickers.

Qian Danu panicked, "Officer, I'm not a human trafficker. The one who called the police is my son. I just want to sell my granddaughter."

The police were speechless. The old lady in the village didn't understand the law. "Grandma, whether it's selling your own son, granddaughter, or grandson, it's still against the law."

"Then I won't sell it anymore. Can I just give the money back to him?" Qian Danu took out a wad of cash from her pocket and stuffed it back into the man's pocket.

"Officer, I'm innocent! My wife and I have been married for over 10 years and have never had children. We wanted to adopt one, but she approached me, which is why I'm here." The man pointed at Qian Daniu and began to accuse her.

"Come with me to the police station first! Tell me everything you've done." The young policeman stepped forward, handcuffed the two men, and led them downstairs.

Qian Daniu screamed Shen Zishan's name with all her might, her face filled with terror and helplessness, as if she had placed all her hopes for life on this man: "San'er, come and save me! I don't want to go to the police station..."

Ma Aning lay quietly on the hospital bed, gazing calmly at the two children before her.

She seemed not to hear Qian Daniu's almost desperate cries for help, and didn't even lift her eyelids.

And what about Shen Zishan? He just silently looked at his wife, not responding to his mother Qian Daniu's calls, seemingly completely immersed in the warm atmosphere brought by his wife and children.

After a while, Ma Aning sighed softly and said slowly, "Let's get discharged! The doctor will come to check on us later, and if there's nothing seriously wrong, we'll go home as soon as possible."

“Otherwise, if we keep lingering here, things will only get worse and we'll just become a laughingstock.” After saying that, she looked at her husband with concern and a hint of worry in her eyes.

Upon hearing his wife's words, Shen Zishan was slightly taken aback, then reached out and vigorously rubbed his somewhat haggard face.

After a moment of silence, he raised his head and said firmly, "Okay, then I'll go find the doctor and ask about the situation. If the doctor approves your discharge, we'll pack our things and leave immediately."

"But if the doctor thinks we need to stay in the hospital for observation, then no matter what, we'll stay here obediently. We haven't done anything wrong, so why should we be afraid of them!" After saying that, Shen Zishan turned and walked towards the doctor's office.

Ma Aning gazed at her husband's departing figure, a pang of sorrow rising in her heart.

That once spirited and energetic man has now become so miserable.

Thinking of this, she gritted her teeth and whispered, "Brother Shan, you must pull yourself together! Don't forget, we still have children to raise. You are the pillar of my family and our children now! The responsibility on your shoulders is very heavy."

Shen Zishan slowly stood up and walked steadily toward the bedside.

He gazed lovingly at Ma Aning on the bed and said gently, "Wife, just focus on taking care of yourself! Don't worry, I will definitely take good care of our little family with all my heart."

"From now on, all those miscellaneous things outside will have nothing to do with me." After saying that, he gently stroked his wife's slightly pale cheek.

Then, Shen Zishan carefully helped his wife lie down, tucked her in, and said softly, "You should rest for a while. I'm going to the doctor's office to ask the obstetrician about the specific situation." Then, he turned and quickly walked out of the ward.

After making some inquiries, Shen Zishan finally found the obstetrician who was in charge of his wife's delivery.

He politely asked the doctor about precautions regarding postpartum care and newborn care, and carefully wrote them down in his notebook.

From how to help new mothers recover, to how to feed the baby; from the details to pay attention to in daily life, to possible emergencies and how to deal with them... he dared not miss any point.

When he had learned more about everything, Shen Zishan thanked the doctor gratefully and then hurriedly returned to his ward.

When Shen Xiaoxiao opened her eyes again, she was already home. She opened them slightly and vaguely realized that the surrounding environment had become unfamiliar.

After all, she was only born recently, and her vision was not yet fully developed, so the world in front of her was blurry.

However, instinctively, she could still sense that this was no longer a cold, impersonal hospital ward.

"Brother Shan, look! Our precious daughter has woken up!"

Ma Aning called out to Shen Zishan with a joyful expression. Hearing the voice, Shen Zishan hurried over and saw his daughter blinking her big, innocent eyes, curiously looking around.

Shen Zishan quickly jogged over to look at his daughter, "Daughter, I'm your father. Come on, give Dad a smile."

Shen Xiaoxiao's lips twitched. "Why do I feel like my dad has become childish? Where am I? I don't smell disinfectant. This isn't a hospital."

"Honey, this is the new house your mom and I bought. See if you like it. Let me tell you, this house is huge. When you grow up, you'll have your own house."

Shen Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up. "Really? I really will have my own room," Shen Xiaoxiao screamed in her heart.

Shen Zishan's head was throbbing from the noise his daughter was making.
