Chapter 863 - His Tears Were for Her
He knew that her parents passed away when she was young and that she was once married to Mo Yixuan, the man who had tried to intimidate him earlier. He also knew that there was another failed marriage in her past. Her ex-husband was Ye Hao, the CEO of Ye Group. He also knew what she had another child in addition to Yuan Yuan and this child was a three-year-old girl.
She had spent three years together with him but during this time, He Xiyan had vanished from society entirely, and the police had concluded that she had died by suicide.
He guessed that she must have felt hopeless and lost three years ago for her to even think of killing herself by throwing herself into the sea. The impact of two failed marriages and losing custody of her children twice must have been too hard on her.
He had gleaned all this information from the internet by searching Mo Yixuan’s name. He managed to pull up all of Mo Yixuan’s related news, including his relationship history, the battle for custody, divorce, and remarriage…
He hadn’t expected her to have such a sad and painful past.
Chen Jiahang looked at He Xiyan in his arms who was so emotional that she seemed to be crying. Tears brimmed in his eyes as well before they rolled down his cheeks and landed on her forehead.
He Xiyan felt something wet land on her forehead. She looked up and quickly saw the tears in his eyes.
“Don’t cry… Jiahang,” she said as she reached out and gently wiped the tears from his eyes. “Don’t worry. It won’t be long before you’ll recover. The doctor said that as long as you feel alright after you regain consciousness, you’ll be discharged in a week’s time. Then, you’ll be able to eat many delicious foods. I’ll make them all for you,” she said with a smile. She didn’t realize that Jiahang’s tears were for her.
She went to pour a glass of water and slowly fed it to Jiahang. Then, she wiped his face after he finished drinking.

The doctor came by to check on Jiahang. He was an ENT specialist and he was surprised to find that Jiahang who had been mute before could suddenly speak.
He gave Jiahang a thorough check-up, then he asked, “There doesn’t seem to be anything wrong with your throat and I doubt that there had been anything wrong with it in the past. Do you remember going through any kind of trauma that might have resulted in you refusing to speak?” the doctor asked doubtfully.
This was a rare medical case.
His patient wasn’t innately deaf or mute, neither did he lose his voice because his vocal cords were damaged.
Chen Jiahang caught the surprise in the doctor’s eyes and pursed his lips as he looked out of the window. No one saw the flash of pain in his eyes. He shook his head and told the doctor that he didn’t know why he couldn’t speak beforehand.
“You don’t know?” the doctor repeated and his eyes widened in surprise. He thought that there was something odd about this case.
Chen Jiahang nodded and said, “Yes, I don’t know.” His voice sounded hoarse and dry but he sounded very certain as he replied the doctor.
“That’s odd!” the doctor frowned in disbelief. “I’ve hardly ever seen such a case.”
The doctor finally prescribed basic lozenges for Chen Jiahang since he couldn’t pinpoint the exact cause of Jiahang’s previous muteness. He told He Xiyan, “Please make sure that he takes his medication on time. He hasn’t spoken in a long while, so he will need to train his vocal cords. Make sure he doesn’t tire himself out by speaking so that he can slowly adjust.”
He Xiyan nodded and thanked the doctor.
