Chapter 1101: 725: Double Wood Is Not Forest, Heart Beneath Fields (End of Volume 4)

But whether there will be adverse rejection reactions post-surgery depends on when Yin Shixiu wakes up. On the phone, Yin Shixiu’s voice carried the weakness and exhaustion typical of just waking up after surgery.

"Are you feeling uncomfortable? Is the doctor beside you? Can you make a call?"

"It’s okay... I’m just worried about you..."

The phone was held by a nurse, with the speaker mode on.

The breathing tube on Yin Shixiu’s nose hadn’t been removed yet.

Su Xiaomeng didn’t know what to say for a moment. She was really worried, but if she said too much, she feared she might come across as overly verbose and timid, and also worried he might feel burdened.

Regarding the medical condition, she had already spoken to the doctor over the phone earlier, and it was essentially just about those things.

"Ah, honey..."

"What’s wrong?"

"I was disdained by your son!"

Su Xiaomeng thought of the awkward moment during breakfast when "Santa Claus" was exposed by Prince Huang, and felt aggrieved enough to cry.

"Hahaha... what happened?"

Yin Shixiu gently laughed and asked softly...

"Let me tell you!..."

A whole bunch of chatter followed, Xiao Meng was filled with grievance, frustration, helplessness, and sadness...

After hearing it all, Yin Shixiu was also quite amused.

"Now I finally understand what my parents used to tell me..."

"What did they say?"

"A son too smart and cunning can really reduce the fun parents have... Now I deeply empathize with your parents, no wonder they sent you away when you were so young!"

"Haha... so you would send Huang Huang away early too?"

"No, that’s not possible!"

"Hahaha..."

Listening to his laughter, Su Xiaomeng felt much relieved; he sounded okay, much better than after the previous two surgeries.

"Meng Meng..."

"Hmm?"

"Merry Christmas."

"Merry Christmas."

After hanging up the phone, Su Xiaomeng sat at the desk; outside, Claire was teaching Shuangshuang and Huanghuang English words.

After resting slightly, she continued to read and practice.

What Su Xiaomeng didn’t expect was that by evening, a mysterious guest arrived quietly.

When the door opened, it was Princess Sherry.

Su Xiaomeng was extremely surprised at that moment, looking at Princess Sherry, who was obviously disguised, with a few snowflakes on her wool coat.

She quickly invited her in.

Shuangshuang and Huanghuang seemed to have a slight impression of Sherry, but the impression was indeed not deep.

However, Shuangshuang had watched too many fairy tale stories, and as soon as her mother introduced the aunt who came in as a princess, her eyes were immediately filled with stars.

Becoming a princess, a queen, a princess consort is a lovely dream for young girls.

They only see princesses, princess consorts, and queens wearing noble dresses as the brightest.

"Princess Auntie..."

"Haley, just call me Shirley."

Sherry squatted down, her gaze level with the world, and Shuangshuang held her face excitedly,

"Wow... can I really?"

Sherry looked at Su Xiaomeng,

"Your daughter is really cute."

"Who wouldn’t be when you are a princess?"

Su Xiaomeng laughed, "China abolished its monarchy long ago, and the fairy tales Chinese kids read like Grimm’s and Andersen’s mostly originated from you in the United Kingdom; princesses, royal consorts... they make our Chinese girls swoon, each wishing to become a princess, a royal consort."

Sherry listened and laughed,

"Indeed... didn’t every girl fantasize about being a princess, a queen when they were young..."

"Speaking of which, how come you are here at this time? Today is Christmas... in the royal family..."

"I won’t be a princess much longer."

"..."

Su Xiaomeng was taken aback.

Sherry sat on the sofa.

After greeting the guest, Prince Huang lay on a nearby sofa playing with his yellow transformer truck.

But Shuangshuang simply couldn’t easily move her gaze away from the "living princess," sitting very close to Sherry, her big eyes scrutinizing Sherry thoroughly from head to toe, left to right.

Sherry did not show any displeasure, rather she indulged Shuangshuang’s curiosity.

"What did you mean by what you just said?"

Su Xiaomeng was somewhat confused but brewed two cups of hot coffee and brought them over, immediately asking.

Sherry raised the freshly brewed coffee, sniffed it, and slightly curled her lips,

"I intend to give up my royal noble status and divorce Prince Harry peacefully."

"Previously... I heard from Eric that between you two it was because of the child... but the last time I saw you, weren’t you pregnant?"

"Unfortunately... I couldn’t keep it."

Sherry shrugged her shoulders, speaking with apparent lightness.

But the listener was precisely Su Xiaomeng, a mother who had also lost a child.

Under the light description, there might be a weight as heavy as a thousand pounds.
