TFWYH – Chapter 664 Unforgettable

Tang Wan raised a brow slightly. “Third Prince, your awareness is quite admirable, but I’m very tired. Could you let me finish speaking before you continue hugging your consort?”

If it had been anyone else, the Third Prince absolutely would not have given them face.

After all, he and his wife had just experienced a brush with life and death, nearly separated forever.

Right now, all he wanted was to hold his wife.

But this was Tang Wan — the woman who had saved his wife’s life.

No matter how many suspicions he had once harbored toward her, at this moment, she was his benefactor.

The Third Prince stood up and respectfully cupped his hands toward Tang Wan. In an extremely sincere tone, he said:

“County Lady Wengnai, I will never forget today’s great kindness. From now on, no matter what you ask of me, as long as it is within my ability, I will never refuse.”

He used “I” rather than “this prince,” clearly treating Ling Yu and Tang Wan as his own people now.

Tang Wan replied, “There is nothing I need from Your Highness. It’s only that my husband serves within officialdom, so I hope that in the future, Your Highness may look after him somewhat. This humble wife would be endlessly grateful.”

The Third Prince froze briefly, glanced at Ling Yu, then burst into laughter.

“Minister Ling truly has a virtuous wife. What a blessing indeed.”

Ling Yu smiled faintly. “Your Highness flatters us. But right now, what Your Highness should truly be concerned about is the young heir. Please listen carefully to what my wife has to say.”

The Third Prince awkwardly laughed before finally turning his attention to his son.

Pink and tiny, wrinkled like a little old man.

It looked as though even the slightest squeeze would crush him.

So ugly!

Yet despite being such a tiny, ugly little thing, the Third Prince’s eyes unconsciously reddened with tears.

This was his son — the child his beloved woman had nearly died giving birth to.

Carefully, the Third Prince took the baby into his arms and looked toward Tang Wan.

“County Lady Wengnai, may I ask… what exactly is wrong with this child?”

Tang Wan answered seriously, “I’ve already examined him. He truly does suffer from chest impediment.”

“Chest impediment…” The Third Prince stared at the tiny ugly baby in his arms while muttering those words. His heart ached as he asked with great difficulty, “Does that mean… he won’t survive?”

Tang Wan shook her head. “No. I’ve already given him emergency treatment. As long as he’s cared for meticulously in the future, he can still grow up safely. However, you must prepare yourselves mentally — caring for him cannot tolerate the slightest negligence. He must only be looked after personally by yourselves or by trusted confidants. Never hand him over to unfamiliar people. This child cannot withstand even the smallest hardship. If anything happens in the future, you may come find me anytime. As long as I’m alive, I will do everything in my power to protect this child.”

Fortunately, Tang Wan possessed her storage space filled with modern medicine.

Otherwise, she would not have been able to save this child at all.

Hearing this, the Third Prince immediately hugged the baby and bowed deeply toward Tang Wan.

Startled, Tang Wan quickly pulled Ling Yu aside to avoid the bow. “Your Highness, what are you doing?”

The Third Prince answered with utmost seriousness:

“At this moment, I am not some Third Prince. I am merely a husband and a father. On behalf of my wife and child, I thank the County Lady once again for her great kindness.”

At that moment, Tang Wan’s impression of the so-called “useless” Third Prince completely changed.

Although he could sometimes be foolish, lacked self-awareness, and was wholly unsuitable to become Crown Prince—

He possessed a pure and sincere heart.

And that alone was already exceedingly rare.

Tang Wan’s tone softened somewhat as well. “It is simply a physician’s duty. Your Highness need not be like this.”

…

Afterward, Tang Wan gave the Third Prince and his wife many more instructions regarding things they needed to pay attention to.

Only then did she leave the palace together with Ling Yu.

Having worked nonstop for an entire day and night, Tang Wan fell asleep the moment she boarded the carriage.

Ling Yu gently caressed her cheek and lowered his head to place a soft kiss upon her forehead.

Wan-niang, you’ve worked hard.

Sleep well.

Your husband will take you home.

Though once we get back… it’s probably going to become very lively!
