"He wanted Ye Cheng and me to have a good life together, so he could rest easy,"
"That’s how all parents are," Chu Qing remembered that Xiaofeng didn’t seem to be He Ximei’s own child, "Does your biological mother know you’ve come here?"
Xiaofeng shook her head, "I don’t even know who my biological mother is. The woman I used to think was my mother isn’t really my mother."
She had originally thought Luo Yuzhu was her mother, but it turned out she wasn’t.
Chu Qing, feeling somewhat moved, said, "I’m a bit confused by this story. Explain it to me."
"My former mother also had a child. Not long after the baby turned a month old, she accidentally killed the baby. Terrified inside, she rushed to the hospital, and at the hospital entrance, she saw another baby that looked almost identical to hers. She threw away her own dead child and took the other baby instead," Xiaofeng explained.
Shocking, isn’t it? Indeed, it’s too melodramatic to believe.
If she were still in the 21st century, hearing such a thing, she would definitely think it was straight out of a TV drama.
But this event was real and admitted by Luo Yuzhu herself. How could it be false?
Listening to Xiaofeng’s story, Chu Qing found it unbelievable. She raised her head, looked at Xiaofeng, and began to recount a past event very seriously, "When you were in Xijiang County, you also had a daughter. At that time, our family of three had just purchased tickets to return to the Imperial Capital...."
The phone rang, interrupting Chu Qing’s chat. She answered the call, "Hello."
"Mom, you have to come over, my sister had an accident, Mom. You need to hurry," Xiaoyan’s hand trembled as he held the phone, "Mom, please hurry over."
"What?" Chu Qing was startled, nearly dropping the phone.
After hanging up, Chu Qing handed the child to the nanny, "Nanny Yu, please look after the child. Xiaonian appears to be in trouble; I must go immediately."
"Godmother, I’ll come with you," Xiaofeng stood up and said to Nanny Yu, "Nanny Yu, please take care of the two children."
Nanny Yu’s expression also seemed grave, "Go ahead, I’m here at home."
Xiaofeng, disregarding the unwashed clothes left in the bathroom, rushed to the hospital with Chu Qing in haste.
"Xiaoqi, Xiaoqi, I’m leaving Erbao in your care. I’m heading to the hospital with my godmother."
"Master, rest assured, I can sense the presence of the two young masters."
Upon arriving at the hospital, Xiaonian had already been taken to the emergency room. Xiaoyan stood outside the emergency room. Seeing Chu Qing approach, he couldn’t help but throw himself into her arms, "Mom, I failed to protect my sister."
Chu Qing looked at the words "Emergency Room", her legs weak, but with her child right there, she couldn’t panic, "What exactly happened? Explain it clearly."
"This morning, Xiaonian asked me to go out because she wanted to invite our grandfather over to our place. We were riding bicycles when, halfway there, we encountered a group of unidentified men. They were skilled, and we stood no chance against them. During the fight, my sister was stabbed in the abdomen."
Xiaoyan’s body was covered in blood, presumably from when he had brought Xiaonian here.
"Those damn culprits," Chu Qing trembled with rage. Whoever dared to harm her daughter, she would dare to take their lives.
The emergency room door swung open, "The patient has lost a lot of blood and needs a transfusion. You all should go get tested first to see if anyone is a match."
"I’ll go," Xiaoyan stood up as soon as he heard, "I’m her brother. I’ll go."
"I’m going too," Xiaofeng stood up.
Chu Qing looked at Xiaofeng and nodded at her, "Xiaofeng, thank you for being here, godmother really appreciates it."
After the tests, both Xiaofeng and Xiaoyan were found to have the same blood type and both were healthy enough to .
Because Xiaofeng had recently given birth and her body hadn’t fully recovered, the nurses didn’t take much from her.
Not long after the plasma had been administered, the doors of the emergency room opened and the attending physician came out, "The patient is out of mortal danger now. She needs to be transferred to a regular room and rest well."
"Thank you, doctor, thank you," Chu Qing’s head buzzed, and tears streamed down her face as she watched the gurney being carted out.
"Mom, I’m not dead," Xiaonian managed a weak smile, "I’m resilient and won’t leave you so easily like my sister did."
"You rascal, are you trying to scare me to death? If you want to see your grandfather, you could have just called him, and he would have come over. Did you really need to go fetch him yourselves?" Chu Qing clutched Xiaonian’s hand tightly, "What would I have done if something serious had happened to you?"
She had already lost one daughter; she couldn’t bear to lose another.
"Mom, you’re hurting me," Xiaonian looked at her mother’s reaction, tried to smile but ended up crying, "I’m like a cockroach; I can’t be killed that easily."
