The next day, Mo Yan rested for a day. Because of yesterday’s situation, CEO Song directly approved her leave.
Although Mo Yan and Mo Cheng had agreed to come together last night, Mo Yan and Luo Tao still made a trip to the hospital first.
When they came to Mo Yan’s mother’s ward, because she wanted to ask about her mother’s past, Mo Yan told Luo Tao to wait outside for a while.
When she knocked on the door, her mother was leaning against the headboard in a daze. When she heard the voice, she turned around and gave Mo Yan a gentle smile.
“Yan, why are you here?” Mother Mo asked.
“Mother, how are you feeling today?” Mo Yan smiled as she walked to mother Mo’s bedside and put down the fruit.
“There are a lot of caretakers taking care of me. Why do you keep coming?” Mother Mo smiled as she answered Mo Yan.
Seeing that her mother was energetic, Mo Yan was also very happy. She knew that her mother’s body was slowly getting better.
“Mom, I came here today because I have something to ask you,” Mo Yan said carefully.
“Okay, tell me.”
Mo Yan hesitated for a moment, but she still asked, “Mom, I want to ask you about Cheng’s background.”
Mother Mo’s hand that took the fruit from Mo Yan froze, and her eyes looked at Mo Yan in a daze.
Mo Yan lowered her eyes and continued, “Yesterday, Mo Lian came to the house to cause a ruckus. She said a lot of things, including the fact that Cheng is not Mo Dong’s child.”
Mother Mo’s hand that was holding the fruit slowly tightened and fell silent.
The ward was silent. Even the sound of breathing could be heard.
“Why did Mo Lian come to our house?” After a long time, mother Mo asked Mo Yan.
Mo Yan felt that Mo Lian wanted to take revenge on her for what had happened before, but saying so would require a lot of explanation. She could only say simply, “Mother, you know that Mo Lian has always been targeting me. It’s normal for her to want to cause trouble, but she even brought up Cheng.”
Mother Mo was silent for a long time before she looked at Mo Yan. Seeing that Mo Yan’s eyes were filled with gentleness and determination, mother Mo could not help but shed tears as she covered her face and wept.
She did not know when her daughter had become so strong. It was her fault for making her children suffer so much.
“Cheng, he is not Mo Dong’s child.”
The affirmative answer that mother Mo gave was like a heavy hammer striking Mo Yan’s heart. Even though she was prepared for it, her mind was still blank for a moment.
Mother Mo wept for a long time before she spoke with a trembling voice, “When you were five years old, I went to a class reunion once. That night, I was drunk.”
“Originally, I asked Mo Dong to come pick me up, but I don’t know why I woke up in the hotel room the next day, and…”
Mother Mo could not continue speaking. She could only cover her face with both hands and not look into Mo Yan’s eyes. Mother Mo’s words also reminded Mo Yan of the time when she was five years old. There was a period of time when Mo Dong and her mother had a cold war. Later, the two’s relationship inexplicably eased up, and then there was Cheng.
It was also after that that the Mo family’s business slowly improved, and the family’s life became prosperous.
Mo Yan’s hands clenched into fists. She suppressed her emotions and asked, “Mom, is this the reason why you and Mo Dong didn’t split up your assets after the divorce?”
Mother Mo nodded. She was afraid that this matter would be exposed in front of others.
Mo Yan took a deep breath, grabbed mother Mo’s hand, and said, “Mom, you said that you asked Mo Dong to pick you up. Did you call him?”
“Yes, I remember calling him and sending him a text message. I don’t know why…”
At this point, mother Mo suddenly grabbed her hair, but she didn’t use her fists to hit her head. The sudden violence scared Mo Yan so much that her heart was beating wildly. She quickly hugged mother Mo tightly and pressed the emergency bell beside the bed.
“Mother, mother, what’s wrong with you? Don’t scare me, don’t scare me.”
Mo Yan hugged mother Mo and asked anxiously, but mother Mo seemed to be unable to hear anything as she beat everything around her. Luo Tao also seemed to have noticed the abnormality in the room and rushed in directly.
Seeing the situation in front of her, he quickly held onto mother Mo with Mo Yan. The doctor quickly rushed over and injected a tranquilizer into mother Mo to calm her down.
Mo Yan looked at her mother’s sleeping face and felt mentally and physically exhausted. Every time she felt that one thing was over, another thing would happen again.
When she heard the doctor telling her not to do anything that would provoke the patient and asking her to take her mother to see a psychiatrist, Mo Yan’s heart was filled with mixed feelings.
Whether it was Cheng or her mother, terrible things had happened without her knowing, and she was powerless to do anything about it.
It was not until she made an appointment with Mo Cheng that Mo Yan instructed the caregivers to take care of her mother. Only then did Mo Yan and Luo Tao go to the entrance of the hospital to wait for Cheng.
“Sister, why didn’t you go up first?”
Mo Cheng could not help but ask in surprise when he saw Mo Yan and Luo Tao waiting for him.
“We just arrived too. I wanted to wait for you.”
“Okay, then let’s go up together!”
