Zhu's mother When thinking about going to the hotel to find Zhu Junjie, her eyes became even more sour, unable to control the tears, "I'm sorry Xiao Song, the saddest thing is you, it's because I'm not a good mom, and I need you to comfort me in turn."
"Mom, I have something to ask you."
"You can ask."
Zhu's mother was extremely satisfied with Song Lan. Now that Zhu Junjie had done such a thing, Song Lan didn't complain about him even once in front of her. This made Zhu's mother regard Song Lan with even more admiration.
Song Lan opened her mouth but didn't say anything.
Seeing that Song Lan seemed hesitant to speak, Zhu's mother comforted her, saying, "Xiao Song, if you have any questions, feel free to ask. I promise I won't hide anything from you."
Zhu's mother caught a glimpse of Zhu's father from the corner of her eye and knew in her heart, "Go out and buy some food for me. I'm hungry. Get some crispy meat or something that Xiao Song likes to eat."
"Mom, it's okay. I'm not hungry."
"Even if you're not hungry, you should eat something. Look at how much weight you've lost recently."
Zhu's mother looked at Zhu with loving and concerned eyes.
Zhu's father noticed that Zhu's mother and Song Lan had something to talk about, so he left the hospital room.
As soon as the door closed, Zhu's mother hurriedly said, "Xiao Song, are you unable to ask certain questions because your dad is here? Now that he has left, you can speak freely."
"What I want to ask is, does Mom only have two children?"
"Yes! I only gave birth to two, and I have no other children. Xiao Song, you don't think I’m hiding a love child from your dad, do you?" Zhu's mother blushed. "Your dad and I have a good relationship. We've never argued or raised our voices at each other. I know he treats me well, and I would never do anything to betray him."
"Mom, you misunderstood me. I... I meant, were you carrying a single fetus when you were pregnant with Zhu Junjie?"
Zhu's mother asked in confusion, "Why do you suddenly ask about this?"
"I just asked casually."
"You wouldn't have heard something, would you? But you're not the type to bring up old stories for no reason," Zhu's mother said, making Song Lan catch on to something. She asked eagerly, "Mom, do you mean you were not pregnant with a single child back then?"
If that's the case...
"Indeed, it is not a single birth."
"What about the other child? Where did he go?"
Song Lan's tone was urgent; she was eager to learn any information related to that child.
Zhu's mother saw the situation and asked, " Xiao Song, why are you so concerned about this matter?"
"Mom, don't ask about that for now. You tell me, what happened to that child?"
"Gone."
When mentioning the child who passed away at birth, Zhu's mother had a face full of sorrow.
"What happened?"
"The doctor said it was due to lack of oxygen and suffocation."
"Did you see him not breathing with your own eyes?"
"I saw it."
Thinking of that scene, Zhu's mother had a pained expression on her face.
That's her child!
Naked, covered in bruises, with blood, looking small, that appearance made her heart ache.
If it wasn't Song Lan asking about this, but someone else, she wouldn't want to mention a word.
"Mom, have you ever thought that the child might not be dead?"
"How is that possible! The doctor wouldn't..."
Zhu's mother suddenly paused at this point.
"Mom, did you remember something?"
"I... The hospital I went to when I gave birth wasn't the one I had previously booked. The hospital I had an appointment with was a bit far from home. When my water broke, and since it was twins, I was worried they might be in danger, so I went to a hospital that was closer to home."
If it had been the hospital she had booked, Zhu's mother could have confidently said that the doctors wouldn't have lied to her!
Because the doctor is an acquaintance, she wouldn't do anything to harm them. But in an unfamiliar hospital, she couldn't guarantee whether the doctor assisting her with childbirth was unscrupulous. “Song Lan, do you know about that child?”
“I can only speculate that the person standing before us now is not Zhu Junjie, but rather that child from back then.”
Zhu's mother: !!!
Song Lan's words were like a sudden thunder on a calm day, leaving Zhu's mother stunned on the spot.
She murmured, "When I was pregnant, the medical technology was limited at that time. The prenatal examinations were not as thorough as they are now. I found out I was pregnant with twin when I was five months along. Your father was always worried about me. At that time, the company was not as big as it is now, and he needed to be there every day. I was afraid that because I was pregnant with twins, he would be distracted and unable to focus on work, which would affect the company."
I agreed with the doctor not to tell your dad for now and to give him a surprise when the baby is born. However, later the doctor informed me that the baby had passed away. I was afraid your dad would be heartbroken, so I took the blame upon myself and didn't tell him about it. I secretly had the housekeeper bury the baby, and I make time to visit him every year.
Although the baby only stayed in her womb for a few months, that bond of blood and kinship was something she could never let go of in her lifetime. At first, she would secretly blame Zhu's father for not protecting the child well enough, feeling that he left before even getting a chance to see the world.
It took her more than two years to slowly emerge from the guilt after getting pregnant with Zhu Junqiao.
"Mom..."
" Xiao Song, are you sure he is my other child? I want to go see him! I... I want to ask him how he has been all these years."
A child who is taken away from her mother right after birth must have suffered a lot!
Zhu's mother was very emotional and tried to get out of bed, but was stopped by Song Lan. "Mom, calm down first and listen to me."
" Xiao Song, Mom can't calm down. That's my child! I only saw him once after he was born, and since then, I have had no news of him. I haven't had the right to be a mother. I..."
"You can't go see him now. If he finds out that we've already seen through his identity, what if he hurts Zhu Junjie?"
"Why would he want to hurt Junjie? Both he and Junjie are my children. Even if his identity is known to us, we will still accept him. He has nothing to worry about."
"You're oversimplifying things. Haven't you noticed his hostility towards us? Perhaps in his eyes, it's you who abandoned him."
"He misunderstood, how could we possibly abandon our own child? I will explain it to him!"
"Mom! You can't go for now!"
Song Lan raised his voice, and Zhu's mother stopped moving.
"Song Lan, you are also a mother, do you know how I feel right now? That's my child that I lost for over thirty years! I can finally see him now, I wish I could grow wings and fly to him immediately."
"Mom, I understand how you feel, but you still need to restrain yourself. You've had contact with him, you can feel the hostility in him. He's a stubborn person, not someone you can persuade with just a few words. Until we find Zhu Junjie and ensure his safety, you can't see that person."
"Xiao Song..."
"Zhu Junjie is also your child. You cannot ignore Zhu Junjie's safety just because you feel guilty about another child."
This was the first time Song Lan spoke to Zhu's mother in such a stern tone, and she felt uneasy inside.
