Zhang Yanyan was stunned by my words.
Han Yuhao rolled up his sleeves and walked towards me, saying, "Say that again!"
I wasn't scared at all; instead, I took out my phone and pointed it directly at him, saying, "If you lay a finger on me, I'll make sure you lose everything!"
"Heh, I wouldn't touch a dirty girl like you. I wouldn't want to accidentally catch something nasty."
Before I could retort, my dad delivered a sharp slap across Han Yuhao's face.
"I've been holding back for An An's sake, but do you really think I won't dare to take action against you?"
Seeing my dad's flushed face, I urged him to calm down.
Zhang Yanyan quickly wiped the smile off her face and pointed at me, cursing, "You shameless little thing! You really don't know your place! You think you're too good for us? We don't care about your dirty disease..."
"Your dirty disease."
"What do you mean by that?"
"I mean the one with the disease is you, not me. Do you remember when you used my identity information for a health check? That report was actually yours."
As I spoke, I pulled up the chat history between Han Yuhao and me.
Zhang Yanyan was stunned for a few seconds before suddenly recalling everything.
Han Yuhao was so shocked that he couldn't speak, repeatedly flipping through the yellowed, tattered report.
"Mom, is what she said true? How could you have this illness? No wonder you felt unwell and came to see a doctor! This is so embarrassing!"
Zhang Yanyan instantly exploded with anger, shouting, "Embarrassing?! Now you think your mother is embarrassing? If it weren't for you gambling everywhere and racking up debts, and if I weren't trying to raise money to pay them off, how would I have gotten this illness... I really have a hard life, giving birth to such a useless child. At your age, you've never enjoyed a single day of happiness!"
"And you still have the face to blame me! If it weren't for your infidelity back then, how could my dad have abandoned us? How could I have suffered so much?"
"If it weren't for you being a burden, I don't know how much better off I would be now. I'm your mother, and now that I'm sick, you need to take care of me!"
"Haha, you call me a burden and still expect me to take care of you? Dream on!"
"You ungrateful child, just wait until I beat you to death today!"
Zhang Yanyan slapped him twice.
Han Yuhao also vented all his grievances from the past years, and in an instant, they were grappling with each other.
Both were going all out, and soon blood was drawn. People passing by in the hospital rushed over to break them apart.
Some even recorded the incident and posted it online.
"Abandoning fiancée," "Beating current wife," "Fighting with biological mother"—these tags quickly made Han Yuhao infamous.
I wanted to step forward to intervene, but my father held me back tightly: "Evil begets evil; this is their retribution for bullying you. Don't get involved."
Although the sight of a mother and son fighting was satisfying, my moral conscience compelled me to call the police for them.
Since they couldn't resolve it themselves, it was best to leave it to the authorities.
If the police couldn't solve it either, then I would have to spend the rest of my life coming to terms with it.
After reporting the incident, I helped my father slowly walk out of the hospital.
As we stepped outside, the rain had just cleared, and the air was filled with the fragrance of flowers and grass. The heaviness in my heart dissipated in an instant.
I took deep breaths of fresh air, each inhale symbolizing joy and freedom.
In the distance, a double rainbow arched across the sky. When I was a child, my mother told me that making a wish on a double rainbow was the most effective.
I gently closed my eyes, wishing only for my father and me to live happily and safely for the rest of our lives.
The aroma of roasted sweet potatoes from a nearby stall whetted my appetite. Opening my eyes, I found that my father had already handed me a sweet potato.
I took a big bite; it was so fragrant and sweet.
[The End]
