Chapter 1418: Nianyao and Mo Xicheng (91)
She gave Mo Zhi a look of disappointment, turned around and strode out of the ward.
When she walked out, Mo Hai turned back to glance at Mo Zhi and made a gesture of stabbing at the air, looking every bit resentful at the boy’s failure. Then he shook his head and ran out after his wife. “Li Shu, Li Shu, don’t be angry. The boy’s still young and we can talk things over with him. Don’t be angry.”
Mo Hai’s desperate attempts to placate his wife could be heard from Mo Zhi’s ward, so the boy’s expression immediately changed.
After being beaten up, not only did his mother not help him seek justice, but instead she slapped him. And the father he had thought doted on him since he was a child did not stand by him to comfort him, but instead had gone chasing after the woman.
These were his parents.
No, that wasn’t his mother.
His gaze fell on the only woman left in the room.
Yao Lili stood and made sure the couple had gone away before she spun around and dashed towards Mo Zhi’s bed. She embraced his head with both her hands and looked at his face, asking, “My son! Is it painful? She actually hit you! Your face was just recovering and now it’s swollen again, sob, sob, sob.”
Now, the isolated and helpless Mo Zhi, the Mo Zhi who had been lying in bed all day, felt double as isolated and lonely. He looked at the woman before him, who was sincerely showing her emotions, thoroughly concerned about his welfare. He suddenly felt inexplicably dismal.
Yao Lili had once told him that she was his real mother, while Li Shu was Mo Xicheng’s mother, and that she had switched the two babies in the past.
When Mo Zhi had heard this, he had felt that the story was a great joke.
But later, when Yao Lili time and again helped him unconditionally, he had secretly done a DNA test.
Indeed, the report had shown a blood relation between him and Yao Lili.
Yao Lili was his real mother.
This discovery had been terrifying to him.
After that, he had kept making use of Yao Lili without acknowledging his discovery.
He hated Yao Lili and had no affection towards her.
But now, when Yao Lili was the only person left by his side, he finally realized that there was only one person in the whole wide world who would be good to him wholeheartedly and unconditionally, and it was Yao Lili.
Suddenly, he reached out, embraced Yao Lili’s waist and buried his head in her embrace. Then he called out quietly, “Mom!”
Yao Lili froze and, as though suddenly realizing something, quickly responded, “Yes!”
A faint smile appeared on her face as she tightened her embrace around her son’s arms.
–
Elsewhere in the hospital. Li Shu strode out of the ward and to the elevator.
Mo Hai followed closely behind her, calling out to her desperately and ignoring the strange looks that the nurses and doctors were throwing at them.
It was not until Li Shu was standing at the elevator, hitting its b.u.t.ton randomly and impatiently, that Mo Hai managed to catch up to her.
He looked at her from the back, thinking of what to say to cheer her up. Then he gulped and took a step forward. “Xiao Shu, don’t be angry anymore, you-”
Before he could finish his words, he stopped.
He saw something roll down Li Shu’s cheeks and fall gently on the ground with a small splash.
