Li Ze answered it, “What’s the matter?”
“What did you tell your mother?”
Feeling his anxiety, an even reproachful nature, Li Ze hurriedly asked, “What’s wrong with Mom?”
“She almost jumped out from the window! She is now crying on the floor! What on earth did you say to her?”
“Take care of her, I’ll call you later.”
“What happened?”
“Dad, I’ll call you later. I still have more important matters to attend to.”
“What’s more important than your mother’s life?”
Li Ze hung up the phone as he didn’t want to continue the call. He stood beside his wife, quietly looking at her and she looked lonely. He was considering how to get the truth from her. He didn’t want a separation, especially without knowing the truth.
In Li Ze’s eyes, since his wife didn’t want to tell the truth with the excuse of separation, the truth was definitely very dirty.
Therefore, he wanted to force her to tell the truth.
But Li Ze doesn’t have the heart to force her because of the death of their son.
He squatted on the floor, “It’s my mother and me who deserved to be blamed for the death of our son, I apologize to you, but I …”
Ding Jie interrupted him, “Do apologies work? You were responsible for his death, your son’s death. I wanted to keep it a secret. Therefore, I lied that our son was transferred while I was taking a nap. What about you? You were continually searching for the truth. Hubby, you’ll find it better not to know the truth. You really shouldn’t have called your mother just now, it’ll only make her feel guilty.”
“I regret it then,” Li Ze said, “I was really stupid and without hindsight. Actually, I feel very uncomfortable right now. If I hadn’t left the hospital, our son might have survived. ”
“It’s over,” Ding Jie was leaning against the door like before, her face covered in her hair, and mumbled, “Our son is already dead. It’s impossible for his resurrection even with any confession. Sometimes I usually thought about our son at the sight of Weiwei. It’s only fifteen minutes, but we did have a son. I can still remember his cries, and the little hands and feet kept moving. But his voice faded in less than five minutes as if he was getting farther and farther away.”
Ding Jie began to cry again.
Li Ze just took her into his arms.
She tried to push her husband away, but after lightly nudging, she chose to hug him in return.
With the warm embrace, Ding Jie cried even more hysterically, with her delicate body trembling violently.
As for Li Ze, he frowned, holding his wife tightly, without knowing what to do
Ding Jie calmed down after over ten minutes.
“Hubby, do you know why I want a second child?”
“You want a real child.”
“Right,” Ding Jie mumbled, closing her eyes” Actually, I have another reason for adopting Weiwei. I want to punish you both. I thought my son had been killed by you, so if I had adopted a daughter without your knowledge, it would be a shock to you when I suddenly tell you about it. For example, if I said it abruptly when Weiwei is fifteen, you two will definitely be desperate, especially your mother. She’d be surprised to find out her son had no offspring. Every time I imagined it, I feel like I’m getting revenge for her.”
Ding Jie exhaled a long breath and continued, “I’m just an ordinary woman. I don’t believe I am wrong, because a child is everything to me.”
So did Li Ze. If he didn’t agree with it, he would not have complained to his mother about it.
If his mother hadn’t done it, his son would be four years old by now.
Li Ze felt heartbroken too.
Sighing heavily, Li Ze held his wife tightly, “It was our fault. Sorry, I apologize.”
“Don’t apologize. No one can get resurrected,” Ding Jie said. “I didn’t want a second child in the past for two reasons. The fear of Weiwei’s disfavor, and the refusal to satisfy your mother. She had no right to get a second grandson after killing the first one. But as time went on, I wanted to abandon the idea of malice, and to leave a descendant to myself and to you. Anyway, Weiwei doesn’t have any blood relationship with us after all. Although I don’t care about it, it’s necessary sometimes. ”
“After all, everyone hopes that their blood inherits them.”
“Right,” Ding Jie murmured, putting her head against husband’s chest, “Hubby, you are cruel for forcing me to recall the past.”
“It’s my fault, but there are so many secrets you keep hiding.”
“Sometimes secrets are hidden only to protect others,”
“But most of the time it will hurt the others,” Li Ze signed again. “That’s why I’ve been hoping you could tell me the truth.”
“What do you want to know, hubby?”
“You know what I want already.”
“I…”
The door was knocked at the same time impatiently as if the person wanted to break the door open.
After pulling his wife up, Li Ze hurriedly looked out through the peephole.
There were his parents outside, Li Ze hurriedly opened the door, as soon as the door opened, his mother fell to her knees towards Ding Jie, her daughter-in-law.
