It’s simple what he wanted to know: whether their son died after being born.
If the answer was yes, then it means his wife was not lying.
Sometimes Li Ze really felt ironic. He couldn’t completely believe his wife’s words. That was why he had decided to rush to the hospital on Sunday morning. Although today was the last day of the golden week, there was staff present at work. So if there was any doctor or nurse who knew the truth at the hospital, he would naturally be able to find out the truth.
When Li Ze rushed to the hospital, Li Jiaxue, who had just woken up, came into the bathroom with a disposable cup.
As for Shi Jiajie, she was still sleeping in bed.
Lifting her underwear to her knees, Li Jiaxue sat down.
Feeling the wet traces of urine, Li Jiaxue hurriedly put the paper cup below, and the urine dripped into the paper cup.
After gathering some, she continues peeing before taking away the cup.
After urinating and cleaning up, she took out the pregnancy test bar she bought yesterday from under the sink.
She put it into the cup, while she stared at the observation window.
When Li Jiaxue saw the two red lines appear and became extremely obvious, her expression was extremely unsightly.
She hadn’t thought that she would get pregnant!
If it hadn’t been for a week of delayed menstruation, she wouldn’t have bought the text bar.
She couldn’t accept the result.
Li Jiaxue’s hands were shaking while looking at the red lines.
Suddenly, she threw the pregnancy test stick into the wastebasket, covering it with plenty of toilet paper. What was she supposed to do since she was pregnant? She had to take an abortion. But Li Jiaxue was reluctant thinking that she would become a mom. But this child absolutely couldn’t stay, let alone be known to her husband.”
Li Jiaxue was uncomfortable when recalling the past.
After biting her lip, her vision blurred with tears.
While she was silently weeping, her daughter was still soundly asleep.
Meanwhile, Li Ze was already on the floor of the Gynaecology Department.
He looked carefully over whether he could identify the person he came to see from the array of doctors present.
Zhong Meifang was the person he was looking for.
He hurriedly walked toward the office of the doctor who was in charge of the operation.
There was director Xu in the office. With a bad taste of how things happened the other time, he decided not to come in because director Xu has a bad impression of Li Ze, so if he asked whether Dr. Zhong was at work, Director Xu would probably refuse to answer him, Li Ze would rather ask the nurse than the head in.
Li Ze found a nurse and asked with a smile, “Is Dr. Zhong at work?”
“Which Dr. Zhong? We have two doctors named Zhong”
“Zhong Meifang”
“She’s on a routine check,” the nurse said. “Wait here for a while or look for her at area B. She must be there.”
“Thank you,”
Li Ze then walked towards area B.
When he was close to the section, Li Ze saw Zhong Meifang.
At practically the same time, Zhong Meifang also saw him.
She had a bad expression on her instantly stiff face while she smiled at Li Ze. Noticing that he was staring at her while he walking over, she definitely knew Li Ze was looking for her. That’s also the reason her face seemed awkward.
“Dr. Zhong, hello.”
“What’s the matter?”
You remember me, don’t you?
“Sorry, who are you?”
“You must remember me,” said Li Ze. “Or you won’t look so stiff. I like to speculate on what a person is thinking from the change in their facial expression by virtue of me being an art teacher. I’m sure you remember me since my wife’s delivered a baby at this hospital four years ago. Doctor Zhong, am I wrong?”
“Wow,” Zhong Meifang pretended to have suddenly remembered, “It’s you!”
“Dr. Zhong, my wife had told me something that I want to check.”
“Yes?”
“Tell me what happened in the delivery room,”
“Come with me.”
After leading Li Ze to a room at the end of the corridor, Zhong Meifang also motioned him to close the door.
She looked on from the flower pot on the window to Li Ze. “What did your wife told you?”
“Just tell me what happened in the delivery room.”
“Alright,” Zhong Meifang continued after sighing, “Since you came to the hospital specifically, you must have already known what happened. It must be that you want a verification. After your wife gave birth to a baby boy, the best stage of salvage was delayed because there were no any relatives outside the room. Thus the baby died. Actually, we did check on the dead baby afterward. We discovered that even if there was a family signature, it would have been impossible to salvage him. We suggested your wife adopt a newly abandoned baby girl then. When your wife agreed with us finally, we registered the girl as your child.”
Li Ze realized that his wife was indeed not lying yesterday.
That meant that he had indeed had a son.
It was only because of his mother that his son, who had been in the world for less than fifteen minutes, was dead.
Li Ze’s heart ached greatly when he imagined such scenes.
Assuming the person who poisoned it was not his mother but another person, perhaps he would have already rushed to chop off that person with a kitchen knife. But since it was his mother, all he could do was to blame her in his mind. To be honest, he could never forgive his mother.
He really didn’t expect that the deep-rooted patriarchal thought of hers would actually kill his son!
Looking at the sad Li Ze, Zhong Meifang continued, “Sir, it wasn’t a medical accident. I hope you could understand it.”
“Are you afraid of family causing trouble that you did that?”
“More or less.”
“I want to know who abandoned my daughter,”
“You mean the baby girl?”
“Yes,” Li Ze added after a pause, “She’s my daughter now.”
“A college student,” Zhong Meifang said. “She came to the hospital right before she was parturient. There is a rule that if a woman is parturient, we must give priority to the delivery without payment or even formalities. But after the delivery, we will ask the mother to pay it. However, this girl was not worse in morality. She actually slipped away after giving birth to the girl.”
“Was she registered?”
