Chapter 104 The Secret: We Have the Same Mommy

Xia Xingxing showed Huo Yuan all sorts of toys, making him laugh. But as Xia Ningxi was leaving, Xia Xingxing said something mysteriously.

"Huo Yuan, I have a secret. Do you want to know?"

Huo Yuan struggled, his eyes wide: "What secret?"

"You have to promise me you won't tell anyone. Can you do that?" Xia Xingxing asked.

Huo Yuan nodded repeatedly.

Xia Xingxing leaned closer to Huo Yuan: "Actually, my mommy is your mommy."

"Huh?" Huo Yuan was stunned, completely dumbfounded.

Xia Xingxing said, "You don't believe me?"

Huo Yuan shook his head: "I have a mother, her name is Xia Wanwan, I've met her."

"Your mommy isn't Xia Wanwan at all. That woman is a liar," Xia Xingxing scoffed.

He had been thinking about this for a long time, and recently he finally found out about Xia Wanwan. It turned out that Xia Wanwan was incapable of having children because she had become a vegetable due to an accident many years ago and had not woken up since.

As for Huo Yuan...

He looks exactly like Xia Xingxing, so they must be brothers.

Xia Xingxing had been thinking about this for a long time these past few days, but she still couldn't understand why Huo Yuan had an extra mother, and why that woman was her father's wife, who was in a vegetative state.

The only possibility is that Daddy doesn't like Mommy at all, and likes that woman named Xia Wanwan.

Xia Wanwan is in a vegetative state and cannot have children, so the bad father thought of taking Huo Yuan away and giving him to Xia Wanwan.

Seeing that Huo Yuan seemed to know nothing, Xia Xingxing was certain that Huo Nanxiao wouldn't dare tell him about this.

snort.

Xia Xingxing was determined to expose Huo Nanxiao's secrets!

He looked at Huo Yuan's blank face and asked him, "Didn't you ever go to school?"

Huo Yuan shook his head.

"You little idiot," Xia Xingxing said through gritted teeth.

It's not surprising that Huo Yuan is slow-witted. Ever since he was born, people have been instilling in him the idea that Xia Wanwan is his mother.

It hasn't changed over the years.

Huo Yuan was deeply shocked when Xia Xingxing said those words.

He appeared calm on the surface, but in reality, a huge turmoil was brewing inside him.

He also liked Xia Ningxi very much, and even envied Xia Xingxing for having such a good mother.

However, when Xia Xingxing told him that Xia Ningxi was his mother, he was more shocked than surprised.

"But why did Daddy lie to me?" Huo Yuan asked.

Xia Xingxing said, "Because your daddy doesn't love you at all."

"Daddy loves me." Huo Yuan's eyes reddened, and tears were about to fall.

Xia Xingxing was a little annoyed by this crybaby, so she reached out and wiped away his tears: "Don't cry. Your daddy doesn't love you, but Mommy does. My mommy is your mommy, and she's the best person in the world."

"Is she really my mommy?" Huo Yuan asked cautiously.

Xia Xingxing said, "Of course! Look at us, we look exactly alike. We must be born of the same person. You must be my brother whom I've never met! I think that now that I know the truth, I shouldn't keep it from you!"

Xia Xingxing was righteous and awe-inspiring, with an air of saving all living beings and rescuing thousands of people.

Huo Yuan actually believed it.

But Huo Yuan couldn't understand why Huo Nanxiao would do this.

"Why did you do this, Daddy?" Huo Yuan asked.

Xia Xingxing said, "Of course she doesn't like our mommy. Let me tell you, that Xia Wanwan is a mistress. As for you, you were snatched away from mommy by your bad daddy and given to that mistress's son, so no one has cared for you all these years."

"I—" Huo Yuan was momentarily at a loss for words.

Because Xia Xingxing was right, all these years, Huo Nanxiao had been leaving him with the Xia family to be raised by them.

From the time Huo Yuan could remember, he felt that everyone in the world disliked him. He even had nightmares every night, dreaming that he was thrown into a trash can and chased and bitten by wild dogs.

He never felt a warm embrace in the Xia family.

No one was willing to hug him, and no one was as gentle to him as Xia Ningxi.

“If that’s really the case, then I won’t like Daddy anymore,” Huo Yuan said very seriously.

Xia Xingxing: "He's a big bad guy. Don't like him. You should like my mommy instead. She's your mommy too, and she'll definitely treat you very, very well."

"Will Dr. Xia like me?" Huo Yuan asked cautiously.

Xia Xingxing said, "Of course! Mommy is willing to personally get you food. Only her own son gets this kind of treatment."

"Dr. Xia is so kind!" Huo Yuan said.

Xia Xingxing added, "But you can't let your daddy know about this, okay?"

"Why?" Huo Yuan asked.

Xia Xingxing said, "You were taken from my mother and given to that mistress. If he finds out you know who my mother is, he'll definitely be angry. He might arrest you and lock you in a dark room forever. Aren't you scared?"

Huo Yuan nodded: "I'm afraid."

"So the best person in the world is our mommy." Xia Xingxing held Huo Yuan's small hand.

Huo Yuan murmured to himself, "Mommy..."

A big smile spread across his face.

This was the first time he had ever laughed so happily.

When Xia Ningxi returned with lunch, she saw Huo Yuan grinning foolishly, while Xia Xingxing looked smug and pleased with herself. She was very puzzled, feeling that something was amiss...

"What are you two little ones laughing about?"

Xia Xingxing's eyes crinkled into a smile: "I just made a bet with Huo Yuan. If he loses, he has to call you Mommy."

The little guy winked at Huo Yuan.

Huo Yuan's heart raced with nervousness, and his little face flushed red as he called out, "Mommy."

This was the first time he had ever spoken those two words to a living, breathing person.

It was a very simple sentence, yet it took all of Huo Yuan's courage!

Over the years, he had always been a vegetable lying in a hospital bed with no response when people called him "Mommy." He wasn't nervous at all when he called Xia Wanwan "Mommy," but when facing Xia Ningxi, Huo Yuan was so nervous that he could hardly breathe.

And what about Xia Ningxi?

She stared blankly at Huo Yuan.

The next second, her eyes turned red.

She cried as she hugged Huo Yuan tightly.

This is her son! The son who has been calling other people "Mommy" for years.

Now, those two precious words have been given to myself.

Xia Ningxi couldn't stop her tears; she was deeply moved.

"Ah Yuan is so great. Mommy will protect you and love you for the rest of my life. Mommy will never let anyone bully you again." Xia Ningxi's voice was hoarse.

Huo Yuan's anxious heart relaxed.

"Will Mommy really protect me like she protects a star? Will you love me like you love him?" Huo Yuan asked cautiously.

Xia Ningxi nodded: "Yes, I will do everything in my power to protect you for the rest of my life."

Huo Yuan smiled happily, revealing a row of white teeth; his smile was very cute.
