Ma Jianguo put down his chopsticks and shared his speculation.
“Back then, many people secretly gave away their daughters after giving birth, or handed them over to people waiting outside the hospital, who were the ones who claimed to be finding good homes for their children. They were traffickers.”
Lu Zhixia clenched her hands involuntarily, thinking that her daughter had been given away to human traffickers, which would make it even harder to find her.
"Could you try to recall what characteristics your child had? This will give me a direction when I search for my child in the future."
Ma Jianguo could see her urgency. "Let me think about it. After all, so much time has passed."
"Okay, thank you for your help. Let's eat first." Lu Zhixia wiped away her tears with a handkerchief, then picked up her chopsticks and ate.
Knowing that this will help the other person relax may be the key to finding important clues.
Seeing that they had returned to normal, Ma Jianguo also relaxed; delicious food can make people feel happy.
He ate a bowl of rice, and then couldn't resist asking for another bowl, eating twice as much as he usually does.
Gu Lingxiao had been paying attention to Lu Zhixia's emotions, and he was happy to see that she had pulled through.
The food on the table had been mostly eaten, leaving almost nothing.
Ma Jianguo let out a burp, then realized he had misbehaved and quickly covered his mouth with his hand. Luckily, there were no colleagues around.
Once the man had eaten his fill, his mind started working. After all, it was the second child he had delivered. After taking it out, he glanced at it twice.
“I remember that the child had a slight mole above her right eyebrow. In terms of facial features, her face shape is actually somewhat similar to yours.”
"Anything else about your body?" Lu Zhixia asked.
Ma Jianguo shook his head. "I can't think of anything right now."
Upon hearing this, Lu Zhixia quickly said, "Then can I stay here for two more days and then come back to ask you again?"
Ma Jianguo didn't want to disappoint her, or more accurately, he didn't want to disappoint a mother. This woman could go to such lengths; very few people could do that.
"Okay, let me think about it some more. Come see me again in a few days!"
Lu Zhixia said, "Thank you, Dr. Ma. I'm sorry to have taken up your time."
Ma Jianguo felt he should leave, so he stood up.
"Let's leave it at that for now. I'm worried that someone might contact me if the patient needs anything."
Lu Zhixia: "Okay, you can go ahead and get busy!"
Ma Jianguo picked up his lunchbox and left. There was only so much he could do; they would have to deal with what came next on their own.
The person quickly walked away.
Gu Lingxiao quickly comforted Lu Zhixia, saying, "You need to calm down. The best outcome is that we now know the truth and the other party is willing to testify in court. Let's find a place to stay and settle down first."
Lu Zhixia knew he was right, so she nodded in agreement.
So they left the hospital cafeteria and started looking for a place to stay nearby.
After looking at several small hotels, I finally chose one. It was a bit pricey, but the hygiene was pretty good, and I was willing to have the bedding changed.
So they booked two rooms that were right next to each other.
After the waiter finished changing the items, Gu Lingxiao finally spoke.
"If you're upset, just talk to me."
Lu Zhixia wanted to be alone for a while, so she told him, "No need, I just want to be alone now."
Gu Lingxiao turned and left, closing the door behind him. If this had happened to him, he probably would have made the same choice.
Lu Zhixia lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling, lost in thought.
Only Song Weidong knows the child's whereabouts, and it seems that getting him to reveal it will require more than just going through the courts.
She thought of Brother Biao; maybe she could try using him!
The soft fear the hard, and the reckless fear the fearless. She didn't believe Song Weidong would dare to risk his life.
——
Hospital ward.
Song Weidong sneezed twice. Thanks to the persona his son had created, he had been living quite comfortably these past few days, and everyone treated him as a man who had been abandoned by his wife.
The other patients in the ward shared a portion of the nutritious soup with him, which he drank without any hesitation.
"Xiao Song, what are you planning to do next?" someone asked.
Song Weidong immediately put on a sorrowful expression and said,
"What else can I do? I need to recover first. I've lost my job, my wife, and they've even squandered our house. But I have a son to raise, so I have to find a way out."
Lin Yueru overheard these words when she went to check on the patients. She felt even more sympathy for the man's plight, and thought about how her father's factory also needed people to work.
“I heard from your son that you used to be a director at a steel mill. Why don’t you try working at my dad’s factory?”
