Chapter 713: A Sad Story
My mother's voice made my father and I change our expressions. My father wanted to ask what happened, but I took out my cell phone and dialed 120 in T City without hesitation. After telling him the location of my home, I emphasized that my mother was pregnant.
My residential complex is quite close to the hospital where my mother works, so the ambulance will most likely be sent to the First Hospital. However, to ensure this, I specifically mentioned to the operator that my mother is the chief physician of the city's First Hospital.
After hanging up, I immediately called 110 to call the police. They only said that they received a call for help from my mother, but the specific situation was unknown.
My mother had already hung up the phone, and my father looked panicked and pulled me to drive.
"Dad, don't worry. I've already called 110 and 120. Please settle the bill first. I'll contact someone to see if we can take a helicopter back. Driving back is too slow."
"Okay, I'll go pay the bill right away." My dad seemed to have found his backbone and hurried to pay the bill.
I immediately started to contact Xiaoyan, "Sister Xiaoyan, my mother is in trouble, I need to go home as soon as possible, can you help me contact Lao Xiao's helicopter?"
Xiao Yan's calm voice came from the other side, "Okay, I'll help you contact the driver, you come to the company immediately."
My dad came back after paying the bill and I asked him to drive to the STG building.
The restaurant is near the school, so it's not far from the STG building.
Ten minutes later, when we reached the top floor, Xiaoyan and Azhi were already waiting by the helicopter.
My father got on the helicopter, looking very anxious. After knowing that my mother was pregnant, Comrade Lao Xia's concern for his wife increased sharply, and he was a little restless in the helicopter at this moment.
Although my relationship with my mother is not very good, I am still worried.
"I don't know how your mother is doing." My father rubbed his hands and muttered unconsciously.
I checked the time. Twenty minutes had passed since I called 120. "Dad, don't worry. My mom should have arrived at the First Hospital by now. There's a helipad on the roof of the hospital's administrative building. We'll be there in ten minutes."
When we arrived at the hospital, Dr. Zhang from the emergency department recognized me and, upon seeing me rushing over, he quickly stopped me and said, "Mengmeng, don't worry. Your mother just entered the operating room. Please wait in her office for a while."
"Uncle Zhang, how is my mother? Is she in danger?"
Doctor Zhang adjusted his glasses. "Your mother was stabbed in the abdomen with a sharp object. She was brought in fairly promptly, so she's probably not in danger of death."
My dad and I asked in unison, "Who did this?"
Dr. Zhang shook his head. "I don't know about that, but the emergency doctor in the ambulance said that when they arrived, the police had just arrived. There was no one else in the house, and your mother was lying alone in the utility room."
At this moment, I suddenly remembered that the surveillance camera in the living room should be on, so I hurriedly turned it on and turned the time to a few minutes before my mother called.
In the video, my mother walked from upstairs to the living room, opened the door and went out. I quickly switched to the surveillance camera in the front yard, and it was Deng Xinrong and Deng Sisi ringing the doorbell outside the yard gate.
"What are you doing here?" my mother asked coldly.
Deng Xinrong looked at my mother eagerly, while Deng Sisi lowered her head and her expression could not be seen clearly.
"Shuyao, I brought Sisi here to apologize to you. Please open the door." Deng Xinrong's voice was a little far away, but he could still hear it clearly.
My mother had her back to the camera, so I couldn't see her expression, but her tone was still very cold. "No need. You forced her to come here. Looking at her like this, you can tell she doesn't think she did anything wrong. You can go now. Don't come back in the future. Just consider it as me raising her for Shuxin all these years for nothing."
My mother turned around and was about to go in when Deng Xinrong's voice suddenly rose, revealing some sadness. "Shuyao, Sisi is still a child. It's inevitable that she will be instigated to do wrong things. You can be considered to have raised her by yourself, and your blood flows in her body. Are you so cruel to give up on her? She is our..."
"That's enough," my mother yelled, "What I regret most now is what I did for Shuxin back then, and how I took care of her poor health and raised her for you all these years.
This is how you repay me. You raised her and now you want my property. Now you have the nerve to ask me to forgive her?
Deng Xinrong, this is your daughter. Please take care of her and raise her yourself. As her aunt, I have no obligation to do so."
Deng Xinrong suddenly shouted, "Deng Sisi, kneel down! Kowtow to your aunt and admit your mistake!"
I was stunned. My dad leaned over and saw this part, and he said, "Fuck! The Qing Dynasty has been gone for so many years, and this Deng guy is still using this trick."
"Don't talk, just keep watching." Is the point about kneeling? I interrupted my unreliable dad.
Deng Sisi was obviously unwilling and twisted her body without moving. Deng Xinrong saw that my mother was about to enter the house. He was anxious and pressed Deng Sisi's shoulder with one hand while kicking her knees. Deng Sisi's knees suddenly softened and hit the steps hard with a muffled sound. She screamed in pain, "Dad, what are you doing!"
She tried to break free from Deng Xinrong's big hands, but it was obviously futile, as she was pinned down.
"You are not allowed to get up. You can only get up when your aunt forgives you!" Deng Xinrong said this very loudly, attracting the attention of the neighbors who were taking their children out for a walk.
My mother paused as she was about to open the door. When she heard Deng Xinrong's shout, her hands began to tremble with anger.
"Deng Xinrong, is this how you teach your daughter? Teach her to kneel down and act out a heartbreaking scene?"
Deng Sisi has been living in my house, and many of the neighbors know her. Some of the middle-aged ladies even started to persuade her without any reason.
"Mengmeng's mom, if the child makes a mistake, just give him a few words of scolding. Look, the child has knelt down in front of you, so just calm down."
"Yeah, this kid usually looks pretty well-behaved. How could she have made such a big mistake that it pissed you off so much that you wouldn't even let her in the door?"
"Is your niece having a fight with Mengmeng again? A quarrel between children is not a big deal. As an elder, you don't need to take it too seriously."
My mother has always been very concerned about her reputation, and her face became increasingly unsightly as the onlookers talked about her. But she had no way to explain anything, so she had to bite the bullet and open the door to let Deng Xinrong and his daughter in.
I quickly switched back to the surveillance camera in the living room.
As soon as they entered the house, Deng Xinrong closed the door. Deng Sisi raised her head slightly, and I saw the resentment in her eyes. "Aunt, I know I was wrong. Please forgive me."
Although it sounded like an apology, the sound seemed to be squeezed out from between teeth.
Deng Xinrong also took a step forward, "Shuyao, Sisi is pregnant. How can you bear to leave her alone? What do you want her to do?"
