Chapter 959 The person he offended the most was me
Xiao Shiqiu came faster than I thought. He almost rushed to me and hugged me tightly in his arms.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here." His deep voice sounded above my head, with a reassuring calmness, "We'll go to T City right away."
The helicopter had already landed on the roof of a nearby office building. After Xiao Yang parked the car, he got on the helicopter with us.
"Ma'am, please don't worry. I've already asked someone. Your father is still in surgery, and the driver has been taken to the traffic police station and is giving a statement."
I nodded to him gratefully. Xiao Yang is always thoughtful and arranges things very considerately.
The scenery outside the window remains the same, but I have no intention of appreciating it.
My heart was hanging in the air, making me feel uneasy. Xiao Shiqiu held my hand tightly all the time, and the warmth of his palm made me feel at ease.
"Shiqiu, that child is clearly still in danger and his kidneys are almost gone... Why did my dad suddenly return to T City?"
In my confused thoughts, this question popped up at an inappropriate time. This is so abnormal!
Considering how much my father values that illegitimate child, what important matter does he have that requires him to return to T City in person?
Xiao Shiqiu frowned slightly, obviously thinking of this as well: "It's indeed abnormal. Once he's out of danger, perhaps we can find out the reason."
After arriving in City T, we went straight to the hospital where my mother worked.
Outside the operating room, I saw my mother, looking haggard and tired, with bloodshot eyes.
I tried to calm myself down, but when I opened my mouth, my voice was still trembling, "Mom!"
"Mengmeng..." Mom's voice was very hoarse, "Your dad is still in surgery... He's seriously injured."
For some reason, I felt that there seemed to be a hint of self-blame in her tone.
I asked the question in my heart, "Mom, why did my dad come back suddenly?"
My mother's expression became very complicated. After hesitating for a long time, she took a deep breath and slowly said, "This is actually my fault..."
It turned out that after my mother left the medical team and returned to City T, the news that my father had an illegitimate child spread throughout the hospital.
Although no one said anything in front of her, the gossip behind her back still reached my mother's ears.
You know, my mother is good-looking, has a good job, married well, and her daughter was admitted to University A. She has always been the envy of her colleagues.
But before, her beloved niece repaid her with hatred for her kindness, and now there are rumors that her husband already has an illegitimate child. Her colleagues are hesitant to speak when they see her, making her, who has always been proud, feel very uneasy.
Some people who were jealous of her began to mock her sarcastically, saying that they had thought her husband was in true love and could accept that they only had one daughter. It turned out that he already had a son outside, so it was no wonder he didn't urge her to have a second child.
These words made my mother more and more angry. She felt that what my father did made her lose face. Finally, in a fit of rage, she hired a lawyer to divorce my father.
Unlike the last divorce, this time my mother was really determined to get a divorce.
She told my dad on the phone that she wanted a divorce, but my dad thought she was just angry because he didn't speak up for her.
After all, my mother has known about his illegitimate child for so long and should have accepted it, and the child is now in such a critical stage of treatment, so my father didn't take it seriously.
But my mother was serious, “I really want a divorce this time, and I’ve given full authority to my lawyer.
The lawyer was very efficient and took the case directly to court. Your father got furious when he received the court summons this time."
She pursed her lips and said with some regret: "He called me and I didn't answer, then he sent me a message saying he would be back soon, but I didn't reply either.
Who would have thought that when we were almost in T City, something like this would happen..."
My mother couldn't say any more and covered her face. Although she didn't make any sound, the trembling of her shoulders betrayed her emotions.
I was stunned.
Divorce? Court summons?
I see!
A feeling of powerlessness welled up in my heart. Looking at my mother blaming herself, I couldn't blame her.
If it were any other woman, and her husband not only cheated on her but also gave birth to a seriously ill illegitimate child, and even questioned her professional ethics because of the mistress, who could tolerate this?
It’s only natural that she chooses to divorce!
But who could have thought that this would be the last straw that broke the camel's back, causing the distraught father to get into trouble on his way back?
What is this? Karma and reincarnation?
"Mom, this is not your fault..." I comforted her softly.
But my mother still blamed herself, "I shouldn't have mentioned this now. I should have waited until the child's condition stabilized."
Seeing my mother's guilty and helpless look, I wanted to go up and hug her, but I couldn't remember how long it had been since I had such an intimate gesture with my mother. After hesitating for a while, I gave up.
The intimate behavior between other mothers and daughters is very normal, but to me it feels awkward, like hugging a stranger.
No, hugging Huang Tianyi, Su Rina and others would be more natural than hugging my mother.
Xiao Shiqiu stood quietly beside us the whole time. He answered a few calls and handled company affairs, but he stayed here most of the time.
After a while, he walked to the window and made another call.
I vaguely heard him whispering words like "traffic police brigade", "transcript", and "suspicious points".
A few minutes later, he hung up the phone, his face somewhat serious. He waved me aside and whispered to me, "Mengmeng, the traffic police have taken a preliminary statement, but there's something wrong with the driver who caused the accident.
The traffic police feel there are doubts and it may not be a simple traffic accident. The traffic police team is ready to transfer the case to the criminal police team for further investigation."
"Suspicious points?" My heart skipped a beat. "They suspect it wasn't a traffic accident?"
"The specific details are still unclear, but the traffic police feel that some of the driver's statements are inconsistent, and the traces at the scene are a bit... unreasonable. It may not be a simple accident." Xiao Shiqiu's voice was low and his eyes were sharp.
Not just a simple accident?
Did someone deliberately want to cause trouble for my dad? I feel a little confused. My dad is just a small business owner with no background. Although he made some money, it was only slightly better than the average middle class.
Whether in City T or City A, they are just ordinary little characters, not as eye-catching as families like Xiao Shiqiu and his.
Did my dad offend someone?
I couldn't help but look at my mother, "Mom, has my dad offended anyone recently?"
My mother gritted her teeth in frustration, "Who else could it be? The person he offended the most was me!"
I:"……"
