Gu Yibo looked at his daughter with surprise, "It's about your mother?"
"Yes!" Gu Xinzhou turned to Song Zhen, her eyes filled with evident trust, "Song Zhen said that mom is actually still alive."
Gu Yibo: "..."
Lan Baozhen: "..."
McDull, when faced with questions he doesn't understand, would automatically ignore them.
So he just needed to temporarily become daddy's guardian, without concerning himself with adult matters.
Lan Baozhen pressed her lips tightly together, sighed, and eventually lowered her head.
Gu Yibo stood up, looking at Song Zhen, "What do you mean? Is what Zhouzhou said true? Weiwei is still alive?"
Song Zhen had discussed this matter with him before.
But it was just a simple guess with no further development.
Who would have thought that today, there would be a definitive answer?
Song Zhen had a clear, handsome face and a demeanor that was always unaffected by honor or disgrace. Even while holding a child and sitting, his tone and gaze still carried a convincing authority, "Ever since I found out that my mother-in-law hadn't canceled her hukou,
I've been investigating step by step.
I found the nursing home where my grandmother went today, and discovered that my mother-in-law has been in a high care ward for a full twenty-three years.
I've already had someone handle my mother-in-law's records.
They will all be transferred to me.
I will find a way to contact the best doctors in the world, or perhaps directly get in touch with the best hospitals.
Even if the chance of recovery is slim, we must give it a try.
As the saying goes, man proposes, God disposes, and this is the little filial piety that Xinzhou and I can offer her."
Gu Xinzhou looked at him, moved.
Gu Yibo looked at Lan Baozhen, "Mom, what's going on?"
Lan Baozhen wiped away her tears, speaking sorrowfully, "Back then, Zhuang Xiuya found Xiaowei, telling her she was pregnant with your child, and pleaded with Xiaowei not to destroy her family.
Xiaowei was devastated and broke up with you.
After the breakup, she found out she was pregnant.
She kept it a secret from us. With it being autumn and winter, the thick clothes and cotton-padded jackets concealed her condition.
It wasn't until nearly five months in that she couldn't hide it anymore.
Because she began to have severe morning sickness.
Her father and I thought she had just gained weight recently, losing her waist in the process.
But then it struck us, could it be possible that she was pregnant?
So that's what we discovered.
Back then, your father grabbed her, intending to take her to the hospital for an abortion, but she knelt down and begged your father.
She said that it was a life after all, and she couldn't deprive this little life of the right to be born.
And so, Zhouzhou was born.
But when Zhouzhou was four months old, Weiwei was pushing the stroller and taking Zhouzhou out shopping on the street.
A car came crashing.
Seeing no escape, Weiwei used all her might to push the stroller away, and cried out to the pedestrians across the road, 'Save my child!'
Weiwei fell into a pool of blood.
Zhouzhou was caught by a kind-hearted passerby and handed over to the police.
When we, the old couple, arrived, Zhouzhou was crying nonstop, and while we were taking care of Zhouzhou, we waited outside the operating room.
In the end, the outcome was that Weiwei became a vegetative state."
Gu Xinzhou covered her face, tears streaming down, "I was four months old? So you're saying I have seen my mother, and my mother has seen me?"
Lan Baozhen nodded with tears, "You were the apple of Weiwei's eye!
Her health was poor at the time, but she insisted on breastfeeding.
From your birth to the accident, she never had a good night's sleep.
After the accident, when you switched from breast milk to formula, you refused the bottle and cried for many days.
Your grandfather would hold you every day, singing your mother's favorite songs to you."
The tears of Gu Xinzhou flooded like a bursting river, simply unstoppable.
