Yao Lili reacted first. She froze, exchanged a look with Mo Zhi and then sprang to her feet.
Madam. Outside the door.
She thought about the conversation she had just been having with Mo Zhi.
And that madam standing outside the door could very well be Lishu.
It was Lishu.
No! How could it be?
She quickly dashed over to the doorway.
When she turned around, she saw that Mo Zhi’s expression had changed, as though he had suddenly realized something. He got out of bed and walked over to her.
Yao Lili had a terrified expression on her face. “What do we do?”
Mo Zhi was bristling with nasty intentions.
Upon hearing this, a look of determination flashed past her eyes.
It had been more than twenty years since she had switched the babies. Seeing how things had moved along right up till now, they must not allow things to go awry.
Hence, Yao Lili nodded.
The next moment, she threw open the door.
She dashed out of the ward, fully prepared to drag the woman into the room.
But…
All she saw was the back of a junior nurse, who was just walking away. There was no one else around.
Yao Lili was stunned and called out at once, “Nurse! Hang on.”
The junior nurse turned around, looking surprised. She walked back slowly and asked, “What’s the matter?”
Yao Lili looked at her and asked, “Was there someone outside the door just now?”
The junior nurse nodded and answered, “Yes, it was a lady. But she came the wrong way and I asked her to leave. Don’t worry.”
This was a premium VIP ward and by right, there shouldn’t be any unwarranted people around.
Hence when the nurse said this, Yao Lili frowned and asked further, “What did that lady look like?”
The junior nurse paused, tried to recall and then said, “She didn’t look that good.”
Always cultured and refined, Li Shu had indeed looked malevolent in that instant, it was quite scary.
But Yao Lili heaved a sigh of relief at that description.
It wasn’t Li Shu.
Li Shu was a beautiful lady, and that was the general consensus.
So if it wasn’t Li Shu, it was really someone else?
At this thought, Yao Lili looked straight ahead and turned around to glance at Mo Zhi. She said, “I’ll go over and take a look.”
Mo Zhi nodded.
Yao Lili walked in that direction to investigate.
–
In the meantime, Li Shu had hurriedly left the ward and, once she was downstairs, she hurriedly walked to the garden.
She looked nervous and stumbled along unsteadily as she walked ahead.
Mo Zhi wasn’t her son, Mo Xicheng was her real son.
These words echoed in her ears, as though an invisible person was nagging at her. She did not know how she should react to this.
Her own son wasn’t a vile and nasty person. Her son was Mo Xicheng, he was the fine and excellent Mo Xicheng.
She recalled a time when she had caught Mo Xicheng reading in her study.
He had panicked, but she had acted as though she hadn’t seen him and had walked out of the room again.
Later on, when the boy saw that she wouldn’t reprimand him, he became bolder. When she went into the room to read, he would also hide quietly in a spot behind the bookshelf to read.
It was in these moments that they got along harmoniously.
Now tears were flowing freely down her cheeks, like the waters of an unleashed dam.
She couldn’t see where she was going, tripped over a rock and fell forward.
“Watch out.” A familiar voice suddenly spoke.
