Chapter 390: Claiming the Body
Zhong Ting grasped my hand tightly in pain, “Help me keep Ben’s urn, thank you.”
These were the words Zhong Ting said to me as she was pushed into the operating room again.
She was still hung up on Qi Ben’s urn even at this point.
Zhong Ting’s water broke prematurely and the baby had to be born. Joyce Parvis finally signed off on the C-section option to remove the baby.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
Joyce Parvis has been holding Qi Ben’s urn outside the labor and delivery room, because Zhong Ting’s last words of explanation, I did not leave the hospital.
I sat across from Joyce Parvis without saying a word, just waiting for Zhong Ting to come out.
Joyce Parvis had tears in her eyes and her hands were trembling as she stroked the urn. When I looked up at her, she was so sad that her shoulders were shaking, but she kept suppressing it to prevent herself from crying out.
After about an hour, the doctor held the child out, is a boy, Joyce Parvis excitedly went forward, the child is like Qi Ben, looking at the child’s appearance, she should be thinking of the year she gave birth to Qi Ben’s scenario, the newborn child, a small, full of red face, fragile little life can touch the heart of the softest piece.
Joyce Parvis has been holding back tears when she saw the child fell.
The baby was born prematurely and had to be sent to the neonatal unit.
Zhong Ting was still in the delivery room, Joyce Parvis held the urn and watched as the baby was taken to the NICU, her shoulders slumped, within a few days, she had lost her son and added a grandson to her life, a mixture of sadness and joy, mixed feelings.
Joyce Parvis gave me a complicated look and returned to her seat to wait for Zhong Ting to come out.
It was nighttime when Zhong Ting came out of the labor and delivery room and regained consciousness. I waited for Zhong Ting to wake up, and the first thing she said when she woke up and saw me was, “Where’s the baby? Where’s my baby.”
“The baby is fine, sent to the NICU.”
“Where are Ben’s ashes?”
“Joyce Parvis took them.”
Joyce Parvis was taken out of the labor and delivery room after Jong Ting was told by the doctor that it was okay, Joyce Parvis left a card and left.
I gave the bank card to Jong Ting and she was slow to take the money from Joyce Parvis.
I said, “Think about you and your child, you will have to live in the future, don’t mess with money.”
When see more, experience more, I also become realistic.
Zhong Ting hesitantly took the bank card, after all, later life, everywhere you need money, there are children, the need for money is even more, the child sent to the neonatal unit, every day is a few thousand dollars, no Qiben, she has no source of livelihood, do not take the money, the suffering is the child.
When I left the hospital, I said to Zhong Ting, “May all be well with you and the child, this should be Qi Ben’s last wish, he kidnapped me in fact just to get a sum of money, and then take you to emigrate to live abroad.”
My words made Zhong Ting’s face full of tears, unable to contain her grief.
At least in the end, Qi Ben had plans for their mother and son, and she had taken her place by Qi Ben’s side for so long, even if she was a stand-in.
And that, for Zhong Ting, was enough.
I walked out of the hospital and looked out into the endless blackness of the night, I didn’t know where to go or where I wanted to go, I didn’t dare to think about Ulysses Will’s death or the fact that I had injured Walker Richter with a knife.
I wandered the streets, looking at the road that stretched infinitely beneath my feet, and at that moment, I didn’t know what I was doing alive, foolish and stupid.
Lost in thought, I didn’t even see the red light and numbly kept walking.
“Watch out.”
A car drove past me and someone pulled from behind me, saving my life in a flash of lightning.
This time I was so close to death, but I wasn’t half afraid, and even a little regretful why the car didn’t run me over, why it saved me.
I looked at Yao Mubai who pulled me just now, “Why did you save me, you should have let the car run me over.”
“Alva Hill, you’re dead and relieved, what about me?” Yao Mubai stared at me with a deep gaze, his cheeks tightened, “You can’t be too selfish.”
Yao Mubai’s words were like a sharp arrow, steadily piercing my heart.
Selfish.
These two words described it simply too well.
I grabbed Yao Mubai’s hand and said miserably, “Yao Mubai, I’m having a hard time here.”
I covered my chest, it really hurt so much there.
Yao Mubai cupped my face, his voice was deep, “Alva Hill, look at me, Ulysses Will is dead, this is a fact that can’t be changed anymore, what you can do now is to catch the murderer of Ulysses Will.”
“Murderer.” I fixed my mind, “Yes, the murderer, Yao Mubai, the one who killed Ulysses Will is not Walker Richter, it is Yao Murong, Yao Murong is the culprit of everything, he impersonated Walker Richter.”
Hearing Yao Murong’s name, Yao Mubai didn’t have much of a reaction, it was as if he knew it already.
He held my hand tightly, “I’ll send you back first.”
I pulled my hand back and looked at him, “You knew this already right?”
Yao Mubai was also honest and didn’t lie to me, saying, “I know.”
“When? When did you know?”
“Just now.” Yao Mubai said, “I had my suspicions before, I just haven’t been sure.”
Later, Yao Mubai told me that he started suspecting Yao Murong a long time ago.
Moreover, when he went to G City, Yao Murong was not in North City.
In other words, Yao Murong had time to go to G City.
Yao Murong and Walker Richter were blood brothers, and in terms of appearance and looks, there were a few similarities.
When Walker Richter had his accident, didn’t I mistake Yao Murong for Walker Richter?
I thought of Kelly Zex again.
Walker Richter’s jade trigger finger came into Yao Murong’s hands, and when Yao Murong took me to the antique market, the owner of the antique store said that the one who sold him the jade trigger finger was Kelly Zex.
That was when Kelly Zex became Yao Murong’s person.
No, maybe even earlier.
Once I thought of Yao Murong operating so many things behind the scenes, I asked Yao Mubai, “Then it’s also possible that the one who bullied Chu Xian’er back then wasn’t Walker Richter, but Yao Murong, I can recognize the wrong person, Chu Xian’er might have recognized the wrong person as well.”
Chu Xian’er was a piece of wound that Yao Mubai couldn’t touch.
My words caused his face to instantly go cold.
“Alva Hill, it’s true that Walker Richter didn’t kill Ulysses Will, it doesn’t mean that just because this matter wasn’t done by him, it clears him of the sins he committed before.” Yao Mubai said in a cold voice, “I won’t wrongly accuse him, and I won’t let him off the hook.”
One size does not fit all.
Ulysses Will’s body was parked at the police station for a week, and when Yao Mubai notified me to collect it, he bumped into Ke Zhen.
