Salty tears mixed with the taste of blood filled Joey's mouth.
She will never forget the grief she felt when she lost her child two years ago, and she will never forget the despair she felt when she saw her child's body.
For two years, she had the same dream almost every night.
Dream about a child calling her mother.
Every morning when she wakes up, her pillow is wet.
Day after day of longing and growing pain caused her depression to relapse.
It turns out that all of this is fake.
Her baby was always with her.
Not only did she fail to breastfeed him, she also failed to fulfill her responsibilities as a mother.
She foolishly thought that Xiao Youyou's preference for her was just because of affinity.
It turns out that it was a heart-to-heart connection between mother and son.
She didn't even notice such an obvious phenomenon.
Recalling every bit of the past, Joey was heartbroken.
She slowly let go of her teeth and looked at Lu Wenzhou with tears streaming down her face.
His voice was so choked that he couldn't speak for a long time.
After a long time, she said intermittently: "Lu Wenzhou, you are so cruel."
Lu Wenzhou's eyes turned red when he saw her in so much pain.
He gently stroked the tears on her face and said in a hoarse voice: "I'm sorry, Yiyi, I had no choice at the time."
"So you chose to hurt me?"
"If the baby is still alive, you will not divorce me. If you stay with me for one day, you and the child will be in danger for one more day. I would rather make you hate me than put you in danger again."
Lu Wenzhou's voice was shaking when he spoke.
How could he not be heartbroken after hiding it for two years?
Seeing Joy alone in pain, he wanted to tell her the truth many times.
But if you really do that, the consequences may be disastrous.
Joey forced himself to hold back the pain in his heart, and his eyes gradually turned cold.
She wiped away her tears and said, "Since this is your choice, since you know I will hate you, then don't blame me."
After saying that, she turned around and sat on the edge of the bed, holding Xiao Youyou's little hand in her palm.
Hot tears fell on those tender white hands.
She said in a hoarse voice: "Baby, I'm sorry, it's all my mother's fault."
She lowered her head and kissed the back of Xiao Youyou's hand.
Just when she was grieving, a childish voice suddenly came to her ears.
"Mother."
Hearing this voice, Joey looked up suddenly.
Just in time to meet Xiao Youyou's bright black eyes.
A cry of 'Mom' broke her heart.
She used to think that Youyou called her that on purpose because he felt sorry for her.
But now in front of Sang Yu, he also calls her mother. It is conceivable that he may already know the truth.
This speculation made Joey's heart hurt even more.
The tears were much more intense than before.
She quickly came to Youyou's side and looked at him with concern: "Baby, does it hurt?"
Hearing her calling her baby and seeing her crying like this, Xiao Youyou had already guessed what was going on.
He immediately looked at Lu Wenzhou.
Ruan Nuo Nuo shouted: "Dad."
Lu Wenzhou only felt a sting in his throat.
The voice was much lower and hoarse than usual.
"Mom already knows."
With one sentence, Joey instantly understood that Xiao Youyou had long known that she was his mother.
She stared blankly into his bright black eyes and asked in disbelief: "You knew this a long time ago, right?"
Xiao Youyou nodded slightly.
He stretched out his little hand to help Joey wipe his tears, and said in a soft voice: "Mom, I'm sorry, I was afraid that the big monster would hurt you, so I didn't recognize you."
Joey understood everything instantly.
So Manman said that Youyou did not admit that he was in the four-dimensional photo.
So he was very nervous when he saw her taking Dr. Zhang to check Xiaoye's body.
It turned out that he had known the truth for a long time.
But I kept it in my heart and didn't say it out loud.
He is only a two-year-old child.
Let him bear so much.
Thinking of this, Joey's heart ached even more.
She held little Youyou's head in her arms and kept kissing his face.
Her voice choked with sobs: "Baby, mom is sorry for you. It's mom who was too negligent and didn't discover the truth. She let your dad lie to me for two years. In these two years, mom failed to fulfill her duties as a mother. Mom is really sad."
When little Youyou saw his mother crying so sadly, he also cried.
He kept patting Joey's head with his little hands and said, "Mom, don't cry. Seeing your mother cry, Youyou also wants to cry."
Seeing the scene of two people hugging each other in pain, Sang Yu finally couldn't stand it anymore.
She walked up to Joey, patted her back and said, "Yiyi, the child is injured. The pain will subside after the anesthesia wears off. Please stop crying. Let's see how he is doing first."
Only then did Joey remember that Youyou had just completed surgery.
She immediately raised her head, looked at Xiao Youyou's wound and asked, "Does it hurt a lot?"
Xiao Youyou shook his head: "It doesn't hurt at all. The doctor's aunt said that it won't hurt after taking anesthesia."
Seeing that he was so sensible, Joey gently stroked his face and said softly: "If it hurts, tell mom. Don't hold it back, okay?"
"Yeah, I know, then mom, don't cry anymore, okay? Youyou will listen to mom from now on."
In order to liven up the atmosphere, Sang Yu smiled and rubbed Youyou's head: "You brat, you know how to bully me. Why are you so obedient to your mother?"
Xiao Youyou smiled and looked at her with narrowed eyes: "I also listen to Sang Yu's mother. I have never shown the photo of you and Xing Cheng's father kissing to anyone."
"Otherwise, you still want to spread the word to me all over the street."
"No, you are my favorite parents, and I will protect your privacy."
Upon hearing this, Sang Yu's eyes instantly turned red.
She smiled and rubbed little Youyou's head: "You are the only one who can make mom happy. You don't know who to follow with your little mouth. You are so good at talking."
Little Youyou tilted his head and said, "My mother is a barrister, so of course I follow her. Dad said that my brain will follow his, and my mouth will follow my mother's. When I grow up, I will be invincible in the world."
Sang Yu smiled and kissed him: "Okay, we'll wait to see if you are invincible in the world."
Little Youyou hugged a mother with one arm, looked around, and then said with a smile: "When I grow up and make money, I can buy beautiful little skirts for the two mothers."
Seeing how sensible he was and how he had both sides, everyone burst into tears and laughed.
After Joey calmed down, he looked at Sang Yu and said, "Sister, you and your senior brother have worked hard these past two years."
Sang Yu looked at her distressedly: "Don't blame Wenzhou, he had no choice but to do so. The situation was so serious at the time, and his first priority was the safety of you and the child. Fortunately, things are developing in a good direction. When the matter is over, you can transfer your household registration to Youyou and reunite your family of three."
Yan Xingcheng also came over and said, "Yiyi, although Wenzhou knows the truth, his life has not been much better than yours in the past two years. He knows that Youyou is his son, but he doesn't dare to get close. The pain should be even more painful.
Don't blame him. Youyou is still with me for the time being. We can't take it lightly. Do you understand? "
Joey nodded slightly: "I know."
"Okay, I'll leave Youyou to you, Sang Yu and I will go back and see the other two."
"good."
Seeing that the door to the ward was closed, Lu Wenzhou walked over to Joey.
His big hand gently brushed her cheek, and he said in a low voice: "Yiyi, can you forgive me?"
