The next day, Lisa rested for a day. Because of yesterday’s situation, CEO Song directly approved her leave.
Although Lisa and Yeonjun had agreed to come together last night, Lisa and Jungkook still made a trip to the hospital first.
When they came to Lisa’s mother’s ward, because she wanted to ask about her mother’s past, Lisa told Jungkook to wait outside for a while.
When she knocked on the door, her mother was leaning against the headboard in a daze. When she heard the voice, she turned around and gave Lisa a gentle smile.
“Yan, why are you here?” Mother Mo asked.
“Mother, how are you feeling today?” Lisa smiled as she walked to mother Mo’s bedside and put down the fruit.
“There are a lot of caretakers taking care of me. Why do you keep coming?” Mother Mo smiled as she answered Lisa.
Seeing that her mother was energetic, Lisa was also very happy. She knew that her mother’s body was slowly getting better.
“Mom, I came here today because I have something to ask you,” Lisa said carefully.
“Okay, tell me.”
Lisa hesitated for a moment, but she still asked, “Mom, I want to ask you about Cheng’s background.”
Mother Mo’s hand that took the fruit from Lisa froze, and her eyes looked at Lisa in a daze.
Lisa lowered her eyes and continued, “Yesterday, Eunbi came to the house to cause a ruckus. She said a lot of things, including the fact that Cheng is not Mo Dong’s child.”
Mother Mo’s hand that was holding the fruit slowly tightened and fell silent.
The ward was silent. Even the sound of breathing could be heard.
“Why did Eunbi come to our house?” After a long time, mother Mo asked Lisa.
Lisa felt that Eunbi wanted to take revenge on her for what had happened before, but saying so would require a lot of explanation. She could only say simply, “Mother, you know that Eunbi has always been targeting me. It’s normal for her to want to cause trouble, but she even brought up Cheng.”
Mother Mo was silent for a long time before she looked at Lisa. Seeing that Lisa’s eyes were filled with gentleness and determination, mother Mo could not help but shed tears as she covered her face and wept.
She did not know when her daughter had become so strong. It was her fault for making her children suffer so much.
“Cheng, he is not Mo Dong’s child.”
The affirmative answer that mother Mo gave was like a heavy hammer striking Lisa’s heart. Even though she was prepared for it, her mind was still blank for a moment.
Mother Mo wept for a long time before she spoke with a trembling voice, “When you were five years old, I went to a class reunion once. That night, I was drunk.”
“Originally, I asked Mo Dong to come pick me up, but I don’t know why I woke up in the hotel room the next day, and...”
Mother Mo could not continue speaking. She could only cover her face with both hands and not look into Lisa’s eyes. Mother Mo’s words also reminded Lisa of the time when she was five years old. There was a period of time when Mo Dong and her mother had a cold war. Later, the two’s relationship inexplicably eased up, and then there was Cheng.
It was also after that that the Mo family’s business slowly improved, and the family’s life became prosperous.
Lisa’s hands clenched into fists. She suppressed her emotions and asked, “Mom, is this the reason why you and Mo Dong didn’t split up your assets after the divorce?”
Mother Mo nodded. She was afraid that this matter would be exposed in front of others.
Lisa took a deep breath, grabbed mother Mo’s hand, and said, “Mom, you said that you asked Mo Dong to pick you up. Did you call him?”
“Yes, I remember calling him and sending him a text message. I don’t know why...”
At this point, mother Mo suddenly grabbed her hair, but she didn’t use her fists to hit her head. The sudden violence scared Lisa so much that her heart was beating wildly. She quickly hugged mother Mo tightly and pressed the emergency bell beside the bed.
“Mother, mother, what’s wrong with you? Don’t scare me, don’t scare me.”
Lisa hugged mother Mo and asked anxiously, but mother Mo seemed to be unable to hear anything as she beat everything around her. Jungkook also seemed to have noticed the abnormality in the room and rushed in directly.
Seeing the situation in front of her, he quickly held onto mother Mo with Lisa. The doctor quickly rushed over and injected a tranquilizer into mother Mo to calm her down.
Lisa looked at her mother’s sleeping face and felt mentally and physically exhausted. Every time she felt that one thing was over, another thing would happen again.
When she heard the doctor telling her not to do anything that would provoke the patient and asking her to take her mother to see a psychiatrist, Lisa’s heart was filled with mixed feelings.
Whether it was Cheng or her mother, terrible things had happened without her knowing, and she was powerless to do anything about it.
It was not until she made an appointment with Yeonjun that Lisa instructed the caregivers to take care of her mother. Only then did Lisa and Jungkook go to the entrance of the hospital to wait for Cheng.
“Sister, why didn’t you go up first?”
Yeonjun could not help but ask in surprise when he saw Lisa and Jungkook waiting for him.
“We just arrived too. I wanted to wait for you.”
“Okay, then let’s go up together!”
