Chapter 206 Whose Child Is It?
Chapter 206 Whose Child Is It?
The door to the ward was suddenly pushed open, and a woman rushed in, panting.
His eyes were filled with anxiety and longing.
She walked straight towards Qiu Ziyue, her tone urgent:
"That's my child! I accidentally lost sight of him just now, please let me take him back."
Looking at the woman in front of her, Qiu Ziyue felt reluctant, but still wanted to hand the child over to the real mother.
The woman hugged Jingyun and left with a beaming smile.
"Wait a moment"!
Upon hearing Qiu Ziyue shout, the woman ran away frantically in her slippers.
Qiu Ziyue hurriedly got out of bed and rushed out of the ward to chase after him.
Although Qiu Ziyue has traveled from ancient times and lost all her memories, she still possesses martial arts skills.
She quickly chased after her and leaped to block the woman's path.
"Are you sure this is your child? Do you know the child's name? What keepsake is the child wearing around their neck?"
The woman paused for a moment, seemingly caught off guard, but quickly replied:
"It's a necklace; I haven't had time to name it yet."
She carefully observed the woman's expression and noticed that her gaze was somewhat unfocused and the information she was conveying was inconsistent.
"If that's the case, then why would you be at the hospital in the middle of the night?"
Qiu Ziyue continued to press for answers.
The woman fell silent, beginning to feel afraid.
"You're lying. The child isn't wearing a necklace, and the child isn't yours."
In the blink of an eye, Qiu Ziyue snatched Jingyun away.
Just then, a man suddenly rushed over, angrily raising his hand to slap the woman.
"Are you trying to steal someone else's child again?!"
The man roared.
The woman was terrified. She squatted on the ground and cried loudly, her helpless eyes filled with fear.
She was clearly unable to cope with the sudden violence.
Seeing this, Qiu Ziyue didn't hesitate to dart to the man's side and quickly grab his wrist.
Her movements were swift and clean, and the man immediately screamed in pain, unable to move his hand.
"Don't you dare bully women, or you'll regret it!"
Qiu Ziyue shouted sternly, her eyes revealing a firm and unyielding determination.
The once quiet ward suddenly became noisy, with many nurses and patients coming out to watch.
Director Li of the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department also witnessed this scene, and she quickly instructed the nurses to investigate the woman's background.
Let's see if she's the child's biological mother.
The nurses acted quickly, conducting an investigation through the hospital's systems and surveillance footage.
A short while later, the nurse rushed over:
"Director, we've found it. This woman is a patient who escaped from the neurology department."
"Her husband favored sons over daughters. After she gave birth to a girl, she was subjected to domestic violence every day, which eventually led to her mental breakdown and she was sent to the neurology department for treatment."
Upon hearing this news, Director Li nodded, turned to face the woman, and said gently but firmly:
"Madam, you are not the child's biological mother. We will ensure the child receives proper care. Please calm down."
The woman froze, a look of confusion and helplessness flashing in her eyes.
She clearly realized she couldn't hold on any longer and whispered:
"I just...I just want a child."
Qiu Ziyue looked at the woman and felt a surge of sympathy.
She gently comforted her:
"Don't worry, you're still young, you'll have your own children."
Qiu Ziyue said to the violent man:
"Is this your wife? She's sick now, and you're still abusing her!"
After being disciplined by Qiu Ziyue, the man apologized very honestly.
“I’m sorry, ever since my wife got sick, she’s been thinking about stealing other people’s children. I’m afraid she’ll commit a crime, so…”
“Treat her well, now take her back for treatment,” Qiu Ziyue said.
The man was very obedient and took the woman back to the neurology department for further treatment.
The nurse said to Qiu Ziyue:
“We need to find out the child’s true identity as soon as possible and ensure his safety. You did a good job by not easily trusting strangers.”
Qiu Ziyue nodded and hugged Jingyun tightly.
Director Li instructed the nurses to notify the neurology staff to strengthen monitoring.
"Twilight Sparkle, Twilight Sparkle, my precious daughter!"
Just then, a woman in her forties with graying hair walked towards Qiu Ziyue.
With tears in her eyes, she rushed to Qiu Ziyue, hugged her tightly, and sobbed uncontrollably.
"Twilight Sparkle, my child, you're finally awake!"
When Qiu Ziyue heard such a cry, she thought to herself, it must be her biological mother.
At this moment, her memories of her past life in the modern world began to resurface.
She won a gold medal in a music competition and was on her way home to tell her parents the good news when a car accident occurred.
The mother's voice was filled with endless sorrow and relief, as if the hardships and waiting of the past nine years had been released at this moment.
Qiu Ziyue gently patted her mother's back, comforting her:
"Mom, don't cry, I'm fine now."
The mother kept sobbing.
The mother gradually calmed down, wiped away her tears, and her voice was choked with emotion:
“Ziyue, so much has happened over the years. Nine years ago, you were in a car accident and became a vegetable. Your father and I took you to major hospitals all over the country, but nothing worked. The doctors said you might stay like this forever…”
Qiu Ziyue felt a sharp pain in her heart. She couldn't imagine what her parents had endured for her all these years.
The mother continued:
"Your father was so angry with you that he suffered a heart attack. He worked himself to the bone to pay for your medical expenses, which led to his illness and his eventual departure from us."
Qiu Ziyue's tears silently streamed down her face. She held her mother's hand and whispered:
"Mom, I'm sorry for making you and Dad suffer."
Director Li and the nurses were deeply moved by what they saw.
Seeing that the mother and daughter were gradually calming down, they advised them to go back to the ward to talk.
On the way back to the ward, the mother's gaze fell on the baby in Qiu Ziyue's arms, and she asked in confusion:
"Twilight Sparkle, whose child is this? How did he end up in your arms?"
Qiu Ziyue blinked, took a deep breath, and whispered in her mother's ear:
"Mom, I need a favor. Could you please tell the doctor that this child is my younger brother?"
Her mother looked at her with a terrified expression.
Qiu Ziyue quickly said:
“I really love this child. Since God sent him to me, I want to raise him. If his biological parents come looking for him, I can return him to them.”
The mother was stunned, a hint of confusion flashing in her eyes, but looking into her daughter's determined gaze, she finally nodded:
"Twilight Sparkle, are you serious?"
Qiu Ziyue nodded, her tone resolute:
"Mom, I have already lost too much time. This child is a gift from God. I will take good care of him and give him a warm home."
The mother gently stroked her child's face, her eyes filled with love and emotion.
“Okay, Twilight Sparkle, I’ll keep this a secret for you. But remember, no matter what happens, you must protect yourself and the baby.”
Qiu Ziyue nodded, her heart filled with gratitude:
"Thank you, Mom. I know this is a gift from God, and I will cherish every minute and every second."
