“i’ve finally found him.”
fang shan watched as all sorts of interesting expressions flitted across qiao jiuyin’s face.
in just a few short seconds, qiao jiuyin experienced shock, pain, regret, and joy.
she suddenly stood up from the stool.
with both hands on the marble table in front of her, qiao jiuyin’s body suddenly rushed forward. she wanted to rush out of here and grab fang shan’s clothes to ask him if he was telling the truth.
qiao jiuyin’s head hit the isolation window.
her head hurt a little, but she didn’t care.
her expression was fierce as she questioned fang shan loudly, ” what did you say! you’ve found him? he’s not dead yet? how can this be? isn’t he dead?” after qiao jiuyin finished her roar, her imposing manner that could swallow mountains and rivers turned sorrowful again. ” how could that be? ”
she seemed to have gone crazy as she smashed the glass window with her fists in pain. “didn’t he die? wasn’t he dead? i heard the doctor say it with my own ears. he said that he was severely deprived of oxygen when he was born. i … i abandoned him, how could he still be alive!”
at that moment, qiao jiuyin’s heart was more shocked than happy.
she had never dared to think about whether the child was still alive. in qiao jiuyin’s heart, she had already sentenced that child to death.
therefore, fang shan’s words were like a bolt of lightning that struck her head. it brought the woman who had heartlessly abandoned her child in the delivery room back then to the surface once again. qiao jiuyin had no choice but to reevaluate how cruel she had once been.
fang shan looked at the crazed qiao jiuyin with a smile on his lips, but his eyes were filled with tears. “did you know? he’s right outside the prison.”
hearing fang shan’s words, qiao jiuyin suddenly fell silent.
“the poor child you abandoned is right outside the prison. you’re only separated by a wall. if you didn’t do anything wrong, if you weren’t so cruel, you could hug him as long as you wanted to.”
fang shan suddenly started crying.
as he cried, he howled at qiao jiuyin, ” why were you so cruel back then?! don’t they say that children are a piece of flesh that fell from the mother’s body and are treasures that the mother holds in her hands?”
” why are you so cruel? mom, you’ve caused us so much pain. do you know that?! ” after fang shan finished his question, he squatted on the floor of the meeting room and sobbed in pain.
when qiao jiuyin heard the word ‘mom’, her heart ached so much that it felt like it had been repeatedly stabbed by a knife.
this was the first time she had heard her child call her ‘mother’.
qiao jiuyin let out an ‘ah’ and sobbed as well.
the prison police, who were used to all kinds of situations, also felt bad.
half an hour had passed, but the prison police didn’t interrupt their conversation.
qiao jiuyin was crying. she heard fang shang crying in an incomprehensible and pained tone, ” for so many years, i’ve been living in fear every moment. i was afraid that i’d take the wrong path and that i’d end up like you. i’m afraid, i’m afraid that i’ll become the kind of person i hate the most! ” i’m afraid that others will poke at my nose and say,’look, the dragon gives birth to the dragon and the phoenix gives birth to the phoenix. the son of a mouse knows how to dig holes. qiao jiuyin’s son is just like him, evil-hearted …’ ”
that was why fang shan had thanked him in a teasing tone at the graduation banquet.
he thanked himself for not forgetting his original intention and not taking the wrong path.
fang shan wiped his tears and sniffled. ” do you know how envious and lonely i feel every time i see fang zicheng and fang zikai bickering? ” if you weren’t so cruel back then, i would also have a brother. when you’re either dead or in jail, there’s still someone to grow up with me. ”
he stood up and stared at the woman who was crying her heart out through the glass window. he actually said, ” i’m grateful that you gave birth to me. if i had a choice, i’d rather not have been born into this world. ”
this world was too f * cking disgusting.
fang shan’s words were like pearls. every word and word felt like someone was using the tip of a knife to stab qiao jiuyin’s flesh.
“shan-shan, shan-shan, i’m sorry. i’m sorry, and i’m sorry for that child.” at the mention of that child, qiao jiuyin’s heart ached so much that it almost couldn’t calm down.
she clutched her chest and asked him expectantly, ” shan-shan, can you get him to come and see me next time? ” there are some things that i want to tell him personally …”
“don’t even think about it!”
fang shan rejected him ruthlessly.
he said, ” i won’t let you see him. from the moment you abandoned him, you lost the chance to see him. ”
what right did she have to see her!
she didn’t even have the right to mention him!
“i’m leaving.” when fang shan finally saw qiao jiuyin’s crying and hunched back figure, he could not bring himself to say the words ‘take care’. fang shan nodded at the prison police, and the prison police announced the end of the meeting.
qiao jiuyin, who was still crying, was pulled away by the police.
fang shan also left the meeting room with the police.
he walked side by side with the police officer to the main entrance. the police officer in charge of receiving him looked to be in his forties or fifties. when they reached the door, the police officer suddenly patted fang shan on the shoulder.
fang shan stopped in his tracks and looked up at him. “what’s wrong, police uncle?”
the police uncle sighed. ” i thought about it and decided to tell you. ” he stared into fang shan’s eyes and said, ” there’s something wrong with your mother’s body. ”
fang shan was stunned.
the uncle said, ” it’s cervical cancer. it’s already in the late stages. it was diagnosed last year. ” your uncle will come to visit her every once in a while. the medical technology in our prison is definitely not as good as those big hospitals. your uncle could only bring in some medicine. in fact, in this case, your family members can apply for medical parole. your medical skills are very good now, and there are cases of recovery in the middle and late stages.”
“if she’s cured, it’ll be the same to send her back to serve her sentence. if it can’t be cured … you’ve tried your best before you die, so you won’t have any regrets in the future.” he had encountered such a situation before.
with that, the uncle looked deeply at fang shan and said, ” child, i’m only telling her about her situation. as for what to do, it’s up to your family. ”
fang shan was not calm.
after thanking the uncle, fang shan walked out the door.
his heart was heavy. it was only when ah ming grabbed his arm and called him ” brother ” when he saw that he had lost his soul that he came back to his senses.
fang shan stared at ah ming, his mind replaying the words the police uncle had said. fang shan suddenly hugged ah ming. ah ming was stunned for a moment before he patted his shoulder and asked, ” you saw mom? ” was she alright? did you cry? your eyes are so red.”
ah ming didn’t know the truth of his abandonment, but he still had some yearning for qiao jiuyin.
was she alright?
fang shan shook his head and said, ” i don’t know if she’s doing well. ”
“what?”
“i’ve finally found him.”
fang shan watched as all sorts of interesting expressions flitted across qiao jiuyin’s face.
in just a few short seconds, qiao jiuyin experienced shock, pain, regret, and joy.
