Chapter 42: Mother
The shower head turned on and hot water spilled down, washing away the exhaustion from Dong Xie's body.
More than five hours of high tension, fear, and several times almost losing his life. Thinking about it now, Dong Xie felt like it was a miracle that he was still alive to take a shower here.
As soon as he entered the apartment, the word of blood would be declared over. From now on, that evil spirit would never pose any threat to them again, unless the occupants made a fool of themselves and returned to that place.
After taking a shower, he stepped out of the bathroom, looked at Dong Ning, and said, "Alright, you go wash up, Ning. I'm going to make a call to my uncle."
"Well …… brother, don't worry too much, your grandmother she …… should be fine."
After Dong Ning entered the bathroom, Dong Xie walked over to the sofa and sat down, taking the cell phone that was charging, he made a call to his uncle.
Soon, the call was connected.
"Hey, uncle…… how is it now?"
Five minutes later, Dong Xie hung up the phone, his face becoming grim.
Currently, Grandma's situation was a very serious pneumonia infection, and at such an old age, the old man's immunity had already dropped considerably. On the doctor's side, a critical notice had already been issued.
It seems that it is necessary to make a trip over there.
Uncle's intention is to also bring Ah Ning together to come, of course, she comes or not is not important, the key is Dong Xie must come.
Dong Xie's heart is very sad at this time, thinking that his grandmother, who loved him so much back then, is about to die, his heart is very sad. Grandmother is also a bitter person, grandfather died very early, grandmother is to raise four children, and Dong Xie's mother is grandmother's youngest daughter. However, such a daughter died young at the age of 33. Therefore, she poured all her feelings into Dong Xie.
The cause of her mother's death was sudden cardiac death. However, the mother had no history of heart disease, hypertension, and there was no history of sudden cardiac death in her family. Therefore, the final conclusion was that it might belong to sudden death from overwork. At that time, my father, who was a documentary director, was out shooting, and my mother stayed home alone to take care of Dong Xie. Dong Xie was only three years old at the time, and all he knew later was that his mother's remains were found on a stretch of highway on the outskirts of K City, with half of her body collapsed on top of his own, who was sitting in the passenger seat. From the brake marks she had made a sharp turn and then forced the car to stop. And at that time only three-year-old Dong Xie was sitting in the passenger seat, but he did not even remember that memory at all.
At that time, the mother was taking Dong Qi to play at the amusement park, and this unfortunate accident happened on the way back to the city. Although at that time, unlike nowadays, there is surveillance everywhere, the car does not have a car recorder, but judging from the brake marks, the mother did not drive at excessive speed, the vehicle did not have traces of an accident. The suspicion of homicide was completely ruled out.
Grandmother and uncle have actually been very complaining about the father. After all, if father hadn't gone out to shoot the documentary, mother wouldn't have died of overwork because she had been burdened with household chores and taking care of the children at home all by herself. However, it was only a year and a half after that that the father married his stepmother, which made the grandmother even more extremely unhappy. In particular, the fact that the stepmother and father had been college classmates back then even made them wonder if father and stepmother had already had an illicit relationship long before mother's death.
As she gradually grew up, it wasn't as if Dong Xie hadn't suspected this possibility, but in her heart, she wasn't quite willing to accept it. After all, his stepmother had always taken care of him as if she were his own mother since he was a child, so he secretly investigated it later. But then he determined that his stepmother had been studying photography over in Hong Kong before his mother's death. Back then in college, his father and stepmother were both students in the directing department, and in those days when the entertainment industry in Hong Kong was much more developed than on the mainland, one of his stepmother's relatives who had fled Hong Kong in the early years had enabled her to go there to pursue her studies in photography.
According to the father and stepmother, the stepmother returned to the Mainland a year after her mother's death to attend a university reunion, only to learn that her father, who had married as soon as he graduated that year, had been widowed. So, the stepmother renewed her confession to the father and renewed her courtship before they got back together. Half a year later the father and stepmother married, and in the past few months, the stepmother gave birth to Ah Ning.
So …… Dong Qi is almost certain that Ah Ning's real father is mostly a Hong Kong man, and the father has become a receiver. A Ning's aunt has also been to Hong Kong to track down A Ning's biological father, but has been nothing. There are too many suspects, and many of those people are now married with children, and it is really difficult to trace them. It's impossible to bring back the hairs of all these people to do paternity tests one by one. And to be honest, even if we did find Ah Ning's biological father, what could we do? There was no point.
Dong Xie walked over to the closet and opened it up. Inside were many clothes that perfectly suited the sizes of himself and Ah Ning. Within this apartment, no matter if it was clothes, or food, anything could be produced by touching the closet, refrigerator, or cupboard with a single thought.
Everyone has a safe in their home, set a code of your own, and then just enter the currency currency you want, the amount, the denomination, the exact amount, and it will all be the newest currency issued in each country. As long as the safe can fit, you can have as much as you want. Previously, Dong Xie had already taken out several million dollars in cash from the safe, depositing it into the bank card tied to his Alipay and another card tied to Ah Ning's WeChat. So, right now, Dong Xie wasn't short of money at all. He was going to transfer some money from Alipay to his uncle later, after all, his uncle's family wasn't financially well-off either. Over the years, Grandma's medical expenses had been borne by his uncle.
Currently, the aunt had also gone there. Dong Xie thought about it, it's better not to let Ah Ning also go there together, otherwise when the aunt sees her, she might say some more unpleasant words, it's better to wait until the aunt has gone, then let Ah Ning also go.
So, he sent a message to Ah Ning's cell phone, saying that he was leaving first. Then, went out.
……
Inside the hospital.
"You're here! Ah Evil!"
When Dong Xie arrived inside the hospital room, Grandma was wearing a respirator, and on the side was an ECG.
"Fortunately, the doctor said it was resuscitated." Uncle looked at his grandmother, who was still unconscious, and said, "Mom he's been chanting about your mother a lot these past few days."
Dong Qi couldn't help but feel doubly heartbroken. After so many years, Grandma still firmly remembered her mother.
Watching his grandmother finally being resuscitated, Dong Xie finally felt a little more at ease.
"Where's auntie and Lily?"
"Your aunt went back to fetch a change of clothes, and Lily, who still has to work in the afternoon, went back first."
Auntie was sitting in front of her grandmother's bed at this time, and Dong Xie's other uncle was sitting next to her aunt.
"Why isn't Ah Ning here?" That other uncle opened his mouth and asked.
The aunt immediately raised her head, and on her face, an expression of obvious displeasure appeared.
