Can second auntie’s family really watch her go to prison?
Of course, the answer is no!
By the time Pei Ge up, her cousin had already found someone to rescue her mother.
“Qiao Jingyun! Do you really have a way to get my mother out?”
Although dressed in a fashionable outfit with a matching red wool coat, it could not hide the fatigue on her face.
One look at her face and her skin, and it was clear that she had not slept for a night; the exhaustion on her face was a stark contrast from her usual energetic self.
After she left her father’s study last night, she called this woman without minding the time or if the latter was already asleep.
Surprisingly, the woman readily agreed to help her get her mother out.
That was something she truly did not expect.
As such, she rushed to the woman’s place first thing in the morning.
“Of course,” confirmed the latter, who was in an ivory nightgown, after she took a sip of her milk.
“What is that?” she pressed, a little unable to believe the woman.
“If you doubt me, then don’t come here,” said the other coldly upon perceiving her skepticism.
She panicked when she heard the woman say that.
“No, no, no! Of course, I don’t doubt you; I’m just a little curious what method you’ll use.”
“Hmph!”
Qiao Jingyun scoffed at her ingratiating act. “Don’t worry; since I said that I can get your mother out, that means that I can do it.”
She rolled her eyes as she said that.
“Still, I’ll need your cooperation in this.”
“Cooperation? What do you need me to do? I’ll do anything provided that you can save my mom!”
When this woman requested her cooperation, she knew at once that the former wanted to use her again.
However, this time around, she was not bothered by it; this was because, as she said, she was willing to be used by her as long as the latter could save her mother.
“I just need you to put on an act for me...”
...
When afternoon came, Ji Ziming’s parents arrived before he did.
“Ge Ge, why didn’t you tell us anything when something this big happened to your mother?” The man’s parents chastised her the moment they arrived in the ward.
At their chiding, which was out of concern, she felt tears begin to build up in her eyes.
“Mom...”
“Silly lass, we’re one family. Even though you’re not married to our son yet, to me, you are already part of my family. No matter what, you must tell us your problems; don’t just keep it bottled to yourself.”
Seeing the moistening of her eyes, Madam Ji abruptly consoled her.
“If my son didn’t call us, we wouldn’t even know that something like this had happened to your mother.”
So Ziming called his parents?
In retrospect, if it were not him, no one else would.
“Alright.”
Mister Ji frowned uncomfortably when he noted that both women had misty eyes due to their emotions.
“Pei Ge, we asked the doctor about your mother’s condition earlier. They said that it’s a little serious. I’ve arranged for her to be transferred to another hospital for a thorough examination. Don’t worry; when the results are out, I’ll arrange for the best neurosurgeon for her.”
Even though he had said that with a long face, Pei Ge still found him to be extremely adorable!
“Dad, thank you!”
As she spoke, she hugged the older man with a grateful smile.
This was the first time she had addressed him as dad so clearly.
The older man pushed her away due to discomfort from being hugged so suddenly and coughed softly.
His wife watched all these from the side with visible amusement.
“Some people are just dishonest about their feelings; they’re clearly worried about things...”
“Cough, cough!” He coughed several times before saying uncomfortably, “I’ll go make a call outside.”
He then quickly left the ward.
Pei Ge watched the older man leave the ward, feeling deeply grateful to the couple.
“Ge Ge, don’t worry; we’ll definitely find ways to treat your mother and make her be present on your wedding.”
Madam Ji told her comfortingly as she patted her hands gently.
“Mhm...”
“Anyway... how exactly did your mom get hit by a car? Why all of a sudden?”
A bitter smile appeared on her face at the older woman’s questions.
“It’s my fault...”
Yes, it’s all my fault. If I didn’t say something like that, mom wouldn’t be in coma and have her life dangling by a thread right now...
“Silly lass, how could this be your fault? If anyone’s to blame, it’s the driver who hit your mother.”
“I...” She opened her mouth to explain things to the other but did not know how or where to start.
In the end, all her words were condensed into a single sigh.
“Okay, don’t worry about these things. Your mom will get better. Don’t be too upset, or else your mom will feel bad to find you like this when she wakes up.”
In the middle of their conversation, Mister Ji returned with several individuals dressed in lab coats.
“Okay, let’s go. The specialists and ward have already been arranged at the capital’s main hospital. We’ll make our way there now.”
“Mhm.”
Pei Ge nodded and followed this group outside.
She was about to leave the hospital when she saw Chen Zhengchu in his doctor’s coat approaching her.
“Pei Ge, hang on.”
She paused at this.
“Mom, you and dad go first. My friend has something to tell me; I’ll follow once he’s done talking.”
