A pair of hands steadied her.
"Si Han...?"
Following the fair, strong hands, Jiang Shiyu looked up and saw the man's cold, clear face.
"I heard about A Cheng's situation. I'll find a doctor to help A Cheng recover his memory soon. Please be patient during this time."
It was evident the man had seen what had happened in the hospital room earlier.
Upon hearing about Murong Cheng's car accident and amnesia over the phone, Zhao Shuyao sat up abruptly in bed, nearly hurting her back.
"The culprit must be that little slut Su Ziyue! It must be Su Ziyue's doing. I don't believe Murong Cheng's car accident and subsequent amnesia happened so coincidentally, and that he was then brainwashed by Su Ziyue. This definitely has something to do with Su Ziyue."
Anyone could tell that whoever benefited most from Murong Cheng's car accident and amnesia was likely the culprit!
"We can't definitively say Su Ziyue is the murderer..."
She had investigated Su Ziyue and found her to be just an ordinary girl from China who went abroad to study years ago. It was then that she had that one night with Murong Cheng. Afterwards, she had only sent their child to Murong Cheng and raised Ruo Ruo alone abroad.
It seemed Su Ziyue brought Ruo Ruo back to China because her family was in debt.
No wonder Su Ziyue wanted so badly to become the young madam of the Murong family.
In essence, it was all about money.
Perhaps there were few women in the world who could resist a perfect man like Murong Cheng.
There must be someone else behind Su Ziyue...
"Do you want me to help you investigate, or hire a private detective... Speaking of which, did you open that document? It's a DNA paternity test report!"
Hearing Jiang Shiyu speak, Zhao Shuyao knew Jiang Shiyu hadn't looked at the document yet.
"Quick, go check that DNA test!"
If Zhao Shuyao hadn't mentioned it, Jiang Shiyu would have almost forgotten about the document.
After Murong Cheng's car accident, Jiang Shiyu's focus had been entirely on him, leaving no room for other thoughts.
The document was on the nightstand. She opened the drawer and took out the file.
A DNA paternity test...
Whose DNA was it a test with?
A possibility flashed through Jiang Shiyu's mind.
Then she dismissed it. How could that be?
Although she had told Zhao Shuyao that her biological parents were someone else, Zhao Shuyao couldn't have possibly found information about her biological parents so quickly.
So, with whom was it?
Filled with doubt, Jiang Shiyu opened the paternity test report and saw her and Che Che's names clearly written on it.
Paternity index: ninety-nine point nine nine percent...
How could this be?!
Jiang Shiyu picked up her phone and called Zhao Shuyao.
Zhao Shuyao helplessly explained the whole story. "I can't say anything else, but you and Che Che are definitely mother and son, and Ruo Ruo is also your biological daughter. Whether you believe it or not, this is the fact, and you cannot deny that you..."
"What a joke! You must have made a mistake during the DNA test..."
"I couldn't have made a mistake, my dear Shiyu. You have to believe the facts. Che Che and Ruo Ruo are your children!"
"How is that possible?! The woman who had that one night with Murong Cheng back then was clearly Su Ziyue. How could I possibly be the mother of Ruo Ruo and Che Che?!"
Jiang Shiyu's hands trembled, her eyes blurring as she looked at the paternity test report. She tried to focus, to see the words clearly, to confirm she hadn't misread them.
Ruo Ruo and Che Che could not possibly be her children.
If something had truly happened between her and Murong Cheng, why did she have no recollection of it? She had absolutely no memory of these events.
Or perhaps, she had also lost a part of her memory.
After returning from America years ago, she felt as though a period of time was inexplicably missing from her memory, which she had attributed to jet lag...
Jiang Shiyu hung up the phone and immediately checked her medical insurance records.
She was shocked to find that five years ago, while still a university student, she had incurred medical expenses for gynecology.
At the time, she had thought it was a forgotten gynecological issue, but now, the more she looked, the more something felt wrong.
She checked the medical expenses required in America that year, and the expenditure perfectly matched this item.
Had she given birth to a child in America back then?
What kind of international joke was this!
Jiang Shiyu called Zhao Shuyao, demanding an explanation, but Zhao Shuyao refused to say anything. No matter how much Jiang Shiyu pressed, Zhao Shuyao remained silent, not even taking a breath.
"I'm doing this for your own good. You'll understand my good intentions later!"
She had sacrificed so much for her dear Shiyu!
"It's useless if you don't tell me. I have my own ways of finding out."
Jiang Shiyu hung up the phone and immediately booked a flight to America.
She left the very next morning. Upon arriving in America, due to the time difference, the outside was still bathed in bright sunlight.
After disembarking, Jiang Shiyu headed straight to the hospital where she had received treatment.
She inquired at the hospital's reception and had the past year's bills, records, and specific information retrieved.
Jiang Shiyu stood outside the hospital and opened the bills and records.
Upon seeing the two English words for "natural birth," Jiang Shiyu almost lost her footing.
She had given birth to Che Che and Ruo Ruo naturally?!
How was this possible! The hospital must have made a mistake in their records. If she had truly given birth to twins naturally, then why was there still blood when she had that night with Murong Cheng?!
Infuriated, Jiang Shiyu took the bill to argue with the hospital staff, which unexpectedly alerted the police.
The hospital's representative came out and offered to show Jiang Shiyu the video surveillance from that year.
Jiang Shiyu returned to her hotel and received the video from the hospital the next day.
Clicking on the video in the email, the surveillance footage showed that the woman inside was indeed her.
Why was the woman in the surveillance footage heavily pregnant?!
Jiang Shiyu's pupils trembled. The woman in the surveillance footage was both strange and familiar.
Her head throbbed, and fragmented memories flashed before her eyes like broken pieces.
This hospital, which brought her such familiarity and pain...
No, it must be her imagination.
Jiang Shiyu swallowed hard, shaking off the chaotic thoughts in her mind.
"Look, who is this woman in the surveillance footage if not you? She's the same height as you. At that time, you were pregnant..."
The hospital representative beside her was explaining to Jiang Shiyu in English.
"Impossible!" Jiang Shiyu stood up abruptly. "This is definitely not me!"
Then, pushing the representative aside, she rushed out of the hospital.
She ran to the roadside and collapsed weakly, clutching her head.
What was going on...
Why was the person in the surveillance footage clearly herself?
These fragmented memories also belonged to her.
Clearly, Su Ziyue was the biological mother of Ruo Ruo and Che Che...
No.
When Ruo Ruo returned to the country, only a paternity test with Murong Cheng was done. There was no paternity test between Su Ziyue and Ruo Ruo or Che Che.
With this thought, Jiang Shiyu immediately hailed a taxi.
