“Mommy... Mommy!!”
The baby's cries were heart - wrenching. He stretched out his little hands from Zhao Zifeng's arms, reaching out for his mother.
In his tiny heart, he didn't know that his mother was already dead. He just wanted his mother to kiss and hug him.
Zhou Wei's wife reached out her hands again and again towards her son. She had no tears, only opening her mouth wide and wailing mournfully.
At this moment, Zhou Wei also saw the baby in Zhao Zifeng's arms. He frowned and stared for a long time before hesitantly saying, “This... This can't be my son, can it?!”
He wiped the blood off his face and looked at the baby's constantly outstretched hands in confusion. “What is he doing? Could it be... Is his mom really still here?!”
Zhou Wei originally thought that when Wu Mingyu said she saw his wife, it was just to scare him. But now seeing his son's strange behavior, he instantly felt a chill run down his spine.
Adults may lie, but a little baby wouldn't!
“Humph!”
Looking at Zhou Wei's timid and shrinking appearance, I really thought that such a man didn't deserve to have a wife and child!
“The laws of heaven are clear, the laws of earth are spiritual...”
I joined my sword fingers and recited the incantation to open the celestial eye. With a “snap”, I pointed it on Zhou Wei's glabella. His yang energy was already extremely weak, and my finger hit exactly where the green talisman was pasted. That green talisman actually split into pieces even though it was sealed with tape.
Zhou Wei was stunned for a moment, then suddenly let out a shrill scream. “Ah! There's a ghost!!”
His celestial eye was opened. The first thing he saw was his wife with a pale face but still in human form. The baby's thin little hands were trying to hold his mother's hand again and again, but every time he seemed to have caught the fingers, he would instantly grab at nothing.
The baby cried “wah - wah” for his mother while still trying hard to hug Zhou Wei's wife.
After screaming, Zhou Wei didn't care about the pain all over his body from the beating. He crawled and rushed towards the half - open door.
He wanted to escape!!
However, a pair of feet in nurse shoes appeared beside the half - open door...
Zhou Wei was very familiar with these shoes. When he was hospitalized, the little nurses in the ward all liked to wear these soft - soled leather shoes.
“Help! There's a ghost!!”
He cried out miserably and reached out to hug the nurse's feet. Unexpectedly, he grabbed at nothing. Then, he saw a pale face hanging down. The blood - red eyes stared straight at him and said, “So what if there's a ghost? It's all your fault...”
“Aaaaaah...”
Zhou Wei was almost scared crazy. He clearly saw a big hole in the little nurse's chest. Blood was dripping out of the torn wound, soaking the light pink nurse's uniform.
“Master Du, save me! I'll give you all my money! Please save me. Don't let me die!”
Even at this moment, Zhou Wei was still thinking about how to escape his impending doom.
“I still have a child, a two - year - old child. He's already lost his mother. He can't lose his father too!”
He noticed the pity on my and Du Peilin's faces when we looked at the child, so he immediately started to play the victim.
Unexpectedly, it would have been better if he hadn't said that. As soon as he placed himself in the position of a father, the old lady who had been following Zhao Zifeng couldn't help scolding, “Zhou Wei! You heartless thing! Since the baby was sent to our house, you've never come to see him once. What kind of father are you?!”
“Humph!!”
The old gentleman, who should be Zhou Wei's father - in - law, also pointed at him and scolded, “Do you know that the baby was hospitalized for pneumonia some time ago? How dare you claim to be his father?!”
“Dad!! Mom! I had no choice!”
Zhou Wei cried with snot and tears all over his face. “I went crazy and was forcibly locked up in a mental hospital... It's not that I didn't want to see the baby...”
“Bullshit!”
The old gentleman also cried, wiping his red and swollen eyes. “At that time, Xiaojuan wasn't even dead yet. You only knew how to have a good time outside. We had to scrape together the hospitalization fees several times!”
“Zhou Wei, are you still making excuses at this point?”
There was still that cynical sneer on Du Peilin's face. “It's really hard to wait for you to confess your sins!”
“I... I confess. I was wrong!”
Seeing the soul of the little nurse Li Li approaching and his wife glaring at him full of hatred, Zhou Wei quickly knelt on the ground. “Master Du, I'll do whatever you say!!”
“Die!”
Du Peilin said these two words with a smile.
“Huh?!”
Zhou Wei was stunned. He quickly felt for the green talisman on his head. Since it was stuck with tape, although the talisman paper was already in pieces, it still stuck firmly on his forehead.
“Master, you... Don't you want the money anymore? I'll buy my life!”
Zhou Wei shouted, “You can buy my life and then donate the money to my son! I know you feel sorry for him!”
“Hahaha...”
Du Peilin was almost laughed out of anger. “Look at what you're saying!”
All of us looked at each other in surprise. Really! We had never seen such a brazen person.
Zhou Wei's wife's parents just shook their heads repeatedly. You can know a person's face but not their heart. After being their son - in - law for so many years, Zhou Wei had once again refreshed the lower limit of being a human being.
“Zhou Wei!!”
Before the people in the room could come out of their surprise, they heard a rush of footsteps in the corridor outside. Wu Mingyu screamed and rushed in.
Seeing a room full of people at a glance, it really shocked her. “Du... Master Du? Du Xinghe! How... How did you find this place?”
She didn't recognize Zhou Wei's in - laws, but seeing the thin little child at a glance, she could more or less guess.
“How... How can you break into a private house?”
After the initial shock, Wu Mingyu immediately reacted and pointed at us and scolded, “This is our treatment ward. Are you here to harm Zhou Wei?!”
As she said this, she leaned over to Zhou Wei's side, hugged his arm, and tore off the tape on his forehead with one hand. “Zhou Wei, make them get out of here immediately! Don't delay our treatment!”
Wu Mingyu knew that the talisman was Zhou Wei's lifeline. It was said that once it was torn off, the person would immediately have their soul taken away.
“Ayu, I don't want to die!”
Zhou Wei was extremely scared. He wanted to live and could give up his money. The closer he got to death, the more he felt the preciousness of life. As long as he could live, he could give up everything...
However, it seemed that no one in this room wanted him to live!
He felt a little lost...
“Dad... Dad...”
The baby in Zhao Zifeng's arms tried hard but couldn't get a hug from his mother. So he turned to Zhou Wei disappointedly.
Although Zhou Wei had never liked him, the blood - related kinship couldn't be severed. A child would naturally feel close to his father... His thin little hand suddenly grabbed Zhou Wei's cheek.
