161. Amnesia, older children
I walked out of the courthouse before the end of work, and Xiao Dong originally asked me to go to his office again after handing over to Xiao Zhou, but I thought about it and felt that it was not necessary. He has just explained everything he wants to explain to me, and if there is any nervousness in the future, he will call me to inform me. The only regret is that Zhou Yu's criminal case is not something I can control, even if Xiao Dong is still willing to handle it, it is out of my scope of responsibility to inquire.
Walking to the side of the road, I beckoned to stop a taxi, and as I sat up, I couldn't help but look back at the solemn outer door of the courthouse.
I used to be familiar with this place, but now I feel a chill. That day, when the superior leaders came to investigate, I was still fighting for the prosecutor of my dreams, and after a while, not only did I unload everything and stay away from my dreams, but I may not even be able to step through that door again.
Thinking of this, my heart is more cool.
The driver in front of me asked me where I was going, and he was stunned for two seconds before reporting the address, and then smiled wryly. Yesterday, I was still working with Zhou Yu and said that I was going to work, but when I came to the court today, I was told that I could "take a vacation", which is a bit ironic.
No one wants to take their own leave in this way, even if I might have to take maternity leave early in the future because of childbirth.
Now I am really empty, and when I come to the hospital building, there is no accident that I will bump into the Zhou family again, but it is not Zhou's mother, but Zhou Yu's father, who is coming out of the elevator.
When he saw me, his eyebrows frowned and he ordered, "You come with me." ”
It stands to reason that I was in a bad mood at this time and didn't want to deal with his family, but at this time, I was afraid that I would definitely bump into Zhou's mother again, so after thinking about it, I walked out of the building with Zhou's father.
Coming to a secluded place, Father Zhou turned his head and stared at me with a solemn gaze and said, "What you said yesterday is true?" Did you and Xiaoyu really go to his aunt? ”
I met his gaze and said in a cold voice: "I don't know if it's really his aunt, anyway, he introduced it like this." After driving for several hours, I met people in a farmhouse. ”
"Then how could she show you the letter? According to Yanan, no one could touch her sister's letters, and even my mother-in-law was too frightened to touch them because of her suddenness. How could I have shown you a letter the first time I saw you? Is it ......?"
"No, no." I directly blocked his speculation, "Uncle Zhou, I had never seen your sister-in-law before that day, and I don't know what letters she had, so please don't judge me with pride or anything else." ”
Father Zhou was stunned by me, his eyes were slightly stunned, but his mouth was - "You call me Uncle Zhou?" ”
I can't help laughing, what should I call if I don't call this? Or do you think I don't even deserve to call him "uncle"? I lowered my eyes and responded in a soft voice: "I know, next time I won't call again, Mr. Zhou." ”
"That's not what I meant." Listening to Father Zhou's tone, it seemed a little anxious, and I didn't say anything more.
After being relatively silent, the atmosphere became a little awkward, and after a while, Father Zhou coughed twice and said, "There is no need to turn over the events of the year today, just let it pass." After going back yesterday, Yanan didn't sleep well all night, and she didn't belong all night, so she didn't do anything when she came over today, so don't go up now, let her stay with Xiao Yu for a while. ”
I smiled sarcastically and turned to leave.
After leaving the hospital, I took a taxi back to my residence, kicked off my shoes and lay down in the sand. Maybe it was really physically and mentally exhausted, and after a while I fell asleep in a hazy way, but after a while, I woke up with the sound of music ringtones.
When I opened my eyes, it was pitch black, and I was in a trance for a moment before I came back to my senses, and it was the mobile phone that I left in the bag next to the door when I entered the door. I got up and walked to the door, thinking, where is it just a moment of silence, and when I come back, the sky is still bright, but it will be even dark. I turned on the light and flipped out my phone, and saw that it was almost ten o'clock on it, and the ringtone had stopped.
When I communicated with Zhou Yu yesterday, I told him my mobile phone number, and he made a total of eight calls since 7 o'clock.
My fingers rubbed on the screen and didn't dial back, but just when I was about to put down the phone, it rang again, and it was still Zhou Yu. After a little hesitation, he pressed the connect button, but his voice was not heard immediately, and a few gasps were heard in silence.
After I fed me lightly, Zhou Yu finally spoke, but it was an accusation: "You don't keep your promises!" I said that I would come to the hospital to accompany me after work, but I waited for you to come and didn't see you until now, and I didn't answer your phone. ”
"Isn't there anyone else around you?" I talked about him left and right, and changed the subject.
But Zhou Yu didn't eat this set, and still asked very unpleasantly: "Why don't you come?" Did you lie to me yesterday? ”
"What did I lie to you?"
"You lie to me, as long as I am obedient and don't lose my temper, I will come over every day; Lie to me that I have to go to work, I can't be in the hospital every day; I also lied to me that I was injured and couldn't go with you to see the baby. Did you take advantage of this opportunity to dump me, so you deliberately threw me to those people? No way to tell you, where are you now, I'm coming to you, you don't want to get rid of me! ”
Listening to those words, the nameless fire in his heart rose, and he was not depressed, so the tone of his voice was not good: "Zhou Gongjin, who do you think I am you?" The 'people' you speak of are your parents and brothers, and they take care of you in a natural way, so why should I have to stay in the hospital with you? It's just that you're more familiar with me. You're coming to me? Can you break your ribs? Can you be kept tightly guarded by your family? Since sooner or later you will go to the United States with them, then take advantage of the fact that you don't provoke me again. ”
If, in the worst-case scenario, Xiao Dong fails to find evidence to clear my suspicion, and the framing of the blame becomes a fact, then the bribe money of "300,000 yuan" is enough to convict me and go to prison. Even if I can be tried out of court because I am pregnant, should I let my baby be stigmatized as a mother as soon as I am born?
Still is...... Providence wants me to give up this child and hand over custody to the Zhou family, and the baby has nothing to do with me from now on?
As soon as I thought of this, I felt a sharp pain in my heart, and I was as familiar as I was at the beginning of the year.
I suddenly lost the mood to speak again, so I just cut off the phone and turned off my phone.
The moment I walked out of the courthouse, I thought that at most I was getting farther and farther away from my dream, and from then on, it might be out of reach, and I didn't expect it to be so deep. It wasn't until I woke up from a dream and heard Zhou Yu's voice that I suddenly realized that there was a major decision waiting for me in reality.
I can't take it calmly when it comes to children, just like it is about Zhou Yu.
By the way, child, by this time I haven't eaten dinner yet, and my stomach is already singing empty city plans in protest. I went into the kitchen and rummaged through the fridge to find all the nutritious meats, but it took time to make them.
In the end, I took shrimp and shredded pork and fried noodles, and then cooked a vegetable soup, but I didn't know the taste.
Facts have proved that no matter how nutritious and delicious food is, you also need to be in a mood when eating, otherwise it will be a violent thing.
It's like...... No matter how beautiful love is, once it involves marriage and the rest of the people, you need a strong heart to carry the grind that life brings you, otherwise you will only fall apart, just like me.
Tossing and turning at night, very sleepy, but sleeping unsteadily. I always dreamed that there were gurgling footsteps in the dead space, and a pair of feet and a pair of handcuffs appeared in my sight, and I wanted to raise my head to see, but I couldn't do it. Finally, the baby's cry faded from my ears until it disappeared, and I woke up from a nightmare.
A wipe of his forehead, wet hands, rolling down cold sweat.
I got up and went to the bathroom, and looked in the mirror with my head soaked with sweat, my face was pale, and I looked particularly embarrassed. I know that such hesitation is very bad for the baby, but the dream cannot be controlled, and the thinking cannot be stopped.
Today was the date for the prenatal check-up, so I went to the bathroom and took a shower and started packing up. Anyway, I can't drink water or eat breakfast, and it's almost seven o'clock. But when I opened the door and looked down, the whole person froze.
wide-eyed, I couldn't believe that Zhou Yu would sleep on his side next to the door!
He was even wearing a hospital gown, and he was curled up by my door. All kinds of questions flashed through his mind, first of all, how could his injuries allow him to toss so much? What about his family, haven't they been guarding others in the hospital, how could they let him sneak out of the hospital alone? Also, how can he still know the way home when he has amnesia?
Suddenly, I thought of this as his home......
Has there always been a place for him in my heart? His eyes fell to the opposite door, and he immediately denied the idea in his heart, Zhou Yu will come back here because he has an impression of this place, after all, the house over there is also his residence.
It was impossible for him to just lie on the ground and sleep, crouching down and pushing him. Zhou Yu opened his eyes in a daze, his eyes were foggy, and I reluctantly spoke: "Why are you sleeping here?" ”
After the black eyes gradually cleared, he immediately became angry, and he opened his mouth to complain: "You don't answer my phone and hang up my phone!" ”
I didn't have anything to explain to his accusations, and I couldn't explain anything to him, so I had to say, "You get up first." But he leaned on the ground and refused, "I don't get up, you obviously promised me to go to the hospital, and then you didn't keep your word." ”
"It's nothing to do with telling you to get up, it's cold on the ground, you get up first and then talk." I frowned and whispered to him, my own injury was not healed, and I couldn't get out of bed because of the pain in my ribs, but now I ran away from the hospital and tossed.
But Zhou Yu still didn't get up, and said to himself: "My feet are numb." ”
I was really speechless for him, so I had to reach out and help him. I pity a pregnant woman with a big belly, and I was gasping for breath when he finally got up from the ground trembling and staggered back to the house, and helped him into the sand.
After sitting down next to him, he gasped and asked, "How did you get here?" ”
Zhou Yu was willing to explain honestly at this time: "I sneaked out by them without paying attention, and then came by car." ”
"Do you remember this?"
He thought for a moment and replied, "When the driver asks me where I'm going, I only have this place name in my head." But I don't know what floor you are, and you knocked on several doors to no avail, and finally had to sleep outside the door. ”
And he happened to be sleeping outside my door...... Maybe he subconsciously had an impression of this place.
I sat back for a moment to breathe my breath, and even if I didn't want to, I still had to call his home, because I guess the hospital was already in chaos at this time. After all, now this person is an "older child with amnesia"!
