After hearing her mother calling for her, Zhuang Nainai stared at Mother Zhuang through the display again. Zhuang Nainai grew more agitated as she observed her mother.
Mother Zhuang’s illness was similar to Alzheimer’s disease. Basically, she was able to recognize a person at one instant but fail to do so the next. At this moment, Mother Zhuang’s eyes were bright. Although she was in an unfamiliar environment, she wasn’t panicking and screaming. Zhuang Nainai knew then that Mother Zhuang’s condition had stabilized.
It seemed that...
When Gu Deshou had told Zhuang Nainai that he would let Mother Zhuang consult a doctor, he wasn’t lying!
Zhuang Nainai was overjoyed. “Mother, are you afraid of being alone in an unfamiliar place? Do you miss me?”
“Silly child, why would I be afraid of being alone when I’m already this mature? I think about my Nainai every day. Don’t worry, Mother has been getting better over time. I am slowly recalling some things that happened in the past as well.”
Zhuang Nainai was shocked when she heard this. She turned and glanced at Gu Deshou, asking, “Then you... do you remember what your relationship with Gu Deshou was?”
Upon hearing this, Mother Zhuang seemed uncertain. “I don’t remember. I can’t remember what happened before I became unwell.”
Zhuang Nainai sighed in disappointment.
Mother Zhuang consoled her, “Don’t give up, I’ve heard from Deshou that you’ve married a very outstanding man. Mother’s really happy for you. I’ve caused you to go through so many hardships over the years, and now I’m finally able to see you lead a happy life.”
An outstanding man...
It seemed like Gu Deshou had not told her the truth, and this was exactly what Zhuang Nainai wanted.
Zhuang Nainai immediately smiled. “Yes, I’m really blissful now! Mother, do you still remember Si Zhengting? He was the boy I was pursuing back when I was in high school.”
Upon hearing this, Mother Zhuang thought hard but eventually shook her head. “I don’t remember. It doesn’t matter as long as you’re happy. When Mother’s well again, Mother will return to visit you.”
Zhuang Nainai nodded enthusiastically.
The two idly chatted about trivial matters. Then, as Zhuang Nainai continued chatting to Mother Zhuang, she realized that... Mother Zhuang was video-calling Gu Deshou almost every day?!
Although Mother Zhuang did not remember who Gu Deshou was, whenever she brought him up, her tone of voice and her expression was always bright.
Perhaps Mother really had some history with Gu Deshou?
After they’d been chatting for an hour, a doctor came to persuade Mother Zhuang to end the call. He spoke English with a slight accent, and Zhuang Nainai was unable to fully understand what he was saying. Mother Zhuang replied in her broken English and finally addressed Zhuang Nainai helplessly. “Nainai, let’s talk next time. I have to go and rest or Doctor Mike will get angry with me.”
After she finished her sentence, Mother Zhuang winked at Zhuang Nainai, then both parties ended the call.
Zhuang Nainai couldn’t help but laugh internally. It seemed that Mother Zhuang’s intellect and wit had indeed returned, judging from how she tried to drop Zhuang Nainai a hint that her attending physician’s name was Mike.
This was a clue for Zhuang Nainai to locate Mother Zhuang’s whereabouts.
Zhuang Nainai placed the iPad on the coffee table, then turned and looked at Gu Deshou.
Gu Deshou extended his hand out to her and smiled amicably as he said, “Now, do you believe me when I say that I’ve not ill-treated Mother Zhuang in any way? Are you still unwilling to hand over the USB drive?”
Zhuang Nainai pursed her lips and handed the USB drive over to Gu Deshou. Although Gu Deshou was in his fifties, he was still overflowing with charisma. He must have been a fascinating person when he was younger.
Zhuang Nainai was unable to suppress her suspicions any longer. She pursed her lips and asked, “You once said that it was difficult to determine if the decisions made by the elder members of the family were right or wrong. You also forbade me from asking you about such matters. Now, I’ll just ask you one question. Is my mother really a mistress?”
