Chapter 585: Adoptive Parents' Confession
Chapter 585: Adoptive Parents' Confession
Hena didn't expect that so many things would happen while she was away for a while to have a meal.
Fifteen students in the class died, most of whom were from other places.
Originally, the student leaders could have handed over the responsibility of contacting the family, but she had always been so hands-off, never minding anything. But this time, when we went to contact the class monitor, we found out she was also seriously injured and in the hospital.
Hena had to do it herself.
But how can you easily communicate with parents who have lost their children? They all throw tantrums, lose their temper, and become unreasonable.
Hena had a terrible headache and was filled with anger. She had to go to the hospital to see a doctor as required by the school.
In addition to the 15 who died, several others suffered varying degrees of injuries and needed to be hospitalized for observation. You can't be without someone by your side.
Su Mang was the most seriously injured, so she had her own ward, which was relatively quiet. He Na stayed with her most of the time.
At four o'clock in the morning, Su Mang woke up slowly. Looking at the white ceiling and the furnishings in the room, she understood where she was.
Great, not dead.
Lady luck favored her this time.
Su Mang was relieved and a little excited. She was still alive, didn't it mean that even God was helping her?
Turning her head, she saw Hena sitting on a chair, taking a nap with her eyes closed.
The other person didn't look like he was sleeping very comfortably, with his eyebrows furrowed.
Su Mang tried to move her body, stretched out an arm to reach the water cup on the bedside, and tried her best to pull it to the ground.
The sound of shattering glass was amplified in the quiet room.
Hena was suddenly awakened and was a little confused when she saw the mess on the ground.
Su Mang's lips were dry and cracked. She coughed weakly twice and said in a hoarse voice, "I'm sorry, teacher, I'm a little thirsty."
Hena rubbed her eyes, stood up, took a disposable cup to get a glass of water, inserted a straw and brought it to her mouth.
Su Mang gulped down a few mouthfuls and lay back on the pillow.
It was not easy to fall asleep in this kind of environment, and after being woken up, Hena completely lost her sleepiness. There happened to be something she needed to deal with, and now that the person involved was awake, she asked directly.
"Do you know what your blood type is?"
Here it comes, Su Mang thought.
She acted confused and said, "Type A, why are you asking this?"
Hena observed her reaction and continued to ask, "Did you go on the day of the blood collection?"
"You mean... last semester, when I first enrolled...? Of course I went..." Su Mang blinked twice and looked away.
"Tell the truth." Hena ordered in a serious tone.
Su Mang looked frightened, her face pale as she spoke, "That day... I was helping you enter file information in your office. It was a lot of work, and it was very complicated... I wanted to finish it quickly, so I asked a classmate to give me some samples and submit them for me..."
"We both have the same blood type, type A, so I thought it was okay..."
Hena interrupted impatiently, "What type A?! Do you know that because of incorrect information and the wrong blood transfusion, your life was almost lost?"
Su Mang looked stunned: "How is that possible? You mean..."
"Impossible! Both my parents have donated blood, and they both have type A blood. There's no way I could be wrong! I must be type A! Cough cough cough cough..."
Seeing Su Mang's uncomfortable look, Hena's anger subsided a little.
This girl was indeed the most comfortable one for her to work with. She was efficient and never needed any talk. The only time she had a problem was when she was helping her with something.
Hena's tone brightened slightly. "I've already notified your parents. They should be arriving the day after tomorrow. You can ask them about these matters then."
Who knows if "Auntie" will still be around the day after tomorrow? If she's not here, how will this play go on?
Su Mang's mind worked quickly. She immediately pretended to be deeply shocked and unable to accept it. Despite the pain, she struggled to sit up.
"My computer, my computer... Impossible... I need to ask them right now..."
Hena quickly pushed her down, scolded her not to get excited, and then handed her the laptop on the bedside table.
It just so happened that Su Youmin and his wife were not sleeping well either. When the computer prompt sounded, they immediately stood up and saw that it was their daughter calling.
The two of them picked up the phone excitedly, and when they saw their daughter wearing a hospital gown and lying on the bed receiving oxygen, tears instantly flowed down their faces.
"Tiantian! Does it hurt? Look at you, my daughter. How did you get into this state? Mom told you not to apply for military medical treatment. Look at you..."
"I heard from your class teacher that he was hit in the heart. Does it hurt? The anesthetic should have worn off by now, right? Your mother and I will leave today and will be here soon..."
Su Mang waited patiently for them to finish speaking, then asked expressionlessly, "Dad, Mom, am I your biological child?"
The two were stunned, and their hearts skipped a beat.
Mother Su wiped her tears with the back of her hand and covered it up: "Why are you asking this? If you are not your parents' biological child, who else could it be?"
"Don't lie to me."
Su Mang closed her eyes, seeming to be very disappointed with her words: "Do you know that I almost died because of the wrong blood transfusion?"
These words frightened the two of them, and they quickly asked their daughter what was going on.
Su Mang choked up as she explained, "After being shot, I lost too much blood. The doctor gave me an emergency blood transfusion, but it resulted in an immune rejection reaction, which induced acute pulmonary edema..."
"I almost didn't see you..."
Su Mang was crying, and her tears were heartbreaking.
The couple, upon learning that their concealment had nearly cost their daughter her life, felt incredibly guilty. Mother Su tearfully slapped herself in the face, but Su Youmin tried to stop her, saying, "I told her I'd tell her when she's older..."
Su Mang anxiously asked, "So I'm really not your biological child?!"
Su's mother took a deep breath, wiped her tears and snot, and told the truth in a voice as calm as possible.
"We really picked you up."
"It was the winter of 192, in November—"
When Hena heard the time, her heart suddenly moved, but she remained calm on the surface.
"Your father and I were collecting crab traps from the river when we saw something white on the shore from a distance. At first we thought it was a dead piglet, but when we got closer we realized it was actually a baby!"
"You were soaked all over, your lips were purple, and your feet were cold, but as soon as I moved my hands, your little mouth would smother and beg for milk..."
"Your father and I took you to the hospital right away. Luckily, you were saved. That's when we learned that babies are born with the ability to swim..."
"After rescuing you, your father and I started asking for lost children. We searched many surrounding villages, but no one claimed you. Considering the circumstances at the time... we thought you might have been abandoned on purpose... so we raised you and reissued your birth certificate..."
Su Mang's eyes were hollow, and she looked deeply shocked. She murmured, "Am I... abandoned? They don't want me?"
"No, no! Tiantian, don't think like that! This is all just your parents' imagination! Maybe we were playing by the river with you and you got washed away without us noticing.
"Do you have anything that can prove it? Maybe I can help find it." Hena couldn't help but speak out.
G3977 was so remote that the possibility of the child being there was slim, but not impossible. Furthermore, the timing was perfect. Hena didn't want to miss this opportunity.
"Does clothing count as proof? I have a little bellyband that I've been keeping..."
After saying this, Su's mother left the camera.
He reappeared in less than half a minute with something in his hand.
She held up the two straps of her bellyband and showed it to the camera.
With a "bang", the chair fell to the ground. Hena stood up excitedly, looking very out of control.
She leaned in front of the screen, her eyes fixed on the small baby bellyband.
Behind him, Su Mang's mouth curled up, but was quickly suppressed.
