Chapter 37: Chapter 37 Liu Mingzhu Unusually Quiet @@novelbin@@
“How could you know all this?” Tao Bin was astounded.
Tao Shen looked toward Father Tao and Mother Tao, who were both equally puzzled, and forced a smile uglier than crying, “I learned all of this from my dreams. The dreams matched up with reality; can’t you trust me even a little?”
Tao Tiancheng and Liu Mingzhu exchanged glances. The normally volatile Liu Mingzhu was now eerily calm.
Her heart gradually filled with unease.
Her volatility and anger were just superficial. The deeper feeling was one of fear coming from within.
Before she had her daughter, she had given birth to two children.
...
No matter whether it was just after Tao Shen was born, or just after Tao Bin was born, when she woke up after childbirth and saw the child for the first time, that indescribable joy, that sense of resonance from the blood connection, was so intense.
Women are always more sensitive. After giving birth to her daughter, the first time she saw her, looking at that tiny infant, she couldn’t feel the same inexplicable joy or the resonance of sharing blood that she had felt the previous two times.
She had never spoken of this, fearing that her words would only invite ridicule, that they would say she was suspicious of everything, or suspect her of having postpartum depression.
Seeing that Liu Mingzhu didn’t fly into a rage but remained unexpectedly quiet, Tao Tiancheng frowning slightly, then turned to look at Tao Shen and said, “Since you believe so much in this dream, then let’s give it a try.”
Tao Shen’s eyes lit up, and just as he was about to speak, he heard Tao Tiancheng say preemptively, “Let me say this first, if the paternity test proves that Yinyin is your biological sister, don’t mention this dream again, and don’t say a word about it in front of Yinyin!”
Tao Shen thought of Tao Yinyin from his previous life, and a fire kindled in his heart.
He suspected that her death had something to do with that Tao Yinyin!
But he could never find any evidence!
Taking a deep breath, Tao Shen shook his head, “I can be sure that Tao Yinyin isn’t my biological sister. If the paternity test shows she is, I won’t believe it. I will just suspect there’s something wrong with the report!”
“You!” Tao Tiancheng hadn’t expected Tao Shen to be so stubborn.
Tao Tiancheng turned his gaze toward his wife Liu Mingzhu, who had been silent all along.
Hearing these words, had his wife calmed down because something was amiss?
Tao Tiancheng narrowed his eyes and, without pressing Tao Shen to make a promise now, simply said, “What you need to do now is to focus on recovering from your injuries. Don’t worry about anything else; your mother and I will look into it.”
Tao Bin moved closer to the hospital bed, making faces at Tao Shen.
Seeing his mischievous younger brother, Tao Shen’s nose tingled, and he hastily dropped his gaze.
In his previous life, his brother learned that his biological sister had been in a car accident, his mother fell into self-blame and got Alzheimer’s, and his father had a stroke and lay unconscious, so he wanted to finish his current assignment quickly to return home.
At a young age, he had become a child prodigy for the Ministry of Defense and later was given key training and rose to become a big shot at the Ministry of Defense.
Because his brother completed the assignment early to return home, the country didn’t have enough time to set up an operation to receive him, leading to complications, which resulted in his brother being assassinated by foreign spies.
Tao Shen closed his eyes for a moment, contemplating. As long as he could prove that Tao Yinyin wasn’t his biological sister, he could take Tao Ti back, and he would make sure to protect her from any harm.
Without the regrets and remorse of his past life, their mother wouldn’t fall into despair out of self-blame, their father wouldn’t have a stroke out of urgency, and his brother wouldn’t have to rush to complete his assignment, disrupting the country’s plans and defenses, nor would he have died at the hands of an assassin.
Everything was going to get better!
…
Tao Bin stayed in the hospital to take care of Tao Shen and the young disciple in the neighboring ward, while Tao Tiancheng, seeing that his wife’s expression was off, decided to take her away.
Back in the car, Tao Tiancheng told the driver to go ahead and drove himself.
In the car alone with Liu Mingzhu, Tao Tiancheng finally spoke up, “Have you noticed something amiss?”
Whether it was his wife’s excessively abnormal fury at the start or her excessive calmness later, it all suggested she had already realized that Tao Yinyin might not be her child.
What do you think?
