Chapter 701 It’s Better to Find Out
Wen Liang gently pushed open the door of the general ward, and the smell of disinfectant hit her in the face.
The driver, Lao Zhang, was half leaning on the hospital bed, his right leg in a cast and gauze wrapped around his forehead.
Seeing Wen Liang coming in, he struggled to get up.
"Miss Wen, I'm sorry..."
"Don't move." Wen Liang quickly stepped forward and held him down, "You should have a good rest."
Lao Zhang felt guilty: "It's all my fault. If I had reacted faster..."
"This is not your fault." Wen Liang sat down on the bed and handed over the fruit he had just bought. "The surveillance showed that the car ran a red light on purpose. The police have opened a case for investigation."
Lao Zhang: "That's good. How is Master Mason?"
Wen Liang: "Still in the ICU."
"Alas... I hope Master Mason can recover quickly and nothing will happen to him."
"The doctors will do their best to treat her. If you have any problem, tell the nurse or Secretary Chen. I'll go see Auntie."
"Okay, take care, Miss Wen."
After coming out of the driver's ward, Wen Liang went to see the nanny again, and finally went to see Mason outside the intensive care unit.
Mason hadn't woken up yet. Wen Liang signed at the nurse's station, changed into a blue protective suit, put on a mask and a hat, and pushed open the heavy isolation door.
Mason on the hospital bed looked paler than he had imagined, and his long eyelashes were almost transparent under the light.
Various instrument tubes were wrapped around his small body, and the ECG monitor was making regular beeping sounds.
Wen Liang gently held his hand, stroking the back of his hand with his thumb, and whispered, "Mason..."
She turned to look at the nurse, "When will he wake up?"
Nurse: "It's been five hours since the operation. It should be almost time. You can talk to him. There's a chance that you can wake him up sooner."
Wen Liang felt a little awkward talking alone, and remembering the storybook she used to read to Mason before bed, she found a fairy tale online and started reading it.
The nurse went about her business.
Ten minutes later, she noticed that Mason's long eyelashes trembled and the fingers of his right hand moved twice.
Wen Liang stopped the story and called softly, "Mason?"
Mason's eyelids fluttered slightly and slowly opened like the fluttering wings of a butterfly.
Those dark eyes looked at the ceiling confusedly at first, until they focused on Wen Liang's face.
"Mom...Mom..." His voice was so weak that it was almost inaudible, and his cracked lips trembled slightly.
Wen Liang smiled with relief, and immediately pressed the call bell, leaning over and saying, "Mason, I'm here. Don't be afraid, you are in the hospital now, and the driver who hit you has been arrested."
Nurses and doctors came quickly and began to check various indicators.
The attending doctor lifted Mason's eyelids to check his pupils and nodded with satisfaction: "The vital signs are stable and he is recovering well."
This examination took about ten minutes, and Wen Liang's accompanying time was up.
She told Mason, "Listen to the nurse and doctor, take good care of your injuries, and you'll be able to leave here in two days."
Coming out of the intensive care unit, Wen Liang changed out of his protective suit and walked forward thoughtfully.
"Wenliang?"
She acted as if she didn't hear it and continued walking forward.
"Wenliang?"
"......?" Wen Liang came back to his senses and saw Huo Junshan standing beside him.
The moment their eyes met, Wen Liang was stunned: "Chairman Huo, I'm sorry, I was just thinking too hard."
Huo Junshan nodded, "I heard that Mason had a car accident, so I came to see how he is now?"
"I just woke up. The doctor said I'm in good condition and will be out of danger soon."
"That's good." Huo Junshan's gaze stayed on her for a second: "Donglin is also in this hospital. He has an asthma attack. Do you want to go see him together?"
"No." Wen Liang smiled, "I still have work to do later."
"It's just downstairs. It won't take you much time."
Wen Liang still shook his head, "Sorry, Chairman Huo, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
She walked around Huo Junshan and moved forward.
Wen Liang continued to think as he walked.
She was skeptical at first about the fact that she gave birth to Mason in Philadelphia, but later with photographs as evidence and Mason being found, she slowly came to accept it.
As for why Mason was stranded, she thought of several possibilities.
The first one: After she gave birth to Mason, she had a car accident a few days later.
She lost her memory and was recuperating in the hospital. Young Mason was forgotten at home, and his crying disturbed neighbors or passers-by, who rescued him. Perhaps they were unable to contact her, so Mason ended up in the home of his adoptive parents. Or perhaps, the neighbors or passers-by saw that there was no one at home and had evil intentions, so they sold Mason.
The second possibility: She had a car accident at the end of her pregnancy and lost her memory after giving birth to the child.
The hospital discovered that Mason had a special blood type, and she had forgotten that she was pregnant, so she just went with the flow and kept the matter a secret.
After all, during the time she was in the hospital recovering from her injuries, no one ever told her that she had just given birth to a child.
Wen Liang has always been inclined to the second possibility.
After she woke up from the car accident, there was no contact information of Huo Dongcheng, Bella, Chen Jingyuan and others in her WeChat.
She always thought there was something fishy about the car accident.
Now that he knew about Mason's special blood type, Wen Liang became even more suspicious.
But because Mason returned to her, his abusive adoptive parents were sentenced to prison by the lawyer hired by Huo Dongcheng. In addition, Wen Liang had to deal with a series of things during that period, such as confinement, visiting Mason, and taking An An home. She did not think about verifying or getting to the bottom of the matter and planned to just let it go.
At that time, facing the long-awaited, premature and weak An An and Mason, who had been wandering for many years and she didn't know how to face him, she couldn't help but like An An more and was unwilling to spend too much energy on Mason.
Now, Wen Liang deeply reflects on herself and realizes that what she did was wrong.
Mason has been through so much hardship outside, she should be nicer to him.
For Mason's future safety, Wen Liang thought it would be better to get to the bottom of the matter.
She suddenly wanted to go to Philadelphia, right now.
Wen Liang stood in front of the window in the hospital corridor. The sunlight shone through the glass onto her shoulders, but it could not dispel the chill spreading in her heart.
She looked at the patients walking in the garden downstairs, and her thoughts calmed down a little.
Even if I go to Philadelphia, I have to wait until the business trip is over.
She could ask Huo Dongcheng first, for example, how he knew Mason's identity and took the lead in bringing Mason back.
On the way back to the hotel, Wen Liang sent a message to Huo Dongcheng, inviting him to dinner in the evening.
After getting his response, Wen Liang felt relieved and began to concentrate on connecting with the partners.
At six o'clock in the evening, Huo Dongcheng appeared on time downstairs of the warm and cool hotel.
Wen Liang went downstairs and got in the car. The driver took them to the restaurant they had booked.
Huo Dongcheng asked with a smile, "Didn't we just have dinner together this morning? Why did you suddenly think of treating me to a meal?"
"I have something I want to ask you about Mason."
Huo Dongcheng looked at her serious expression and said, "Okay, I will tell you everything I know."
