Chapter 423: Chapter 422: "So, You Mean Your Mother Might Not Have Died Back Then?!

Sheng Xinhao said this because he was too surprised.

You know, a long time ago, he did say they should bring the children back to the old house when they had time.

In the end, the children did come, but the couple never came even once.

Although Sheng Xinhao was disappointed, he also knew that all the fault was on him.

So he didn’t dare say much.

Now, they suddenly came.

This made Sheng Xinhao very surprised.

But it was night, and he was afraid they came so late because there was something urgent.

Based on his understanding of Ze Xi, that would be the case.

That’s why he subconsciously asked that earlier.

Upon hearing this, Sheng Zexi didn’t say anything else.

Instead, he pulled Gu Jia Ning to sit down.

Meanwhile, Sheng Xinhao brewed tea for them.

Sheng Zexi ignored his busyness and immediately noticed the photo album on the sofa. He saw the reflection of three people in the album.

Sheng Zexi pursed his lips tighter.

He also tightened his grip slightly on Gu Jia Ning’s hand.

So, he was thinking about his mother, wasn’t he?

Gu Jia Ning took the album and flipped through it carefully.

On the side, Sheng Zexi was also looking at it.

He had flipped through this album countless times since his mother’s death.

Back then, when he was about to join the army, he thought about taking this album with him.

But as the album also had pictures of the old man he disliked, in the end, Sheng Zexi only took a photo of himself with his mother.

And the album had always been kept.

Earlier, he thought the old man, who had remarried, might have lost or stored away the album.

Later, hearing from Xingxing and Yueyue that the album was always there,

Sheng Zexi wondered what the old man was thinking.

Remarried within just a year, why keep this album?

As Sheng Zexi thought idly, he drank his tea.

The living room fell into a brief silence.

Feeling a bit awkward, Gu Jia Ning looked at Sheng Zexi and tugged at his hand.

Only then did Sheng Zexi return to his senses. He looked at the old man watching him and said, "There is indeed something for us to come tonight."

Sheng Xinhao: He knew it. He understood this son’s character well.

With things this way between them, this kid certainly wouldn’t come for nothing. He wouldn’t come just to see his dad.

However, Sheng Xinhao also knew it wasn’t Sheng Zexi’s fault.

"What’s the matter, ask away."

Sheng Zexi pondered for a moment, then said, "I want to ask about the whole process when my mom passed away back then. Did you watch her take her last breath and see her cremated?"

Sheng Xinhao was stunned, not expecting Sheng Zexi to come at night to ask about Sang Yuwan.

Though puzzled, Sheng Xinhao couldn’t help but recall.

"That year, I was at the frontier with the garrison, and I didn’t agree with your mom going there."

"But she insisted on going."

"First, because I would be gone for a long time, and she wanted to be with me; second, she was a journalist and wanted to report on the war zone, so she was determined to follow."

In the end, with no choice, Sang Yuwan went to the frontier with him.

"... I didn’t expect an outbreak of an epidemic nor that she would get infected after going for an interview."

"I sought many doctors, but they were all helpless."

"Even when I found doctors specializing in infectious diseases from Country A, it was to no avail."

"By then, A wan had been sick for seven days, often with high fever, confused."

"She was very ill, unable even to get out of bed."

"On the eighth day, Dr. Henry from Country A said A wan wasn’t going to make it and told me to say farewell."

"Wait!"

As Sheng Xinhao was immersed in retelling the past, suddenly, Sheng Zexi interrupted him.

"You said, the doctor from Country A you called for my mom was named Henry?"

Sheng Xinhao nodded, "Yes, his name was Henry."

Sheng Zexi pursed his lips. He was half sure now his mother was still alive.

His hand tightened slightly, growing excited.

Although Sheng Xinhao didn’t know why Sheng Zexi asked like this, he continued, "On the ninth day, indeed, A wan couldn’t hold out."

"Before closing her eyes, she kept calling your name."

Sheng Xinhao looked toward Sheng Zexi.

Sheng Zexi pursed his lips, imagining the scene, gripping his hand tighter.

"I watched A wan take her last breath with my own eyes," Sheng Xinhao concluded.

Sheng Zexi’s brows furrowed almost instantly.

But Gu Jia Ning didn’t find it odd.

After all, in some situations or under the influence of drugs, a person might enter a state resembling death.

"I wanted to bring A wan’s remains back to the Country for burial, but because she died from an infectious disease, she had to be cremated."

"There were too many died from the epidemic at that time."

"Cremation was conducted uniformly."

"But there were separate arrangements, I watched A wan be pushed toward the crematorium. I waited outside, then was called in to collect her ashes."

At that time, Sheng Xinhao and Sang Yuwan loved each other deeply.

So when Sheng Xinhao held Sang Yuwan’s ashes, his heartache was indescribable.

Sheng Zexi caught a crucial point, "So you didn’t personally see my mom being pushed in to be burned, did you?"

Sheng Xinhao frowned, but still nodded, "Yes."

"Then did you ever think that it might not have been my mom?" Sheng Zexi questioned.

Sheng Xinhao sprang up, instinctively rebutting, "How is that possible!"

"Why not!" Sheng Zexi looked at him coolly.

"Today, Ningning took the kids to the airport to see off my brother-in-law for studying abroad. Do you know whom Xingxing met at the airport?"

Sheng Xinhao didn’t understand why Sheng Zexi suddenly brought up something else.

Seeing Sheng Xinhao’s bewilderment, Sheng Zexi continued, "When Xingxing went to the restroom and was coming out, someone bumped into him."

"It was a woman, and the moment Xingxing saw her, he called her grandma!"

Grandma?!

Sheng Xinhao was stunned. The only one Xingxing would call grandma would be...

But how could that be!

"Later, a foreign man came and took the woman away, and that woman Xingxing called grandma claimed her name was A wang."

"And that foreign man was named Henry!"

"You just said the doctor from Country A who treated my mom was also named Henry."

"Do you think they might be the same person?"

Sheng Xinhao stood there, his eyes full of shock.

Almost instantly, he grasped Sheng Zexi’s implication.

Realizing his meaning, Sheng Xinhao’s hands immediately began to tremble.

Was it what he thought?

Could it be?

If it were true, then...

"So, you mean that maybe your mom didn’t die that year?!"
