Feng's mother clung to Xu's father's leg, "Husband, you can't do this. What about Yekawa if you do this? Someone must have deliberately framed me. Let's do it again, okay?"
"Alright, let's go to another hospital and redo it. If the result is still the same, don't blame me for being ruthless."
"I know, husband. I dare to do it and I dare to take responsibility. This must be a misunderstanding. I've truly never done anything to betray you."
"Hmph, it better be."
After Feng's father finished speaking, he forcefully shook off Feng's mother's hand and left the ward with a bang.
"Mom, I'm scared."
"It's okay, don't be afraid. Mom will protect you."
After comforting Feng Yekawa, Feng's mother also plucked his hair. She had never done anything to betray her husband, and there was another possibility: perhaps Chuan wasn't their child.
She also needed to get a paternity test done, otherwise, she wouldn't be able to explain herself. She hoped that the previous test done by Old Feng was mistaken. If Chuan wasn't her child, then where was her child?
By the afternoon, they had the test results. Both of them opened the envelope with complicated feelings. Upon seeing the results, they were both greatly shocked.
Feng's father disbelievingly snatched the test report from Feng's mother's hand. After carefully reading it, he excitedly hugged Feng's mother.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. It was all my fault. I was too agitated yesterday and couldn't control my temper. I shouldn't have doubted you, wife. I'm so sorry."
Feng's mother's first reaction was to dodge. After she realized, her hand slowly moved to Feng's father's back.
Shui Wa: "The plot didn't mention any of this, host. What are you doing?"
Jun Jiu Li: "Doesn't the male lead believe that companionship trumps blood ties? Let him experience it firsthand."
"Husband, what about Yekawa then?" Feng's mother asked softly.
Feng's father took out a handkerchief to wipe away Feng's mother's tears. In his moment of great excitement, her eyes had welled up unintentionally.
They had been married for over a decade. While his love for Feng's mother wasn't one of unwavering devotion until death, they had been together for so many years. If Feng's mother had truly betrayed him, he couldn't imagine what he would have done.
"Don't worry, we've raised him for so many years, we won't abandon him. However, we still need to find our biological son first."
"How did it become like this all of a sudden? Is my son suffering somewhere?"
"Don't cry. Let's go to the police station first to register our DNA. Then, fill out all the relevant information about the hospital where you gave birth. May heaven bless us, and I hope we can find our son soon."
"Okay."
The couple experienced a great emotional rollercoaster in the afternoon and spent a lot of time at the police station. They completely forgot about Feng Yekawa waiting in the ward. By the time they remembered, it was already eight in the evening.
Feng Yekawa was extremely anxious and kept overthinking. His parents hadn't returned for so long. Was he really not his father's child? Had they started fighting?
What would happen to him then? If his father abandoned them, how would his mother support him? His stomach was rumbling, and he felt terrible from not eating since noon.
Feng's mother entered the ward with a lunchbox and looked at Feng Yekawa's haggard face. For a moment, she didn't know whether to tell him the truth. Would it be too much of a blow to the child?
"Mom, you're finally here. Where's Dad? Why didn't he come? Is it..." He looked at Feng's mother with a scrutinizing gaze.
"No," Feng's mother immediately interrupted him.
Feng Yekawa's anxious heart finally relaxed, and a smile appeared on his face.
"That's good, that's good. Mom, I'm hungry. What delicious food did you bring me?"
Feng's mother set up the small table, took out the dishes one by one, and thoughtfully opened all the lids.
Looking at Feng Yekawa's satisfied smile, Feng's mother couldn't help but wonder what her biological son was doing now, how tall he had grown, what he looked like, whether he was eating well, and if he was warm enough.
For a moment, she even felt Feng Yekawa was an eyesore. "Is it delicious?"
"It's delicious, thank you, Mom."
"I have something to tell you."
"Okay, tell me."
"You're actually not my and your father's child. We were switched at the hospital back then."
Feng Yekawa froze, his chopsticks silently dropping onto the quilt.
"Impossible, Mom, you're joking. This isn't funny at all."
"I'm not lying to you. The test results came out this afternoon. If you don't believe me, you can look for yourself."
Feng Yekawa flipped through the two reports back and forth, his emotions shifting from frantic anger to silent acceptance.
He said in a hoarse voice, "Dad didn't come to see me because I'm not his son, right?"
His eyes were fixed on Feng's mother, trying to probe for answers, wanting to know how much place he still held in their hearts. The feeling of being abandoned was deeply lodged in his heart, causing him great distress.
"No, don't misunderstand. Your dad just doesn't know how to face you."
"Then what are you going to do? Are you going to send me away?" he asked, his eyes filled with tears, his face pale as he looked at Feng's mother.
"Alright, don't overthink it. How could we possibly send you away? We've lived together for so many years. You are also my son, and when your brother is found, we will treat you equally."
Feng Yekawa cried and threw himself into Feng's mother's arms. Feng's mother carefully hugged him and patted his back to comfort him. She didn't see the resentful look in Feng Yekawa's eyes.
These two people were truly too biased. Nine years of companionship still couldn't compare to their biological ties. He was already called a brother before being found. If he were found, would they still have him in their eyes?
Feng Yekawa thought maliciously, wishing he would never be found, or even better, die somewhere outside. He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. Now he had neither a father nor a mother.
Neither of them would truly care for him. Now that he was paralyzed, he had to fawn over them to find the best doctors for him. Otherwise, his life would be ruined.
"Mom, you should go back quickly. Don't keep Dad waiting. I'll take good care of myself. From now on, you'll be busy looking for my brother, so don't forget to take care of yourselves."
"I know. You don't need to worry about us. Your recovery is the most important thing."
Feng Yekawa lowered his head, a look of loneliness on his face. "I'm just a useless person. What's the point of recovering? I'll only be a burden to you in the future."
"Yekawa, don't belittle yourself. With future advancements in technology, there will surely be ways to cure you. Your father is already contacting experts abroad in this field. Rest assured, wait for the news. We will do our best to treat you."
"That's truly wonderful. Meeting you and Dad is the greatest fortune of my life, Mom."
"Silly child, it's also fate that brought us together as a family. I believe we'll be reunited soon."
"Yes, when that time comes, I'll introduce all my friends to my brother and take him to the amusement park, and go to school with him."
Feng's mother stroked his head. "Our Yekawa is so sensible. You don't need to worry about these things. Your parents will arrange everything."
These words only intensified the jealousy in Feng Yekawa's heart. They were the real family, and he was always just an outsider.
"Alright, you get some rest. Your dad must be waiting impatiently in the parking lot. Mom has to go. Goodbye."
"Okay, goodbye, Mom."
