Promise You a Prosperous Life - C39
My head went dizzy. Although my mother’s condition had improved, it still hadn’t reached the standard for her to leave the hospital. If she lost this, would mother still remember the way back?
If my mother doesn’t remember, then something big is going to happen.
I paid my bill quickly, asked for a leave of absence from the head of the squad, then hurried out of the supermarket and hurried to the mental hospital.
As soon as I got to my mother’s room, I saw that the dean and the nurse were there.
The nurse introduced me nervously.
“Your mom woke up from lunch and ate an apple on the bed. I watched her take her medicine, and during that time, she even said that the nurse was going to work the night shift. It was really hard work, but when I came back to check in half an hour later, your mom was gone.”
I believed what the nurse said, because my mother praised the nurse in front of me more than once, saying how dedicated she was and how hard it was to be a nurse, so I didn’t blame her.
“Where did you all find them? Have you checked the video? Have you talked to your other sick friends? ”
The dean replied, “We searched all over the hospital but didn’t find anything. It was only after we watched the video that we realized that your mother came out from the back door of the hospital. There really was no other way to call you. “Now we have two options. First, you should recall what kind of abnormal behavior your mother had these days. Second, if there isn’t any, we can only choose to call the police.”
The dean’s words reminded me. I suddenly remembered that I hadn’t seen Gu Chengbei and Zhao Xiafang for such a long time. They were accompanying my mother everyday, but where did they go at such a crucial moment?
I quickly called them, but both of their phones seemed to have been turned off. I then called Gu Xiaomei, but they hung up the moment I picked up the phone.
At this moment, my mind replayed the morning’s “Chain Supermarket Late-Management Delegation Agreement” that I had torn apart. My heart sank, as I had a feeling that my mother’s disappearance was not an occasional occurrence, or perhaps a premeditated one.
Trembling, I said, “Call the police.”
The police quickly arrived. After getting to know the situation, they split up. One by one they asked the people who had been in contact with them about the matter. They wanted to find out the difference from each person’s subtle performance while the other went to a place a little further away from the mental hospital.
During this time, Yu Mo came with a tired face. He kept trying to comfort me, but I couldn’t hear him at all. My heart kept hanging in the air.
Three hours later, the search party sent back word that their mother had been found in a pond near a farmland, but that she had drowned long ago when the fish came out.
Yu Mo carried me to the side of the pond. Seeing my face swollen like a steamed bun, I didn’t even have time to cry before fainting on the ground.
When he woke up, his mother had already been taken to the funeral home. There was also news from the police station that there were no obvious signs of murder on the body and that his mother had not been poisoned.
After losing the liquid for three days and barely having some energy left, I went to the police station and told the police who were investigating my mother’s death about the “agreement to entrust the management of the supermarket chain”.
I said bluntly, suspecting that her mother’s death was related to Gu Cheng Bei and Zhao Xianfang.
The police station didn’t dare to be slow and immediately searched for Gu Cheng Bei and Zhao Xi Fang. Very quickly, the two people, Gu Cheng Bei and Zhao Xi Fang, who they hadn’t seen for a long time, were found by the police.
In all honesty, they had only learned about their mother’s death from the police. They had been travelling abroad for the past few days, but had only gone there after their mother’s persuasion. The reason they could not contact their mother was that their phones were out of battery and they were too lazy to charge.
In the end, they even shed a few tears.
Without conclusive evidence, the police released Gu Chengbei and Zhao Xianfang, but I didn’t believe their lies. My mother was dead and I couldn’t speak, but they wanted to say something?
No, definitely not. I must find evidence that they killed my mother.
I called a private investigator to follow Gu Cheng Bei and Zhao Qingfang, but I don’t know if these two people are in the limelight or are afraid of death, but the private investigator actually didn’t find anything suspicious about them.
I figured they wouldn’t show their tail for a while, so I let the private detectives go, but I was convinced that I’d catch them one day in the future.
Mom’s funeral was set to be a week later. I went back to our house to collect Mom’s things, and as my mother’s things were few and far between due to her long stay in the hospital, I thought about Mom’s suffering before she died, and my heart ached uncontrollably.
I started to tear up my mother’s things, and when I picked up the mink coat my mother had bought last year, a letter fell out of it, and I wondered.
A while ago, thinking it was getting colder and colder, and that I might be able to put on a mink coat one day, I went home and took it for a dry cleaning. There was nothing in it then, and my mother was in a mental hospital all this time, so where did this letter come from?
I picked it up, opened it, read it, and the tears blurred my eyes again.
The letter was written by my mother, and it was put there by my mother before she died.
Mom wrote: “Yan’Er, when you read this letter, Mom had already gone to see Dad. But Yan’Er, don’t be upset. Mom won’t have to suffer from brain tumors and mental illness anymore. It’s a relief.”
Yan’Er, your mother needs your forgiveness for one thing, and that is after you wake up you know that you have a brain tumor, so you feel that you don’t have much time left, so you pester Mo Yi to accompany you. Yan’Er, your mother needs your forgiveness for one thing, and that is after you wake up you feel that you have a brain tumor, and before you have much time, you have been pestering you and Mo Yi to accompany you.
Yan’Er, about the supermarket being auctioned, mom thinks for a moment, if the price is not good, you can still take over, after all, after the operation is completed, your life will be free of food and clothing, but you are a girl, you really need to rely on your uncle and aunt to make a public appearance, Mom believes that they will agree after they get enough points. “Yan’Er, you have to listen to mom on this point. As long as you can live a safe life, Mom will be more satisfied than anything else. This is also the reason why Mom offered to sign the” Entrusted Agreement for the Late Stage of Supermarket Administration “.”
“Yan’Er, this is all mother can do for you, please forgive mother for leaving without saying goodbye, because if you can’t help you then you will be implicated, your mother will feel uncomfortable every day, and your mother will not forgive herself, so, in the end, your mother chose to leave, but Yan’Er, all of this is your own mother’s choice, your uncle and aunt went on a trip under your mother’s persuasion, they don’t know what happened, you must not go looking for them without a reason.”
At the end of the letter, Mom wrote again.
“Goodbye, my dearest daughter. Mother will protect you in heaven.”
So my mother really did commit suicide. So my mother secretly did a lot of things to my future life. It also turned out that my mother left because she didn’t want to drag me down.
With tears streaming down my face, I tightly hugged the letter to my chest. Then I raised my head and used all my strength to shout, “Mom!”
