Chapter 987 - I-I ran down your big auntie.
“Pei Ge… are you okay?” Chen Zhengchu asked worriedly when he saw her standing, motionless, by the bed.
It appeared that the woman either heard him speak or was enlightened as she returned to herself and smiled at him. Shaking her head slightly, she responded, “Nothing. It’s getting late; you should go back and rest.”
Noting that the woman was inviting him out, the man nodded and left while still worrying about her.
“…If you need anything, just call for me.”
He shot her a worried look.
“Yes, thank you.”
Once Pei Ge sent the man out of the ward, she closed the door and walked to her mother’s side.
“Big auntie? Why did you take a watch from her? They’re so poor—” So how would they have nice watches.
Pei Shishi stopped mid-speech and widened her eyes. Disbelief flashed across her face.
Seeing her mother’s hands bloody, surprise and happiness rose in her heart.
“Mom, this blood… whose is it?!”
She gulped and stared fervently at her mother.
“Good daughter, don’t worry; nobody will be able to hurt you. Nobody will make your life miserable.”
Her mother smiled and lifted her hands. With those bloodied hands, she lightly caressed her hair.
“Rest assured; Pei Ge won’t have any evidence to hurt you. You and your father won’t go to jail.”
Her mother’s words gave her a shock.
Although she did guess that her mother had done something, she did not expect it to be true.
“Mom, what on earth have you done? This blood, is it big auntie’s?!”
“That’s right. This blood is your big auntie’s… She bled a lot, a lot…”
At this moment, Liu Yan’s expression seemed to be odd.
Panic flashed across her eyes as she spoke about Zhang Manhua.
“Mom, what in the world have you done?”
An ominous feeling rose in Pei Shishi’s heart at the sight of her mother’s bloodied hands and upon hearing her words.
“I-I ran down your big auntie… and she bled a lot! It seems that she died!”
