Mu Chen finally stopped speaking.
Cheng Che looked at Mu Chen. “It’s… The changes are really so drastic?”
Mu Chen nodded as he leaned back against the chair and crossed his arms. His voice was grim as he said, “Yes. Every day, every moment, every second, the feeling like something is wrong grows stronger and stronger. There’s a voice in my heart telling me that the person at home isn’t Song Ning no matter how much she looks like Song Ning. Cheng Che, I’m certain that she isn’t Song Ning…My Song Ning isn’t like this!”
Mu Chen rested his head against his hand with a barely concealable sorrowful expression on his face. He shifted his eyes back to the computer and screen and asked slowly, “Brother, you think the switch was carried out during the time the hospital caught fire?”
Cheng Che knew Mu Chen was truly sad. Apart from the time Mu Chen’s mother died, he had never seen Mu Chen so sad before.
Mu Chen dropped his hand, and his gaze turned cold as he said, “I’ve thought about it many times. Apart from that time in the delivery room, that was the only time I let Song Ning out of my sight.”
Cheng Che’s heart skipped a beat. He looked at Mu Chen and asked in a soft voice, “Brother, the person who accompanied sister-in-law from the beginning until the end in the delivery room was Jiahui…”
Mu Chen nodded. “I know. Don’t you think that it’s too much of a coincidence that Jiahui had to leave at such a critical time? Moreover, before she left, she repeatedly told me that there’d be changes in a woman’s mood after giving birth due to hormone imbalance…”
Cheng Che felt a chill on his back as he said in a trembling voice, “B-brother, both of them are best friends… Jiahui has no reason to help another person impersonate sister-in-law…”
No matter what, Cheng Che refused to believe that Jiahui had a hand in this matter.
Mu Chen nodded again. “That’s right. Although it’s somewhat suspicious, Jiahui has no motive at all to do such a thing. Moreover, she’s more protective of Song Ning than anyone else.”
Cheng Che nodded, feeling more relieved upon hearing these words.
Mu Chen wiped his face, looking exhausted. “When Song Ning emerged from the delivery room, Jiahui was called away. At that time, I followed Song Ning back to the ward. All of you were looking after the baby, and I was chatting with Song Ning in the ward. I remember every word she had said at that time. I thought about the things she said, word by word, there’s nothing wrong with them. At that time, she was still Song Ning. After that, a doctor came in to give her an IV drip and medicine, causing her to fall asleep. After she fell asleep, I left to buy some things that the doctor said I might need. Since all of you were taking care of the child, I decided to buy them myself.”
The events of that day were still vivid in Mu Chen’s mind.
Cheng Che recalled what had happened and said, “At that time, I was called away by one of the medical staff to sign some paperwork. When I heard about the fire, I rushed back and saw Grandma, Sister Yu, Mr. Mu Qing, and Liang Zhou. I carried Grandma on my back while Sister Yu supported her by the side. Liang Zhou carried the baby while Mr. Mu Qing protected her and the baby. At that time, the smoke had already thickened, and the fire had already begun to surge. I’m sorry, Brother, all I could think about at that time was Grandma’s safety.”
Cheng Che was filled with self-blame and guilt.
Mu Chen shook his head gently. “Don’t be silly. If it weren’t for you, who knew what would’ve happened to Grandma? You know that for the following days after that, I had nightmares about what would have happened if Grandma didn’t make it out of the fire. This has nothing to do with you…”
Cheng Che’s eyes grew slightly wet as he said, “When you returned, and I saw you rushing into the sea of fire, I really wanted to die at that moment. If I had maintained my composure, I could have organized everything properly. Mr.. Mu Qing could have carried Grandma while Sister Yu and Liang Zhou could have protected the baby and I could have carried sister-in-law out. Wouldn’t everything be fine then? As I stood outside waiting for you, I felt really apologetic and hated myself for my incompetence!”
