Snake Tangled Three Dreams

Chapter 109

It was daytime, but all the lights in the living room were turned on. Zhao Mingyan's eyes were empty, and he said while recalling: "The beginning of the matter, we have to start from the day the child was picked up."

The black tea brewed by the butler was steaming in the cup. I held the saucer in one hand and the ears in the other, and sat beside Liu Wangzhi and listened quietly.

"About more than a month ago, the agency of the adoption channel contacted me suddenly, saying that they can jump in the queue for our list in advance, and don't have to wait for adoption news from other cities. There is a ready-made baby locally that meets our expectations, but there is only The first prerequisite is that the child must be brought home immediately before dawn."

"At that time, my wife and I were very happy. After the agency ensured that the child was 100% healthy, we agreed directly without even thinking about it."

Zhao Mingyan sighed, covered his forehead with both hands and kept shaking his head, "Ah...Thinking about it now, this decision is really too hasty."

"Then, what happened?" I was listening seriously, and saw that he was getting emotional before he got to the point, so I urged a little impatiently.

"Then..." Zhao Mingyan put down his hand covering his forehead, lowered his head and continued, "They said that the child's adoption channel will help with the process, and we just need to bring the child back. When I received the call at that time, it was already It's eight or nine o'clock in the evening, and if we want to pick up the child before the next day, we have to leave immediately."

"So we arrived at the agreed park according to the navigation, and found the baby in swaddling on an empty bench. At that time, we thought that the adoption handover through this channel meant that the three parties did not meet each other, so there was not much Guess, I went to pick up the baby."

"Who knew... the moment I picked up the child, a bolt of lightning struck from the sky. The thunder was so loud that it shocked both me and my wife." Zhao Mingyan raised his head suddenly, his eye sockets sunken, and his eyes seemed a little flustered , "I was afraid that the child would also be frightened, so I quickly lowered my head to look at him, but the child didn't even cry, but just quietly opened his eyes and kept looking at me like that."

I moved my hand while holding the teacup, and I vaguely heard something was wrong. After all, there is no baby in the world who is not afraid of being frightened. This child is so calm, it is weird like a clear stream.

Liu Wangzhi's eyes were calm, he looked at him and said calmly: "Continue."

Zhao Mingyan nodded, sat up straight and continued: "I was a little stunned at the time, and I was afraid that the child might have some kind of disease, otherwise I wouldn't even cry. But my wife said that I made a fuss because it happened that I was about to fall asleep outside. Yu, just urged me to take the child back."

"When I got home, it was pouring rain outside. As soon as I opened the door, the cold wind swished into the house, and the whole house was as cold as winter. At that time, there was a pet dog at home, and I just hugged the child. As soon as I stepped through the door, the dog rushed over and started barking at me."

"I was wondering at the time, this dog usually wags its tail and acts coquettishly, and basically never barked at us, why did it suddenly bark so fiercely that day, as if it was going crazy."

"It was thunder and rain outside. I was afraid that the dog would scare the child, so I asked the housekeeper to come over and put him in the cage first. But after I settled the child, I suddenly heard the nanny downstairs. scream."

"I asked my wife to stay with my son first, and went to see what happened by myself, but I went downstairs to have a look..." Zhao Mingyan suddenly stopped, swallowed silently, and his voice suddenly sank, "The dog is actually dead. "

"Huh? So suddenly?" I was taken aback, and quickly put the cup back on the table, "But for no reason, how did the dog die?"

"Who knows." Zhao Mingyan looked not in a good mood, "The nanny said the dog kept barking and wanted to let it out to feed him, but when he got to the cage, he saw the dog tilting his head and staring, already there It's dead."

I was speechless, saying that a dog's eyes can see things that people can't see. Coupled with the abnormal state of the dog after he entered the door, I wondered in my heart, could something follow them all the way from the park back here?
"Besides the dog, did the fish in your yard die like this?" Fei Jing's cold voice sounded, his eyes a little serious.

"That happened later..." Zhao Mingyan continued, "The son just came home that day, and we didn't have the time to investigate the dog matter. We focused all our energy on the child, and the whole family only revolved around him. "

"In the first few days, we were very happy, and we were very lucky to adopt a well-behaved and docile child. But gradually, I always felt that something was wrong." Zhao Mingyan said, his thick eyebrows twitched together, His complexion became more and more ugly, "This child is so obedient. He hasn't cried since the day he was brought back. It's so strangely obedient."

We were talking about things in the living room at this end, and the child was crying hard next door, and the crying was intermittent. I really don't know how he behaved.

Zhao Mingyan pretended not to have heard of it, and continued on his own: "I have always suspected that such a child has some defects, so the agency rushed to send the child out for adoption. I thought I would take it to the hospital for examination after I got a good household registration. Unexpectedly, before that day, something happened to my wife..."

"What's the matter with her?" Before Liu Wangzhi could speak, I frowned and preempted without paying attention.

I'm actually quite curious, Zhao Mingyan sat here and talked for a long time, and mentioned his wife many times, but we haven't seen the figure of the mistress since we entered the house, isn't it strange?

This time Zhao Mingyan remained silent, his nose was trembling constantly, his eyes with dark circles gradually turned red, after adjusting his emotions for a long time, he managed to force out a sentence: "She committed suicide."

"What?!" I was dumbfounded, never expecting this to be the result.

Both Liu Wangzhi and Fei Jing frowned slightly, waiting for Zhao Mingyan to continue.

"I didn't expect it at all... After all, it was all my negligence..."

Zhao Mingyan choked with sobs, lowered his head and buried his face in his palms, and slowly explained the reason: "Since the two of us picked up the child, it was basically my wife who took care of it. It was normal at first, but after a week, she started to take care of it. Nightmares every day."

"Sometimes she woke up suddenly in the middle of the night, grabbed my arm and talked nonsense, shouting 'she's coming, coming to snatch the baby', and then rushed to the baby's room without wearing shoes, holding my baby. The children hid in the closet together."

"I patiently asked her who was coming, but she kept shaking her head and didn't speak. I thought it was because she was too tired to take care of the child, and she was under a lot of mental stress, so she was a little nervous, so I asked the nanny to take care of the child so that she could have a good time. rest."

"I thought it would be fine in a few days, but not only did her condition not improve, her behavior became more and more crazy, holding a fruit knife in her hand all the time, and she would fight desperately with anyone who wanted to get close to the child .”

"Before I just thought she was insecure, but at this time, I realized that she was really abnormal." Zhao Mingyan wiped his wet eyes with his thumb, and began to choke and sigh, "I'm afraid she will hurt the child. , half-coaxed and half-coaxed the child from her arms, and then immediately contacted a psychiatric hospital to take her to receive specific treatment."

"How could she have strangled herself to death in the hospital after only going there for three days..."

"I strangled my own neck?" Liu Juanzhi didn't speak for a long time, and the cold and low voice rang out, which immediately pulled me back from the shock.

Zhao Mingyan took the handkerchief handed over by the butler, lowered his head and wiped away his tears, "Yes... She took advantage of the sedative//after the sedative was left unattended, strangled her own neck, and strangled herself to death It's..."

Liu Wangzhi looked normal, and asked again: "Before she committed suicide, did she act abnormally or say anything strange to you?"

"Yes..." Zhao Mingyan put his hands on his knees holding the handkerchief, raised his red and swollen eyes and looked at Liu Wangzhi, "On the day she committed suicide, she asked the nurse to inform me that she wanted me to see her."

"As soon as I entered the ward, I saw her standing by the window. I didn't know who she was talking to. When she saw me coming, she turned around and took my hand, and told me to protect my son. Don't let that person take my son away. Walk."

"At that time, her tone was very firm and her eyes were very sharp. I couldn't tell whether she was awake or crazy. But in order to appease her, I promised her that she would definitely take good care of my son and let her recuperate at ease. I She and her son are waiting for her to come home."

"She gave me a hug and asked me to go home to take care of my son. I didn't know that I hadn't left for a long time, but the hospital called me and told me that she had already left..."

Zhao Mingyan's voice trembled, his chest heaved violently, and he couldn't hold back before he finished speaking. As soon as he finished speaking, he turned his face away and kept wiping away his tears with his back to us.
