Chapter 2 — After being divorced for half a year, the Respite Center calls me the baby's mother

The scream rang out, causing several nurses in the hallway to stop at once. I looked at the woman holding the baby. Chu Que Lan. My ex-mother-in-law. After half a year of not seeing her, she had another baby in diapers in her arms. She held the baby and held it straight towards me.

"Look! This is our Luc family's grandson!"

“You're out there pretending like nothing's going on, so the rest of our family has to take care of the children for you?”

I didn't even bother to look at that kid once. I looked straight at her.

“Chu Que Lan, Luc Canh Xuyen and I have been divorced for six months.”

“Now you hold a baby in front of me and call me its mother?”

She immediately raised her voice:

"What about divorce? This baby was born during your marriage!"

The surrounding area began to hear soft chatter.

"You're divorced so you don't accept the child?"

Trieu Man stood behind me, from beginning to end without interrupting a word. She's waiting for me to get upset. I took out my phone and opened the electronic divorce certificate.

“Look closely.”

“The date of divorce was six months ago.”

Next, I opened the medical examination report.

"Not pregnant. Never given birth."

I turned the screen towards Chu Que Lan.

“How long has it been since the baby was born in your arms?”

Chu Que Lan hugged the baby tighter.

“Just past the month.”

I nodded.

“Just past the month.”

“I got divorced six months ago.”

“So what kind of marriage do you say I got pregnant in?”

The surrounding sounds immediately faded. Chu Que Lan opened her mouth, then quickly changed her words: I looked at her.

“Five months premature?”

Her facial muscles visibly twitched. Trieu Man stepped up.

"Miss Lam, the elderly are just impatient. Should we go into the office to talk?"

I pushed her hand away.

"No need."

“I want to see the birth certificate.”

Chu Que Lan's face immediately changed.

“What right do you have to watch?”

I held up the bill.

“When you forced me to pay 280,000 yuan, I was qualified.”

“When you say the child is my child, I also have the right to do so.”

"Now I want to see the documents, but I'm not qualified?"

Trieu Man lowered his voice:

“Miss Lam, the baby is still young.”

I turned to look at her.

“Then don't write the child's name in my name.”

I raised my hand and lightly tapped on the room number plate 8808.

“The room is here.”

“The bill is in my name.”

“The baby's records are also in the system.”

“Manager Zhao, or you can bring all the documents here.”

“Or wait until the police arrive and give it to them.”

Trieu Man did not answer. At that moment, a young nurse rushed over. In her hand she still held a bottle of milk. As soon as she saw Chu Que Lan holding the baby standing outside the door, she reflexively spoke up:

"Mother Tong Yuan's family, room 8808, it's time to breastfeed the baby."

The entire hallway immediately fell silent. Chu Que Lan turned around and glared:

“What did you call it?!”

The nurse's face turned white. Trieu Man immediately grabbed the milk bottle.

“You go downstairs first.”

I raised my hand to stop the nurse.

“Who did you call just now?”

She didn't dare look at Trieu Man.

“I… I looked wrong.”

I pointed to room 8808.

“The name of the pregnant woman in this room is Tong Vien?”

Trieu Man immediately stood in front of the nurse.

“Miss Lam, please don't make things difficult for the staff.”

I raised my phone.

“Then I ask you.”

“Finally, the pregnant woman in room 8808 is Lam Tri Ha…”

“Or is it Tong Vien?”

No one answered. At that moment, a woman's voice rang out in the room:

“Mom, don't argue with me her too…”

Hearing that voice, my fingers stopped. The female assistant that Luc Canh Xuyen had with him before the divorce. That day, the moment I saw her arm in arm with him in the hotel elevator... was also the moment this marriage completely died. There has been nothing left to say between him and me for a long time. He often spends the night outside, all his time and energy devoted to others. Every time I return home, all that remains is cold and superficial. He only knew himself, and never cared whether I could endure it or not. That marriage exhausted me both physically and mentally. I didn't even have the strength to stand. In the end, I couldn't stand that cold and selfish torture anymore. The next day, I placed the divorce petition in front of him. But now... Tong Vien wears confinement clothes and lives in a room named after me.

“Miss Tri Ha…”

I looked at her.

“Don't call me sister.”

“I'm not used to the type of person who borrows someone else's name to give birth to a child.”

Tong Vien's face turned white.

“I… I didn't mean it.”

"Canh Xuyen said that in the divorce proceedings between the two of them there are still some unused benefits, borrowing them temporarily will not affect her..."

I slammed the 280,000 yuan bill on the door frame.

“In my room.”

“Use my receipt.”

“Use my name to create a maternity record.”

“What's the next step?”

“Do you want me to breastfeed your baby too?”
