Chapter 11 — Half a Life Lost, Half a Life in Peace

Tell us clearly about the baby swap incident in the past. He agreed to do a paternity test. But from beginning to end, no more questions were asked. When taking blood for testing. He looked at the tip of the needle. His face was strangely calm. The opposite is me. My hands trembled non-stop. Date of results. Tham Nghien sat opposite me. Attorney Chu Hanh, the person I recently hired, pushed the report towards him.

"Judging by medical results."

"There is a biological mother-son relationship between you and Ms. To."

Tham Nghien looked at the report for a long time. Then smiled softly. A very slight smile.

"It's just like the movies."

My eyes sting. He raised his head.

"Why do you have to apologize?"

My voice choked.

"Because I didn't find you sooner."

He was silent. A long time later he said:

"My mother..."

"I mean foster mother."

"Treat you very well."

I nodded.

"I know."

It is clearly stated in the investigation documents. Tham Nguyet's life is extremely difficult. She used to work as a cleaner. Wash dishes for rent. Raised Tham Nghien alone. Before she passed away... She also left him a letter. In the letter it was written:

"I'm not your biological child."

"But I really love you."

After reading that letter, I sat in the car and cried until I couldn't make a sound. What is the most ironic thing in this world? Is my biological child... Being loved by a strange woman with all his heart. Instead of someone else raising an ungrateful child. Tham Nghien looked at me and asked:

"You want me back?"

I shook my head. He was a bit surprised. I seriously say:

"I don't owe you mom."

"There's no need to recognize your mother immediately."

"I just want to tell you the truth."

Tham Nghien looked at me for a long time. Then ask:

"So what do you want?"

I replied softly:

"If you agree..."

"In the future, I can support you to continue going to school."

He smiled faintly.

"Compensation?"

I don't deny it.

"Part of it is."

"The rest..."

"As a mother, I hope you have the right to choose your life."

Tham Nghien lowered his head to look at the report. After a while, he spoke up.

"Let me think more."

I nodded. When walking out of the lawyer's office. I saw Co Minh Vien waiting outside. Apparently he also knew of Tham Nghien's existence.

"Can we talk?"

I didn't even bother looking at him.

"The lawyer is still inside."

"You can go in and talk to him."

Co Minh Vien quickly blocked my way.

"Co Niem is very bad right now."

I stopped walking.

"After all, I raised him for thirteen years."

"Even though I'm not my biological child..."

Hearing that, I looked straight at him.

"You want me to continue to take responsibility?"

His expression became confused.

"I didn't mean that."

I calmly interrupted.

"Co Minh Vien."

"Even now, you still want me to clean up the mess for you."

His voice softened.

"But Co Niem has called me mother for thirteen years."

My heart ached slightly. But in the end I still ask:

"What about my biological child?"

"It's been changed for thirteen years."

"Who is responsible for it?"

Co Minh Vien couldn't say a word. I pushed past him and left. Behind him came his hoarse voice.

"You are also a victim."

I stopped walking. But don't turn back.

"You're not."

"In the entire chain of people who caused this..."

"You are the most comfortable person."

The Co family was in complete chaos. After When questioned by Co Minh Vien, her mother-in-law fell ill and was bedridden. Co Minh Xuyen learned that Co Niem was not my biological son. His first reaction was joy. It's even ironic within the relative group. 【It turns out my sister-in-law raised someone else's child for thirteen years.】 【It's fair now.】 Trieu Lam immediately scolded him. 【Your mother swapped someone else's child, can you still find it funny?】 【Your Co family is truly rotten from the core.】 Co Minh Xuyen immediately shut up. But very fast. He thought of something else. Mother-in-law's savings. He immediately ran to question her.

"How much money did I promise to leave for you?"

Mother-in-law lies in hospital bed. Gray face.

"There's not much left."

"How much is left?"

"About a hundred thousand yuan."

Co Minh Xuyen's face immediately changed.

"Didn't mom say there were more than two million yuan?"

Listen here. My steps stopped outside the door. Previous life. After her mother-in-law passed away, that amount of 2,800,000 yuan really existed. But that's the money of the future. This is the amount of money for the next ten years that I will entrust to you to keep. This time I won't give it anymore. So she basically has no money. Co Minh Xuyen completely collapsed.

"Mom cheated on me?"

Mother-in-law cried:

"There will be later."

"I promise I will have it later."

Co Minh Xuyen got mad.

"Where will I get it later?"

Instinctively, my mother-in-law turned to look at me. I laughed.

"Mom, why are you looking at me?"

At that time, Co Minh Xuyen also understood. The money that his mother-in-law always promised to leave for him... was not originally hers. It's the money you intend to continue to suck from my blood. Co Minh Xuyen's face was extremely ugly.

"So the money you promised me to buy the house..."

"Just a cake?"

Mother-in-law is frantic.
