In the hospital, the little girl who had been nestled in Grandma Liu’s arms suddenly burst into loud cries, startling Grandma Liu.

What happened?

They then saw the child clutching her stomach and crying incessantly.

Shortly after, she began to vomit.

This terrified Gu Lingling and the others, but fortunately, she was already at the hospital, making it convenient to seek medical attention.

After being examined in pediatrics, it was determined to be food poisoning.

Uncertain of what had caused it, the child was left in pain and vomiting.

However, what is certain is that it doesn’t seem to be a fast-acting poison; otherwise, it wouldn’t have taken such a long time after eating to show effects.

Hence, the items that Gu Haojun brought back were exactly the food the child ate earlier, and naturally, since they were being examined, Gu Haojun requested that they check the pastries as well.

The examination revealed something significant.

The pastries had no drugs, but the hawthorn concentration was too high, explaining why it would cause contractions in postpartum women.

Additionally, the bowl of egg custard contained several things, causing the child’s stomach pain and vomiting after consuming it.

Fortunately, not much was eaten; otherwise, it wouldn’t have been just a matter of stomach pain followed by vomiting.

The child couldn’t speak and could only hold onto Gu Haojun’s neck in grievance, unwilling to interact with anyone else.

Pitifully, like a listless little kitten.

Today, she was scared terribly.

Gu Haojun’s face darkened upon hearing this.

"Second Uncle." Gu Haojun handed the child over to Grandma Liu, glanced at his unconscious wife in the hospital bed, and resolutely said, "Please come out; I need to discuss something with you."

On the rooftop, Gu Haojun smoked one cigarette after another, until Gu Chunhai couldn’t stand it any longer and snatched the cigarette from his hand.

"What do you want?" Gu Haojun asked.

This child always smoked whenever he faced significant issues.

Despite not being much of a smoker, he could smoke one after another, coughing with each puff.

"I want to sever the mother-son relationship." After a long pause, Gu Haojun finally said.

If he doesn’t sever the relationship, he wouldn’t be able to explain to Grandma Liu, nor face his wife’s awakening.

Must he tell her, well, you’ve just lost a womb, there’s no life-threatening danger, just let my mom go?

These words, he couldn’t utter.

He couldn’t imagine that his own mother would poison his wife, and even his daughter.

If Gu Lingling hadn’t happened to return, Liu Juanhao would have not only lost a womb, but her life as well.

But should he accuse Wang Meili?

Gu Haojun couldn’t bring himself to do such a thing.

Severing the mother-son relationship, that was the best solution he could think of.

"What else?" Gu Chunhai replied casually.

He knew if it was just about severing the mother-son relationship, Gu Haojun wouldn’t find it so hard to speak.

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Gu Haojun kneeling in front of him, "Second Uncle, can I ask you not to accuse her."

This would be the last thing he, as a son, could do for Wang Meili.

"Accuse?" Gu Chunhai shook his head, "Do I have evidence?"

No evidence.

Thinking of this made him blame himself greatly.

How could he have believed those words back then?

Gu Haojun was at a loss for words.

"I can promise not to accuse her," said Gu Chunhai, "but I can’t guarantee anything else."

Anyway, there’s no evidence.

But he certainly won’t just forget this grudge.

Gu Haojun knelt there, crying uncontrollably.

How did he end up with a mother like this?
