“Mommy!”
The crisp voice of the child stunned everyone.
Following which, Pei Ge was visibly affected.
Her downcast mood eased, and she quickly walked to Ji Chi.
However, as the saying went, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
This call was apparently not directed to her!
“Ping An, you finally remember mommy!”
Reaching his bedside fast, she stretched her hands out to hug her son whom she had just gotten back.
What she did not expect, though, was for the child to push her away.
“Go away, strange woman! You’re not my mommy!”
The little boy pushed her away and complained loudly.
This stunned everyone in the ward.
However, what was more unexpected and more baffling came next!
“…What are you saying?”
Being pushed aside by her son who called her a stranger was clearly a huge blow to the woman.
“What Ping An? I’m not him! You, strange woman, can you stop calling me that? It sounds so old-fashioned!”
The boy did not feel any guilt when facing the hurt woman. Rather, he did not even like her at all.
“Ji Chi! You can’t speak like that to your mother!”
Ji Ziming quickly strode over, gently hugging the woman while coldly rebuking the child.
“Daddy, how can you hug another woman?! Also, she’s not my mommy! Hmph!”
Seeing how his father was hugging Pei Ge and even scolding him, the boy felt even more wronged.
However, despite that, he still forced himself to feign nonchalance.
“W-What’s happening?”
Everyone in the room was flabbergasted and confused to witness this interaction between them.
It was only until the child called out ‘mommy’ again that everyone regained their senses.
“Mommy, look at how daddy is helping a strange woman to bully me!”
The child looked at one side and aggrievedly complained.
However, no one expected for this address to be directed at Qu Jingwan, who had just walked in!
This knowledge stunned everyone, and none of them could recover for a brief moment.
“Huh? B-Baby, what are you saying?”
The young lady was clearly shocked by him calling her ‘mommy’ as well, and she turned to look at him in disbelief.
“Mommy, you also don’t want me anymore…”
The child, who did not cry even when he was scolded by his father moments ago, started wailing when faced with the young lady’s distant look.
“Waaahh!”
This wailing instantly jolted Pei Ge out of her stupor.
A-Am I dreaming? My son is actually calling another woman ‘mommy’! This must be a dream!
