Chapter 1162: This woman gives him a feeling called Pei Ge.
“Miss Regina, regarding your act of saving our precious boy today, I... I don’t know how to thank you enough for it.”
As the older woman said this, Qu Jingwan added.
“Really thank you for today. If not for you, I’d be feeling so guilty. If not for me, our precious boy... wouldn’t have run into something like this.”
Her eyes then turned red as guilt appeared on her face.
Seeing her acting like this, Pei Ge, who was carrying the child, could not help but think of how Qu Jingwan was much better than Qiao Jingyun.
Whether she was pretending or not, she at least treated the child well... unlike that other woman who only seemed to be using her son.
Still, her biggest question was how this woman became Ji Ziming’s fiancée.
Was it not supposed to be Qiao Jingyun’s position?
Why... had that woman and this man not gotten married yet?
After all, they were in love, and they even had a child...
Even if the man’s parents did not like her, they could only accept her on the account of the child.
The more she thought about it, the more confused she got. A seed of doubt sprouted in her heart...
“Jingwan, what are you saying? How could you be blamed for this? If we were to blame someone, it would be that evil woman! If not for her, something like this wouldn’t happen to our precious boy.”
Initially feeling slightly discontented with Qu Jingwan, Madam Ji softened after she saw the guilt on the lady’s face.
Thinking that she too was a victim, she was less discontented with her.
“No, auntie; it’s really my fault. If I paid more attention to him, he wouldn’t be exposed to such a shocking situation...”
The tears in the lady’s eyes streamed down her face.
“Don’t blame yourself anymore. Sigh... How could you be blamed for this? The child has let you down. Today should’ve been your and my son’s engagement, but... this happened.”
As she spoke, the older woman patted the back of her hand consolingly.
As she sat by the side and listened to the pair’s conversation, Pei Ge scoffed to herself.
This Qu Jingwan was no simpleton, huh!
She seemingly backed off but managed to get away scot-free and even earned her future mother-in-law’s favor further.
She looked at the fragile and reproachful face before shifting her gaze onto the pitiful child in her arms.
Sigh... This child is so pitiful having to live with pretentious people all the time.
His mother was using him, and none of his future step mother’s feelings for him were sincere.
No wonder... such a small child would jump out of the window.
Raising her hand, she patted the little guy gently on his head and looked at him tenderly.
Her eyes seemed to be saying, ‘Little guy, you’ve been through a lot.’
“Mom...”
Seeing the tenderness on her face, the child’s eyes turned red again. His small hands gripped her clothes tightly.
“There, there. Mommy will be here by your side...”
She unwittingly answered the child who was the same age as her children.
Her heart ached unspeakably for everything that had happened to this little guy.
This child was the product of the two people she hated the most.
Even now, she still hated the two, but when faced with this child, she did not have any hate in her heart. She even... had an unexplained sense of familiarity and love for him.
“Mom...”
Watching as his son called a stranger ‘mom’ so naturally and how the woman responded equally naturally, Ji Ziming did not think that it was odd. Instead, for some reason, he felt that this was the way things should be.
Noticing his thoughts, he knitted his brows tightly together.
This woman gave him a really strange feeling.
The strangest of all was that he felt a sense of familiarity toward the woman despite it being their meeting.
A sense of familiarity called Pei Ge.
“Madam Ji, since the little master is fine, I’ll take my leave now.”
Seeing that there was nothing for him to do, the doctor picked up his medical kit and prepared to leave.
“Okay—”
Just as she was about to reply, her son interjected, “Doc, there’s another patient here.”
Ji Ziming, who had been staring at Pei Ge silently, told the doctor.
“Eh? Another patient?”
Startled and baffled, the doctor frowned.
“Where?”
Not just him, everyone else looked confusedly at the man.
“What other patient?”
“Yes. Did you get hurt somewhere?” Qu Jingwan, who was chatting with his mother, asked the man confusedly.
The man did not give her reply, though, and walked toward Pei Ge, who was sitting on the chair with his son, instead.
As she saw the man approach her, she blinked in confusion.
Before she could say anything, she saw him pick up the child from her arms and casually put him to the side. His actions were really casual, as if the child were not his son.
His attitude toward the woman was the opposite of that. He gently gripped her palm carefully and gently as if handling a fragile treasure.
