Chapter 684
Ye Junqing ignored him, still happily busying himself. He had somehow acquired a bouquet of roses, which he placed on the outside windowsill, hoping that Xiaoyuwei would be able to see the roses and snowman in the snow-covered world outside the window when she woke up.
However, even though Ye Junqing didn’t utter a word, Xiao Yun already understood.
In this forest hotel, there was a hunched elderly lady beginning her day early, bustling about. She served a cup of hot tea to Xiao Yun. After he took it and thanked her, the old woman pointed to her ears, grinned, chuckled twice, and then left.
A female hotel attendant told Xiao Yun, “This grandma is hard of hearing, but her heart is very kind. She often prepares delicious food to give to our guests for free. She constantly mutters about having committed wrongs when she was young, and now she must do good deeds to assuage her conscience.”
“Really?” Xiao Yun casually chatted while drinking his hot water. “What bad things has she done?”
The female attendant, charmed by Xiao Yun’s handsome and tall stature, wanted to chat more with him, “I’m not entirely sure, but from what she said, it seems she swapped a healthy male infant from one family with a sick female infant from another. However, it’s hard to tell whether she’s senile and making things up. She lives in the cabin next to the hotel, her children all work out of town, and she lives alone. She is somewhat senile and can’t remember a lot of things, except for the wrong she did in her youth.”noveldrama
Xiao Yun smiled and didn’t pay much attention. He asked the female attendant where the restaurant was so that he could have breakfast.
Guided by the female attendant, Xiao Yun headed to the restaurant. There were precisely two baby strollers in the restaurant, and in those strollers were two sleeping infants. Looking at the decorations on the strollers, one could tell that they were a boy and a girl.
At that moment, Xiao Yun saw the elderly woman move one of the babies from one stroller to the other, and started to lift the other baby to place in the first stroller.
“Hey, what are you doing?” A young couple noticed a stranger holding their child and were scared. They rushed over.
The husband of the couple tried to snatch his baby back from the elderly woman, but she held on tightly to the infant and wouldn’t give it back, which angered the young man. He glared at the hunched old woman, “Give me back my child!”
The old woman couldn’t hear, but she kept mumbling, “It’s wrong, it’s wrong.”
The young woman was already screaming in fear. “What are you trying to do? Give us back our child.”
“It’s wrong, it’s wrong,” the elderly lady insisted, determined to put the child in the other stroller.
“Security! Security! Someone’s trying to steal our child!” The young woman didn’t understand what the old lady was saying was wrong. She was terrified that a strange old woman was holding her child and kept urging her husband. “Quickly snatch the child back, snatch it back.”
Xiao Yun quickly walked over, signaling to the young couple not to get agitated, allowing the old lady to put the baby in the stroller.
The young couple weren’t able to calm down, as they felt their hearts leap into their throats. Both babies in the strollers were their children. Twins, a boy, and a girl. They were their most precious treasures. Strangers weren’t even allowed to touch them.
Thankfully, the old lady didn’t walk away with the baby. Instead, she placed the little infant in the other stroller. As she looked at the two infants, her wrinkled face suddenly showed a relieved expression.
On seeing this, the young couple quickly pushed their strollers away, as if they had barely survived a catastrophe, their hearts still palpating in fright.
