Son, Who Is the Baby's Mother?

After getting into the car, Lin Yi said to the driver, Old Wang, "Uncle Wang, take us to the Huangjia Maternity and Infant Center."

"Of course, young master."

Old Wang operated the gearshift, and the car headed toward the city center.

The little one soon fell asleep again in Lin Yi's arms. Afraid she might be ill, Lin Yi was a little worried.

"Mom, my daughter keeps sleeping. Could she be sick?"

"That's normal. When you were little, you slept even more than my own granddaughter!"

"As the little one gets older, she'll sleep less and less during the day."

"Oh." Lin Yi nodded, the worry that had been hanging over his heart finally easing.

Jiang Yuehua suddenly remembered when Lin Yi had just been born. She had been a first-time mother with little experience caring for a baby, and the internet hadn't been well developed back then, so she couldn't look anything up.

Because Lin Yi had slept so much as a baby, Jiang Yuehua and Lin Hongzhi had made a special trip to the hospital to have him examined.

When the doctor learned that they had come because their child slept so much, he had taken the time to explain it to them. That was why Jiang Yuehua remembered it so clearly.

Jiang Yuehua turned to look at Lin Yi holding the little one and suddenly reflected, I never imagined my son had grown so big. Time really flies!

Then she looked at the little one in his arms. With her long eyelashes and snow-white skin, she was soft, chubby, and utterly adorable.

Suddenly, Jiang Yuehua realized they had overlooked a major question. She asked Lin Yi, "Son, who is the baby's mother?"

"Huh?" Lin Yi had been caught up in the joy of having a daughter, and his mother's sudden question left him stunned.

That's right, who is the baby's mother?

Although Lin Yi often frequented bars and nightclubs, he had always kept himself pure.

After all, whether someone had a disease was a serious concern.

Calculating the time, Lin Yi thought back to what had happened eleven months ago.

He suddenly remembered a day when he had gotten drunk. When he woke up the next morning, he had found himself lying naked on a hotel king-size bed, with a spot of blood on the white sheets.

He had been a little puzzled at the time, and the image of a pretty girl had lingered in his mind. Thinking he had simply seen too many beautiful women, Lin Yi hadn't paid it any attention. Now that he thought about it, the girl had actually been real.

Could she be the baby's mother?

Lin Yi couldn't help wondering, Since she chose to give birth to the baby on her own, why has she brought her to me now?

He couldn't come up with an answer. It seemed he could only find the baby's mother and ask her to clear up his doubts.

Even so, Lin Yi was very grateful to her for giving birth to such a beautiful daughter.

Seeing that Lin Yi wasn't speaking, Jiang Yuehua called softly, "Son? Son? Say something. Who is the baby's mother?"

"Um... Mom, if I tell you, don't get mad."

Lin Yi gave Jiang Yuehua a warning first.

"Actually, I don't know who the baby's mother is," Lin Yi said awkwardly, his brow slightly furrowed. It sounded a little hard to believe, but that was the truth!

"What?" Jiang Yuehua cried out in shock, then hurriedly lowered her voice when she realized the baby was sleeping.

"What did you just say?" Thinking she must have misheard, Jiang Yuehua asked again in disbelief.

"I don't know who the baby's mother is."

Lin Yi said it with his lips pressed tight. Better a short pain than a long one.

If Lin Yi hadn't been holding the little one, Jiang Yuehua would surely have given him a good beating.

The girl had given birth to his child, yet he didn't even know who she was. Anyone in her position would probably be angry.

For a woman to carry a child alone for ten months was hard enough, let alone give birth. That was like taking a trip through the gates of hell.

Jiang Yuehua patted her chest to calm herself down. A moment later, she slowly spoke.

"You have to find the baby's mother, and you have to take responsibility for her."

"If you can't do that, I'll throw you out of the house."

Lin Yi could tell his mother wasn't joking, so he hurriedly agreed.

Jiang Yuehua, meanwhile, was quite happy. This way, she would have both a daughter-in-law and a granddaughter. It was the best of both worlds.

"Mom, don't worry. She gave birth to my child, so I'll definitely take responsibility to the end."

"I'll make sure to find you a daughter-in-law."

At her son's promise, his mother's deliberately gloomy expression finally gave way to a smile. To Lin Yi, though, there was something about that smile that suggested her scheme had succeeded.

Whatever the case, Lin Yi was serious. He would fulfill his responsibility to the baby's mother.

After driving for half an hour, they would reach the Huangjia Maternity and Infant Center once they passed the traffic light.

As they went through the intersection on a green light, a little girl of seven or eight suddenly dashed across the road.

A young woman waiting at the red light saw that the car was about to hit the little one. She grabbed the girl and pulled her to safety.

When Old Wang saw them, he hurriedly stepped on the brakes. The momentum sent Lin Yi and Jiang Yuehua crashing against the seats.

Fortunately, they hadn't been going fast, and neither of them was hurt. The little one in Lin Yi's arms was completely unaffected; she was sleeping soundly.

Jiang Yuehua hurriedly asked Old Wang what had just happened. Old Wang replied, "A little girl ran the red light just now. A young woman pulled her behind her to protect her. I hit the brakes in time, so nothing happened."

"Oh." Jiang Yuehua nodded. As long as nothing had happened, that was what mattered.

Seeing the car come to a stop, the young woman checked the little girl's arms and legs. Once she saw they were fine, she bowed to the car in apology.

Just then, the girl's mother hurried over from the other side of the road, scolding her, "You child, running around like that!"

"You scared Mommy to death. Quick, thank the nice lady." The girl's mother had seen the frightening scene from across the road and was very grateful to the woman.

The little girl had also been terrified by what had just happened. Her voice was thick with tears as she said, "Thank you, big sister."

"As long as you're all right, little sister. Don't run a red light again next time." The woman rubbed the little girl's head and spoke gently.

"I understand, big sister. I won't do it again."

With that, the little girl took her mother's hand and left.

Lin Yi and Jiang Yuehua had also seen what had just happened through the window.

After watching, Jiang Yuehua couldn't help remarking, "That woman has such a kind heart."

"Yeah, she's a good person."

Lin Yi nodded in agreement.

After they passed the traffic light, they arrived at the Huangjia Maternity and Infant Center.

Once the driver had parked the car, Lin Yi wrapped the little one in a blanket and gently shifted his body.

The little one really was sleeping deeply. It felt as though even thunder couldn't disturb her sweet dreams now.

After they entered the building, they found the reception center on the first floor. The entire building belonged to the Huangjia Maternity and Infant Center.

When the guests came in, a receptionist wearing a pink uniform and flat shoes walked over.

"Hello, welcome. How may I help you two?"

"I'd like to hire a professional baby nurse."

Lin Yi looked at the little one sleeping soundly in his arms and spoke gently.

"Certainly. Please follow me."

With that, the receptionist led them to the sofas.

"May I ask what you're looking for? We have regular and senior maternity and infant care specialists."

"What's the difference?"

Lin Yi asked. Since he was looking for someone to care for his daughter, he naturally had to ask for more details.
