Transmigrating to the 80s to Become Stepmom to Five Bigwigs-Chapter 455 - We're Clearly Married

Just as Shao Dong felt that something was amiss, he heard Mu Jingzhe ask, "How did my hands get injured? Why are they so badly injured…"

As she spoke, she suddenly remembered. "Oh right, there was an earthquake. My memory is getting worse. No wonder it hurts so much."

She was still wondering why Ji Buwang's hand had hurt so soon after she had hugged him and had forgotten what had happened previously.

When they heard Mu Jingzhe mention what had happened previously, Li Zhaodi, Shao Xi, and the rest froze. On the other hand, Mu Jingzhe looked at them and then looked around. "Where's Ji Buwang? Why isn't he here since I've been hospitalized? Or is he out buying something? What a coincidence, I'm hungry too."

When they heard Mu Jingzhe mention Ji Buwang, they all tensed up. By looking at Mu Jingzhe's expression, even the slowest person could sense her abnormality.

They looked at Mu Jingzhe, not knowing how to answer. Seeing that they weren't speaking, Mu Jingzhe frowned. "Why aren't you guys talking? Where's Ji Buwang?"

Shao Dong didn't answer. Mu Jingzhe looked at Shao Xi, who clenched his fists under her gaze. "Mommy, Uncle Ji… He… He…"

"What Uncle Ji? Didn't you change your form of address to 'Papa' previously? Why are you calling him 'Uncle Ji' again?" Mu Jingzhe looked at her hands. "If my hands weren't injured, I'd have taught you a lesson. Since you already accepted the red packet, you can't go back on your word." She knew that Shao Xi was very mischievous.

Upon hearing Mu Jingzhe's words, Shao Xi was completely stunned. "When did I change my form of address…"

"Mommy, what do you want to eat? I'll go buy it for you." Shao Dong suddenly interrupted Shao Xi, attracting Mu Jingzhe's attention.

"Alright, go buy it. We won't wait for him."

Xiao Wu and Little Bei stayed behind. After Shao Dong went out, Li Zhaodi and the rest also came out.

"Little Dong, what's wrong with your mommy? Why do I feel so strange? Why did she suddenly say that you kids changed the way you addressed him?"

"I don't know either. Mommy's condition doesn't seem right. I have to find a doctor to find out more."

When the doctor heard what was happening, he wanted to go back for a follow-up, but he was stopped by Shao Dong. "Wait, doctor. Can you not ask Mommy any questions for now? I want to let her eat something first. Can you tell us why Mommy is in such a condition?"

"The details will depend on the patient. However, it's possible that she experienced a huge stimulation or encountered an accident, causing her cognition to be impaired. She took the initiative to change her memories or mistake dreams and fantasies for reality."

Shao Dong's heart ached when he heard that. "What should we do in that case?"

"We'll have to find out the details before we can know what to do. We have to go and check on her as soon as possible."

"I understand, Doctor. I'll invite you over after my mother eats something." Shao Dong knew that Mu Jingzhe hadn't eaten in a long time, so he decided to let her eat something first.

"Alright, let's go take a look later."

Because Mu Jingzhe hadn't eaten properly in a while, Shao Dong chose to buy her porridge. It was inconvenient for Mu Jingzhe to eat with both hands, so Shao Dong and the others personally fed her.

Mu Jingzhe looked at her bandaged hands and laughed. "Although my hands are in this state, I feel very happy with you kids feeding me."

After Mu Jingzhe finished the porridge, she was in a good mood, as she ate the fruits that Little Bei had washed and cut for her. After eating, she also looked less sickly.

Shao Dong was about to look for the doctor when he heard Mu Jingzhe ask, "Why isn't Ji Buwang back yet? Little Dong, why don't you go home and check on your papa? Just in case something happened."

"Mommy…" Shao Dong didn't know how to answer. Mu Jingzhe looked at him with a strange expression. "Little Dong, why are you looking at me like this? Did something happen?"

"Mommy, you said that we had changed the way we addressed him…"

"That was before. Have you forgotten? After Ji Buwang and I got married, you kids obediently changed your form of address the same day. Ji Buwang even gave you kids quite a few gifts."

Mu Jingzhe looked at them. "Little Dong, why are you all acting so strange today? Did something happen?"

Shao Dong's heart sank. Married… Mommy had actually said that she and Uncle Ji had gotten married, but that was impossible. This hadn't happened at all.

Seeing Mu Jingzhe behave like this, Li Zhaodi felt increasingly afraid and had to hold herself back to avoid losing control. She looked at Shao Dong with a pleading gaze.

Shao Dong restrained himself so his expression did not look too strange and probed. "No, we were just frightened by the earthquake. Mommy, do you remember the earthquake?"

Mu Jingzhe sighed. "Of course I remember it. Wasn't I trapped with Ji Buwang? But it's fine now. Little Dong, don't be afraid. Weren't we all rescued?"

As she spoke, she saw the newspaper beside her and tilted her head to read it. After taking a few glances at it, she frowned. "Why is the newspaper old? Nanlin County has been restored quite a lot, hasn't it? Are there any new newspapers?"

Shao Dong looked at the date in the newspaper. He wanted to smile but he couldn't, as this was the latest newspaper. This was the fourth day after the earthquake. It wasn't an old newspaper at all.

He had expected many different scenarios to occur when Mu Jingzhe woke up, but he hadn't expected this to happen. Everything was chaotic and he was at a loss.

As Shao Dong didn't know how to answer, the doctors arrived. They asked Mu Jingzhe many questions, and Mu Jingzhe answered them all clearly.

However, her timing was wrong. For no apparent reason, her timeline had been pushed back by a month. When the doctor asked about it, she began looking for Ji Buwang again and urged Shao Xi to go home and find him.

Based on those few words, Shao Dong could tell that, in Mu Jingzhe's timeline, she and Ji Buwang had also experienced an earthquake but had been saved the next day.

Although she had been in an accident, luckily, their wedding had been held on time. It was now a month later.

The doctor didn't know why Mu Jingzhe's condition was this strange. Just as he was about to take a good look, Mu Jingzhe started looking at her arm curiously.

"It's been a month since my injury. Why hasn't it healed yet? I don't remember being hospitalized. Why am I in the hospital now? I clearly remember wearing a wedding dress and getting married. I didn't have any wounds."

As she wondered, Shao Dong's heart palpitated when he heard that. As soon as the doctor heard her words, his hand paused while holding the pen. Just as he was about to speak, the pen accidentally fell to the ground. The doctor bent down to pick it up. Mu Jingzhe immediately saw the doctor's record.

"The date… Why is the date you wrote down also the date in the old newspaper…"

Mu Jingzhe looked at the newspaper and then at the five kids. She suddenly shook her head. "No, no, you're all wrong. The date is wrong. Everything's wrong. You guys must be part of my dream. Wake up! I want to wake up!"

Mu Jingzhe's heart was filled with panic, as if a ferocious beast was living in her mind and it would run out if she wasn't careful. This made her feel very uneasy. She couldn't lift her hands, and her mind was a mess. She couldn't help but look at Shao Dong for help. "Little Dong, pinch me. I want to see if I'll wake up."

Shao Dong watched as Mu Jingzhe's body stiffened.. After a moment, he stepped forward and stretched out his hand, but he didn't know where to pinch her.
