Chapter 227
Shen Yao?
Upon hearing this familiar name, Shen Ge was immediately stunned, because this was precisely the “father” who had transformed into an octopus monster and devoured his mother.
“Mom, I think you’re getting confused again. This is my apprentice, Shen Ge, not Shen Yao. Don’t you remember I mentioned him to you before, and even showed you his photo?” Jiang Jing helped the elderly woman sit down on the sofa, her tone carrying a hint of helplessness.
The old lady already had old injuries, and after falling seriously ill last time, her condition had worsened further. Although she seemed physically sturdy, it was actually more like a final rally. Besides her physical state, her mind had also become less clear. She might seem to be having a normal conversation with you, but it was often like talking past each other, completely on different wavelengths. Mistaking people was even more common.
Clearly, the old lady didn’t think so. Hearing her daughter say she had mistaken the person, she angrily thumped the floor with her cane, making loud bam bam sounds. “How could I possibly mistake him? He is Shen Yao! When he was a naughty boy, I even hit him with my cane. Born into a military family, he had the makings of a great soldier, yet he ran off to do some kind of research! What a waste of talent, truly a pity… Shen Yao, have you finally come to your senses now?”
“Sorry, Xiao Shen, my mom’s mind is a bit…” Jiang Jing gave Shen Ge an apologetic look, about to explain, but was interrupted by Shen Ge.
“Master’s wife, Shen Yao is my father,” Shen Ge stated directly.
Shen Ge used to think his childhood memories were hazy because of those three years of “advanced study” at Rongshan Psychiatric Hospital. Now, having realized his “memories” fell into two categories — clear and fuzzy — he was certain it wasn’t that he had forgotten memories related to his parents; rather, that part of his memory belonged to the “fuzzy” category.
The appearance of the Dream World had gradually brought these “fuzzy” memories back to mind. Yet, dying in the Dream World had also caused originally “clear” memories to become fuzzy.
