Due to Ou Lianlian's behavior, when Xia Chuyi arrived at the hospital room, there was naturally not a single person outside the room.
Xia Chuyi knocked on the door, and seeing that there was no answer from inside, gently pushed it open.
Inside the room, Mrs. Ou was sleeping.
Perhaps due to the matters weighing on her mind, Mrs. Ou, even in sleep, had an erasable sorrow etched between her brows.
Such is the heart of a parent under heaven.
"Mrs. Ou? Mrs. Ou?" Xia Chuyi quietly called out twice, seeing that Mrs. Ou did not wake up.
Then, she tiptoed to leave the necklace and the fruit down, planning to write a note to leave there, and then take her leave.
Just as she was about to write the note, suddenly, Mrs. Ou, as if sensing something, opened her eyes.
As soon as Mrs. Ou opened her eyes, she saw Xia Chuyi beside the hospital bed and immediately cried out in a lost voice, "Jiao, Jiao Jiao?"
Xia Chuyi was taken aback for a moment, thinking: Mrs. Ou must be worried sick over her daughter and mistaken me for her, right?
Xia Chuyi quickly offered Mrs. Ou a smile, saying, "Lady, hello, do you remember me?"
"I'm the person who saved you that day in the alley," Xia Chuyi introduced herself.
Mrs. Ou's gaze flickered incessantly, her eyes moving up and down as she examined Xia Chuyi.
This child, she really does look so much like her mother!
Unable to contain herself, Mrs. Ou reached out toward Xia Chuyi, her voice trembling as she carefully said, "Child, my child..."
Seeing this, Xia Chuyi also hurriedly extended her hand to hold Mrs. Ou's, smilingly saying, "Lady, do you need anything?"
She thought Mrs. Ou might need something because there was no one else in the hospital room. Follow current novels on novel-fire.net
But then Mrs. Ou quickly shook her head, tightly gripping her hand, and asked, "Child, my child, how old are you this year?"
"Ah?" Xia Chuyi was stunned for a moment, not understanding why Mrs. Ou would ask this, but still, she smiled and answered, "I'll be twenty next month."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Ou's eyes suddenly widened, and she became even more agitated as she said, "Then, when is your birthday?"
"The 29th," Xia Chuyi, worried about Mrs. Ou's emotional state, decided to share.
She guessed, seeing her, the Second Madam must be reminded of "Ou Jiao."
After all, Brother Ou had said that her birthday was the very same day as "Ou Jiao's."
As for the Ou family's efforts to find "Ou Jiao," Shuqin had told her that Ou Jun and Ou Cong were still keeping it from Mrs. Ou.
So, seeing her, about the same age as Ou Jiao, must have made Mrs. Ou think of her daughter.
Hearing Xia Chuyi say the 29th, Mrs. Ou became even more excited, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Child, my child... you..." Mrs. Ou was so agitated that she didn't know what to say.
"Lady, I understand, I understand," Xia Chuyi couldn't help but pat Mrs. Ou's hand, trying to console her.
She didn't want Mrs. Ou to get so agitated, nor did she want her to mistake her for someone else, and so she said, "Ou Jiao will come back."
"Lady, Brother Ou and the others, they will bring 'Ou Jiao' back soon," Xia Chuyi hinted.
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Ou's tears flowed even more fiercely.
"Lady, please don't get too excited!" Seeing Mrs. Ou , Xia Chuyi felt that she might be showing signs of an episode and hurriedly said, "Lady, listen to me, can you please calm down a bit?"
She tried to pull her hand free.
However, Mrs. Ou became even more agitated, her breathing suddenly very rapid.
Xia Chuyi immediately stepped forward, patting Mrs. Ou, saying, "Mrs. Ou, please don't be agitated, don't be agitated!"
"I, I will come to see you again," Xia Chuyi said with a look of concern, trying to calm Mrs. Ou, "Please, don't be so agitated for now, okay?"
