"Child, don't be afraid... calm down..." Mrs. Ou saw Xia Chuyi's worried expression and couldn't help but feel heartbroken. Struggling against her physical discomfort and gasping for breath, she spoke to her.
Seeing Mrs. Ou seemed slightly better, Xia Chuyi quickly said, "Then, Lady, don't get excited. Can I come to see you another day?"
If she had known that coming to the hospital would upset Mrs. Ou, she should not have come! Xia Chuyi thought.
However, hearing her say this, Mrs. Ou suddenly became excited again, gripping her hand tightly and hurriedly shouting, "Don't go, don't go!"
Seeing Mrs. Ou become emotional again, Xia Chuyi quickly said, "Okay, I won't go, I won't."
She thought for a moment, sat down by the bed, and prepared to calm Mrs. Ou's emotions.
However, as Mrs. Ou observed her every move, watching as tears began flowing again, her emotions seemed to intensify.
Xia Chu immediately frowned deeply.
No, she could not stay any longer.
Xia Chuyi stood up and sternly said to Mrs. Ou, "Lady, your current state is not suitable for our meeting."
"If you continue to be this agitated, have you thought about how this might become our last meeting? You might never be able to see 'Ou Jiao' again?"
Realizing Mrs. Ou might have misunderstood her, she simply used "Ou Jiao's" tone, speaking ambiguously.
"No..." Mrs. Ou heard her words and immediately shook her head, "No!"
Mrs. Ou's emotions were very agitated.
Xia Chuyi quickly said, "Okay, then please control your emotions and try not to get too excited, will you?"
"I will leave now and come back another day when you are feeling better."
"Lady, you and your daughter haven't reunited yet... so, promise me, take good care of your health, okay?"
For some reason, even without any evidence, Mrs. Ou had already convinced herself that this girl was her own daughter!
Mrs. Ou's tears continued to flow relentlessly.
"Okay, okay..." Mrs. Ou finally said reluctantly, "I promise you."
There will be plenty of days for their mother-daughter reunion in the future; she couldn't let her health fail now.
Seeing that Mrs. Ou's emotions had finally stabilized somewhat, Xia Chuyi let out a deep breath.
"Then, Lady, I will leave now. Don't get worked up..." Xia Chuyi slowly began to extricate her hand from Mrs. Ou's grasp.
Although Mrs. Ou was extremely reluctant, in the end, she could only tearfully let go of Xia Chuyi's hand, pressing it against her own heart.
Mrs. Ou's eyes stayed fixed on Xia Chuyi until she had completely left.
After Xia Chuyi had left, Mrs. Ou closed her eyes, her tears still flowing.
Suddenly, the door made a soft sound; someone pushed it open and came in.
Mrs. Ou immediately opened her eyes to look.
"Jiao Jiao?" She thought Xia Chuyi had come back, but the person who came in was an unfamiliar girl. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novelFirｅ.net
The person who came in was Xia Lan.
"Lady, I, I am 'Ou Jiao's' friend," Xia Lan said timidly to Mrs. Ou, "I, I came to see how you were."
"You know Jiao Jiao?" Mrs. Ou was surprised to hear Xia Lan say this.
Because the visitor was not her daughter, Mrs. Ou's emotions were not as agitated as before and were within controllable limits.
Xia Lan took steps toward Mrs. Ou.
"Yes, I am 'Ou Jiao's' friend..." As Xia Lan spoke, she surveyed her surroundings, seeing no one else around, she sighed and said, "Oh, Lady, you have no idea how hard 'Ou Jiao' had it these past years."
Xia Lan had heard all the conversation between Mrs. Ou and Xia Chuyi outside.
