What followed was her silent sobbing.
At this moment, Gu Qiangwei’s long-suppressed fears and hopes had finally burst forth completely.
Her mother was still alive, but why, why hadn’t she gone back to find her for so many years, why...
Had she remarried, formed her own family, so she didn’t want her anymore, discarded her, content in the family where she now was?
Yet despite this, she still felt fortunate that her mother was not dead, she was alive.
Watching her shoulders tremble with sobs, Qin Sijue felt a pang of heartache and stretched out his arms to pull her into his embrace, letting her face press against his chest, even if her tears mixed with snot dirtied his shirt, he showed not a hint of disgust but instead soothed her gently, "I still don’t know where she is, so, we wait for Luo Chen to come back."
Gu Qiangwei just cried, her hands tightly clutching his clothes, that excitement, that thrill, that joy of recovering what was lost, yet it made her heart inexplicably ache.
The pain was from being lonely and helpless in the Gu Family, suffering Chen Peifang’s bullying, enduring Gu Zhendong’s partiality, even almost being sold by him, and even almost defiled by Gu Shijie.
But she didn’t understand, she couldn’t grasp why her mother had abandoned her, was the disappearance over these ten years merely a play she directed herself? To pursue her own life, so she abandoned her, remarried, and started a new family with someone else?
And during these ten years, she had aimlessly searched for her, believing she was dead and living each day in grief.
Feeling the trembling body in his arms, Qin Sijue felt as if his heart were breaking.
His voice was even a bit hoarse, "Stop crying, my heart is breaking."
But Gu Qiangwei couldn’t help it, her sobs grew even more intense.
Mainly because they were in the hospital, she didn’t dare to cry too loudly, and the more she suppressed it, the more her body trembled.
In the hospital bed, seeing Gu Qiangwei suddenly break into tears, the little one put aside his own sense of loss and looked up, worriedly watching Gu Qiangwei.
"Sister Qiangwei, what’s wrong with you..."
Seeing her cry, the little one also felt a bit heartbroken.
Gu Qiangwei couldn’t stop her tears of extreme joy, and it took her a while to rise from Qin Sijue’s embrace, just about to speak, when the door of the hospital room was pushed open, and Nangong He and Nangong Feifei walked in.
Upon seeing Nangong He, the little one immediately called out.
As soon as Nangong He came in, he first glanced at his grandson, then looked at Gu Qiangwei, noticing her face streaked with tears and her incessant crying.
Seeing the two who walked in, Gu Qiangwei hurriedly wiped her tears and snot, and her sobbing gradually ceased.
Knowing they had watched over his grandson all night, even if Nangong He still deeply resented Qin Sijue, he could no longer reject them at this moment.
"Thank you for watching over my grandson all night."
Gu Qiangwei didn’t speak because she had just managed to calm down and couldn’t find the words.
Qin Sijue was even less likely to speak, but knowing about her family, he realized that he might need to reassess his view of the Nangong Family people.
After all... now that his wife was acknowledging her ancestry, they were all her family!
