Uncle Jiang nodded his head in satisfaction when he saw Zhang De like this. Although he was prepared that Zhang De might not admit it but this was for the best. Seeing Zhang De kneeling on the ground, Uncle Jiang said,
“Zhang De, there is one more thing I must tell you. Master has a powerful enemy. If they found out about you, they will also hunt you down. Therefore, you must keep this a secret and not tell anyone about what happened today. Do you understand?”
Zhang De was a little dispirited when he heard this. He already knew that Jiang Xiaoman was his biological mother and that Su Jin was his younger sister, but he couldn’t say anything. Zhang De was a little sad. Shouldn’t the family be reunited now? He asked,
“Then Su Jin and I can’t acknowledge each other? Ever?”
When Uncle Jiang heard this, he knew that Zhang De wanted to get Su Jin here to be by their mom’s side. But this was way too dangerous. Master was lucky this time, but no one could say for sure for Su Jin or Zhang De. Uncle Jiang replied firmly,
“No, not yet.”
Uncle Jiang didn’t want to make Zhang De too sad. Moreover, these things still had to be discussed. It wasn’t that they couldn’t acknowledge each other, just not yet. That woman had already made a move, so she wouldn’t give up so easily. It was very likely that she would kill them all. Uncle Jiang continued,
“I will find an opportunity to reunite you two siblings, but not now. Master is still in danger. For your safety, you can’t acknowledge each other!”
When Zhang De heard this, he nodded but clenched his fists tightly. He swore in his heart that he would find out who was behind this and avenge his mom. He would also protect his sister and the family would live together happily after.
When Uncle Jiang saw Zhang De like this, he knew what Zhang De was thinking. He looked at Zhang De, his eyes red; he was right about this child, but it was too dangerous now. And they had to figure out a way to wake Jiang Xiaoman up. Uncle Jiang said,
“Child, master has been missing you a lot. You must wake her up.”
Zhang De frowned helplessly when he heard this. He also knew that he had to wake his mother up, but he was not a doctor, so how could he do it? With tears in his eyes, he looked at Jiang Xiaoman and said,
“What can I do to wake Mom up?”
Back then, Uncle Jiang had always told the public that Zhang De’s mother had died in childbirth. Zhang De had always thought so too. He did not expect that his mother was still alive but with her life hanging by a thread now. Since young, Zhang De had always envied others for having a mom, and he had always longed to see his mom. Now that he had seen her, he would never let her leave again.
Uncle Jiang also frowned at the side. Although the doctor had treated Jiang Xiaoman’s external injuries, he had no good solution to her coma except for family by her side trying to wake her up. Uncle Jiang said with a choking voice,
“Master has not come to see you all these years because she wants you to live safely. Although she has not visited you, she has always been thinking of you. You can spend more time talking to her now and tell her that it’s you. Perhaps she will wake up when she hears your voice.”
Zhang De nodded. This was his mom. He would do anything as long as he could wake his mom up. He would not lose her again this time!
At the manor, Su Jin still did not have much appetite. She ate a few mouthfuls of food before putting down her chopsticks and bowl. Despite the delicious food on the table, she couldn’t eat any more. Su Jin said to Xi Chenxiao,
“I’m done eating.”
Xi Chenxiao’s expression turned cold when he saw this. It was not like he did not know how much this girl usually ate. How could she be done when she had eaten so little? Moreover, it had been two days since she ate. He held Su Jin in his arms, picked up his chopsticks and started picking up food and feeding Su Jin.
“Eat more.”
Su Jin shook her head. She was not in the mood to eat at all. And she couldn’t eat any more; the few mouthfuls she had was all she could take. She couldn’t eat more even if Xi Chenxiao fed her. She replied calmly,
“There’s still no news about Mom. I can’t eat any more.”
Xi Chenxiao’s eyes narrowed. If the girl did not eat or drink, she would collapse even if they found his mother-in-law. Xi Chenxiao picked up a large prawn and started removing its shell as he said,
“They haven’t found the body yet, which means that your mother might still be alive. If you want to find your mother, you must eat your fill and rest well. Otherwise, who will take care of your mother when we find her?”
