Chapter 242 Mother and daughter recognize each other, family of three reunited

[Little master, you must believe in yourself. There's no one left to save him now. He's your father, and a living, breathing human being. Don't worry, all that's left is to remove the bullet.]

The voice of the space-loving sister carried a barely perceptible anxiety.

The words reached Zhizhi's ears, causing her to unconsciously furrow her brows.

She remembered that the older sister in the space always spoke the gentlest, as if nothing could cause her to have any emotional fluctuations.

She thought that the Space Sister had no human emotions and was just a string of cold, lifeless data.

But the more I think about it now, the more something seems off.

The occasions in which Sister Space appears seem too coincidental.

It seems that their first argument was because of Jiang Yan.

Could it be... that the relationship between Space Sister and Jiang Yan is unusual?

Zhizhi sniffed, and with this question in mind, she hurriedly put on gloves and began to cut, following instructions.

The syringe was used to inject the medicine around Jiang Yan's wound. After carefully using up the entire vial, the bleeding began to decrease.

Next, the little cub focused intently and followed the instructions step by step according to the voice of the Space Sister.

Lidocaine has a local anesthetic effect and can constrict blood vessels to stop bleeding. Okay, now pick up the scalpel and cut open the skin where the bullet is embedded.

[Yes, that's how it works for Zhizhi. See the forceps inside the sterile package? The one shaped like a duck's beak. Just gently grip the cartridge case and remove it.]

[Don't be afraid if there's bleeding. You can press the white cotton ball next to it to stop the bleeding. Once the bleeding stops, you can start suturing.]

... ...

About twenty minutes later, the voice of the Space Sister gradually softened.

【Yes, that's great, Zhizhi, you did an excellent job.】

"Phew..."

The little cub let out a heavy breath and cut the last knot with the scissors in her hand. The knot she tied was crooked, but she had already tried it and found that it couldn't be untied by pulling.

The space sister said that it's fine as it is now.

As long as it's not torn open, the wound won't bleed.

I'll feed Jiang Yan the spiritual spring water later, and then apply it externally. His skin and flesh wounds will heal quickly.

Zhizhi clumsily removed the gloves from her hands. The thin white gloves were sticky when she took them off, and her hands were covered in cold sweat from nervousness.

[Are you hungry, Zhizhi? There's some ripe seedless watermelon in the space. Go get it; it's already cut up, so you can eat it with a fork.]

[They also have candied hawthorn skewers. The space has been upgraded now, and there are cotton candy and blueberry candied hawthorn skewers, as well as strawberry and yellow peach candied hawthorn skewers filled with yogurt chunks. They taste really good, why don't you try some?]

Just as the space sister was gently coaxing the child.

The little cub pouted and suddenly spoke, "Mama... ...?"

【Wh...what?】

When Zhizhi looked up again, her eyes were already filled with tears, glistening and almost about to fall.

"You're the mother, aren't you?"

She had previously asked the Space Sister seriously about her identity.

But space always avoids answering this question.

But while she was performing surgery on her father, she kept replaying many things from the past in her mind.

There are some things that even if Sister Space wants to deliberately ignore them.

She could still sense that she was already four years old and would soon be old enough to go to kindergarten.

She's not stupid!

Only a mother would feel more sorry for her than for herself.

Only a mother will try to mediate when her daughter is arguing and sulking with her father.

"Waaaah—!"

Zhizhi's sobs grew increasingly faint as she wiped her tears with her sleeve, sobbing, "When we used to argue, even though you ignored me, you would always prepare fruit and vegetables for me when I was hungry. Deng Qiu's mother said more than once that only a biological mother would care whether you were hungry when you were arguing. Even during a cold war, even if you don't make up, parents still care about their children."

Children can only threaten to go on a hunger strike in front of their parents.

【Zhizhi... I don't want to lie to you.】

The voice of the Space Sister was filled with endless sighs: "I shouldn't exist. I should have left long ago. It's because I care about you that, by a twist of fate, I can stay by your side as a space being. Seeing you happy makes me truly happy."

She did not acknowledge that she was the mother.

But she had already informed the cub of everything by tacitly agreeing to it.

"Enning's mother!"

Zhizhi looked up, tears welling in her eyes, "Can you please appear? I want to hug you, let me see you!"

【sorry... ...】

She was powerless to help her child make his first request.

She couldn't do that...

"It's okay! Let's chat then. This is the first time our family of three has been together."

Zhizhi tried to force a smile, but the smile looked too sad.

She pursed her lips and asked cautiously, "Mom, do you hate Dad? If it weren't for him, you might not have experienced so many tragedies."

[Zhizhi, don't resent your father. I hope you can live well with love and hope. Objectively speaking, he wasn't the murderer who killed me. We should bring the bad guys to justice. More importantly, Mom doesn't want you to suffer like this.]

[Zhizhi, you need to smile, your happiness index will soon be full.]

Mom is so happy to be able to spend another day with you; every day is a bonus.

"and you... ..."

Zhizhi sniffed and stretched out her hand in a pinky promise. "Then you have to stay with me for a while longer. You have to watch me grow up, okay?"

In the warm, unchanging space, there was no response.

Only faint, short, choked breathing could be heard, as if it were a mixture of joy and regret.

Zhizhi sighed softly and said in a sweet voice, "Don't be sad. It's good that you can't be with me. At least I know that I'm not a child without parents. Other children only have one set of parents, but I have two. That's already very good. I'm already the happiest child in the world."

【Gardenia... ...】

Space Sister... ...No, it's Ji Enning.

Her voice was muffled, as if she had been crying, "No matter what, Mom loves you."

"Uh-huh!"

Zhizhi nodded happily.

At this moment, the mother and daughter were both immersed in the joy of recognizing each other, and no one noticed that Jiang Yan's fingers were tightly curled and clenched into fists.

His jaw was trembling slightly.

Even with his eyes closed, you could still feel that his breathing was disordered.

What did he just hear?

That was... En Ning's voice?
