Su Wantang's clothes were completely soaked by the lake water, becoming thin and transparent, sticky and clinging to her fair and translucent face. Her black hair was also sticky, dripping down her fair and translucent face.

Su Wantang disregarded everything else and focused her gaze on the girl lying on the ground with her eyes closed.

She clasped her hands together and pressed them against the girl's chest, pressing down repeatedly.

"Wake up! Don't fall asleep!"

Su Wantang pressed down hard as she spoke.

Wei Juan's consciousness plunged into an unfathomable darkness.

She had a dream.

In her dream, she saw her mother when she was young.

She saw her mother waving to her.

"Mom...I miss you so much..." Wei Juan choked back tears as she reached out her hand to her mother. "Since you passed away, I haven't had a good time at home..."

“My father only loves my stepmother and her daughter… I feel like an outsider at home…”

“My stepmother is nice to me on the surface, but she often bullies me behind my back... Wei Lili also often hits me, scolds me, and bullies me…”

"I live a less comfortable life in this house than a dog..."

Wei Juan choked back tears, sobbing uncontrollably, "Mom, since you left, no one has loved me anymore..."

"My dear child..." The woman's eyes were filled with tears as she tightly embraced Wei Juan.

"It's my fault. If my health were better, I could stay with you longer and love you longer... You wouldn't have to suffer so much..." The woman hugged Wei Juan tightly, resting her chin on the top of her head.

Wei Juan threw herself into her mother's arms and cried uncontrollably, venting all the grievances she had suffered over the years.

Only when she is in her mother's arms can she feel that she is loved.

Only then can she feel at home.

"Mom, take me away..." Wei Juan raised her blurry, tear-filled eyes and looked at the woman in front of her. "I wasn't happy at all in that house. I don't want to stay in this cold house anymore... Take me away, anywhere is fine with me..."

The woman looked at her with tears in her eyes, raised her hand and wiped away the tears on Wei Juan's cheeks. "My dear child, I have missed you a lot all these years, but you can't come with me. You are still young, and you have a long road ahead of you."

"Live well. Your mother will be watching over you from heaven."

With that, the woman hardened her heart and pushed Wei Juan away from her arms.

"Mom...don't leave me..." Wei Juan burst into tears, sobbing uncontrollably.

"Go back, child, this is not a place for you..." The woman looked at her with tears streaming down her face, and then her figure grew farther and farther away, gradually disappearing into a cloud of mist.

"Mom!" Wei Juan spat out a mouthful of water in real life, crying out in despair, her face covered in tears.

"You're awake." Su Wantang wiped the lake water from her face and chuckled softly.

Wei Juan sat up blankly, looked around, and realized that it was just a dream.

She didn't drown after falling into the lake; it was this beautiful woman in front of her who saved her.

"Pretty sister, you saved me, didn't you?" Wei Juan's face was covered in tears, and her voice was hoarse as she choked out the words.
