A family with blood ties should support each other.

I don't expect Shen Yongcai and Fang Qiaolan to be good to Shen Zhihuan, but how could they bully her like that?

"As parents, they oppressed their child like that and even sold her important school registration for money. It makes me furious just hearing about it."

"If they weren't so incompetent, they wouldn't still be locked up inside."

Cheng Xiangling smacked her lips and launched into a long speech.

Sometimes, when she gets really angry, she even has to stop, take a sip of water to calm down, and then continue talking.

"Judging from the current situation, they will most likely be unable to attend Zhihuan's engagement party and wedding ceremony."

"Although Sister Zhihuan may not have cared much about their participation in the first place, that's no excuse for them to make a mistake!"

Cheng Xiangling paced around the ward in anger several times before finally plopping down in a chair, hugging her arms, and sulking.

"It's infuriating! How can such an unreliable and irresponsible person be a parent?"

Although she hadn't witnessed Shen Zhihuan's past firsthand, Cheng Xiangling felt so sad that she almost cried when she put herself in her shoes.

"Sister Zhihuan is so good and deserves to be loved, so why does she have such a terrible family background? It's one thing for her parents not to help her, but they always hold her back."

"If only Sister Zhihuan could have been born into our family, we would definitely take good care of her and give her lots and lots of love."

Song Xunying felt equally heartbroken upon hearing this.

"A girl as good as Miss Shen, who wouldn't like her? I also wish she could be my daughter."

“Our family loves lively atmospheres. With you three sisters here, our home will definitely be filled with laughter every day.”

"But one's fate cannot be changed. No matter how much we talk, it's just wishful thinking. It's just that Miss Cheng is suffering."

Seeing Cheng Xiangling's sullen expression, Cheng Wan smiled and said:

"Although we can't make Zhihuan our daughter, we can be good friends with her. Our two families can visit each other more often in the future, which can still make up for it."

After hearing her sister's words, Cheng Xiangling felt much better.

"That's true. Fortunately, Sister Zhihuan is very smart and has already gotten rid of her family of origin through her own efforts. I will definitely treat her well in the future."

She sighed, feeling saddened as she thought of her own sister, who had also suffered such a tragic fate.

Women's fates are truly tragic, whether it's their family of origin or their future marriage partner.

If even one of them is unreliable, it will cause them great harm.

Cheng Xiangling learned from her two older sisters' experiences and made a serious decision.

"I am very lucky to have been born into a happy family with loving parents."

"I can't let this good fortune slip away, so I've decided that I will never get married again. I want to take control of my own destiny through my own efforts!"

Song Xunying was both amused and exasperated, and gently patted her arm.

"Alright, alright, it's not too late for you to start working hard now. Remember to study hard in the future, otherwise, with your current level, you won't even be able to recognize all the Chinese characters, let alone English."

"I remember your correspondent, wasn't it all in English? What if you never understand it in your entire life?"

"It's okay if I don't understand it."

Cheng Xiangling's eyes lit up.

“My friend is really good at English. She always reads my letters and replies to me. Oh, and Mom, let me tell you, my communication partner is also amazing.”

She leaned over and took Song Xunying's arm, telling the story vividly.

“He just wrote to me not long ago, and he told me in the letter that he has now been accepted into the army.”

Seeing the bright smile on Cheng Xiangling's face, Cheng Wan was also happy for her sister.

Although Song Xunying's tone was somewhat helpless, his eyes were full of doting affection when he looked at her.

"Only those who can resonate with each other in thought and soul can become friends."

"Xiangling, as their partner, you also need to work hard and not fall too far behind."

Cheng Xiangling nodded vigorously, her fighting spirit already ignited.

"Don't worry, Mom, I will definitely work hard and study hard."

While his family members were talking, Song Mingqian just stared blankly out the window.

Although he has arrived at the hospital, his mind is still filled with the scenes of his time with Lin Banxia.

How can you so easily let go of someone you love deeply?

Over the years, their separation has not diminished Song Mingqian's love for her; on the contrary, his longing and guilt towards her have only grown stronger.

He missed Lin Banxia terribly.

Thinking back, even though he had only spent a short time with her today, his heart was already trembling uncontrollably.

If only that incident hadn't happened back then, they would surely be the happiest family with a loving wife and a lively daughter by their side.

Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs." All that remains are two pitiful people, trapped in the pain of the past and unable to move on.

Song Mingqian forced himself to pull himself out of his memories and focus on the present.

What he's most worried about right now is Lin Banxia's condition.

As soon as he closed his eyes, the image of Lin Banxia lying on the hospital bed, pale and sickly, would uncontrollably appear in his mind.

His heart ached as well.

Moreover, Dr. Li from the military compound clinic said that Lin Banxia's mental health issues were even more serious than her physical ones.

Song Mingqian felt extremely worried just thinking about it.

The old military doctor who came to treat them today has excellent medical skills.

He thought that besides asking him for help with the diagnosis, he would have to pull some strings to find a good psychologist.

I have already wronged my wife in many ways. Even if I can't make up for it, I should at least help her get her health back in order.
