Aunt Zhong was also asleep on the empty bed next to her, emitting long snores.
The surroundings were quiet, and Zhou Yue's mind began to race.
She recalled the happiness of her parents when they were alive, the fear of being locked in the storeroom for three days and three nights without food after their deaths, and the sweetness of her relationship with Zheng Fangshu. However, in the blink of an eye, she was faced with the despair of Zheng Fangshu forcing her to divorce him.
The ward was lit, but Zhou Yue was surrounded by darkness. It was as if countless hands were reaching out from the windows, doors, and under the bed, grabbing her neck, strangling her body, and dragging her legs into the endless darkness.
She tried to struggle, but couldn't move; she wanted to scream, but couldn't make a sound!
Just as Zhou Yue was about to suffocate, a familiar, loud voice suddenly came from the darkness: "Zhou Yue, wake up!"
With the restraints gone and the suffocating feeling gone, Zhou Yue opened her eyes and met Liang Guiying's face.
The face was still the same, fierce, but it was she who had pulled her out of the nightmare.
But he was also her son, who first bestowed happiness and hope upon her, and now he himself has shattered those beautiful things.
Zhou Yue found it difficult to feel grateful to her, and she immediately turned her head away.
Because she was worried about Niannian and Zhou Yue, Liang Guiying pedaled the tricycle so hard that sparks were flying.
As soon as she arrived at the ward door, she heard Zhou Yue groaning in pain. She thought she was too late and that Zhou Yue had already tried to commit suicide. But when she rushed in, she found that Zhou Yue was having a nightmare.
Seeing that Zhou Yue turned her head away as soon as she woke up, Liang Guiying just smiled.
Her own son scumbed to that person, and the fact that they didn't kick her out is already a sign of kindness. What's she complaining about?
Seeing Zhou Yue covered in sweat, Liang Guiying handed her a towel: "Wipe your sweat, change into dry clothes before you go to sleep. Don't get sick again before Niannian is fully recovered."
Zhou Yue didn't want to accept Liang Guiying's concern, but she couldn't fall ill; she still had to take care of Xiao Nian.
Watching Zhou Yue take her clothes to the bathroom, Liang Guiying touched Zhou Xiaonian's forehead. The little girl's forehead was warm, and her palms were warm too.
Liang Guiying breathed a sigh of relief.
Uncle Zhong had already woken Aunt Zhong up. The couple said they would come again tomorrow morning. Before leaving, they wrote down a number: "This is the department store's phone number. If there's anything you can't handle, go to the nurses' station and ask them to call me for you."
As Liang Guiying held the note, a warm feeling welled up in her heart.
She bowed deeply to the couple and said, "Uncle Zhong and Aunt Zhong, thank you."
As she bent over, the couple simultaneously supported her.
Zhong Bo said, "The matter of Zhou Yue and Niannian was our oversight... If I had been more attentive, Zhou Yue wouldn't have suffered like this."
Aunt Zhong didn't understand and asked a question. After hearing what Uncle Zhong said, she was so angry that she couldn't help but curse the old woman's ancestors for eighteen generations with the filthiest and most vicious language.
Liang Guiying sighed, "Zhou Yue's father was an ace pilot, and her mother was an excellent crew member. If they hadn't passed away, Zhou Yue might have become a pilot instead of suffering under her mother's abuse and oppression..."
"It's also my fault. If I had discovered the old woman's true colors sooner, Zhou Yue and her daughter would have suffered much less."
Mr. and Mrs. Zhong felt even more guilty after hearing this.
It's true that Zhou Yue's parents have passed away, but if those who had received kindness from Zhou Yue's parents had cared for her even a little, Zhou Yue would never have ended up in this situation!
Mr. and Mrs. Zhong left with a sigh.
Seeing that Zhou Yue had not returned, Liang Guiying worried that something might have happened, so she went to look for her.
As soon as I stepped out of the ward, I saw Zhou Yue. Her eyes were red, and it was clear she had been crying.
Their eyes met, and Zhou Yue lowered her head in embarrassment. Liang Guiying pretended not to see it and said gruffly, "You've been running around all day, you're exhausted. I'm going to sleep. You go and keep Xiaonian company, and stop walking around!"
Liang Guiying lay down on the bed and closed her eyes. When Zhou Yue's breathing became long and even, she immediately sat up.
She was very tired, but she couldn't sleep, and she didn't dare to sleep.
She was afraid something might happen every year, and she was also afraid that Zhou Yue would get up and try to kill herself while she was asleep.
Liang Guiying's eyes widened like copper bells, and her ears perked up. Every few minutes, she would touch Xiao Nian's forehead, and then touch Zhou Yue's forehead as well.
Just as dawn was approaching and Liang Guiying thought she could finally get through the night peacefully, Zhou Xiaonian suddenly let out a painful groan. Liang Guiying rushed over to check and found that her forehead was burning hot!
His limbs were also twitching!
Liang Guiying screamed in fright, picked up Zhou Xiaonian, and ran towards the nurses' station: "Help! Save my granddaughter!"
