Chapter 285: Shattered Fantasy

Su Xiangnan was so excited that he walked very fast when he came. He was afraid that the little girl could not keep up, so he simply picked her up. Now he put the child on the floor when he arrived at the ward.

Shi Yamin, who was lying on the bed, stared at the little girl's face for half a minute. Her originally indifferent face suddenly turned into a huge surprise.

She opened the quilt without even wearing shoes, ran to the little girl in two steps, squatted down, lifted the hair on the back of the little girl's neck, and there was indeed a small mole there.

Shi Yamin excitedly grabbed the little girl's arm, looked at the child, tears burst out, and hurriedly called:

"Xiao Na..."

The little girl whose arm was grabbed by Shi Yamin was obviously a little panicked and scared. She froze in place for a while and did not react.

"Xiao Na, I'm your mother, look carefully, I'm your mother..."

Shi Yamin thought the little girl didn't recognize her, so she moved closer, tears slid down her cheeks, flowing down gently, but she didn't bother to wipe them off, looking at the little girl with great self-blame and continued:

"It's all your fault, I shouldn't have lost you, oooo..."

Shi Yamin couldn't hold it in any longer, sobbing painfully.

The little girl came back to her senses from her confusion, looked at Shi Yamin, and finally recognized her. The next second she threw herself into her mother's arms and suddenly burst into tears. (People who become mute after birth can make sounds when they cry.)

The crying was deafening, releasing all the helplessness, sadness, and grievances that had been suppressed in the heart for the past year.

Seeing the mother and daughter hugging each other and crying, Su Xiangnan, who was standing by, could not help but be moved, and walked over to help his sister-in-law and niece up from the ground.

Shi Yamin sat on the bed with her child in her arms, unwilling to let go for a moment. She tried to calm down, and lovingly helped her daughter to tidy up the hair that fell on her face, while softly asking:

"Xiao Na, where have you been this year? Since you were lost, mom has been looking for you everywhere, but she can't find you..."

As she spoke, her voice began to choke again, and tears silently slid down. This year, worry, anxiety, confusion, helplessness... tortured her all the time, making her breathless.

The little girl didn't say anything, but sensibly raised her hand and used her sleeve to wipe the tears that kept flowing out of Shi Yamin.

Shi Yamin was afraid that this was just another dream, so she gently held her little hand and put it against her face. Only when she felt the real warmth did she feel relieved and asked softly:

"Xiao Na, are you blaming mom? Blame mom for losing you. I'm sorry. Mom promises that I will never leave you again."

After Shi Yamin finished speaking, she looked at her daughter with eager eyes, expecting her to talk to her and call her, but the little girl just looked at her and didn't say a word from beginning to end.

Seeing that her daughter still refused to talk to her, Shi Yamin could not help but call her daughter's name again:

"Xiao Na."

"Sister-in-law." Su Xiangnan, who was standing by, said in a low voice, hesitating for a moment, with sadness in her tone:

"She can't speak."

"Can't speak!" Shi Yamin's expression became visibly flustered. After a moment, she suddenly raised her hand and pried open her daughter's mouth, opened her mouth wide and made an "ah..." sound, signaling her daughter to learn from her.

While doing this series of actions, she was shaking all over. When she was looking for Su Na, she had seen children without tongues or hands and feet begging on the road.

Looking at those poor children, she wondered what she would do if Xiao Na became like this, and what would happen to her children.

When she heard Su Xiangnan say that Xiaona couldn't speak, her first reaction was: Did someone pull out her tongue?

With fear, she immediately checked her daughter's mouth. After her daughter made an "ah" sound, she finally saw her intact tongue.

She breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, such a cruel and terrible thing did not happen to her daughter!

Shi Yamin looked at Su Xiangnan and said anxiously:

"Why can't Xiaona speak? She used to be able to speak! She could sing and so on! Why can't she speak now?"

Su Xiangnan had just seen the child and had no idea about the specific situation. Looking at his anxious sister-in-law, he could only comfort her:

"Don't worry, sister-in-law, Xiaona may have been stimulated by something and can't speak for the time being. We will go back and guide her slowly. I believe she will be able to speak in the future."

Shi Yamin still couldn't accept the fact that her daughter couldn't speak. She took Su Na's hand and gently guided her:

"Xiao Na, can you call me mom? Just once, just once..."

In Shi Yamin's eager eyes, Suna opened her mouth wide. It was obvious that she had tried very hard, but in the end no sound came out.

Shi Yamin looked at her daughter like this, tears burst out again, hugged her daughter, and cried. How could the child not speak and become mute?

After a long time, Shi Yamin finally recovered from her grief. She touched her daughter's head lovingly, tears in her eyes, but a smile on her lips, and whispered softly:

"It doesn't matter if you can't speak, it's good to be back, it's good to be back."

At this time, Huang Caiping and a nurse came into the ward, talking and laughing. It can be seen that she was in a very good mood, and the smile on her face never faded.

She learned from the nurse on duty what Shi Yamin and Su Xiangdong talked about yesterday, and learned that the two were already discussing divorce. What she had been looking forward to for so long was finally about to come true. How could she not be happy?

When she was about to reach the door of the ward, she restrained her smile. After all, Shi Yamin was her "friend" and her friend was getting divorced. It was not appropriate for her to be so happy in front of her.

Huang Caiping walked into the ward and asked:

"Yamin, do you feel better today? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere..."

She suddenly stopped talking here because she saw Shi Yamin holding a little girl lovingly, crying and laughing, saying "I'm glad you're back".

Huang Caiping's heart skipped a beat. She had guessed something, but she still looked at Shi Yamin to confirm:

"Yamin, who is this child?"
