Half a month passed in the blink of an eye, and Lin Wan would go to the mental hospital with Chen Xiaxia every day to see Chen Xiaomo.
Xing Zhaozhao was unaware of Chen Xiaomo's situation. She had tried to subtly inquire with Chen Xiaoxia, but Chen Xiaoxia was tight-lipped and she couldn't find out anything.
However, Chen Xiaoxia's mental state has visibly improved. She is no longer as gloomy as before, and she smiles more often. Sometimes she even takes the initiative to greet people.
Xing Zhaozhao couldn't think of anyone else besides her daughter, Chen Xiaomo, who could cause such a big change in Chen Xiaoxia.
She guessed that Chen Xiaomo was doing well, which put her at ease.
The only person Xing Zhaozhao was worried about was Lin Wan. She had been unusually well-behaved lately, and had even stopped asking her about Gao Mingcheng's health. It felt like she was up to no good.
That morning, Xing Zhaozhao woke up to find Chen Xiaoxia busy in the kitchen.
"Good morning." Chen Xiaoxia greeted Xing Zhaozhao with a smile as soon as she saw her.
When Xing Zhaozhao first saw Chen Xiaoxia's smiling face, she was a little unaccustomed to it, but now she was used to it. She smiled and nodded, replying, "Good morning."
No one knew when Chen Xiaxia got up or how long she had been busy in the kitchen. On the counter, there were four huge lunch boxes lined up, almost completely filled with cut fruit, fried snacks, sandwiches, and all sorts of small cakes.
"Why did you prepare so much delicious food? Are you going out to play?" Xing Zhaozhao asked curiously.
Chen Xiaoxia was in an exceptionally good mood today, her smile was unusually bright. She nodded and blurted out, "Yes, today is our little..."
Before she could finish speaking, she suddenly realized something was wrong, quickly stopped talking, and then changed her words, saying, "We're going to the amusement park today."
As she spoke, she kept glancing at Xing Zhaozhao out of the corner of her eye, as if afraid that she would discover something was wrong.
Xiao? Xiao what? Xiao Mo? They're going to the amusement park with Chen Xiao Mo? But isn't Chen Xiao Mo in the mental hospital? Has she been released already?
Xing Zhaozhao was full of curiosity, but seeing Chen Xiaoxia's cautious and reluctant appearance, she wisely refrained from asking further and simply smiled and said, "Have fun."
Chen Xiaoxia immediately breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and nodded, saying, "Yes, thank you."
After saying that, she seemed to remember something, turned around, picked up a plate of sandwiches, and handed it to Xing Zhaozhao: "I made an extra one for you."
Xing Zhaozhao didn't stand on ceremony and accepted the offer with a smile: "Thank you, Aunt Xia."
Chen Xiaoxia quickly prepared the food and left with Lin Wan.
Xing Zhaozhao finished her breakfast slowly and, as usual, went to the hospital.
As soon as I arrived at the hospital entrance, I saw a girl who looked to be in her early twenties, carrying a childish pink bear bag. She looked anxious and muttered something to herself, pacing back and forth in the middle of the entrance, perhaps waiting for someone.
Just then, a car suddenly drove towards the hospital gate.
Those who saw it quickly moved away.
The girl seemed completely unaware, and continued along her predetermined route, crashing straight into the car.
Because it was at the hospital entrance, there were already many people, and the car driver was already driving quite slowly. He didn't expect someone to be so stubborn as to crash into him. By the time he realized something was wrong and tried to brake, it was too late, and they were about to hit him.
Not to mention the car driver, even the people around who saw it couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
Just then, a hand suddenly reached out and lifted the girl up, pulling her aside.
The car came to a stop with a creak.
After a brief silence, the driver leaned out of the car window, pounded on the door, and roared furiously, "Are you blind? Can't you walk? If you want to die, don't try to kill me..."
Xing Zhaozhao frowned slightly and gently pulled the girl she had just rescued into her arms.
Perhaps frightened, the girl's thin body was trembling.
Although the driver's words were harsh, he was definitely not at fault. Xing Zhaozhao patted the girl's shoulder reassuringly, and after the driver finished yelling, she explained on her behalf, "I'm sorry, she probably didn't mean it." After saying that, she led the girl away.
Fortunately, nothing bad happened. The driver cursed a couple of times and then drove away.
Xing Zhaozhao pulled the girl aside and asked with concern, "Are you alright?"
The girl looked up at Xing Zhaozhao, her eyes, which had just been washed by tears and were so pure that they were like those of a newborn child, went straight into Xing Zhaozhao's eyes.
"Did I do something wrong just now, sister?" the girl asked Xing Zhaozhao with a bewildered look.
Xing Zhaozhao looked at her, and her heart skipped a beat.
This girl seems a bit off.
"What's your name?" Xing Zhaozhao asked.
"Name?" The girl tilted her head and thought for a moment, then took out a piece of paper from her pink bear bag. On it was written a large character "墨" (Mo).
ink?
Xing Zhaozhao's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately thought of one person.
Could it be her?
The girl stared at the character "墨" (mo) for a while, frowned, then looked up at Xing Zhaozhao and grinned: "I remember now, my name is Heitu (Black Earth)."
Xing Zhaozhao: "..."
Xing Zhaozhao took the note, still uneasy, and asked her again, "Are you sure?"
The girl nodded vigorously, then pointed to the words on the note and asked, "Sister, can't you read? Doesn't it say 'black' and 'soil'?"
Xing Zhaozhao: "..." Or was it her fault?
However, after staring at the girl in front of her for a moment, Xing Zhaozhao dismissed the thought in her mind.
First of all, Chen Xiaomo should be at the amusement park with her grandma and mom right now, so it's impossible for her to come to the hospital alone. Besides, Chen Xiaomo gave birth to Gao Yang when she was in her twenties. Gao Yang is in his twenties now, and she should be in her forties, almost fifty. How could she still act like a girl in her twenties?
Xing Zhaozhao calmed down for the moment and looked at the girl in front of her, continuing to ask, "Xiao Hei, who did you come to the hospital with? Where are your family members?"
The girl frowned, held her head and thought hard for a moment, then shook her head and said, "I don't remember."
Xing Zhaozhao was at a loss for words. After thinking for a moment, she said, "How about I take you to find a policeman and help you find your family?"
Upon hearing that they were to find a policeman, the girl shook her head fearfully, saying, "No, I don't want to find a policeman, I want to find...find..."
She couldn't remember what she was looking for, and her eyes welled up with tears as she anxiously cried out, "I need to find...find..."
"What are you looking for?" Xing Zhaozhao asked, following her train of thought.
"I'm looking for..." The girl muttered to herself, clutching her head, for a while before suddenly looking up at Xing Zhaozhao with bright eyes. "I remember now, sister, I'm looking for my baby..."
