While I am here, I can still protect her. If I am gone, what will happen to her innocent and kind Yu Ling, her lovely and flawless Yu Ling, her Yu Ling that makes people worry...

Not only Zhao Yuyan has changed, but Yu Ling has also changed.

From being lively and cheerful before to being silent and taciturn now.

I don’t know whether it is good or bad.

All this changed completely after Yu Ling met Xiao Guo.

Yu Ling, who should have been cautious, chose to blindly believe Xiao Guo again and again, and even praised Xiao Guo in front of Zhao Yuyan more than once or twice. This made her interested in this stranger woman, and a bold idea came to her mind.

It would be great if Yu Ling could leave here. If she could be with a good person, she would feel at peace even if she died immediately.

However, before implementing this crazy plan, she first had to determine the character of the lady mentioned by Yu Ling, so she chose the most direct way to track her.

After observing for several days, she found that the other party was very sensitive. As long as her sight was more direct, the other party would notice it. Several times, she felt that the other party should know that she was following her.

Later, I found out her identity, and I became even more convinced that she was the best candidate because of her powerful identity and good character.

Her judgment was correct, Xiaoguo was indeed very kind. Although her idea was extremely absurd to the families of the criminals, it was easy for her and her husband to do it with just a few words.

And knowing that Yu Ling was following them, he felt completely at ease.

Now that her wish has been fulfilled, Zhao Yuyan feels that it is almost time for her to die. She is too tired, both mentally and physically. She has been tired every day since she got sick, and has never felt as comfortable as she does today.

In the darkness, Zhao Yuyan felt as if her body was slowly becoming lighter. She rose and fell quietly with her breathing, facing death calmly.

I must be dead, otherwise why is my body, which has been cold for years, so warm now?

Zhao Yuyan felt that her body was becoming stronger and stronger. It didn't feel like she was dying at all, but more like she was rejuvenated.

Thinking of this, she was startled and slowly opened her eyes.

Yu Ling was dozing off with her eyes closed out of exhaustion at the moment, with one hand resting on the bed and the other hand still holding Zhao Yuyan's hand. She felt the other's movement at the first moment.

"Mom? You're awake."

Yu Ling stood up quickly, poured a cup of warm water, and with great effort lifted up Zhao Yuyan's upper body, and brought it to her mouth, "Drink some water."

Zhao Yuyan's throat was so dry that it seemed to be on fire. Countless questions flashed through her mind, such as what happened, why she was still alive, etc.

But at this moment, she could only suppress her doubts temporarily and drink warm water to moisten her throat.

As soon as Yu Ling saw that she had finished drinking, she put the cup down and considerately put the pillow behind her back, allowing her to half sit up.

"The meal that Madam prepared herself is on the table. I'll bring it over."

Yu Ling turned and walked away after she finished speaking. Zhao Yuyan opened her mouth behind her, but then closed it helplessly because her throat was very dry and it hurt so much to speak a word that she couldn't open her mouth at all.

In fact, she wanted to say no, it was too wasteful. She was dying and there was no need to waste food by eating.

The air was filled with the strong aroma of medicine and rice. Zhao Yuyan didn't know if it was an illusion, but after eating, she really felt a lot more energetic.

I thought that this last burst of energy couldn't possibly be that powerful.

Zhao Yuyan thought she had reached the finish line, so she ate lunch, drank some medicinal soup, and even took a nap. She was still alive until she finished her dinner in the evening.

This made her wonder. From her calm attitude towards death just now to her current panic, was she still dead or not?

Yu Ling was unaware of Zhao Yuyan's feelings, because at the moment she was on her way to find Xiao Guo, and the purpose of this trip was to thank her in person.

At dawn, she found that her mother's body temperature was very low and cold, and her forehead was covered with sweat and her face was pale. She was so scared that she immediately panicked and ran to find their manager. Unexpectedly, the manager didn't care at all. He just said that she was dead and buried her. Then he went back to the house to catch up on his sleep, yawning.

Yu Ling had no choice but to shamelessly go to Xiao Guo and ask for her help.

Unexpectedly, after she said this, the other party agreed without hesitation and personally helped her find a doctor and prepare Chinese medicine.

Their manager was not a kind person either, so he certainly would not leave any food for them. Just when Yuling was worrying about lunch, Xiaoguo came in like a god with a tray of food. It turned out that he was worried that the two of them would have no food, so he went to the kitchen himself and made some food for them.

Before leaving, she left a message, telling Yuling that she could come to her at any time if she had any problems. After seeing Yuling nod, she left with satisfaction.

Yuling was panting because she was walking so fast. The closer she got to her residence, the brighter the light of gratitude in her eyes became.

She shouldn't have come to bother her so late, but she really wanted to thank her in person. She had been worried about her mother during the day and had no time to look for her, so when her mother had just gone to bed at night, she came to look for her regardless of her tiredness.

Xiao Guo came out of the house holding a candle and saw Yu Ling with sweat on her head. Her heart skipped a beat. It was quiet outside and everyone was resting at this time. Why did she come here at this time? Did something happen to Zhao Yuyan? !

"What happened to Yuling? Is it your mother..."

"No, no." Yu Ling shook her head anxiously and explained, "My mother is fine. She has fallen asleep."

Xiao Guo let out a breath and nodded. He was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. Seeing Yu Ling's anxious look, he thought something big had happened.

She said that the effect of the thousand-year-old ginseng was not so weak.

"lady."

"Um?"

"thank you!"

Xiao Guo was stunned for a moment, then asked with a smile, "You came here so late just to say thank you to me?"

"Uh-huh!"

Yu Ling smiled and nodded, then thought of something and lowered her head in inferiority, "I don't have anything to give you...but."

"From now on, if you tell me to go east, I will never go west. My mother and I will never forget your life-saving grace. If you need me in the future, I will go through fire and water to help you!"

Yuling was obviously still a child, and her voice was so childish, but Xiaoguo inexplicably felt that Yuling was not joking. He was only helping her with a small favor, but she made such a firm vow.

There was a gleam of gloom in Xiaoguo's eyes. How could she nod? She could only force a smile and neither nodded nor responded.

She did not do what Yuling said about "saving her life". The ginseng only kept Zhao Yuyan alive, allowing her to hold on for a while. She was already at the end of her strength, and her mother would never recover her full health.

Seeing her like this, Yu Ling thought that she didn't believe in herself, so she secretly swore that she must grow up well and become a capable person to repay the lady's kindness.

After refusing Xiaoguo's offer to send her back, Yuling walked into the darkness alone, turning back and waving at her from time to time, until she could no longer see him.

Yu Ling continued running under the moonlight. She did not slow down even though her forehead was sweating, because she still had to go back to accompany her mother.

Xiaoguo leaned against the door frame, quietly looking at Yuling's lonely but strong back, and couldn't help but smile.

Zhao Yuyan, your daughter is much more resilient than you think.

"If you laugh any more, your nose will start to run."
