"No! Lu Ming! Don't go! Don't..."
Lu Ming finally let go of her hand.
She couldn't accept it and shook Lu Ming with all her might, trying to make him open his eyes.
But no matter how much she shook him, Lu Ming never opened his eyes again.
Gu Yao brought the doctor in.
Doctors and nurses began to try to save him.
She was led aside by Gu Yao in a daze.
They say time drags on forever, but at this moment she felt that every second was an eternity.
Every second felt so long.
She kept praying in her heart, determined to save Lu Ming.
However, what awaited them was a death sentence.
The doctor, who was used to seeing life and death, walked over without expression.
"I'm sorry, we did our best. It's a miracle the patient made it this far. He must have fulfilled his wish before he passed away. Please accept our condolences."
After saying that, the doctor left.
The nurses started disassembling the equipment and then pushed it away.
Even though everyone around her was busy, Zhou Chunhua couldn't see anyone.
In her eyes, there was only Lu Ming lying quietly on the bed.
Zhou Chunhua didn't even know how she got back to the ward.
To be honest, she couldn't even remember how she left Lu Ming's hospital room.
That memory just vanished into thin air.
Back in the ward, Gu Yao poured her a glass of water.
"Before he came to Qing'an, he entrusted his mother to you, which means he knew that there might be no turning back. It was all predestined, so don't blame yourself too much."
Behind you are Tongtong, Nini, Yangyang's dad, and so many others. If you fall, it won't just be one or two people who are crushed, but a whole group.
Cheer up, you still have a lot to do! If Lu Ming were alive, he wouldn't want to see you like this.
Zhou Chunhua slowly turned her head and looked at the two children who had been standing beside her hospital bed.
Yes! She promised Tongtong that she would bring back news of his mother.
After much deliberation, she forced herself to smile and said to Tongtong, "Don't worry, Tongtong, your mother is fine. She just... just got separated from us."
Be a good girl, and Mommy will definitely come to pick you up and take you home.
She simply couldn't bring herself to tell an eight-year-old child that his mother was dead.
She knows that even a white lie is still a lie, but she just can't do it!
However, to Zhou Chunhua's surprise, Tongtong suddenly grabbed her hand and said, "Auntie, it's okay. I knew Mom was dead because she didn't come back with you."
Zhou Chunhua's eyes widened upon hearing this.
Even Gu Yao, who was standing next to him, had a look of confusion in his eyes.
"Tong, Tong, you..."
Tongtong shook her head: "It's okay, really! When I was very young, my mother told me that if one day I lifted the blanket and she was cold, I shouldn't be sad for her, but should smile and bless her that she was finally free."
Mom said she was just too tired and wanted to sleep a little longer. "Auntie, Uncle Gu, don't worry, I promised Mom I would be a responsible man and wouldn't cry easily."
At this point, Tongtong's eyes had turned as red as a little white rabbit's.
His small body was trembling, and his voice was rising and falling.
This sense of heartbreak struck Zhou Chunhua's heart.
She turned to Gu Yao and asked, "Where are my clothes?"
Gu Yao took out the clothes she wore in Ganxi Village from the bottom box of the bedside table.
She took out the peach bracelet from her purse and tied it to Tongtong's wrist.
Tongtong, with her head down, finally couldn't hold back her tears.
They didn't disturb Tongtong; they just stayed quiet and didn't make a sound.
Later, it was Nini who led Tongtong to the inner room.
The moment the door closed, Tongtong's crying began.
"She Yalan and her gang..."
"Captain Qin said it was too late; the person wasn't caught."
Zhou Chunhua gripped the blanket with her fists even tighter.
"Don't worry. Captain Qin said he will do his best to make them float this time. Leave the rest to us."
Zhou Chunhua nodded.
She Yalan has already run away; there's nothing more she can do now.
As for the rest, no one but Qin Donglai could help.
"Hua Hua, I have some good news."
Zhou Chunhua immediately looked up.
Gu Yao suddenly handed her a bowl of porridge and said, "I'll tell you after you finish the porridge."
She then realized that she couldn't remember when she had her last meal.
She took the porridge, scooped a spoonful, and put it in her mouth.
Not too hot, not too cold, the temperature is just right.
Gu Yao pulled up a chair and sat down beside her bed.
"Old Chen's son has been found."
Suddenly, the spoon in Zhou Chunhua's hand fell into the bowl.
She looked at Gu Yao in disbelief.
Gu Yao picked up a spoon, scooped up a spoonful of porridge, and brought it to her lips.
"Captain Qin said it's already on its way. Judging by the time, it should arrive in Qing'an in another day or two."
"real?"
Gu Yao nodded.
"In addition, several children were also found at the same time. Captain Qin has contacted their parents and will conduct paternity tests to confirm the blood relationship. After that, the children will be returned to their parents."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Chunhua finally showed her first smile in almost a week.
“And…” Gu Yao’s expression suddenly turned serious.
The smile that hadn't faded from Zhou Chunhua's face froze on the spot.
"What's wrong?"
Gu Yao looked at her for a long time, took a deep breath, and then said, "This time, they also dug up the remains of many children from the garden of that villa."
