Lin Banxia gently lay down on the hospital bed and took Song Mingqian's hand.
As we had done countless times before, we held hands and whispered intimately to each other.
"I know you're a staunch materialist, but who can say that what's happening now isn't God's arrangement?"
"No matter what, I will take good care of our daughter. The feeling of separation is too painful, and I will never experience it again in my life."
When her daughter was taken away by human traffickers, it almost cost her her life.
If the same thing happened a second time, Lin Banxia would truly lose the will to live.
As she spoke, Lin Banxia felt a lump in her throat and couldn't help but start crying again.
"I've said so much to you, why don't you respond to me at all? When we were together, you used to love talking to me the most."
She spoke with a heavy nasal tone, as if complaining or being coquettish.
“I can’t wait any longer. You have to wake up quickly and come with me to fulfill our vow. Over the years, I don’t even remember how many times I’ve prayed to the Bodhisattva in order to find my daughter as soon as possible.”
"Now that our dream has finally come true, we must go and burn incense for the Bodhisattva, so that she can bless our family to live together peacefully and never be separated again."
Lin Banxia knew that Song Mingqian wouldn't wake up so easily.
She didn't expect him to answer her; she just wanted to find an outlet for her pent-up emotions.
She talked on and on for a long time, sometimes crying and sometimes laughing.
I feel both excited and nervous about what will happen tomorrow.
As they were talking, a tear that had been hanging on Lin Banxia's eyelashes for a long time dripped gently onto the back of Song Mingqian's hand as she lowered her head.
The person who had been completely unresponsive suddenly twitched their eyelashes.
Just as Lin Banxia was about to think she was seeing things, Song Mingqian actually opened his eyes and looked at her.
"Wife, don't cry."
He had been unconscious for so long that he had no strength left in his body.
But she still gritted her teeth and raised her hand to wipe away Lin Banxia's tears.
His deep eyes were filled with tenderness and affection for his wife.
Song Mingqian spoke slowly and deliberately, as if it were a great effort.
"Did I do something wrong that made you angry?"
Seeing you like this makes me feel even worse, so please don't cry, okay?
Lin Banxia grasped his hand that was resting on her face, choking back tears and unable to speak.
"I cried not because I was sad, but because I was too happy."
While comforting Song Mingqian, she happily pressed the button on the wall to call the attending physician over.
Upon learning that Song Mingqian had regained consciousness, all the medical staff breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's good that he's awake. What we were most worried about was that the blood clot in Comrade Song's head would compress his nerves. Now that he's awake, it means he's out of danger."
"Observe them tonight, and do a full check-up tomorrow."
"Okay, thank you, doctor."
Lin Banxia was so excited that she was about to cry again. She quickly wiped her eyes and, after seeing the medical staff off, stayed by the bedside without leaving for a moment.
Seeing Song Mingqian's weak but slightly red eyes, she still couldn't control her emotions.
She had so much to say, and now it all got stuck in her throat, leaving her unsure where to begin.
Lin Banxia could only pick out the most important words to give Song Mingqian.
“I have found our daughter. You should rest well. When she comes tomorrow morning, you will see her.”
"By the way, we also made an appointment to do a kinship test. If the results are true, that would be fantastic news."
Song Mingqian had just woken up. Lin Banxia was afraid that she would talk too much and disturb his rest, so she simply explained a few words and then shut her mouth, still feeling that she hadn't said enough.
But to her surprise, Song Mingqian was even more agitated than she was.
"Is what you're saying true? Our daughter really came back?"
Song Mingqian's voice was so hoarse it sounded like it had just been rubbed with gauze.
But he still struggled to grab Lin Banxia's hand, his eyes shining as he said:
“When I was unconscious, I vaguely saw the shadow of our daughter.”
"At that time, I thought I was just having a bad feeling because I missed you too much. I never thought it was all true. It seems that God is still looking out for our family."
"Of course it's true. In all these years, when have I ever lied to you?"
Lin Banxia glared at Song Mingqian, wanting him to close his eyes and get some rest.
But with the matter on his mind still unresolved, how could Song Mingqian possibly sleep?
"There's no rush to rest. I've already slept for so long, a little longer won't make a difference. More than that, I want to confirm with you whether the person we found is the same one."
Despite his terrible sore throat, Song Mingqian still managed to describe the situation with difficulty, despite his frail health.
"I wasn't very conscious at the time, so I didn't see very clearly. I only remember that the girl was very pretty, and I could see your features and temperament in her."
"Although I was awake very little during this period, I could feel that she was always by my side, and she was the one who was in charge of giving me acupuncture treatment."
“I have a strong intuition that the girl I saw is our Huanhuan.”
Lin Banxia forced back her tears and nodded vigorously.
“We’re seeing the same person. It turns out I’m not the only one who feels this way about her; you feel the same way too. Now we don’t even need a DNA test; we can pretty much confirm that she’s our daughter.”
"By the way, you don't know yet, Huanhuan is really amazing now. Not only is her medical skill exceptional, but she's also about to go to military medical university to study."
"It's such a blessing for both of us to have such an outstanding child."
Lin Banxia's tone was full of emotion as she recalled what Cheng Xiangling had told her about Shen Zhihuan, and she suddenly felt as if she were personally involved in her daughter's life.
“The last time Wanwan had an accident and miscarried, she was hospitalized and almost didn’t make it. It was Huanhuan who saved her.”
Song Mingqian's eyes lit up as he listened, he was overjoyed.
"I never imagined that we would have such a connection. If only I had known that Huanhuan had always been by our side."
"I should have visited her sooner; maybe that would have brought her back to us sooner."
"It's not too late to find them now. The past is the past. I just want our family to stay together forever and never be separated again."
