Shen Zhihuan always believed that most parents in the world would choose to love their children.
Shen Ling is a living example right in front of us. If she weren't not their biological daughter, how could Shen Yongcai and Fang Qiaolan have been so willing to treat her that way?
Speaking of which, Shen Zhihuan really has to be grateful for her rebirth. If she hadn't had the chance to live again, she probably would have turned into a lump of mud and would never have had the chance to know the truth.
But this time it's different. She's been reborn and returned to the past, and she has the chance to turn everything around.
Shen Zhihuan had already made up her mind. Regardless of whether she was Song Mingqian and Lin Banxia's child, she would protect them and prevent them from dying young.
These parents have already suffered so much in their search for their child; they didn't deserve to end up like this.
The clock hanging on the wall kept turning, and Song Mingqian would look up at it every few words.
Finally, the time arrived, and he excitedly exclaimed:
"It's time for the hospital to open, Banxia, you should take the child downstairs for the diagnostic test right away."
As the two were packing their things to leave, he didn't forget to add one last reminder: "Remember to come back early."
Lin Banxia was both amused and exasperated: "Don't worry, I won't forget you. We'll definitely come back as soon as we finish having our blood drawn."
Under Song Mingqian's expectant gaze, Shen Zhihuan and Lin Banxia left the ward and headed straight for the forensic department in the building in front.
The two arrived the earliest; before the medical staff were even ready, they were already sitting and waiting on the benches outside.
As the only doctor recently invited to help out, Shen Zhihuan is quite well-known among the hospital's medical staff.
When they saw her coming, they all took the initiative to greet her.
"Miss Chen, what brings you to the forensic department?"
Shen Zhihuan exchanged a glance with Lin Banxia beside her and couldn't help but chuckle softly.
"I'm here to take care of something."
The medical staff who asked the question immediately looked enlightened and waved to the two of them.
"Since you're here for an inspection, what are you waiting for? Come in quickly."
"Since no one's around right now, I'll do it for you two first and then submit the samples."
"good."
Shen Zhihuan led Lin Banxia into the house, rolling up her sleeves as if she knew the place well.
When she was having her blood drawn, she had her eyes downcast, staring at the needle in her arm, but Lin Banxia gently took her hand that was resting on her knee.
"Huanhuan, don't be afraid, Mommy is here with you, it doesn't hurt at all."
As Shen Zhihuan felt the warmth emanating from her fingertips, she couldn't help but recall her childhood. Every time, village officials would have to urge her three or four times before Shen Yongcai would agree to vaccinate her, finding it too troublesome.
Moreover, every time she went to the police station, no one was willing to accompany her, so she had to go alone.
All the other children were being held in their mothers' arms, being coaxed gently. Little Chen Zhihuan sat alone on the bench, trying to hold back her tears while quietly comforting herself.
"It doesn't hurt. It's okay even if no one is with Huanhuan. I really don't feel any pain."
But how could you not feel anything when getting an injection or IV drip?
It's just that a child without a mother is like a blade of grass; no one cares for her, and she knows that no one will comfort her if she cries, so she forcibly holds back her tears.
Now that Shen Zhihuan has grown up and is about to get married, she finally understands what it feels like to have her mother accompany her when getting injections.
"It really doesn't hurt."
Lin Banxia didn't hear what she said clearly, and asked eagerly, "Huanhuan, what did you just say?"
“I said.”
Shen Zhihuan raised her face and gave her a particularly bright smile.
"When my mom is with me when I get a shot, I really don't feel any pain."
Lin Banxia instantly understood what she meant, felt a tremor in her heart, and couldn't help but tightly grasp her daughter's wrist, her eyes also reddening as she smiled.
"Yes, I think so too."
-
After the blood is drawn, you have to wait a few days to get the results.
Lin Banxia really wished she could jump over time right away.
Even though her daughter has returned to her side, she can only be addressed as "Auntie," which breaks her heart every time she hears it.
She had too many worries in her heart, and she was also worried that Shen Zhihuan, who needed to change her identity, would feel uncomfortable after the results came out.
He was also worried that Shen Zhihuan might feel resentful that he hadn't been able to stay by her side all these years.
Lin Banxia was restless and anxious all day long, eager to make up for everything, but she was troubled by not having a suitable identity.
Fearing that Shen Zhihuan would worry if she knew, she kept these emotions to herself and didn't say anything.
But how could Shen Zhihuan possibly miss her constantly furrowed brows and worried expression?
After seeing through everything, she specifically talked to Lin Banxia about it, hoping to put her mind at ease.
"Aunt Lin, the results will be available in a few days, so please wait patiently. The most important thing during this time is to take good care of your health."
"No matter what the final outcome is, whether I am your biological daughter or not, it will not affect our relationship. Our two families will be very close in the future."
Lin Banxia nodded repeatedly, looking at Shen Zhihuan's sensible and considerate appearance, she could only feel gratified and heartbroken, and could not say anything else.
While waiting for the results, Shen Zhihuan was actually quite nervous.
To distract herself from thinking about trivial things, she didn't stay idle at home all day. She made a special trip to the school to pick up the things that had been distributed and take them home.
The day after the assessment was completed was the day of military training.
All the good things seemed to come at once, and Shen Zhihuan couldn't wait to see it.
Time flew by in the midst of eager anticipation, and before we knew it, the day for the test results arrived.
Not only Lin Banxia, Song Mingqian, and the Cheng family, but even the Xie family arrived at the hospital early and waited outside the identification department.
"It's a good thing to reunite with family. Zhihuan is such a good child. She deserves more love and care."
With a wave of his hand and a smile, Grandpa Xie began his important speech.
"No matter what the final result is, I'll treat you to a big lunch at a restaurant today to celebrate."
Looking at the Xie family's concerned and loving eyes, Shen Zhihuan felt a warmth in her heart.
"Thank you, Aunt Zhao, Grandpa Xie, and Grandma Xie."
“This child, why are you speaking so formally when we’re all family? There are more than just us who came along today.”
Upon hearing this, Shen Zhihuan couldn't help but show a somewhat surprised expression.
Just as I was about to ask a question, I heard a steady footstep behind me.
