Chapter 225 Going Home
"mom--"
Riemann cried out and rushed over to hug her mother's frail body tightly.
Zhang Yan hugged her back, trembling with excitement.
She sobbed uncontrollably, patting Riemann's back: "You're finally back... Mom has waited for you for eleven years... How could you be so heartless... You haven't called us once all these years, your father missed you so much he couldn't eat... He lost weight rapidly after you left..."
"Mom...I'm sorry...I was wrong...You can hit me...I was wrong..."
Overwhelmed with guilt, Riemann cried as she released her mother's embrace and slowly knelt down before her.
She was young and naive before, only thinking about love and neglecting family ties. She ignored her parents' feelings and insisted on being with Huang Dehan. Now she really knows she was wrong.
Zhang Yan held onto Li Man's arm tightly, crying as she said, "Get up, child... Your father is waiting for you. Go see him quickly. He's been talking about you these past few days. I had no other choice but to call you..."
Zhang Yan both loves and hates her daughter. She hates her for being so heartless, not having called home once in all these years.
Riemann then stood up, picked up her luggage, and helped her mother into the hospital.
Touching her daughter's rough hands, Zhang Yan couldn't stop the tears from flowing. Before, at home, she wouldn't even let Li Man wash the dishes; her hands were soft and white, and she herself was radiant. But now...
She truly regretted spoiling her daughter so much, letting her not know the hardships of life, and only having a fairytale-like love in her heart.
Everyone says that daughters should be raised in luxury so they won't be swindled away by a man's handbag, and she firmly believes this and does just that.
However, she did not expect that because her daughter had grown up in a privileged environment, she did not consider the family background of her boyfriend, nor did she have any requirements for his material conditions; she only valued feelings.
She was easily deceived by a man's sweet talk.
This was something she really hadn't expected.
Upon arriving at the ward, Li Man saw her father lying on the bed, covered in various medical devices, emaciated and skin and bones. She instantly broke down, kneeling before his bedside and crying out, "Dad... I'm back... I'm back... I'm sorry... I'm so sorry..."
Li Liangsheng slowly opened his eyes. When he saw Li Man, his eyes instantly welled up with tears. He opened his mouth with difficulty and murmured, "Manman... Manman..."
Her hands, resting on the blanket, trembled incessantly.
Li Man immediately crawled forward on her knees and tightly grasped her father's hands, which were so thin they were just bones.
"Dad...Dad..."
Riemann was sobbing that she couldn't speak.
"Manman...it's good that you're back...it's good that you're back..."
Tears streamed down Li Liangsheng's face as he trembled and stroked Li Man's hair. "You've lost weight... Manman... You've suffered so much... You've lost weight..."
"Dad...I'm sorry...I was wrong...You can hit me...I really know I was wrong..."
Li Liangsheng wiped away his daughter's tears with trembling hands, "You...you're too willful...you've been spoiled by your mother..."
"Dad... I'm sorry... Hit me, please... I'll never do it again... I'll stay by your side from now on... I won't go anywhere else..."
Li Liangsheng's eyes darted around, as if searching for something, and he asked in a hoarse voice, "Where's Huang Dehan? Where's the child?"
