It was the sound of Wang Yuan slapping herself.

Hao Lianlian’s heart ached terribly.

Don’t hit yourself.

She didn’t blame her at all.

So, she pulled out the IV drip and leaned against the wall to walk out.

It was just a short distance, but it made Hao Lianlian break out in a sweat from the pain.

It really hurt.

But she had to go out. She wanted to stop Wang Yuan and prevent her from blaming herself any further.

This wasn’t her fault, and she didn’t hold her responsible.

Never did.

"You silly child." Seeing the wound on her chest bleeding again because she stood up, Wang Yuan said through tears, "I’m not worth this from you."

How could she be fit to be a mother?

If just now, when she accepted Hao Lianlian as her goddaughter, she still had the courage to let Hao Lianlian call her ’Mom’, now, she truly had no such courage.

She felt utterly undeserving.

So, she used the word ’I’.

"Do you not want to acknowledge me?" Hao Lianlian asked in a soft, pained voice.

She reached out to grab Wang Yuan’s clothes, but Wang Yuan was standing a bit far away.

"No, how could I not acknowledge you?" Wang Yuan rushed over and grabbed her hand, sobbing, "My poor daughter, there’s never a moment I don’t think of you. I could never not acknowledge you."

"But I’m not worthy."

She said sadly.

"Let the doctor check your wound first, is it still not healed?" Su Zhan had already arrived, standing by the side, Wang Yuan said hastily.

"Promise." Usually obedient and well-behaved, Hao Lianlian wouldn’t let go, holding her hand stubbornly said.

Promise? Promise what?

Promise not to hit herself again.

"Alright, I promise, I promise." Wang Yuan nodded through her tears.

Only then did Hao Lianlian let go of her hand.

Su Zhan and the nurse came forward, and the others walked out, standing outside.

Wang Yuan leaned on Doctor Xing, covering her mouth as she cried silently.

"Your daughter has been found, you should be happy." Director Xing patted her shoulder, gently said, "Don’t cry."

Wang Yuan nodded.

But she couldn’t stop the tears.

Gu Lingling silently handed her tissues from the side.

She also felt happy for her friend.

Finally, neither of them were the children who were bullied and told that no one wanted them.

Su Ziqiao stood by silently, watching inside anxiously.

"The wound has opened up a bit, bear with it, I have to stitch it up again." Su Zhan said inside, "It’ll hurt a bit, be careful next time, being so impulsive isn’t good for the healing process."

"I don’t want to sleep." Hao Lianlian tugged at the corner of his white coat and said.

She just acknowledged her mother and couldn’t fall asleep.

What if it turned out to be a dream again when she woke up?

"No, I’ll just use local anesthesia." Su Zhan, unaware of her thoughts, said.

Only then did Hao Lianlian let go.

Local anesthesia actually hurt a bit too, but throughout, she never uttered a sound.

Her eyes were filled with joy.

It hurt; the wound really hurt.

But it was this pain that kept her clear-headed, letting her know she wasn’t dreaming.

Everything was real.

It was wonderful.

She finally had a mother.

Hao Lianlian looked up and saw Su Ziqiao foolishly standing by the window, with worried eyes showing. She smiled at him.

Through her gaze, Su Ziqiao understood what she meant.

Yes, you have a mother now; see who dares to bully you, who dares to call you an orphan with no parents?

Su Ziqiao felt like he must be drunk too.

Why did he suddenly feel like crying?
