Addiction sets in at night; even the abstinent older man has fallen for it.

Jiang Hui felt a jolt in her heart when she was asked the question.

Why did you ask that, Sweetie?

Did Sweetie overhear something?!

She was initially a little angry, but then she became uneasy and remorseful.

She was afraid that one day Sweetie would find out the truth and blame her for keeping it from her for so long, so she didn't know how to bring it up.

She suppressed her nervousness and asked tentatively, "Sweetie, why do you ask that?"

Mu Tiantian could tell that Jiang Hui was nervous. She really wanted to take this opportunity to ask, but her mother was so nervous that she couldn't bear to.

She's already exhausted by Fu Zhengting's situation, and she doesn't want to worry about her background for now.

If Fu Zhengting wakes up, then she will ask her mother.

If Fu Zhengting doesn't wake up, she'll pretend she knows nothing and continue living with her mother as before.

She didn't want to lose the two people she loved most all at once.

She made up an excuse and replied, "I was just asking casually. I'm in a bad mood because of Ah Shen's injury, and Mom, you scolded me, so I got a little emotional."

Jiang Hui breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Tian Tian wasn't in front of her and couldn't see her nervousness.

But she still felt a little uneasy.

"Mom is angry that you kept such a big thing from me. Ah Shen is my savior."

She paused for a moment, then comforted her, "Sweetie, don't be pessimistic. Mom was able to escape from the clutches of death, so someone as good as Ashen can definitely do it too."

With Jiang Hui's comfort, Mu Tiantian gained some confidence.

"Mom, I'm almost back at the hospital. Let's talk when we meet."

"Okay, Mom will wait for you."

Only after hanging up the phone did Jiang Hui dare to relax.

But eventually, I had to talk to Tian Tian and make things clear.

She needs to get used to it in advance.

Seeing Qian Zhikun looking at her probingly, she put on a faint smile to cover her embarrassment.

Everyone has forgotten that Dean Qian is still here.

Qian Zhikun felt that Jiang Hui's reaction just now was strange, but he didn't want to gossip, so he stopped investigating, told Jiang Hui to get some rest and said he had to go take care of something before leaving.

As Qian Zhikun walked out of the ward, Jiang Hui reminded him again, "If anything happens to A-Shen, be sure to tell me immediately."

After Qian Zhikun left, the ward returned to silence, but her unease deepened.

He took out a string of Buddhist prayer beads from the drawer of the table, and began to turn the beads while silently reciting the Book of Songs to pray for Fu Zhengting.

After hanging up Jiang Hui's call, Mu Tiantian looked out the car window and fell into a sadness she had never felt before.

My mind replayed all the moments I shared with my mother over the years. Although life was tough, I felt happy and content as long as my mother and I were together, safe and healthy.

Some classmates would boast to her about how amazing their parents were and how rich their families were, but she never felt envious.

She doesn't feel inferior because her mother is a cleaner; she's always been proud to have a mother who understands her and truly loves her.

But now that I know this mother isn't my biological mother, I don't know how to describe the pain I feel.

Zhang Huamei sensed Mu Tiantian's sadness, a sadness that seemed different from the sadness she felt before hanging up the phone.

She asked with concern, "What's wrong, Sweetie?"

Mu Tiantian shook her head. "It's nothing."

Thinking of the abandoned children in the orphanage, I can't help but wonder if her biological parents also abandoned her because she had some kind of birth defect.

If that's the case, she won't acknowledge them.

Let them be dead, and never see them again.

While I was thinking, the car stopped in front of the hospital.

Zhang Huamei wanted to go back to the orphanage to see if the investigation results were out and what caused the explosion.

Only by thoroughly investigating the matter can we prevent future tragedies from happening again and serve as a warning to other places where similar problems exist.

The next steps involve rebuilding the orphanage and resettling the children; just thinking about it is exhausting.

However, since the news has become a trending topic, if there is really no other way, we will rely on the power of the media to ask for donations from all sectors.

In short, she will not give up because of this setback.

She asked Uncle Zhong to take her to the orphanage.

Mu Tiantian wanted to go along; she was also eager to know how the fire had happened.

Zhang Huamei couldn't bear to see Mu Tiantian go through all that trouble, so she declined her offer, saying, "Tiantian, you should go to the hospital and stay with your mother. Let's wait together for the good news that President Fu will wake up."

Mu Tiantian thought that it would be inconvenient for her to go with her injured foot, and she would only be a burden to Dean Zhang.

Zhang Huamei knew what Mu Tiantian was concerned about, and she assured her, "Tiantian, don't worry, I will definitely make sure the police find out the cause of the fire, and I won't let President Fu, you, and Kerou get hurt for nothing."

Mu Tiantian smiled and encouraged Zhang Huamei, saying, "Let's not dwell on what happened. We'll all work together to help you with the reconstruction of the orphanage and the resettlement of the children."

Zhang Huamei was deeply moved, and all her fatigue seemed to disappear.

She knew she wasn't fighting alone.

Mu Tiantian got out of the car, and Zhang Huamei and Uncle Zhong wanted to see her upstairs before leaving.

Mu Tiantian didn't want to trouble the two of them, so she limped a few steps to show them that she was fine.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Zhang Huamei didn't want to waste any more time and stopped insisting.

Uncle Zhong knew that Mu Tiantian was not a weak woman. Seeing that Mu Tiantian could walk with a limp, he also wanted to find out the cause of the fire as soon as possible, so he started the car and drove away.

Mu Tiantian watched the car drive away before turning around.

Some reporters who had been waiting outside the hospital had not yet left.

Remembering that she had been photographed here last time, Mu Tiantian was afraid of being recognized by reporters, so she lowered her head and quickened her pace to go inside.

Once she went inside, the reporter realized that her back looked very familiar.

Huo Qijun, who then drove back, saw so many reporters at the entrance and drove his car to the underground parking garage.

When they arrived at the garage, they found Wen Kerou still asleep. Since she was sleeping so soundly, they decided to let her sleep a little longer, as waking her up might make it difficult for her to fall back asleep.

He picked up his phone, opened his wife's photo, and stroked her through the screen, silently reciting the wish he had made at the temple.

When Mu Tiantian arrived at the ward door, she hesitated, remembering the phone call she had with her mother not long ago.

She didn't want this to ruin her relationship with her mother.

Whether she is biologically related or not is not important; what matters is that her mother truly loves her, and that's enough.

With that thought in mind, she smiled and pushed open the door to go inside.

Jiang Hui was still silently reciting the Book of Songs to pray for Fu Zhengting.

She opened her eyes when she heard the door open and saw that Mu Tiantian had finally returned.

When she hung up the phone, she was worried about how to face Tian Tian when she came back.

She was afraid that Mu Tiantian would see through her guilty conscience.

Mu Tiantian suppressed her curiosity and, as usual, affectionately hugged Jiang Hui's arm. "Mom, your health has finally recovered so well. I was really afraid you wouldn't be able to handle the blow, so I didn't dare tell you. I hope you won't be angry."

Jiang Hui enjoyed Mu Tiantian's dependent and coquettish behavior. She carefully examined Mu Tiantian, but couldn't see anything unusual. She put aside her unease and lovingly touched Mu Tiantian's face. "Silly Tiantian, Mom has been through hell and back. I'm not so fragile now."

I really hope that Ashen can also come back from the brink of death.

She couldn't feel at ease without seeing Ah Shen.

She said to Mu Tiantian, "Tiantian, Ah Shen's family shouldn't be watching over him anymore, right? Why don't you take Mom to see him?"
