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

Inside the hospital.

Mu Tiantian leaned against the wall, unable to sleep soundly.

She was plagued by two nightmares. In the dream, her biological parents came to find her and forcibly took her back. Jiang Hui held her hand and cried, tears streaming down her face.

She was also very reluctant to part with Jiang Hui and didn't want to separate from her; they held each other's hands tightly.

But her biological parents forcibly separated her from Jiang Hui.

Jiang Hui watched as she was led into the car, crying as she chased after it.

That scene was too cruel.

Even in her sleep, her brows were tightly furrowed.

The scene shifts to Fu Zhengting.

A beam of light shone behind Fu Zhengting, as if a grim reaper was about to take him away.

She tried desperately to grab it, but she couldn't hold on no matter what she did.

Watching the person you love disappear like a lonely ghost is truly terrifying.

She opened her eyes abruptly in fright, her heart pounding wildly.

Not seeing Xiao Hailan, she ignored the pain in her foot, stood up, and limped towards the intensive care unit.

I slept for too short a time and woke up suddenly feeling weak and even more tired.

At this moment, the attending physician came over and saw that Mu Tiantian was having so much difficulty walking, so he helped her inside.

Xiao Hailan had a lot to say to her son, but when she saw the doctor helping Mu Tiantian in, she had to put aside her thoughts, get up and go over to help Mu Tiantian when the doctor released her.

Mu Tiantian asked the attending physician who examined Fu Zhengting, "Doctor, how is he? Is he showing any signs of waking up?"

As she spoke, she stared at Fu Zhengting on the bed, his exposed lips were frighteningly pale.

After a thorough examination, the attending physician replied, "There's nothing at the moment. Please continue to wait patiently."

Mu Tiantian's eyes reddened; she was terrified that the nightmare would come true.

She couldn't sleep peacefully until Fu Zhengting woke up.

Seeing Mu Tiantian's strong expression as she tried so hard to hold back her tears, Xiao Hailan, even though she herself was already feeling terrible, still tried to comfort her optimistically, "Tiantian, let's go out. You should get a good night's sleep and not think about anything..."

Mu Tiantian sniffed and obediently nodded, not letting the tears in her eyes fall.

At this moment, she didn't want to think about the worst-case scenario.

Xiao Hailan helped Mu Tiantian out. She hadn't slept all night, and with the jet lag from coming back from abroad, her body wasn't adjusting quickly enough. The light was particularly bright, and her eyes were very sore. She yawned twice in a row. She needed to sleep for a few hours.

She asked Mu Tiantian for Jiang Hui's ward number and helped Mu Tiantian to take the elevator.

Just as the two entered the elevator, Ling Jieyu arrived with Xia Guiying.

Ling Jieyu figured Mu Tiantian would be in the ICU, so he came here directly and also to check on Fu Zhengting.

When he arrived outside the intensive care unit, he didn't see Mu Tiantian, and he frowned slightly.

Given how affectionate Mu Tiantian and Fu Zhengting were, he figured Mu Tiantian would stay by his side every step of the way, waiting for news.

Isn't there that much love?

He saw the attending physician come out and went over to ask, "How is Fu Zhengting?"

The attending physician also saw the trending topics online and knew that Fu Zhengting was the person in the trending topic. He replied truthfully, "He is not completely out of danger and needs to be observed to see if he can wake up this afternoon."

Ling Jieyu briefly described Mu Tiantian's characteristics and then asked the doctor if he had seen Mu Tiantian.

The attending physician glanced around but didn't see anyone. He adjusted his glasses and replied, "She was just here a moment ago, she probably went back to rest."

Ling Jieyu planned to visit Jiang Hui in her hospital room.

When I went with Han Qikai to see Jiang Hui, I learned Jiang Hui's ward number from Han Qikai.

He helped Jiang Hui to wait for the elevator.

Xia Guiying turned her head and glanced at the intensive care unit, then asked Ling Jieyu, "Ayu, is Fu Zhengting, whom you just asked about, Fu Zhenlong's son?"

Because she doesn't like going online, she didn't know about the trending topics about Fu Zhengting's injury.

Ling Jieyu nodded.

"What's wrong with him?" Xia Guiying asked curiously.

Although she didn't understand business and wasn't very clear about the past grievances between Fu Zhenlong and Qin Dongyang, she scoffed at Fu Zhenlong's malicious reporting.

Qin Dongyang is a very loyal person who is especially good to his brothers. He always thinks of his brothers when there are any benefits, and treats Fu Zhenlong like a brother. Unexpectedly, Fu Zhenlong stabbed him in the back.

At first, she quite liked Fu Zhengting, thinking he was a very outstanding boy. However, because of Fu Zhenlong, she gradually came to dislike Fu Zhengting as well.

If we really want to investigate, then Fu Zhenlong is the real culprit.

If he hadn't maliciously reported her, Qin Dongyang wouldn't have become irritable because of business matters, wouldn't have argued with her so frequently, and Xiao Ruohan wouldn't have gotten lost.

Because of Fu Zhenlong's jealousy, Qin Dongyang and she have lived in guilt and pain for so many years.

A failed business can be recovered, but a lost daughter is hard to find, and even if she is found, it's difficult to make up for the lost time and affection.

Now that Fu Zhengting is injured, she feels particularly gratified.

Fu Zhenlong's retribution has finally come!

The retribution fell on Fu Zhenlong's only son, which was more cruel to Fu Zhenlong than the retribution had fallen on him.

If Fu Zhengting dies after she and Xiao Ruohan recognize each other, that would be wonderful!

However, she is now very curious about one thing.

Just now, when Ayu asked about Mu Tiantian, the doctor's words meant that Mu Tiantian stayed up all night here to watch over Fu Zhengting.

To be able to do this, one must have a very deep relationship with Fu Zhengting.

If this Mu Tiantian really is Xiao Ruohan...

She couldn't even imagine what would happen next.

Ling Jieyu told Xia Guiying the information he had learned from the news. Judging from Xia Guiying's reaction, he knew that Xia Guiying hated Fu Zhengting.

He felt sorry for Fu Zhengting because he had a father like Fu Zhenlong.

He knew about Fu Zhenlong's scheme to marry Wen Kerou back then.

Now, because of the disgusting things Fu Zhenlong did in the past, Fu Zhengting probably won't be able to get together with Mu Tiantian so easily.

Once Mu Tiantian reunites with her parents and is bound by familial ties, even if she likes Fu Zhengting very much, there will definitely be a barrier between them.

Torn between love and family, it remains to be seen how Mu Tiantian will choose.

The prerequisite is that Fu Zhengting has to wake up.

If Fu Zhengting dies, then Mu Tiantian won't have to suffer the pain of making a choice.

Xia Guiying was shocked and surprised to learn that Fu Zhengting was injured while saving Mu Tiantian and his ex-wife.

Such a heroic and touching act made it impossible for her to hate him.

She was filled with curiosity about the relationship between Mu Tiantian and Fu Zhengting.

No matter what, I have to see Mu Tiantian first.

The elevator doors opened, and she followed Ling Jieyu inside.

As the elevator ascended, she began to feel nervous again.

My heart was pounding faster and faster, like it was being fiddled with.

She was thinking about what to say as the first thing she should say when they met.

Seeing Xia Guiying so tense that her body was taut, Ling Jieyu became tense as well.

Xia Guiying stared at the number of characters rising in the elevator, her hands clenched tightly.

Because of her foot injury, Mu Tiantian walks slowly, and it's a short walk from the elevator to Jiang Hui's ward.

"It's the one right in front of you," she prompted Xiao Hailan, who was supporting her.

Just as Xiao Hailan helped her to the door of the ward, the elevator doors opened, and Ling Jieyu led Xia Guiying out.

Mu Tiantian heard the elevator doors open and habitually glanced over.

She was a little surprised to see that it was Ling Jieyu.

Ling Jieyu met her gaze and was equally surprised.

More surprises than anything else.

What a coincidence!

I can't help but wonder, could it be because of the connection between mother and daughter?

He was about to pull Xia Guiying to hurry over, but Xia Guiying had already quickened her pace the moment she saw Mu Tiantian.

Mu Tiantian's gaze shifted from Ling Jieyu's face to Xia Guiying's.

It seems that Ling Jieyu brought this woman to find her?

Seeing Xia Guiying walking towards her so quickly, and looking excited, she was puzzled and curious, and stared at Xia Guiying's face again.

I am certain that I do not know this person.

She looked to be about the same age as Jiang Hui, but judging from her demeanor, she was probably a wealthy woman. Even though she was older, she was still very well-maintained. Her skin was so white it seemed to glow, her eyebrows looked like they had been tattooed, and the cape she was wearing was fashionable and elegant. Her low-heeled boots also looked to be of very good quality.

Suddenly, a bold conjecture flashed through my mind.

Could this woman be her biological mother?!

Just as she was thinking this, Xia Guiying was already less than two meters away from her.

She withdrew her hand from the ward door and faced Xia Guiying directly.

Xia Guiying was walking too fast and couldn't stop, almost bumping into Mu Tiantian.

Afraid that someone might fall, Mu Tiantian instinctively reached out and supported Xia Guiying's arm.

Xiao Hailan also freed one hand to support Xia Guiying's other arm.

Xia Guiying swallowed hard, managing to calm her wildly beating heart.

They began to examine Mu Tiantian up close.

From the moment I saw Mu Tiantian, my gaze never left her face.

Seeing it up close like this makes it much clearer.

With Mu Tiantian's eyes, she recognized him at a glance.

An excited voice rang out, "Little Ruohan, my precious baby daughter!"

Overwhelmed with emotion, tears instantly welled up in her eyes, and she hugged Mu Tiantian tightly, exclaiming, "Mom has finally found you!"

Xiao Ruohan's facial features haven't changed much; her cheeks are still a bit chubby, and especially her big, dark eyes, which are still as innocent and clear as when she was little.

This is the most obvious feature of Xiao Ruohan's appearance.

Everyone who likes Xiao Ruohan praises her for having a pair of bright, sparkling eyes.

Especially when she cries, the way she looks with tears clinging to her eyelashes is incredibly cute. Even if she does something wrong, it's hard to scold her.

Even if her appearance changes drastically, she will still recognize her.

This kind of blood connection between mother and daughter is truly magical.

That single word, "My dear daughter," encapsulates the bitterness and hardship she endured during her twenty-year search for her.

At first, she did what all parents looking for their children did: she printed Xiao Ruohan's photo on missing person posters and handed them out to people on the street. Later, when she still couldn't find her, she would grab people and ask them if they had seen her daughter.

She still couldn't find her, so she stayed at the service area, wondering if her daughter would one day come back to the service area to look for her.

That despair could finally end at this moment.

She hugged Mu Tiantian tightly, her tears wetting Mu Tiantian's neck.

Xiao Hailan was pushed to the side and almost fell.

Fortunately, she reacted quickly and steadied herself. Fearing that Mu Tiantian might fall, she held onto Mu Tiantian's arm even as she was pushed aside.

But she wasn't angry. As a woman herself, she could feel the power of maternal love emanating from Xia Guiying.

She moved back a bit, making enough room for Xia Guiying to hold Mu Tiantian while ensuring that Mu Tiantian wouldn't fall.

However, she was very curious.

Doesn't Tian Tian already have a biological mother? Who is this woman who suddenly appeared?

Mu Tiantian could also feel the maternal power emanating from Xia Guiying. She didn't know how to react. She couldn't bring herself to push her away, but she also couldn't bring herself to respond to or comfort her.

She stood there, letting Xia Guiying hold her.

Standing behind Xia Guiying, Ling Jieyu was deeply moved by this heartwarming scene.

Xia Guiying was so excited that she shouted "My dear baby daughter!" loudly, which startled Jiang Hui, who was suffering from nightmares in the ward.

Jiang Hui opened her eyes groggily, unsure whether she was dreaming or in reality.

She dreamt again that Sweetie's biological parents came and took Sweetie back home.

What you fear most is what is most likely to happen.

She blinked and looked at the closed door.

It seems like Sweetie's biological mother has come looking for her!

I knew this day would come sooner or later, but I didn't expect it to come so soon.

She really wanted to get out of bed, open the door, and see what her sweet biological mother looked like.

She looks rather unfriendly, doesn't she look like Tian Tian?

But she held back.

She lacked the courage and was afraid to face it.

She chose to pretend to be asleep and eavesdrop through the door.

Mu Tiantian glanced at the closed hospital room door. Her first thought was: If it really was her biological mother who came, would Jiang Hui, her adoptive mother, feel bad if she heard this?

Xia Guiying realized her lapse in composure and, fearing she might frighten Mu Tiantian, released her.

Seeing that her daughter was still alive and well in this world, she smiled with relief and joy.

Looking her up and down again, it's true what they say, girls change a lot as they grow up; Xiao Ruohan has blossomed into such a graceful young woman.

Although her clothes were ordinary, her demeanor was extraordinary.

No wonder Ah Yu said that his temperament is very special; temperament can greatly enhance one's appearance.

Her figure is just right, neither too fat nor too thin, and her cheeks are still a little chubby. She looks both spirited and blessed.

Her hands couldn't help but fall onto Mu Tiantian's face, cupping it and continuing to examine it with great care.

Judging from her figure, she must have been eating well and hadn't gone hungry, so she could rest assured.

But as she looked around, she finally realized something was wrong.

Mu Tiantian's hair showed signs of being burned, and she seemed to have an injury on her foot and couldn't stand steadily.

She immediately became worried and nervous.

"My dear daughter, what happened to your foot? Is it injured?"

Mu Tiantian felt very uncomfortable with Xia Guiying's warm concern.

She didn't know how to respond.

My feelings are complicated.

She desperately wanted to know if the woman in front of her was her biological mother, but she also didn't want to know.

Knowing this meant that she would have to separate from Jiang Hui in the future.

Ling Jieyu noticed Mu Tiantian's embarrassment and awkwardness, and prompted, "Mu Tiantian, I know you must have a lot of questions right now. I brought Aunt Xia here to answer them. If you want to know if you are related to Aunt Xia by blood, come with me and let the nurse draw your blood..."
