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

Mu Tiantian looked at Xia Guiying beside her with a worried expression.

She didn't know how to bring it up with Jiang Hui.

Hopefully, Jiang Hui will be asleep and unwakeful, so that we can buy some time for the next night.

She was really afraid of seeing Jiang Hui sad.

Turning my gaze to the lights in the distance through the car window, I couldn't help but wonder, was Jiang Hui asleep so late? Or was she still waiting outside the intensive care unit with Aunt Fu?

Jiang Hui's side.

Everyone is still waiting outside the intensive care unit; no one wants to leave.

Jiang Hui's eyes were sore from exhaustion, but she still didn't go back to her ward to rest.

Xiao Hailan couldn't bear to watch any longer. Fearing that not getting enough rest would affect her health, she forcibly helped Jiang Hui back to her ward, regardless of whether she wanted to or not.

Back in the empty ward, Jiang Hui felt even more uneasy.

Xiao Hailan helped her lie down and sleep.

Jiang Hui looked towards the kitchen, recalling the scene of Qin Fei and Han Qikai trying to please her before. She twitched the corners of her mouth. How lively it was back then. Now that it's so quiet, her mind is prone to wandering.

She asked Xiao Hailan in a low voice, "Alan, do you think Tiantian is used to being with her biological parents? I wonder if Tiantian is sleeping?"

I'm afraid that Tian Tian will be worried about what's happening here and won't sleep either.

"You'll definitely feel uncomfortable at first. Okay, stop thinking about Tian Tian and Ashen. Go to sleep now." Xiao Hailan pulled the blanket up to cover Jiang Hui.

Jiang Hui tried to close her eyes, but she just couldn't fall asleep.

She is someone who tends to overthink things.

Xiao Hailan knew how painful insomnia was, and couldn't bear to pressure Jiang Hui. She asked, "Would you like the on-call doctor to prescribe some sleep aids? Or maybe you could just take sleeping pills?"

Jiang Hui shook her head, "I'm getting old, and I'll fall asleep automatically when I really can't take it anymore."

She squeezed Xiao Hailan's hand. "Hailan, tell me more about Ah Shen's childhood, like the time Fu Zhenlong took Ah Shen to Tian Tian's 100-day celebration!"

Xiao Hailan recalled the scene again and still felt it was magical. "Now I believe in the saying that fate is predetermined. Back then, when Ashen was looking at Tian Tian who was less than six months old, he certainly couldn't have imagined that the little girl would become the woman he loved most in his life."

"I really want to travel back in time and see it for myself!" Jiang Hui exclaimed with a smile.

"If only I could travel through time, I would definitely go back to when Ah Shen was a child and be a gentle and loving mother." Xiao Hailan couldn't help but sigh.

The atmosphere became heavy when this topic was brought up.

Xiao Hailan didn't want to continue.

Dwelling on the past will only plunge her into a quagmire of guilt; she must look forward.

She started asking about Mu Tiantian's disappearance years ago, "Alan, I remember the missing person notice from Qin Dongyang and his wife said that Tiantian got lost at a service area. Did you find Tiantian at a service area?"

Jiang Hui was surprised to learn this information.

She shook her head and said, "No, I found it by the roadside when I went to the market to buy vegetables in my ex-husband's rural hometown."

She began to recount the situation in detail, "Sweetie was crying really hard at the time. When I went up to her to ask her what was wrong, she resisted and waved her hands at me, not letting me get close..."

After hearing the whole story, Xiao Hailan made a judgment.

"Tian Tian was definitely taken away by human traffickers at a service area. Maybe Tian Tian realized that the traffickers were bad people, so she deliberately cried a lot, or maybe Tian Tian was scared and cried like that. The traffickers thought it was too noisy, and since she was a girl, she might not be that valuable, so they abandoned Tian Tian halfway. Or maybe she was in the car at the time, and Tian Tian struggled free and fell out..."

Jiang Hui agreed with Xiao Hailan's guess.

After much thought, this guess is the one that best fits the situation at the time.

"When Tian Tian brings her parents to see you, you should go to the police station with them and explain the situation. You must find out how Tian Tian got lost from the service area. Maybe we can catch the traffickers' accomplices," Xiao Hailan suggested.

She gritted her teeth with hatred when she talked about human traffickers.

Human traffickers are so vicious and despicable; so many families have been torn apart because their children have been abducted.

It's good that Qin Dongyang has become rich; with his connections, he can definitely solve the mystery of Tian Tian's disappearance quickly if he cooperates with the police.

Families who go bankrupt searching for their children are in dire straits. They fear that after spending all their money, they will also suffer health problems and still not find their children.

Sweetie is lucky.

Although he was separated from his biological parents for twenty years, at least he was not abused. Instead, he received maternal love from Jiang Hui that was even more precious than that from his biological mother.

Jiang Hui also hated human traffickers with a vengeance. "We must find out the truth, and it would be best to arrest and execute all those human traffickers."

If Sweetie hadn't been lucky enough to meet her, who knows what her fate would have been?

"I wonder if Tian Tian has any memory at all? If Tian Tian can remember what someone looks like, that would be a great help to the police in solving the case." Xiao Hailan couldn't help but look forward to it.

"I was too young then, I definitely don't remember," Jiang Hui said confidently.

As she spoke, she picked up her phone, opened the photo album, and showed Xiao Hailan photos of Mu Tiantian from that time. She joked, "But Tiantian was quite smart. When I asked her how old she was, she knew she was three years old back then."

Xiao Hailan couldn't help but laugh when she looked at Mu Tiantian's chubby face when she was little.

"When Ah Shen was little, his cheeks were chubby and he was very cute. But after he turned three, his cheeks weren't as chubby."

Chubby babies are the cutest; they're so soft and squishy to pinch.

Actually, looking at her son's cute and adorable appearance, she sometimes really wanted to hug and kiss him.

At that time, she harbored too much resentment towards Fu Zhenlong, and no matter how adorable her son was, she still resented him.

She suddenly became very curious about a question, "Ah Hui, when did Tian Tian start relying on you?"

A strange smile appeared in Jiang Hui's eyes. "She quickly started treating me like her own mother, within a week. Children don't feel safe. Back then, Tian Tian was afraid I would take her to the police station, so she worked extra hard. Wherever I went, she followed. She was only three years old. When I went to the field to plant sweet potatoes, she followed me and even carried water for me..."

In the end, Jiang Hui shook her head and laughed.

"Sweetie is such a sweet little girl, so sensible and smart." Xiao Hailan smiled too, the more she learned about Mu Tiantian, the more she liked her.

"And Tian Tian's inherent boldness and heroic spirit are very much like a man's." As Jiang Hui spoke, she suddenly remembered something interesting, "There was a really fierce shrew in my ex-husband's village. She would curse at me and even try to hit me in order to claim territory. Tian Tian was definitely not happy about that. At that time, Tian Tian was herding cattle, so she led the cattle to bump into that shrew."

That cow had been raised by my ex-husband for a long time. Its horns were extremely sharp, and if it went berserk, it could kill someone. Moreover, the cow was pregnant at the time, making it prone to going berserk. Even the fiercest tigress was afraid of a cow. She cursed and swore, wanting to hit Sweetie but not daring to get close. In the end, she was blown away by the cow and rolled into the ditch in the field. It was both satisfying and hilarious…”

Xiao Hailan couldn't help but laugh when she imagined that scene.
