After hearing what Lina said, Ling felt a little surprised, she grasped the key point.
"Manor... servants... So Lina was a rich girl who lived in a mansion when she was little? Ah, now is not the time to pry into that. Let's get back to Dusula."
"When Grandma rushed out of the video store with Dusula, she was muttering the same thing. It's a reasonable explanation to say it was the [security code]."
Lina nodded after thinking about it, and then based on her mother-in-law's previous behavior and the advertisement that irritated her, Zhe guessed that her mother-in-law's [Dumpling] might have encountered or was encountering an empty threat.
"What exactly does [dumpling] mean... If we don't understand this, it's hard to find the real answer...
However, at least the abandonment incident and the [Wave Ring Trophy] are real, and the [Wave Dumpling] is still an important clue. I will bring it to talk to my mother-in-law again."
After deciding what to do next, Lina suddenly noticed the time and spoke with surprise and a hint of apology.
"Ah. We've been chatting till this late. I'm so sorry to bother you two."
"It's okay. It's still early for us. No need to be so polite."
What Zhe said was true. Even if the other girls didn't come to the video store to spend the night, Ling, Odile, Odette and the others were still at home.
It would take quite some time to satisfy them, but Lina took it as a polite remark.
"No, I will always remember your kindness. I'll bring you some delicious refreshments I made myself to thank you someday~"
"You really don't have to be so polite!"
Zhe was fine, but Ling was a little panicked when she heard this and waved her hands quickly, but Lina seemed not to hear it and continued to speak.
"Then I'll take my leave now. If mother-in-law comes to the store again, please let me know."
After Lina left, Ling looked at her brother with some resentment.
She knew that Zhe could eat Lina's food safely, but the problem was that she still had the physique of an ordinary person and could not do it!
"If Lina really brings some snacks, you brothers will be responsible for eating them all! I won't eat a single bite!"
Ling deliberately emphasized that as for why she said you, it was of course referring to the sisters Odile and Odette.
Maybe it’s because they were originally from the Corpse family, but Lina’s cooking seems to have a special appeal to them.
I don't know if I should say it's delicious. In the words of the sisters, it's the strange and indescribable aroma emanating from the food that makes them feel somewhat happy after eating it...
At first, Zhe was a little worried about this, but considering the sisters' level of vitality, they shouldn't have any problems eating it.
So after checking his body, Zhe was no longer worried. Every time after being entertained by Lina, he would go home and give the things he had put away to the two sisters to deal with.
"Okay, I know, but come to think of it, it seems like it's just the two of us tonight~"
While looking at Ling, Zhe put his arms around her waist and pulled her into his arms.
The others were busy and didn't come, while Odile and Odette took leave today to go back and see their grandfather.
During the rare moment of solitude, Zhe reached out and pinched Ling's little face. Seeing her shy look, he kissed her. The latter also hugged his neck intimately and stood on tiptoe.
Their intimate and loving appearance will surely make people envious...
In the room, bright moonlight shone through the curtains onto the bed. Ling lay tiredly in Zhe's arms, rubbing her little face happily against the latter's chest.
Then he fell asleep peacefully with a smile on his face.
Chapter 398 After tightening her legs, Ling fell asleep
The next morning, there was a promotion at Guangying Shopping Mall, so Zhe sent a message to the two sisters asking them to go there.
He hugged Ling in his arms and prepared to take a nap. It seemed that because they were rarely alone together, the latter was very interested at that time.
In the end, he fell asleep as soon as he straightened his legs, which scared Zhe.
However, just as he was about to put down his phone, he received another message from Lina, asking him if he had seen Grandma Leisa.
The general content was, "I'm on my way to the video store. We'll talk more when we meet. If my mother-in-law arrives before me, please help me keep her. Thank you."
Seeing this, Zhe carefully removed Ling's arm from his neck. Without waking her up, he got dressed, washed up, and went downstairs to wait for Lina's arrival.
Soon after……
"How is it, Mr. Manager, has my mother-in-law ever been to the store?"
"No, what happened?"
Noticing Lina's worried tone, Zhe immediately asked, and the former didn't hold back.
"I received the [Wave Ring] souvenir this morning and wanted to take it directly to my mother-in-law's house, but I found that her house was empty and only the door was open.
The neighbors said that the mother-in-law suddenly made a big fuss late last night, knocking on every door, saying that the void was coming and people had to take shelter quickly, and she wanted to go to Bailang Hospital to save [Tuanzi].
My mother-in-law had been looking for Tuanzi everywhere for several weeks. No one took it seriously and persuaded her to go back home to sleep. In the morning, she was gone.
My mother-in-law often goes out early in the morning to look for Tuanzi, but this is the first time she has left the door unlocked, and the first time she has mentioned [Bailang Hospital], which is a bit unusual.
Lina submitted a search request to the Sheriff's Bureau, and now all she can do is wait for their news. After hearing this, Zhe fell into deep thought.
"Go to Bailang Hospital to rescue Tuanzi... A new clue has appeared... Um, Fairy!"
"[Guess what you might want to see] Today's push notification found information about Bailang Hospital. Bailang Hospital is a well-known large-scale comprehensive hospital in New Ailidu. The earliest news about it can be traced back to 41 years ago when it was forced to relocate due to a cavity disaster."
The information Fairy gave instantly enlightened Zhe. 41 years ago was the same year as the talent show news, and the logo of Bailang Hospital also had a white wave pattern.
"The wave pattern...is it a coincidence...or was this the wrong direction from the beginning...The talent show, the hospital, the waves...there must be some connection between these three that we haven't seen...
Excuse me, Mr. Zhe, I'm going to contact my acquaintances at the hospital to investigate."
Lina seemed to have thought of something, and after explaining it to Zhe, she left quickly.
Not long after, Zhe and Fairy calculated together and guessed that the mother-in-law was most likely to have gone to the old site of Bailang Hospital, which is a cave.
After reaching this conclusion, Zhema immediately shared the news with Lina, whose investigation was almost complete.
Although she could apply to the Sheriff's Bureau to arrange a search, Lina still wanted to find her mother-in-law herself and bring her out.
Without further ado, Zhe set off immediately, and soon after, the two met in the cave.
"From the information I've gathered, I'm convinced that my mother-in-law's [cognitive impairment] has reached its most severe stage... Her memory has declined to the day 41 years ago."
Lina's words surprised Zhe. That day 41 years ago was the day when the [Most Beautiful Lady in the City] withdrew from the competition and Bailang Hospital fell.
These two incidents happened on the same day, and Grandma Leisa happened to be involved in both.
[Tuanzi] is the link between these two things, and it is also the knot that has been entangled in my mother-in-law's heart for 41 years.
The two of them moved forward in the cave, and Lina recounted what happened that year along the way.
41 years ago, Grandma Leisa was about the same age as Lina. At that time, she was a nurse at Bailang Hospital, and her job was to take care of newborns.
Due to the shortage of staff in the hospital, Grandma Leisa has to do the work of two people.
Although she is busy, she likes this job very much. Of course, besides work, my mother-in-law also has other things she wants to do.
When my mother-in-law was young, she had a dream of becoming an actress. In her spare time, she signed up for a talent show, the [Most Beautiful City Miss] contest.
At that time, not only my mother-in-law’s colleagues, but even my mother-in-law herself did not expect that she could go so far.
The mother-in-law became the dark horse of that year, and the judges gave her unexpectedly high scores. In this way, Resha Christie made it to the finals.
But on the day of the finals...
In a corner of the studio, among the many screens broadcasting live broadcasts of a magnificent stage, an old TV was broadcasting urgent news.
That's the cavity disaster alarm that will cover Bailang Hospital!
So, on the screen reflecting the gorgeous stage, the rising star who was about to be crowned...
Without looking back, he ran down the red carpet steps and went to the place in the old TV screen...
"Are the kids okay?... It's broken! The gate is blocked... I remember the emergency exit was there... I found it!"
The baby kept crying, and young Leisa carefully picked it up and comforted it gently.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm here! I will protect you!"
The hospital was shrouded in emptiness, darkness and chaos at that time, and Leisa didn't care about her torn audition dress.
She took off her high heels and ran and climbed barefoot...
Kicking away the blocked obstacles, the panicked mother-in-law couldn't remember all the children's names, so she relied on her memory to find one swaddling cloth after another wrapped with babies.
Those swaddling clothes were all printed with the unique wave pattern of Bailang Hospital, and they were still laughing heartily in the hollow...
The swaddling clothes with drool all over the neck...
The swaddle that cries especially loudly...
"This is the [Naniwa Dumpling] that Grandma has been looking for..."
Lina's tone was full of emotion, and Zhe finally understood everything after hearing this.
"I think [Cognitive Erosion Sequelae] was contracted around that time..."
"Ah."
Lina responded softly, and at this moment, Fairy detected signs of life in front.
The two quickened their pace and finally met Grandma Leisa here, who seemed to be looking for something.
"We found my mother-in-law. That's great. She doesn't seem injured, but... her mental state is a little unstable."
Lina showed a worried look, while Grandma Lessa cried and screamed.
"I lost all the dumplings! The silly-smiling dumplings, the loud-mouthed dumplings, and the drooling dumplings, all of them... I couldn't protect any of them..."
After hearing these words, Zhe subconsciously looked at Lina beside him, but the latter was sure that all the [tuanzi] were rescued by her mother-in-law.
But now there is only one explanation left: Granny can no longer even remember whether the [tuanzi] were rescued...
Chapter 399: Mr. Zhe, please don’t dislike Lina…
“Because my memory has faded to the night I died in the hospital, I can only search for [Dumpling] over and over again.
For her, the resulting part is lost forever.”
Lina's tone was heavy, which also explained why her mother-in-law was so excited when she saw the advertisement about the empty movie on TV at that time.
I guess he was recalling the time when he ran off the stage to save the girls...
"Grandma Leisa, do you remember me? I'm Lina, assigned by the New Elido Family Affairs Association to help you..."
"Ah, Dumpling...it's Dumpling!"
Before Lina could finish her words, her mother-in-law grabbed Dusula and held her in her arms like she did in the video store.
"Don't be afraid, even if you are the only one left, I can still protect you..."
"Multiple skeletons detected, rapidly approaching this area."
Fairy had just finished speaking when Yi Hai appeared in front of several people.
Seeing this, Grandma Leisa immediately squatted down and protected Dusula more tightly.
"Don't be afraid, I will protect you... I will protect you!"
These corpses before them were not a threat to either Zhe or Lina, but the mother-in-law didn't know that she just wanted to protect Tuanzi...
"Lesa Christie, nurse number 2107, your dumplings are not lost.
The giggly Dumpling still loves to laugh. Like you, she also became a neonatal nurse.
The loud-mouthed Tuanzi didn't say much on the phone. He said he would come to see you as soon as the concert was over.
The drooling Tuanzi is already a senior investigator, and he might be fighting Yi Hai right now."
Lina came to Grandma Leisa, who was covering her face and crying. Lina reached out to wipe away her tears.
"Dumpling is not lost, dumpling has just grown up. Now... it's their turn to protect you."
The seeds sown had produced beautiful fruits. Zhe silently placed his hand on his mother-in-law's shoulder. At this moment, two Hati suddenly jumped out nearby.
After solving the problem, Lina came to her mother-in-law again.
"Okay, the crisis is over, and Grandma Resha has calmed down. How do you feel, Grandma? Do you still recognize me?"
“Remember, I remember, you are Lina, and this handsome boy next to you, your boyfriend.”
Grandma Leisa looked at the two people in front of her with a smile, and the confusion that occasionally appeared in her eyes completely disappeared at this moment. However, her words made Lina feel a little embarrassed.
