The question suddenly changed her expression, which was previously laughing, leading her to subconsciously raise her hand to touch her abdomen.

Doctor Qin also noticed this movement and couldn’t help but feel puzzled. Why did her earlier question prompt He Zhilan to make this gesture?

This is a symbolic gesture of a mother protecting her child.

"The child is no longer here, do you remember?" Doctor Qin asked tentatively.

However, He Zhilan did not respond, showing signs of awakening.

"Do you want to find your father and mother?" Doctor Qin quickly shifted the topic back to the previous question.

After a long while, He Zhilan nodded and then shook her head, but tears suddenly poured out.

"I’ve thought about them for over a decade, searched for them for over a decade, but I don’t know if they ever thought of me during my absence or searched for me?

Even for just one day. For over a decade, regardless of the storms, I often stood alone at the village entrance holding a leaking umbrella, foolishly thinking that by continuously waiting, one day, they would come, one day, they would find me and take me back home.

I waited for them so painstakingly, searched for them so hard, but they, they already had another daughter, whom they cherished and protected so much, that even if she wanted to kill me, they would protect her at all costs.

I don’t blame them for not recognizing me, but I blame them for not looking for me, for not missing me. "

"For over a decade, I came through heavy storms, exhausted all my efforts to find them, tried every means to approach anyone who might know them, only to end up with the scars they left me, one cut after another, and even my child, was pushed into oblivion by my own biological mother.

I thought, the life they gave me, after I walked out of Ghost Gate and was lightly dismissed by them, that life, I returned it to them, but why, why did they not spare even my child? "

"My poor child, the child I longed for and finally received, I didn’t even get a chance to tell the child’s father that he had arrived, already inside my body, and then, the child just left my life like that."

"I blame myself deeply, I regret it so much, I don’t know how to explain to my lost child.

I know, he must also be very disappointed, very sad, why didn’t the child stay stronger?

Why did my biological mother cause me to lose this child?

Why, out of everyone in the world, even a stranger would have been better, but why was it the child’s maternal grandmother who deprived him of his right to come into this world? "

"If only the child were still here, how wonderful would that be? I really want to see what the child looks like, whether he resembles me more, or his father more? Is the child a boy or a girl? I really want to make beautiful clothes for him, give him the best of everything in this world."

At this point, He Zhilan broke down and cried like a helpless child.

Doctor Qin quickly stood up, woke up He Zhilan, and saw her bewildered look, tears still hanging from her eyes. Doctor Qin gently hugged He Zhilan, "Poor child~"

This was her way, as a mother, to comfort He Zhilan.

"Doctor Qin, me?" He Zhilan seemed unsettled in Doctor Qin’s embrace.

Doctor Qin patted He Zhilan’s back, soothing her gently like a mother soothing a child, and after a long while, she finally released He Zhilan and said, "I’m sorry, I hypnotized you just now, I know everything about you."
