"After the parade, I can take a ten-day leave. We can go back to our hotown for a couple of days. It’s been a while since I last saw dad, and you must miss him too, right?" He Teng turned to look at He Zhilan as he spoke, seeing her nod, he said, "Dad must miss you too."
"Of course!" He Zhilan said proudly, "Dad only cares about and Dongxue! It’s such a pity that Dongxue can’t manage to get ti off work at the hospital. Otherwise, our whole family could go back and stay for a while, spend so ti with dad, and also see how my second brother is doing. Even though we often talk on the phone, I know, like us, dad and my second brother would only share good news and hide their worries. We need to go back in person to be reassured."
Dr. Qin from the city took the train back to the capital that very afternoon. Picking her up was her old friend Zhou’s mother, who had been friends for many years, yet their personalities were surprisingly opposite. Dr. Qin herself preferred quietness, but Zhou’s mother was particularly lively.
"Did you see Zhilan?" As Zhou drove, although focusing on the road, she occasionally glanced at her friend beside her, "I liked that child the mont I first saw her, felt a very good vibe from her. I even did a fortune reading for her once. She had many struggles in her youth, but her path ahead should be broad, and she will live a long and happy life."
"Really? You got that right?" Dr. Qin chuckled lightly, "Your thods haven’t been lost to ti, huh? Oh right, do you know who caused He Zhilan’s miscarriage?"
"Who else could it be? Our old acquaintance, daughter of the Lan Family, daughter-in-law of the Gu Family." Zhou’s mother shrugged, "You must rember Gu Hengyuan’s wife, right? It was who introduced her to you back then. If only I had known her adopted daughter would nearly kill my son, I would have never ddled."
"What?" Dr. Qin had been overseas and was completely unaware of the recent events in the country. However, she did indeed know Gu mother, coincidentally, Gu mother had been her patient for about a decade or so.
Seeing her friend knew nothing, Zhou’s mother directly told her all that had recently happened in the capital, including Gu En being sent to prison by the Zhou Family, and the miscarriage incident of He Zhilan that Dr. Qin just asked about.
After hearing it all, Dr. Qin was utterly shocked.
Even she had to marvel at how mysterious the connections in this world could be.
More than a decade ago, because of her daughter’s disappearance, Gu mother beca her patient, and more than a decade later, Gu mother’s biological daughter also beca her patient due to her parents’ harm.
"What’s wrong? Why that expression? Did you think of sothing?" Not hearing a reply from her friend, Zhou’s mother turned back to see a strange expression on her face.
Dr. Qin shook her head, "It’s nothing." It was about her patient, so she couldn’t discuss it with anyone, even with her own close friend.
"How has Mrs. Gu been these years?" Dr. Qin asked.
"Very well, you wouldn’t even know she was once crazed." Because of Gu En’s situation, the Zhou Family had already fallen out with the Gu Family, so when ntioning Gu En’s mother, Zhou’s mother’s tone wasn’t very pleasant.
"Don’t transfer the hatred you have for Gu En onto her. Her adopted daughter is her adopted daughter, she is herself." Dr. Qin actually had always had a good impression of Gu mother.
"A child’s failure is the parent’s fault, why shouldn’t I be angry? I’m just an ordinary person, not so Bodhisattva~ He’s my only son. He nearly died, and rembering it still makes grind my teeth. That Little Devil only got sentenced to a few years, I am not satisfied at all." Zhou’s mother was soone who spoke her mind, and she didn’t hold back at all in front of her friend.
