"I don't know when this endless wait will end. At first I was happy, but now I don't know if I should be happy anymore..."
Shu Ying felt the same way.
She is also a mother, and with a little empathy, she could understand the struggle and torment Xie Mingzhu was going through.
She hugged Xie Mingzhu even tighter.
“I understand… I, like you, hope that this child can be found soon.”
"Sister, don't be afraid, we will all help you. We will help you find a way to bring my little nephew back."
Xie Mingzhu was sobbing uncontrollably, and it was hard to hear what she was saying. She was even having trouble controlling her breathing, and her chest felt sore and uncomfortable.
Shu Ying noticed that something was wrong with her and quickly took her pulse.
Fortunately, it wasn't far from home, so Shu Ying quickly took her back. She first settled her down at the table in the courtyard, then rushed into the house, found a paper bag, poured out a bowl of spiritual spring water from her spatial storage, and quickly ran out.
She first held the paper bag to Xie Mingzhu's mouth, pressed it shut with her hand, and guided Xie Mingzhu—
"Sister, from now on, breathe according to my instructions, understand?"
"Exhale—inhale—exhale again—!"
Shu Ying constantly observed Xie Mingzhu's condition and adjusted her pace accordingly.
Xie Mingzhu followed Shu Ying's instructions several times, and when she took the paper bag off, her breathing was indeed much more stable.
"How are you feeling? Is your chest still uncomfortable?"
Xie Mingzhu rubbed her chest and shook her head.
Shu Ying breathed a sigh of relief.
"Fortunately, it didn't actually develop into respiratory alkalosis."
She quickly handed over the spring water.
"Sister, drink this quickly and take it easy. You should feel much better."
Xie Mingzhu's emotions had just gone through a rollercoaster, and her mind was still blank. Without thinking much, she did as Shu Ying said.
After drinking a bowl of cool water, Xie Mingzhu felt a refreshing sensation spreading through her lungs and body.
Soon, the strange feeling in my lungs disappeared, my eyes seemed less swollen, and my vision became much clearer.
Xie Mingzhu gradually regained her composure and calmed down completely. When she looked down, she realized that Shu Ying was still pressing her acupoints.
Those acupoints happened to be the ones Shu Ying had taught her that could calm the mind and relieve stress.
When you're feeling sad and heartbroken, having someone quietly stay by your side, offering effective comfort and healing, is truly a great solace.
Xie Mingzhu was moved and squeezed Shu Ying's hand tightly.
"Yingying, thank you for always being there for me."
"You have no idea how agonizing it was for me walking back after that phone call..."
"How could anyone be so evil as to steal someone else's child, lie that the child died in childbirth, and then sell the child immediately in order to make more money?"
"She didn't even tell me the baby's correct gender!"
As she spoke, Xie Mingzhu couldn't help but shed tears again, but she was much more restrained than before.
“I’ve dreamed about my child countless times before. I dreamed that he was with a group of children. I tried hard to identify them, looking at every little girl, but none of them seemed like my child.”
“A few times I tried to hug them, but they immediately pulled away, looking at me as if I were a stranger…”
Every time Xie Mingzhu woke up from a dream, she thought she should be sad.
After all, how could a mother not be heartbroken when her child doesn't recognize her in her dreams?
But each time, she felt a calmness in her heart that exceeded her expectations.
She always felt something was off about the children she thought should be her daughters, as if something was missing, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
In short, we weren't that close.
"At first I thought it was because I had never seen or spent time with my child since he was born, and that I had no experience with him, so I couldn't get close to him."
"But I only realized today why my child never responds to me in my dreams... It turns out it's because I always mistook my child for my own."
“Every time I look for my child, the first thing I do is rule out boys and search among the girls, of course I can’t find my child…”
Xie Mingzhu grew increasingly resentful as she spoke, slamming her fist hard on the table.
"That despicable midwife, that despicable human trafficker, made me not even know the gender of my child, and I can't even see my child in my dreams!"
Xie Mingzhu's tears streamed down her cheeks one after another.
Shu Ying sighed silently and handed over her handkerchief.
"Sister, don't be sad. No matter what, we finally know the truth now, so it's not too late."
"Didn't the police say that they have some leads, but it will take time to investigate?"
"As long as there are clues, things are getting better."
"Besides, didn't that police officer Lu also say that some things are just his current guesses? Perhaps my little nephew isn't that hard to find. We'll be able to investigate and catch the human trafficker soon, and find him."
“Look at me, at first I also thought my mother was gone and I couldn’t find her, but now we have clues, don’t we?”
"Heaven helps those who help themselves. We'll all work together to help you find a solution and search for you. We're sure we'll find it."
Xie Mingzhu wiped away her tears.
After Shuying's comfort and treatment, her emotions have stabilized a lot, and she has been persuaded by Shuying and has come to terms with many things.
Xie Mingzhu took a deep breath.
"Yingying, you're right. As long as we calm down and search patiently, we'll eventually find it."
"Even if I'm anxious here, it won't help. Instead of worrying, I'd rather do something meaningful and save my time to look for my child."
She looked up and squeezed Shuying's hand tightly.
“Not only my son, but also your mother, we will definitely be able to find them.”
Let's cheer each other on.
"Okay, keep it up."
Xie Mingzhu composed herself, quickly washed her face, tried to regain her usual appearance, and smiled at Shu Ying.
"Yingying, you must be hungry. It's my fault for delaying the cooking time today. I'll go and quickly make a few dishes now. Wait for me a moment."
After saying that, Xie Mingzhu was about to go into the kitchen.
Shu Ying quickly stopped the person.
She's already in a bad mood, preoccupied with something, and her attention is scattered. If she tries to chop vegetables or start cooking at this time, it's easy for something to go wrong.
Shu Ying didn't want her to hurt herself, so she suggested that she cook today's meal.
Xie Mingzhu disagreed.
"You're pregnant, and carrying triplets at that, which is so hard. You're showing more than other pregnant women your month of pregnancy. How can I let you suffer like this?"
"Let me do it."
