Chapter 62: Concessions for You

  The snow had just started falling when she heard a familiar voice on the other end of the phone, leaving her momentarily stunned.

  "Is it snowing?"

  Just two words made her choke, covering her mouth with one hand and opening her mouth in a trembling voice: "Mom..." Her mother finally remembered her.

  When she was very young, her mother suffered from autism and depression, often not speaking for long periods of time, not recognizing people, including herself. Later, after moving to the United States, she found the best psychiatrist to treat her mother's illness.

  At that time, my mother's autistic symptoms improved significantly. However, after returning to the country for a trip during the Spring Festival, the symptoms became severe again and showed a tendency to worsen.

  After Tian went missing, the doctor on that side also lost contact. Xuelai took her to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor just prescribed some medicine, instructing her to take it on time, but Mom refused to eat.

  On the eve of her wedding, her mother disappeared. She frantically searched everywhere for her, but with her own strength, how could she find her? Just as she was at a loss, she received a strange phone call, and all they asked was that she agree to one condition, and they would release her mother.

  Snow fell, she couldn't believe it. How could someone as simple and kind-hearted as her and her mother be threatened to such an extent? And what's more, why did they have to force her to marry a stranger? Was she just a tribute to the ancient king or a pawn for their benefit?

  The envelope containing the video tapes and photos of her mother made her make a decision, put on her wedding dress, and walk on this unknown road.

  The second day after getting married, Mei's aunt called and said that her mother had returned home. She didn't expect her mother to ask about her, she just hoped that she would be safe.

  And now, her mother actually called her, which also means she remembered her.

  "Snow is falling, where are you? Mom misses you..." On the other end of the phone was Ouyang Meilian's gentle voice, as beautiful and elegant as she was.

  "Mom, I miss you too..." Snow hadn't finished speaking when tears began to fall from her eyes, and her throat was blocked so she couldn't speak anymore. Yet, she was afraid the person on the other end would hear, so she desperately covered her mouth.

  "Missing mom and still running around?" Ouyang Meilian's voice was tinged with a hint of amusement, she could imagine her mother smiling beautifully.

  "Did I hear Aunt Mei say that you're married? Look, Mom, she's gotten sick again and didn't even know about my wedding... A daughter getting married, her mom should be by her side! Mom wants to see her daughter happily and blissfully marry a good husband, only then can Mom rest assured..."

  "But when mom's illness flares up again, she won't recognize anyone. Anyway, once Xuelu is married to Tian, mom will be at peace..."

  Ouyang Meilian was still muttering to herself, but Xueluo burst into tears and couldn't catch her breath. How could Mother have imagined that when she woke up, the world would be a different color?

  "Snow, where are you? Why did Mei Auntie say it's far from here? Did the sky take you to a very distant place?" Ouyang Meilian was still asking her, but she couldn't utter a word. She endured for several times before trying her best to calm down and speak.

  "I... I'll come back to see you, mom. I'm hanging up now... I'll call you later..." She couldn't bear it anymore and hung up the phone before Ouyang Meilian could respond. She hastily wiped her face with her hand, wanting to rush upstairs, but saw Cang Mu standing at the door, staring at her steadily.

  That posture must have been standing for a long time.

  She didn't have time to cover up, and could only look at him with a tear-stained face. She couldn't think of why he had suddenly come back again.

  He withdrew his gaze and walked towards the stairs, stopping in front of her and seeming to think for a moment before Snow heard him say: "Next Monday, I'll have someone send you back to California..."

  He finished speaking, went upstairs, and after a while, came down with a document in his hand. Without looking at her, he hastily left the door.
