Chapter 134: Warmth

  For the Ning family, she didn't have any feelings, but facing the concern shown by one relative after another, she couldn't help but soften her heart. She knew this had nothing to do with the Ning clan's prestige, but if she accepted their concern, it would definitely mean that she agreed to return to the Ning family.

  But what about foster mother Liu Qin?

  "Sister, I understand your concerns. If you think it's not suitable to bring your foster mother to the capital, you can visit her often and fulfill your filial duties. Our family will support this, and we will also treat her as one of our own relatives." Ning's family had already analyzed all this, so facing Su Mo Ruo's hesitation, she said this in a probing manner.

  Should the Ning family treat their foster mother as a member of the family?

  Although the foster mother is very lonely by herself, she admits that it's possible to let her integrate into the Ning family. But can a rural woman like her enter the eyes of the Ning family and get along with them? Do they have a common language? If she returns to the Ning family, and the Ning family regards her as a benefactor, respects her, often visits her, or stays for a few days, I'm afraid that what's added to the foster mother is not happiness but pressure.

  She knew Liu Qin very well, and if the Ning family went to live with her later, she would definitely be afraid of doing something wrong here or there and losing face for herself. So, subconsciously, she shook her head.

  "Are you planning to never go home for the rest of your life? You have a foster mother, but you also have biological parents. Although they didn't raise you, they gave you life. For twenty years, they've been thinking about you with all their heart. How can you be so heartless?" Ning Shi Yang looked at Su Mo Ruo's hesitation and continued to add fuel to the fire. Her feet unconsciously took a step back, "Let me think about it again."

  At this time, Ning Shi Yang's phone suddenly rang. He picked it up and looked at the caller ID, furrowing his brow subconsciously. After humming a couple of times, he hung up directly, but his face didn't look very good.

  "No, you have to come with me today to see them." These past few days everyone has been worried sick, and the phone call just now made it impossible for her to continue stalling. The phone call said that Great Aunt had fainted from anxiety over Su Mo Ruo's whereabouts, and no one knew what was happening now. Today, no matter what, she had to bring him back, so everyone could finally be at ease.

  Her eyebrows furrowed, wanting to resist, but Ning Shi-yang's words came into her ears, "Auntie should be in the hospital now, if you don't go back to the Ning residence, then come with me to see her."

  At this moment, it felt as if something had cut through his heart, a flash of pain flickered in his eyes, and he stood still on the spot.

  Looking at Su Mo like this, Ning Shi Yang knew she cared, so he took her hand and walked away.

  The hospital wasn't particularly quiet at this hour, with people still coming and going in the corridors. Ning Shi Yang directly pulled Su Mo Ruo along, familiar with the route, until they reached a certain room door.

  "You go in." Standing at the door, Ning Shi Yang gestured for Su Mo Ruo to push the door open and enter.

  Before Su Mo Ruo could change his mind, Ning Shi Yang had already taken the lead and pushed open the door, but his figure flashed to the side.

  Su Mo was completely unprepared, so when the eyes of the people inside turned towards her, she hadn't yet come back to herself.

  "Is that Ning?" He didn't know how many times he had seen this girl in the photos, and the last time he went to his daughter's adoptive mother's house, but at that time, the girl didn't even give him a glance. Now, it could be said that they finally met face to face, but Ning Tianhua was also surprised, why did this girl appear here?

  ......I...... was stared at by Ning Tianhua, Su Mo felt a bit numb on her scalp. When she really faced her biological father, she was like a newborn baby, not knowing how to talk to her elders.

  She didn't need to say anything next.

  Because in the ward, Lian Hongya was unconscious and on a drip, only Ning Tianhua, who was awake, had already stood up excitedly from his seat, his eyes blurry as he walked step by step towards her.

  "Ning Er——" These past few days, there had been no news of this daughter. When he found out that she had actually gone to the Golden Triangle with Dragon Squad to carry out a mission, it was like a thunderclap, leaving him stunned. For several days, he sent many people to the Golden Triangle to search for her, but there was not a single piece of news in those few days. His wife had also fainted and been sent to the hospital recently, so he was worried on both sides. Now, seeing his big daughter suddenly appear at the hospital, Ning Tianhua's heart was naturally filled with joy.

  Her feet unconsciously wanted to retreat backwards, she didn't know how to face these enthusiastic family members.

  But Ning Tianhua suddenly seemed to wake up at this time, and hurriedly walked a few steps in front of her, stretched out his hand to pull her back, then turned around and walked into the room.

  "You——" was so close to this father figure, Su Mo subconsciously refused.

  "Now that you're here, come and see your mother. She's been worried about you for the past few days." Who knows who taught Ning Tianhua to say such words, anyway, an iron-blooded man wouldn't normally say such tender words.

  But at this time, Jianmo wouldn't notice even if it was simple, because her eyes were fixed on the woman lying on the bed with a pale face and a tired expression. Her originally beautiful face now looked frail and weak, with her eyes closed, looking like a sick beauty.

  "What's wrong with her?" Su Mo Ruo asked, knowing the answer already, but still asking. Her eyes were fixed on Ning Tian Hua in front of her, who had a similarly exhausted expression, and she felt suffocated in her heart.

  Wanted to say a word of concern, but when I spoke, I found that my throat was sore.

  Shaking his head, a smile appeared on his face, and his tone was full of comfort, "It's okay, your mom is just older, her body isn't well, going to the hospital is very normal."

  These words were comforting to some, but not to Sumo. Getting old and going into the hospital is a very common thing? So that means they're waiting for her daughter to come back, and they've all grown old while waiting? Walking slowly to the bedside, looking at the woman who was frowning even in her sleep, her original beauty had been reduced a lot because of her sleep, and the frown on her face also told everyone that even though she was asleep, she couldn't forget the person she was worried about.

  "What did the doctor say?" He asked without lifting his head, looking at Lian Hongya who was sleeping.

  "It's just exhaustion and worry, a good night's rest will do. Don't worry." But Ning Tianhua felt a little relieved in his heart. If his wife woke up to know that their daughter had come to see her, and even cared about her, she would definitely be happy. His wife's original heart disease would also be much lighter. The fact that their daughter could come to see his wife proved that they were not as indifferent as they seemed on the surface.

  Two people sat on either side of the bed, and the originally quiet ward could only hear the sound of two people's breathing at this moment.

  Su Mo looked at the woman lying quietly in bed with an unwavering gaze, Ning Tianhua didn't speak, and she had nothing to say either.

  "I'm leaving." Su Mo said as she glanced at her watch and spoke to Ning Tianhua who was sitting beside her in silence.

  The voice fell, but there was no response for a long time.

  It wasn't until much later that Ning Tianhua's voice sounded again, "Ning Er, your mom still hasn't woken up, can...can you stay a little while longer?"

  Actually, Sumo was a bit hesitant just now, but because they didn't have much to say to each other, sitting together was also very awkward. Although she had a good impression of this mother who met for the first time, she couldn't help but show such a pitiful look at their first meeting.

  "...You go rest, I'll watch here." She didn't know what consequences her words would bring, she only knew that's what she wanted to do now.

  Ning Tianhua's eyes were filled with dense joy, as if afraid that Su Mo would regret it, and nodded repeatedly. "Okay, okay, I'll go rest now. You take care of your mom here, and let the nurse handle this bottle when it's done." After finishing speaking, he opened the door to the hospital room and stepped out.

  It's indeed a VIP ward with extra rooms for family members to rest.

  Outside the ward, Ning Shi Yang, who had been worried all along, slowly put down her worries and didn't continue to stay. The Ning family probably still has people who are worried and waiting for her to return with news.

  Su Mo sat at the head of the bed, looking at this beautiful woman. Time had left no mark on her face. It could be said that heaven was also being very kind to this woman. If she went out, people would probably say she looked like a young woman in her early twenties. But who would have thought that she was already the mother of three children?

  And what's more, the eldest daughter is almost twenty-one now.

  "Are you my mother?" After merging with the memories of this body's owner, she became Su Moruo. Only the owner of this body knew about Su Moruo's deep longing for her biological mother in her heart. From childhood to adulthood, she was mischievous and troublesome, doing all sorts of bad things. She could argue with the town's shrews and rival the town's young hooligans, seemingly fearless and heartless. But only she herself knew that at night, when it was quiet and still, she longed for her mother the most.

  "I didn't know my mother would be so beautiful." The quietness of the hospital room awakened Sumo's inner loneliness, and as she gazed at that lovely face, overlapping it with her adoptive mother Liuqin's face, she couldn't find any resemblance. Yet, she somehow expected that when those eyes opened, they might look like Liuqin's, for whenever Liuqin looked at her, her eyes were always filled with love and doting, even pampering.

  "I've never met you, but I have to admit that you occupy a place in Somoro's heart." These were the words she spoke on behalf of Somoro, whose original owner had unfortunately lost the chance to meet her biological parents again. This imposter was replacing her.

  Looking up at the IV bottle, I found that it was almost empty and quickly pressed the call bell.

  Before long, two nurses came and efficiently handled everything. As they left, they didn't forget to remind the family members that they could rest now. Their tone was polite and respectful, making Su Mo feel compelled to exclaim, "Money can indeed make a ghost push a millstone!" She thought about the last time she returned to her hometown when her foster mother was hospitalized, and the treatment then was worlds apart from what it was like now.

  People can't live without money and power after all.

  After taking two nurses away, Sumoer lifted the quilt on the side where Lian Hongya had just finished infusing, reached out and grabbed the icy arm that had just been infused, and gently rubbed it back and forth.

  In another room, through the gap in the door, Ning Tianhua's eyes were filled with relief.

  This woman, for them, has always been loving, it's just that this daughter's personality made her unable to express herself correctly in front of people.

  In the early hours of the morning, Su Mo asked the nurse to take a look at the situation in the ward, and then left first without giving any reason, just saying let the nurse take care of it.

  Because of what he saw last night, Ning Tianhua slept very well and woke up at 7:30 the next morning. His first thought was to open the door and see the situation outside.

  But when he pushed open the door and looked outside, he was stunned.

  Because she didn't see the figure she imagined, there was only a white nurse's voice in the ward.

  "What about the other young lady?"

  The young nurse didn't look very old, seemingly just starting her career. She had heard the head nurse say that the patient in this room was a big shot, so she didn't dare to offend him. As soon as he woke up and glared at her, she thought she must have done something wrong, turned pale, stood trembling on the spot, not daring to move, with tears welling up in her eyes.
