Hearing the children's distress, Chen Afu's heart ached. She asked, "Are they still in the east wing?" Seeing Mrs. Wang's nod, she added, "Let them come to the door, I want to say a few words to them."
Mrs. Wang agreed and fetched the children. The sound of soft footsteps and Dabao's boisterous voice echoed, "Mother, mother…"
Mingled in were a few sobs from Chu Hanyan.
Zeng Xiaoqing opened the bedroom door, and Mrs. Wang blocked the children from entering at the doorway.
"I want mother…"
"I want aunty…"
Upon finishing their pleas, Dabao and Chu Hanyan began to cry loudly.
It was the first time in days that Chu Hanyan had raised her voice. Despite the fact that she was crying, Mrs. Song, who was behind her, let out a sigh of relief. The whole family was terrified, afraid that their sister would regress to her past state.
Alu, teary-eyed, called out, "Sister."
