Shen Nian slowly approached under the guidance of the police. Her gaze became complex the moment she saw Pei Jingchuan and Jiang Yuzhu.
The footsteps in the hallway startled Shen Nian's mother and father awake, slowly bringing them back to reality from a deep sleep.
Their eyes were blurry, still filled with the haze of deep sleep as they opened.
But as their gaze gradually focused and they clearly saw the scene in front of them, their weariness was instantly replaced by surprise and excitement.
Shen Nian's mother rose from her chair, her eyes filled with a look of disbelief.
Her hands trembled as if she were eager to confirm that the scene before her was real.
Shen Zhuo followed right behind her, his face also etched with hope.
Both of them stepped forward almost at the same time, hugging Shen Nian tightly, one on each side.
Shen Nian's mother's voice was choked with emotion, "Nian Nian, you're finally back, we were so worried about you!"
