Returning to the ward, Quan Tianyou saw Su Liuying sitting anxiously in front of the hospital bed, her hands tightly clasping Su Qing's hand, murmuring softly to herself.
"Mother Su, you can't leave me, please don't abandon me, okay?"
The doctor had said that although the surgery saved Su Qing's life, her condition was not optimistic. Su Liuying couldn't accept such an outcome. Su Qing had already been lying in the hospital bed for so long; even if she lay there like a vegetative person, she was still alive, and that gave Su Liuying a glimmer of hope.
"Liuying, your mother will be fine! Trust me!"
Quan Tianyou stepped forward, gently patting her shoulder as she turned her head to lean into his embrace.
"Tianyou, do you know? When I was very little, I was abandoned at the door of an orphanage. It was Mother Su who took me in. She has always been so good to me, just like my real mother."
