Fu Yuling slept comfortably this time, but the feeling of weakness in her body did not ease much.
When she woke up again, she found Mother Fu sitting beside her, looking at her with weary eyes.
Just before entering, He Wen had already informed Mother Fu that she was awake, but had fallen asleep again.
Mother Fu was filled with concern and sat nearby wiping her tears.
He Wen and He Qiu remained silent and did not go over to comfort her. After all, their own feelings were not much better than Mother Fu’s.
Fu Yuling opened her eyes and moved slightly, only to see He Qiu’s head leaning in. His round eyes were quietly watching her.
Mother Fu couldn’t help but come closer, her voice filled with tears, “My Lingling, why must you suffer so much…”
Mother Fu’s loud voice touched Fu Yuling deeply. At this age, Mother Fu should be enjoying her golden years, but now because of her daughter, she was burdened time and again.
Fu Yuling felt a deep sense of guilt towards her mother. She reached out to hug the woman and comforted her.
“Mom, why are you crying? I’m fine, I’m alive and kicking. If you don’t believe me, I can stand up and jump for you!”
Fu Yuling’s words sounded good and she pretended to be in a good condition, but looking at her with naked eye, her appearance still showed an overwhelming sense of fatigue. It was the kind that came from deep within her body.
Mother Fu could see right through her facade, knowing she was trying to appear strong for her sake. But she didn’t expose her. Instead, she nodded and gently brushed Fu Yuling’s messy hair.
With a forced smile, she said, “Lingling will be fine. Next time you don’t feel well, don’t hold it in. Rest when you need to, okay?”
“I know, Mom. I’ll take care of myself. Don’t worry.”
“Your dad and your brother are still waiting outside. I’ll go make dinner. You need to eat more to regain your strength. You’ve lost weight…”
After saying this, she couldn’t control her tears again and hurried out.
Once Mother Fu left, He Wen took the initiative to hug her, burying his small head in her arms, relying on her more than ever.
For some reason, Fu Yuling recalled the images she had seen in her soul state.
Those things were just briefly mentioned in the novel, with many details not included.
The children still loved the original owner. She knew and understood that, but it made her feel uneasy inside.
This discomfort made her unable to control her thoughts, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt it was unfair.
It seemed that when He Qiu noticed her distracted state and touched her, she suddenly snapped back to reality, realizing how she had such depressed mood and harboring strange thoughts just now.
She had clearly supported them in not calling her mom because she always understood that blood ties could never be severed.
But just now, she had let herself think otherwise, and the influence was growing deeper.
How could the plot of the novel change to alter the setting and break free from these constraints?
In her distress, she realized that the longer she stayed here, the deeper the plot’s influence became on her. Now, her thoughts were even slipping out of her control.
If it hadn’t been for He Qiu bringing her back to reality, she might have continued down that terrifying train of thought. Just thinking about it sent a shiver down her spine.
“Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid, Xiao Qiu is here!”
He Qiu keenly noticed Fu Yuling’s fear and comforted her. He gently stroked her back, his eyes dark and gloomy as ink.
He would not let her be hurt again!
