Chapter 554

Gu, I have a question I want to ask you," Cheng Ke Xin hurriedly stopped Gu Chi who was walking past her.Without giving Zhao Chengxin a second glance, Gu Chi continued walking, his voice sounding as...Although she already knew about Su YaFen's current serious condition, the moment Cheng KeXin pushed open the door and saw her, she was still shocked. 。Tears flowed uncontrollably, her carefully constructed mental defenses collapsing in that instant. 。Tears streamed down her face, Cheng Ke Xin couldn't believe her eyes. She covered her mouth tightly, afraid that she would cry out in pain from the sight before her. 。Could this person really be her own mother How could she have become like this!Su Ya Fen was currently hooked up to an IV, her veins bulging with strained effort, and her skin hanging loosely over her bones. Her face was covered in a multitude of small puncture marks from countless injections. 。Looking up, Cheng KeXin's gaze swept across a body devoid of flesh. She could even see the shape of the bones through the dry skin, truly skeletal and withered. 。Her cheeks were sunken and a terrifying shade of blue, her cheekbones protruding sharply. Finally, Cheng Keqin met Su Ya'fin's eyes. 。

Originally, those clear and warm eyes that radiated warmth were now clouded over, like a sweet well had dried up, leaving only a muddy puddle at the bottom. 。But those eyes, when they met hers, flared to life. She could even see the joy and longing within them clearly. 。Ke Xin Is that you back I can't be dreaming, can I 。"

"Mom, I'm back, I'm sorry...sniff..." Hearing Su Ya Fen's incredibly hoarse voice, Cheng Ke Xin finally couldn't control herself and rushed to her bedside, crying. " 。These years she should have come to see her mother, she remembered Su Ya-fen still smiling gently and lovingly at her. When did she become this haggard and lost “It really is Ke Xin, it really is you back!” Su Ya-fen laughed and touched Cheng Ke Xin’s hair, “Don’t cry, don’t cry, lift your head so your mother can see, it's been a long time since she has seen you” 。With a sob, she lifted her head. Just like she had practiced at the door earlier, Cheng KeXin tried to smile at Su YaFen, but she simply couldn't do it. All she could do was let tears stream down her face. 。

"Alright, alright, stop crying now" 。Su Ya Fen raised her hand to wipe Cheng Ke Xin's tears, but her dry hands stung her skin, and also her heart. Tears flowed even more fiercely. 。Bending down and burying her face in Su Ya Fen's side, Cheng Ke Xin cried out loud. She didn't know where all this tears came from, it was like a dam had broken, an unstoppable flood. 。...and Su Yafen didn't know how to comfort her, she could only gently pat her on the back....

When she finally cried until she was tired and her mood calmed down a little, she looked up at Su Yafen. 。"Ke Xin, how have you been all these years" Su Ya Fen asked softly, her eyes showing guilt. 。If not for her, how could Ke Xin return to her own life after so many years 。"I'm doing fine, how about you" Wiping away the remaining tears from under her eyes, Cheng Kexin asked the same question. 。"I'm doing well too, your brother has been taking care of me all these years." 。“Oh, I…” Cheng Ke Xin wanted to continue, but she didn’t know what to say. 。After the initial excitement and sadness of their reunion, Cheng KeXin realized that five years had created a strange and distant gulf between her and Su YaFen. The tears they'd just shed felt more like a goodbye to the past. 。"Did Cheng Luo come back this time too" Su Ya-fen finally took over the conversation and asked. 。"Well" 。"Cheng Keixin nodded. " ...How are you feeling now"

She originally wanted to call out "Mom," but thinking that Cheng Ruoer was Su Yafen's biological daughter and more loved, she felt a strange sense of awkwardness and distance. 。I hadn't thought of that just now, she could have called out easily. 。But now she found herself unable to speak plainly, and ultimately chose to use honorifics instead. 。Noticing Cheng Ke Xin's change in how she addressed herself, Su Ya Fen felt very heartbroken, but she didn't know what to say. 。She wasn't her real mother, and had even stolen her life. She was already quite forgiving for not blaming herself, how could she possibly deserve to be called "Mom"
