“Then… I’ll go to Z Country to visit you soon!”
“Okay.”
Zuo Weiyi accepted her proposal with a smile.
Then, she remembered that she called to inquire about Shen Lanzhi’s condition.
“Oh right, has Mother’s condition improved?”
Shi Nuannuan was very excited. “Yes! The doctor said that the chances of Mommy waking up are very high. Moreover, she seems to be able to hear what I’m saying and move in response recently, but she hasn’t opened her eyes yet.”
Shi Nuannuan’s words almost made Zuo Weiyi tear up.
“That’s good.” When she spoke again, her voice became a little choked and hoarse.
Shi Nuannuan paused for a moment when she heard the sudden change in voice.
She knew that Sister-in-Law had been full of self-blame and guilt towards her mother.
“Sister-in-Law, don’t worry. Mommy will definitely wake up.”
“Okay.” Zuo Weiyi forced out a faint smile.
Shi Nuannuan finally felt at ease.
However, when she thought about the reason she went to Z Country, she could not help but worry about her and her brother.
“Sister-in-Law, actually my brother, he…” She paused for a moment before continuing, “Before my brother was four years old, his only family member was Mommy. After that, he was taken away by Grandpa. From then on, Brother hardly spoke and did not want to talk to anyone in the mansion. But Mommy still wanted to see Brother, so she would secretly go to the kindergarten he went to. Even if she did see him, she could not get close to him; she could only secretly watch from afar. That’s why Mommy is really important to Brother and I.”
Zuo Weiyi was deeply moved by Shi Nuannuan’s words.
Of course, she knew how important her mother was.
“So, Sister-in-Law, don’t blame my brother, okay? He actually cares about you very much. It’s also because he cares that he’s in pain, so he doesn’t know how to face you and Mommy. In the past, there was Jing Xinlei. Although she also dated my brother, even when she abandoned him five years ago, I never saw my brother suffer because of her. But… my brother cried because of you. Ever since I was young, even after Dad passed away five years ago, I’ve never seen him shed a single tear.”
Zuo Weiyi was shocked by Nuannuan’s words for a moment. Her heart felt as if it had been pricked by something.
After a long while, she finally said, “You said that he cried?”
“Yes, when you were shot and didn’t wake up for a long time. He broke down completely.” Nuannuan was shocked too at the time.
“I see…”
After ending the call with Nuannuan, Zuo Weiyi became a little sluggish. She sat alone on the sofa, deep in thought.
It was not until Xiao Cui called her for lunch that she suddenly came back to her senses.
She did not eat much during lunch. Her mind was filled with Shi Nuannuan’s words: “Brother cried because of you.”
A little tired, she went up to the second floor by herself.
Every day after lunch, she would feel extremely tired.
When she reached the bedroom and laid down, her cell phone rang.
The caller ID read: Baby Shi.
She was a little surprised when she picked up the call.
“Have you eaten?”
As soon as the call connected, his deep and sweet voice came from the other end.
For some reason, she just noticed that every word he said to her was extremely gentle.
“Yeah, I’ve eaten.”
“Are you still vomiting?”
“I’m fine today.”
“OK, then you should sleep for a while.” He was about to hang up the moment he finished.
