The powerful headlights blinded him for a moment, forcing him to stop pressing the accelerator.

The piercing siren grew closer and closer, and Gu Shiyu had a moment of hallucination. He seemed to see Mengmeng standing in front of the car, waving at him.

"Brother~"

"Mengmeng!"

Gu Shiyu responded, reaching out to grab Mengmeng who was about to run away.

"do not want!"

With a startled cry, Mengmeng woke up from her sleep. She was covered in sweat, and her whole body was soaked as if she had been drenched in water.

Tangtang, who was next to her, rubbed her eyes. "Mengmeng, what's wrong?"

Mengmeng turned to look at Tangtang, who was sleeping next to her, and sighed, "So it was just a dream."

Tangtang listened, turned slightly to the side, and asked curiously, "What did you dream about?"

"A bad dream." Mengmeng got out of bed, turned her arms around, and rubbed her back.

I feel sticky all over, and it's not comfortable to lie down anymore.

She looked at Tangtang, who had been woken up, and said, "Tangtang, go back to sleep."

"Mengmeng, where are you going?" Tangtang asked.

Seeing that she wanted to stand up, Mengmeng quickly replied, "I want to take another shower."

"Now?" Tangtang looked at the clock on the desk.

It's already very late, and after taking a shower, there won't be much time left before I can go to sleep.

"Okay, you go to sleep." After saying that, Mengmeng turned around and walked towards the bathroom next door.

Tangtang covered her mouth and yawned; she was just too sleepy to stay awake any longer.

The sound of running water came from the bathroom. Mengmeng stood under the showerhead, letting the water droplets fall on her.

Thankfully, it was all a dream. If it had been my brother, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

I wonder what my brother and the others are doing now? She didn't go back; have they noticed? Or have they come out to look for her?

Having come to the Tang family, with Tang's parents and Tangtang's affection for her, Mengmeng didn't focus too much on the Gu family. Now, in the dead of night, having had that dream again, her mind is filled with curiosity about what's happening at the Gu family's place.

She misses her parents, her brothers, and Xiaobai. Do they miss her too?

The water splashed on my face, and I couldn't tell if it was tears or water from the shower.

……

hospital.

"Is things not going well with Shi Yu?" Ruolan murmured, looking at the sky outside the window, which was already beginning to brighten.

Gu Jingsi scratched his hair and stood up from the ground in a hurry.

"Where are you going?" Gu Yinshen grabbed his arm and stopped him.

"I said I'd go with him, but you all stopped me. It's been so long, and we haven't heard a word from him. Yuan'er is waiting, and her request for help is so dangerous, how much longer can she wait?" Gu Jingsi angrily shook off Gu Yinshen's hand, blaming everything on Gu Yinshen.

Given the circumstances, he genuinely couldn't go with Gu Shiyu. If he left, Nan Yuan'er would be heartbroken if she came out of the operating room and couldn't see him.

But not letting him go, and then this situation happening, has indeed left him with a knot in his heart.

Gu Yinshen gripped Gu Jingsi's hand tightly and reassured him, "Wait a little longer. I'll contact Shi Yu now and see what's going on with him."

"I'll make the call," Ruolan said, taking out her phone.

The call was dialed, but no one answered.

"Could it be on the way back?" Ruolan said.

"It's been almost two hours, and you're still on the road?" Gu Jingsi's tone turned fierce.

In fact, they both knew the answer in their hearts: Mengmeng was heartbroken by their actions and didn't want to come back.

"Brother, I can't lose Yuan'er!" Gu Jingsi collapsed to his knees in despair.

The operating room door was pushed open at that moment, and the doctor walked out wearily.

“Who are the patient’s family members?”

"I!"

The doctor looked over, noticing Gu Jingsi kneeling on the ground, looking haggard, and asked uncertainly, "Are you a patient's family member?"

"I am her husband." With Gu Yinshen's help, Gu Jingsi struggled to his feet.

He approached the doctor and anxiously asked, "Doctor, how is my wife now? Is she out of danger?"

"Yes," the doctor said. "The patient's physical condition is currently normal, but he needs to stay in the hospital for observation for a period of time to ensure that there are no problems before he can leave."

"What about the child?" Ruolan asked.

Nan Yuan'er was pregnant with twins, and the long time spent in the operating room could have endangered the babies in her womb.

Gu Jingsi looked at the doctor nervously, not daring to ask any further questions.

He was afraid, afraid of hearing bad news, afraid that he wouldn't be able to accept it.

"Both the mother and child are fine. However, the patient is currently very weak, and to avoid any potential miscarriage, she must remain hospitalized for observation for a period of time. The family can go home and prepare some daily necessities that the patient will need in the near future," the doctor said.

Hearing that everyone was alright, the tension that had been hanging over them finally subsided.

Gu Jingsi, in particular, was overjoyed and burst into tears.

A short while later, Nan Yuan'er was pushed out of the operating room by the nurse.

"Jing Si, stop crying!" Gu Yinshen urged. "If she needs anything, we'll go back and get it."

"Big brother, you should contact Shi Yu first. See if you can bring Mengmeng to the hospital," Gu Jingsi requested.

No matter how skilled a doctor is, they can't compare to a cute little butterfly.

He dared not believe the doctor's words, and even less dared to gamble with the lives of Nan Yuan'er and the child inside her.

Even without his request, they would still go looking for Mengmeng.

"Okay, please contact us immediately if there are any issues at the hospital."

"it is good."

Gu Yinshen left the hospital with Ruolan.

……

As dawn broke, Mengmeng, dressed, was already waiting on the sofa in the living room.

The Tang family didn't have any servants; Lin Ling prepared breakfast herself. She yawned as she came down the stairs, looking at Mengmeng on the sofa with a hint of surprise.

"Mengmeng?"

"Auntie."

Mengmeng stood up from the chair, being very sensible.

"When did you wake up? Why didn't you sleep a little longer?" Lin Ling looked at the dark circles under Mengmeng's eyes and guessed that she hadn't slept well last night.

Mengmeng followed Lin Ling into the kitchen and asked, "Auntie, Mengmeng isn't sleepy. Mengmeng will help you prepare breakfast first."

"Help me?" Lin Ling exclaimed as if she had misheard. "The kitchen is too dangerous. There are knives and fire everywhere. It would be terrible if you got hurt."

“It’s okay,” Mengmeng said. “When I was in the orphanage, I often helped the director.”

Even so, Lin Ling was still worried. She held Mengmeng's hand and gently persuaded her, "Mengmeng, you and Tangtang are both children in Auntie's eyes. You can learn to cook when you're older. You're still young now, and this is the age to enjoy being taken care of."
