After the call, the atmosphere returned to its usual silence.

Mengmeng looked at the two of them with a restrained expression, hesitating about how to speak.

Should we ask Mom and Dad if they've come to pick them up?

Or were her parents here to say goodbye?

Her head gradually lowered, and Mengmeng unconsciously started fiddling with her fingers.

Overwhelmed by longing, Ruolan didn't care about anything else and rushed forward to hug Mengmeng tightly.

"Mengmeng, Mommy misses you so much!" Ruolan said, her voice choked with emotion.

At first, the touch made Mengmeng like a frightened bird, but later, as Ruolan described her longing, Mengmeng opened her arms and responded to Ruolan's embrace.

Even as a grown man, Gu Yinshen's eyes welled up with tears as he saw his wife and daughter embracing and crying.

At the top of the stairs, Tang Yibai stopped in his tracks, staring in astonishment at the scene before him.

Why did the Gu family come looking for us so quickly?

“Mengmeng, your dad and I don’t know what’s wrong with us these past few days. We’ve done a lot of things against our will. But your dad and we love you and we could never abandon you,” Gu Yinshen explained carefully.

It's not just that they like Mengmeng and want her to be their child; many more people are eyeing the position of Mengmeng's parents.

He wasn't worried about Mengmeng becoming someone else's child; he was just worried that Mengmeng's special abilities would be used by someone with ulterior motives.

"Yes, we don't know what's wrong with us. It's like we're possessed." Ruolan didn't know how to explain what they had encountered to Mengmeng.

If I told anyone about this, it would be considered an excuse.

But that's the truth. It's just a matter of whether Mengmeng can understand them and believe what they say.

Seeing their cautiousness, Mengmeng felt bad too. She took Ruolan and Gu Yinshen's hands at the same time and said, "Mom and Dad, Mengmeng has never blamed you. Mengmeng is just worried, worried that I can no longer be your daughter."

"How could that be?" Ruolan stroked Mengmeng, anxiously proving her feelings. "You are a precious gift from heaven, we cherish you so much, let alone abandon you."

"Yes, Mengmeng, don't worry, Dad will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly when I get back. I will prevent this from happening again," Gu Yinshen solemnly assured him.

He wanted to provide Mengmeng with a reasonable and evidence-based proof, and also to prevent such an absurd thing from happening again.

Fortunately, Mengmeng made a friend in Tangtang. After coming to the Gu family, she had no other good friends besides them. They really didn't know where Mengmeng would have gone or how miserable she would have become after what happened yesterday.

Thinking of this, Gu Yinshen turned to look towards the kitchen.

Tangtang was worried that they would scold Mengmeng, so she kept her small body pressed against the glass door and stared at them.

"Tangtang~" Gu Yinshen called out gently.

Standing at the top of the stairs, Tang Yibai pretended to have just come down from upstairs and greeted them with feigned surprise, "Mr. Gu, Mrs. Gu, when did you arrive?"

“Just now.” Gu Yinshen responded and politely stepped forward to greet her. “Thank you so much, Mr. Tang, for taking Mengmeng in last night. If it weren’t for you, we wouldn’t know if we would be able to see her today.”

Tang Yibai glanced at Gu Yinshen, feeling somewhat hesitant.

They had said goodbye after school last night, and I had questioned why they left without waiting for Mengmeng. But instead of realizing the problem with their actions, they still left.

Now I rushed to their home early this morning, looking for Mengmeng to apologize to her and thank them.

He couldn't understand the reasons they gave for this change of approach.

"Mr. Tang, do you have something to say?" Gu Yinshen asked.

Tang Yibai nodded. "There's something I'm not sure if I should say."

“Mr. Tang, you are welcome to ask directly. I will answer all your questions as long as I can.” Gu Yinshen replied.

"We met yesterday after school. I wonder if Mr. Gu remembers us?" Tang Yibai didn't make his intentions too explicit. After all, Mengmeng was still there, and he didn't want her young heart to be hurt again.

Did you get out of school last night?

Gu Yunshen thought for a moment, then asked uncertainly, "Have we really met?"

"You've forgotten all that?" Tang Yibai asked in surprise.

Gu Yinshen shook his head. "It's not that I forgot, it's just that that memory seems to have never appeared in my mind. I can't remember it at all."

Hearing these words, Tang Yibai was completely dumbfounded.

How could I have absolutely no recollection of this?

At first, the whole Gu family was chatting and laughing as they stood at the door waiting for Tian Tian to come out of the school. How long has it been, and they have no recollection of it at all?

He exhaled and solemnly reminded him, "Mr. Gu, I think you need to get it checked out."

In any case, the human brain does not become abnormal in a short period of time. If they can't remember anything at all now, there must be a problem with their brain.

Mengmeng listened from the side. Although she didn't understand what they were saying, she knew that her parents seemed to be sick, and that it was very serious.

She reached out and gently grasped Gu Yinshen's hand. "Daddy, Mengmeng can summon little butterflies now."

Since her mysterious fainting spell at the nursing home that day, Mengmeng had been weak for a short period, and Little Butterfly hadn't been able to come out of the space. After recovering these past few days, Little Butterfly has been able to emerge from the space normally again.

"No need." Gu Yinshen stroked Mengmeng's hair. "This is not a physical problem for your parents. In addition, your parents want to find out the cause of this. We have already contacted your Uncle Xie and asked him to extract some usable materials for experiments."

"But..." Mengmeng hesitated, unable to finish her sentence.

Ruolan hugged Mengmeng and gently stroked her back. "Don't worry, Mom and Dad have recovered now. We won't forget Mengmeng anymore, and we won't stop caring about her."

Mengmeng shook her head; that wasn't what she wanted to say.

Just then, the phone in Gu Yinshen's pocket rang urgently.

"Hey."

"what?"

Holding the phone, Gu Yinshen staggered back a few steps before looking ahead in disbelief.

Ruolan nervously tugged at Gu Yinshen's sleeve, "Who called?"

"Shi Yu was in a car accident and is currently being treated in the hospital." After Gu Yinshen finished speaking, Mengmeng grabbed his hand tightly.

"Dad, which hospital is my brother in? Come quickly, Mengmeng!" Mengmeng asked urgently.

The doctor may not be able to cure Gu Shiyu, but her little butterfly will surely have a way.

"We'll go there now." Gu Yinshen gripped his phone tightly while also holding Ruolan and Mengmeng's hands firmly.
