Love is as vast as the Milky Way, impossible to cross.

After the dinner, Huo Muchen's friends moved to the living room, where they enjoyed fine wine and chatted about their interesting stories while listening to melodious music.

Zhao Zixun's gaze kept sweeping over Liu Shiyin, who was busy at work, his eyes sparkling with curiosity and inquiry.

Finally, he couldn't help but ask Huo Muchen:

"Mu Chen, is that girl a new maid? I've never seen her before."

Upon hearing this, Huo Muchen looked up at Liu Shiyin, took a sip of red wine, and replied calmly:

"Her name is Liu Shiyin. She's not a maid; she's a special person in my family."

Zhao Zixun seemed dissatisfied with Huo Muchen's answer. He raised an eyebrow and continued to press:

"A special person? How so?"

Huo Muchen didn't answer directly, but changed the subject and started talking about other things. However, Zhao Zixun seemed to have developed a strong interest in Liu Shiyin, and kept stealing glances at her from time to time.

This scene, witnessed by Huo Muchen, stirred a strange sense of irritation within him.

He found himself starting to notice Zhao Zixun's attention towards Liu Shiyin. This subtle emotional shift left Huo Muchen feeling somewhat confused and conflicted.

Liu Shiyin, completely unaware that she had become the focus of attention between the two young masters, continued to busily move between the living room and the kitchen, providing attentive service to the guests.

As night fell and guests gradually left, Liu Shiyin remained busy until late at night, but she was very happy because tomorrow was Monday.

Every Monday, Liu Shiyin enjoys her precious rest time.

On this day, she never chooses to relax at home, but instead goes to the hospital to visit her beloved mother.

Despite facing her mother's unfamiliar gaze and the reality that she could not be recognized each time, Liu Shiyin never gave up.

The next morning, Liu Shiyin arrived at the hospital early. The hospital was filled with the smell of disinfectant, and people were coming and going in the corridors.

Liu Shiyin gently pushed open the door to the ward, and what came into view was her mother's familiar yet unfamiliar face.

The mother's eyes were vacant, as if covered by the dust of time, and could no longer focus on her beloved daughter.

"Mom, it's me, Shishi. I've come to see you again."

Liu Shiyin spoke softly, her voice filled with tenderness and joy.

She sat by her mother's bedside, holding her mother's thin hands, trying to convey her warmth to her.

However, her mother did not respond; her eyes remained empty and lifeless. Sometimes, her mother would even suddenly yell at Liu Shiyin, as if she were a stranger.

During these moments, Liu Shiyin's heart was breaking, but she never gave up hope. She knew that her mother had once been such a loving and gentle person, and she must also hope to recognize her daughter.

Every time Liu Shiyin comes, she talks to her mother, telling her about her daily life and sharing her joys and sorrows.

She tried to use these familiar voices and details to awaken her mother's deep-seated memories. Although her mother never gave her the response she expected, Liu Shiyin never felt disappointed or desperate.

She believed that as long as she persisted, one day her mother would recognize her again.

This belief and perseverance gave Liu Shiyin strength amidst the pain, and made her cherish every moment with her mother even more.

The afternoon sunlight streamed through the window into the ward, bringing a touch of warmth to the somewhat dull space.

Liu Shiyin decided to take advantage of the nice weather to give her mother a bath, hoping to make her feel more comfortable.

She gently helped her mother up and prepared to take her to the bathroom.

However, while helping her mother change her clothes, Liu Shiyin unexpectedly discovered several bruises on her mother's body.
