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

Liu Shiyin rushed to the hospital, her heart filled with deep worry and longing for her mother.

When she pushed open the door to the ward, her gaze was immediately drawn to her frail mother lying on the hospital bed.

However, the mother's eyes looked so unfamiliar and confused, as if she no longer recognized the daughter she once loved so deeply.

Liu Shiyin's heart sank instantly. She gripped her mother's hand tightly and called out softly:

"Mom, it's me, Shishi. I've come to see you. Please look at me."

But the mother did not respond; she simply stared silently ahead, as if her soul had drifted to a distant, unknown world.

Liu Shiyin's heart sank to the bottom; she couldn't accept the reality of her mother's transformation. She anxiously asked the doctor:

"Doctor, what's wrong with my mother? Why doesn't she recognize me?"

The doctor sighed helplessly and explained:

"Your mother has a brain tumor. Although the surgery successfully removed the tumor, she experienced some complications after the surgery, which led to cognitive impairment. She may now be unable to recognize anyone or communicate normally."

Upon hearing this news, Liu Shiyin felt as if her heart was being torn apart. Looking at her mother's once familiar and kind face, which now seemed so strange and empty, tears welled up in her eyes.

She hugged her mother tightly, trying to awaken her memory with her warmth. She sobbed softly.

"Mom, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry..."

Liu Shiyin knew that she and her mother had already gone through too many hardships, and now that her mother had become like this, the road ahead would be even more difficult.

But she also understood that she couldn't give up; she had to support her mother.

She wiped away her tears, gently stroked her mother's cheek, and said firmly:

"Mom, don't worry, I'll always be by your side to take care of you until you recover. You have to be strong, okay?"

As night fell, Liu Shiyin ended her long wait at the hospital. She had arranged everything for her mother, ensuring she would receive attentive care throughout the night.

However, when she was about to leave the hospital and return to her residence, she discovered that she had missed the last bus. She didn't have enough money for a taxi and had no choice but to walk home.

The night wind was a bit chilly, and Liu Shiyin tightened her coat.

She walked slowly along the street, her heart filled with worry and confusion about the future.

She knew that no matter what difficulties she encountered, she had to face them bravely, because she still had her mother to take care of and her own future to strive for.

Liu Shiyin strolled alone on her way home. The night was as dark as ink, gradually encroaching on the entire street, as if to swallow everything in this boundless darkness.

However, in the deep darkness of the night, the streetlights, like guardians, emitted a faint but steadfast light, illuminating Liu Shiyin's path forward.

A gentle breeze swept by, bringing a touch of coolness and stirring Liu Shiyin's thin clothes. Her long hair fluttered in the wind, like a tenacious butterfly struggling in the wind and rain, yet refusing to give in.

After walking through countless streets, Liu Shiyin finally caught sight of the outline of the Huo family villa. She felt a sense of relief and quickened her pace.

Just then, a black sports car slowly drove up from behind, with Huo Muchen in the driver's seat.

He was driving his sports car in the night when he inadvertently caught a glimpse of Liu Shiyin in his rearview mirror.

He noticed that Liu Shiyin was still wearing the same white dress she wore at noon, the hem swaying gently in the night breeze, like a pure white lotus flower.

In the early autumn breeze, Liu Shiyin's figure appeared so thin and frail, as if a gust of wind could make her sway precariously.
