After a blind date, a wealthy heir asked me to marry him.

"Dr. Zeng?"

After Lu's mother finished speaking, she didn't hear a response for a long time, so she called out.

"Huh?" Zeng Huizhen looked up, somewhat bewildered.

She was so lost in thought that she didn't hear what Lu's mother said next.

'November 11'

'The time I found her...'

Lu Ma's two sentences lingered in her mind, refusing to leave her for a long time.

Despite Zeng Huizhen's repeated attempts to convince herself that it was just a coincidence and that Lu Shiyi could not possibly be her daughter.

But deep down, I couldn't help but want to delve deeper and explore.

She even fantasized that a miracle might actually happen in this world, and that it might happen to her.

“You must be very uncomfortable with your clothes wet. Why don’t you go and change your clothes? I won’t bother you any longer,” Aunt Lu repeated.

"No need, no need to change it, it'll dry in a bit, it's fine," Zeng Huizhen replied with a smile.

After a moment's hesitation, she continued, "Well, um, would you mind if I asked..."

Zeng Huizhen had only asked half of her question when there was a knock on the office door.

It is Fu Cheng.

He called Lu Shiyi on his way to the hospital today.

During the phone call, he also specifically asked about Lu's parents' situation.

Mr. Lu remained in a deep coma with almost no chance of waking up, while Mrs. Lu was unusually calm after waking up from her coma, without any major emotional fluctuations.

Upon learning that Lu's mother had gone to the obstetrics and gynecology department on the third floor to express her gratitude to Aunt Zeng for saving Yao Yao, we learned that Lu's mother had gone to the department on the third floor to express her gratitude.

After arriving at the hospital, Fu Cheng went directly to the third floor.

It wasn't for seeking praise in the past. Although Zeng Huizhen was able to save Yaoyao back then, it was indeed because of his call for help.

But he went to the third floor for another reason.

He had something to say to Lu's mother alone.

When they saw that the person who came was Fu Cheng, both Lu Ma and Zeng Huizhen were somewhat surprised.

"Xiao Cheng? What brings you here?" Aunt Lu asked first.

Zeng Huizhen's question was naturally interrupted.

“I heard from Eleven that you were here, so I came over.”

After saying that, he took out a heart-shaped lock and a letter from his pocket.

He knew Aunt Zeng's character, so he didn't try to hide anything and simply took the things out and handed them to Aunt Lu.

This was given to him by Lu's father when he asked him to help investigate Lu Shiyi's background.

Unfortunately, so far he hasn't found any useful information.

Fu Cheng knew that this was what his father-in-law was most concerned about, so it was most appropriate to hand it back to his mother-in-law.

“These were given to me by my father when he told me what to do. There’s no conclusion to this matter yet, but I will continue to investigate. These things are not needed for the time being, so…”

Lu's mother raised her hand and slowly took it. "Your father told me about this. Thank you, Xiao Cheng."

Life is full of regrets, more or less. After Lu's father was diagnosed with a brain tumor, the two of them discussed that they wanted to help their eldest daughter find her biological parents before they died.

Both of them have deeply experienced how desolate it is to have few family members and no relatives to help you.

Lu's mother became an orphan at a very young age. In those days, it was not easy to survive. Later, she met Lu's father when she was a teenager, and from then on, Lu's father became her only support.

She knew all too well how heartbreaking it was for a child without parental support, which was why she always treated Lu Shiyi as her own daughter.

The expensive love lock shows that Eleven's biological parents still love her.

Therefore, she and her husband discussed their idea of ​​helping their daughter find her biological parents.

She knew that Shiyi would eventually find out about her origins. She also knew that people like them, with their experiences, all harbored a deep-seated obsession. Whether they were lost or abandoned, whether they loved or hated their biological parents, deep down, they all longed to see them, to see them with their own eyes…

She had no hope left, and only hoped that her daughter would have no regrets.

Lu's mother slowly put away the things she had received.

She knew that her son-in-law had done his best, so she should leave it to fate.

"jingle……"

It was the sound of the bells on the love lock jingling.

Zeng Huizhen, who was standing to the side, looked up without realizing it.

"May I see the bell in your hand?" she asked abruptly, standing up abruptly.

At that moment, she even started to feel a chill run down her spine.

Even if all she saw was a fleeting afterimage of a golden chain being put into a pocket.

“This is not a bell, this is…” As Lu Ma was speaking, she saw that Dr. Zeng had already walked up to her.

Seeing this, Fu Cheng quickly asked, "Aunt Zeng, have you seen this heart-shaped lock before?"

Zeng Huizhen did not answer.

She took the love lock and looked at it repeatedly in her hand.

The urgency in his eyes seemed to burn right through the golden lock.

Finally, she found two tiny letters hidden on the back of the lock.

Due to the passage of time, the letters have become somewhat blurred.

But she could recognize it, even if it was just an outline.

The two letters are D and Z, and there's a heart-shaped symbol between them.

"Where did you find this love lock?" Zeng Huizhen suddenly grabbed Lu's mother's hand.

The force was so great that it instantly triggered Lu's mother's pain, causing her to wince.

As she frowned, she noticed Dr. Zeng's unusual behavior and asked the same question she had just asked Fu Cheng, "Dr. Zeng, have you seen this heart-shaped lock before?"

"Tell me first, where did you get this love lock from?" Zeng Huizhen's voice trembled.

Her words and demeanor lacked their usual composure and wisdom; she seemed to have been subjected to some kind of shock, completely different from her usual self.

“This is my daughter Lu Shiyi’s. I mentioned to you before that Shiyi isn’t my biological daughter. When we found her, she was wearing this love lock. Dr. Zeng, do you recognize this love lock? Could you…”

Seeing Dr. Zeng's reaction, Lu's mother was also a little excited; perhaps Dr. Zeng really did know.

Upon hearing Lu Ma's words, Zeng Huizhen burst into tears, murmuring to herself, "Eleven, it's Lu Eleven, alive, actually still alive..."

Standing to the side, Fu Cheng stared intently at the scene before him with his deep, dark eyes.

He had never seen Aunt Zeng so emotionally out of control before.

Could it be...

However, he had never heard of Aunt Zeng getting married or having children...

Zeng Huizhen held the love lock tightly in her hand and held onto the desk next to her with the other hand. She stood there half-leaning and it took her a long time to calm down.

During this time, Fu Cheng and Lu's mother stood quietly to the side without asking any further questions.

“I have indeed seen this love lock before.” Zeng Huizhen slowly raised her head.

“But it’s almost time for my afternoon clinic hours. Can we talk privately at another time?” Zeng Huizhen said, looking at Lu Ma.

"But I'm leaving Nanshi this afternoon..."

Actually, Lu's mother hoped to find out the truth about her daughter Lu Shiyi's background as soon as possible.

"It's alright, no matter where you are, I will visit you in person!"

After saying that, Zeng Huizhen turned around and hugged Lu Ma tightly.

"Dr. Zeng, you..." Lu's mother was caught off guard by the hug.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart..." Zeng Huizhen kept repeating.

At this moment, even a thousand "thank yous" wouldn't be enough to express her heartfelt gratitude...
