Memories from two lifetimes overlap.

The tinnitus almost overwhelmed Tang Xia's brain; she swayed and barely managed to steady herself.

But at this moment, her eyesight and hearing were exceptionally good.

Lin Yiyue secretly tugged at Lin An'an's hand.

Her son, as if he had been trained beforehand, immediately grabbed Qiao Zhiyu's arm and cried out, "Uncle Qiao, will Mom be alright? She's been so tired these past few days, and she often faints at home, but she didn't want me to tell you, because she didn't want you to worry. Uncle Qiao, you're a doctor, you have to save my mom!"

"Don't worry, An'an, I will definitely not let anything happen to your mother! Tang Xia—"

Qiao Zhiyu turned around, only to find that Tang Xia and the child were no longer at the door.

A cold wind swept through the corridor and blew onto his face.

Qiao Zhiyu subconsciously wanted to stand up, but Lin An'an pulled her back.

"Uncle Qiao, Mom's eyes just moved. Is she about to wake up?"

With no other option, Qiao Zhiyu had to give up on pursuing Tang Xia.

Nevertheless, he looked up at the elderly couple standing beside him and said, "Mom and Dad, go and check on Tang Xia and the child. If I can't get there in time, please help her call a taxi."

"Okay, okay, we'll go right now."

Qiao's mother grabbed her husband and went out.

But just as he reached the door, he suddenly stopped.

Mr. Qiao was also puzzled: "Why aren't we leaving?"

"You idiot!" Qiao's mother scolded in a low voice, "That child is obviously destined to die young. I've figured it out these past few days. Tang Xia said she would have a second child, but she was just fooling me. As long as this girl is still alive, she won't have another one."

After hearing what she said, Mr. Qiao probably understood a little.

"So, you want to take this opportunity to... isn't that too cruel?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Qiao's mother pinched him hard.

"I'm cruel? I'm only being cruel for the sake of your Qiao family! You'll thank me when you hold your grandson in your arms. Besides, it's not our fault that she got sick. It's all her mother's fault for not taking good care of her. We've done more than enough to raise them for so long."

Qiao's mother spoke in a high-sounding manner, but it was extremely ironic.

"Alright, let's not stand here anymore, let's go."

"You don't care about what's outside, but you don't care about what's inside either?" Mr. Qiao peeked into the house. "I see you usually have a pretty good relationship with Xiaoyue."

Mrs. Qiao glanced at her husband speechlessly and shook her head.

She's been faking illness ever since Tang Xia walked in the door. Does she think she can't tell if Tang Xia is really sick?

-

The rain was getting heavier and heavier.

Tang Xia held the child in one arm and used the other to hail a taxi.

But at this time, it's the hardest time to hail a taxi.

Even though she had already raised the price as much as possible, the nearest one would still take more than twenty minutes to get over.

Seeing Niannian's breathing grow weaker and weaker, Tang Xia was so anxious that she bit her lip until it bled.

Just then, an old man returned from outside.

Tang Xia immediately stepped forward, carrying the child, her voice choked with emotion: "Uncle, could you please watch my child? My child is sick, and I need to take her to the hospital, but I can't get a taxi. I'll go find one right now..."

The old man was about to agree, but after glancing at the dying child, he immediately withdrew his hand, his face full of gloom, and said, "You're not trying to scam me, are you? If this child dies in my arms, I won't be able to explain myself no matter how many mouths I have."

"No...that's not the case..."

Tang Xia wanted to explain, but the old man had already waved his hand and left.

Tang Xia knelt helplessly on the ground, pleading with God not to take her daughter away again...

"Little girl, what's wrong with you?"

A kind voice suddenly came from behind me.

Tang Xia grasped at her like a lifeline, and even wanted to kowtow to her.

"No, no, no! Tell me what happened!"

"Grandma, my child is sick, and I need to find a car to take her to the hospital. Could you please watch over her for me? She can't get wet in the rain!"

Upon hearing this, the old lady immediately dropped the vegetables she was holding, took the child, and said, "Go quickly!"

At this moment, Tang Xia disregarded everything else and turned to rush into the torrential rain.

"You should at least bring an umbrella!"

The old lady ultimately failed to hand over her umbrella.

Looking at the baby in her arms, she couldn't help but show a look of heartache: "Poor child, your mother has really risked her life for you. You must hold on, do you hear me?"

Because of the heavy rain, there was no one to be seen in the neighborhood.

Tang Xia could only run to the road outside the gate to flag down a car, hoping to meet a kind person.

She thought, "Run faster, faster!"

This will buy Nian Nian some time.

But the rain was too heavy and the ground was too slippery.

Tang Xia fell countless times along the way.

But each time, she almost never paused, enduring the excruciating pain, and immediately got up.

Finally, she saw a car that had just come out of the underground parking garage.

She immediately rushed over and stood in front of the car.

Fortunately, the car wasn't going fast; otherwise, they would definitely have collided at that distance.

The man in the car was also startled. He immediately rolled down the window and yelled, "Are you crazy?! You suddenly rushed out like that! You might not care about your life, but I do!"

"I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry! But could you please take my child to the hospital? She's very, very sick!"

The older brother was stunned by her words.

He initially thought she must be crazy, but he was also afraid that what she said might be true.

After thinking for a few seconds, he gritted his teeth and decided to believe her.

"Okay, hurry up and bring your child here!" After saying that, he glanced at the rain outside and called Tang Xia back, "Get in the car first, we'll drive to pick you up. It's too much of a waste of time to bring the child back when you get home!"

Tang Xia finally saw hope.

She opened the car door, got in, and gave her building number.

Without further delay, the older brother immediately turned around and drove the car into the residential area.

However, this man had just moved in and wasn't familiar with the roads in the neighborhood. In addition, the heavy rain affected his visibility, and he made the wrong turn several times.

Tang Xia immediately decided to get out of the car and give him directions.

The biting wind and piercing rain lashed down on the frail woman.

But there was no sign of retreat on her face.

Even a stranger who didn't know her couldn't help but be moved by this maternal love.

When the old woman saw the figure running in the heavy rain, she didn't even see the face clearly before she knew it must be the girl from before. She immediately stood at the door with the child in her arms, waiting for her to come over.

"grandmother!"

"Son, have you found the car?"

"found it!"

Tang Xia wanted to take the child, but as soon as she reached out, she realized that she was soaked in sweat and felt cold.

Before she could even speak, the old woman said directly, "I'll go with you!"

Tang Xia then noticed that the old lady had taken off her coat and wrapped it around Niannian.

At that moment, she felt a mix of emotions.

Her lover, whom she once regarded as family, abandoned her like trash, while a complete stranger, whom she had just met, offered her help without any hesitation.

Before getting on the bus, Tang Xia looked up at her former home.

The rain washed away her tears, leaving only a heart full of hatred.

Qiao Zhiyu, Lin Yiyue, I will definitely not let you get away with this!
