Chapter 601: Sister, What Exactly Are You Trying to Find? (6)
After hearing this, Si Jingyu lifted her head to look at him.
Yao Teng continued, “I’ve asked before… The people at the front desk who talked to you were all villains, but you still went along with them because you were hoping that they were child traffickers and you’d then be able to locate the child through them, right?”
Her throat suddenly choking, Si Jingyu was silenced by this.
Yao Teng spoke further. “Jingyu, you were so intelligent in the past, and you were always able to see things clearly. But why are you now so silly? You knew that they were frauds, so why did you follow them? Legends about deserted islands are even more preposterous, you…”
As he spoke up ’til here, he saw Si Jingyu’s eyes reddening. He abruptly stopped in his tracks, the words he wanted to continue saying now stuck in his throat.
Then, he saw large drops of tears fall from Si Jingyu’s eyes.
With a pained expression, she reached out and buried her face in her hands. “Don’t continue, don’t continue!”
She was silly, she was stupid.
But she had been searching for three whole years!
Three years!
She had been searching aimlessly for the past three years, traveling all over the country with no clue.
She was really going to break down.
In particular, the last time she saw Bai Yue bringing the child in and seeing that Shi Jinyan finally had his own child… her heart had been violently twisted.
What about her own child?
If her child was still alive, he or she would probably be around the same age as Bai Yue’s.
But she didn’t even know if the child was a boy or a girl!
When she had heard that the deserted island near Big Rock City had a three- to four-year-old child ghost lingering around, she had been unable to stop herself from wondering if her child had been trafficked by some foreigners and thrown into the sea before finally floating to the shore of the deserted island.
Even though she had known how ridiculous such thoughts were, she had felt like there was a string pulling her toward it, dragging her toward the island.
What if?
What if it had been her child?
So, she had gone over… only to be disappointed once again.
After that, she met the child traffickers from Hebei. When they had made contact with her, she had known immediately that they weren’t to be trusted, but she had still held on to that little bit of hope.
She had hoped that her child would be one of the children being trafficked.
But her child wasn’t there…
Wasn’t there!
Si Jingyu rubbed her hands on her face, trying to wipe away the tears. But the more she rubbed, the more the tears came. Eventually, her tears began falling uncontrollably.
Three years of loneliness, three years of pain, three years of keeping this secret… everything was now exploding at this very moment. She was finally releasing all of her emotions.
All of a sudden, she reached out and grabbed hold of Yao Teng. Burying her face into his shoulder, she began crying painfully and noiselessly.

When Zhuang Nainai arrived at the hospital, Si Zhengting was standing on the balcony at the end of the corridor, on the phone with someone. Spotting his silhouette, she went over to greet him.
Si Zhengting was coldly speaking into the phone. “Okay, let’s do it that way.”
With that, Si Zhengting pointed Zhuang Nainai toward Si Jingyu’s ward. It was then that Zhuang Nainai made an expression of having an epiphany.
With one hand gesturing a phone sign toward Si Zhengting and her other hand pointing toward herself then to the ward door, the meaning of her motions was obvious: “You take the call first, I’ll go in to have a look.”
Si Zhengting nodded.
The noiseless interaction between the two of them was full of warmth and understanding. Zhuang Nainai smiled and walked toward the room, giving Si Zhengting a final wave before turning her head toward the ward.
She had wanted to give Jingyu a surprise, but the moment she pushed open the door…
