Her voice was shaky . She was evidently frightened .
Shen Luo’an was taken aback . He quickly crouched down and grabbed her by the arm . “What did you say?”
Manting gasped and shrank back with a jerk . Tears ran down her face and her body was shaking as she shouted, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I was wrong! Please, Uncle, let me go . I’ll never dare to steal again!”
Her voice was tinged with remorse and guilt .
Shen Luo’an felt a biting pain in his heart .
He stared at her in disbelief . His heart ached for her .
Shen Manting was almost on her knees, pleading profusely .
“That’s enough!”
Shen Luo’an shouted at her in frustration . Then, he pulled her close and held her in a tight embrace .
Shen Manting was stunned and couldn’t help quivering .
“That’s enough, that’s enough…”
Shen Luo’an’s voice was shaking with indescribable despair .
He buried his face in her collarbone and muttered in a trembling voice, “I’ve had enough, Manting . I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m so sorry…”
Shen Manting was baffled . She didn’t know how to respond .
However, she was comforted by the warmth emanating from the man holding her close . Her initial fear and panic dissipated .
She was overcome with emotion and felt an inexplicable ache in her heart .
Yet, logical reason soon took over .
She gently nudged him away . “Uncle…”
Shen Luo’an released her from his grip and stared at her blank expression . He stood up and said, “Get up, I’ll take you home . ”
Take me… home?
Shen Manting was frightened . She pushed Shen Luo’an away and shouted, “Uncle, I…”
“Don’t call me Uncle!” Shen Luo’an raised his voice .
He turned around to see Shen Manting looking back at him fearfully .
He felt sorry for her and lowered his voice, coaxing her softly, “Come to the ward with me first . We’ll let the doctor examine you . ”
Shen Manting looked around her .
She was surrounded by various medical equipment in the room . Many around her were wearing hospital gowns .
The pungent smell of medicine and disinfectant permeated the air .
Shen Manting suddenly panicked and burst into tears . She cried, “Did I fall sick again? Is the head doctor angry at me?”
Shen Luo’an held her hands in his and slowly rose to his feet .
Then, he broke down in tears .
He covered his face with his hand and sobbed quietly .
Soon, Shen Luo’an led Shen Manting through the crowd and left the room .
Shen Manting remained silent . She was trailing behind Shen Luo’an, sobbing .
“Stop crying,” Shen Luo’an whispered . Then, he pulled her close with one hand . “I’ll take you for a check-up first . Just answer any questions the doctor asks . Do you understand?”
Shen Manting stared at him blankly and nodded . She sniffled and replied, “Yes, I understand . ”
Shen Luo’an picked up his mobile phone and called Shen Zhilie .
“Did you find her?”
As soon as he hung up, he heard an old man’s voice .
Shen Manting turned in the direction of the voice to see a kindly man walking toward them .
He was carrying a child and looked about fifty or sixty years old .
Shen Longyue was shocked to see Shen Manting . He was choked with emotion . “This is great news . You’ve finally woken up!”
Shen Yuexiao saw Shen Manting with her eyes open for the first time . He looked at her curiously and hesitated for a moment before uttering, “Mommy?”
When Shen Manting heard the child calling out for his mother, she looked around, feeling confused . Then, her gaze landed on Shen Luo’an . She stared at him in astonishment and exclaimed, “You… you’re a woman?”
But… but…
He had stubble on his chin and a visible lump in his throat . There was no way he could have been the child’s mother!
