Chapter 1260 - The Story of Ling and Heng (523) (1/2)

But what external factors could it be? There was no one in the vicinity, and there were signs that prohibited tourists from approaching. Knowing that the jungle was not under anyone’s control and was not safe, no one dared to approach it.

She had reason to suspect that someone had set the fire on purpose.

But there were no surveillance cameras nearby.

Walking back to the breakroom, Feng Ling put down the two glasses of water. In fact, she didn’t know how to comfort the old couple, but they had obviously been through a lot. In the beginning, they were indeed emotionally unstable, anxious, and agitated. Now, they had calmed down.

Grandfather Feng sat on the chair in the lounge and sighed. From time to time, he would ask the members guarding the base about the situation in the emergency room. He wanted to know how bad the state of his son and daughter-in-law was when they were rescued. The members of the base did not know. They only knew that the survival rate was very low. At this time, they could not be provoked, so they could only answer with their ignorance.

Grandmother Feng sat there, her eyes still red. When she saw Feng Ling, she turned to look at her.

When Feng Ling went to fetch the water, she turned on the tap and washed her face with cold water. Although her eyes were slightly swollen, they were not too obvious. She had already taken off her sunglasses.

Looking into the old lady’s eyes, she gently placed the disposable cup filled with warm water in her hand. “Drink some water first to calm down.”

Old Madam Feng looked at her with mixed feelings. She wanted to say something, but when she heard that Feng Ling seemed to have lived there when she was a child, her heart ached for her. She wanted to take her child back and love her, but she didn’t expect this to happen.

Now seeing such a living granddaughter standing in front of him, with delicate features and a mature and upright character, even if she was not raised in a place like the Feng family, she was clearly a very outstanding and sensible child. She was much more mature than those spoiled young ladies from wealthy families.

She had a lot to say, but when she saw her, she couldn’t say a word. She held the cup in one hand and held Feng Ling’s hand with the other, refusing to let go. She said gently, “Child, the Feng family has let you down.”

Feng Ling was stunned for a moment. She smiled at the old lady. “No, now is not the time to talk about this. Please relax.”

Seeing that she was so sensible, Grandmother Feng felt even worse. She put down the cup and held her hand. “Let me hold you properly, will you?”

Feng Ling stood by her side and didn’t speak. Grandmother Feng looked at her with heartache. “I… Grandma… I just want to hug you. I know you’re worried about your parents. You’re so sensible. Your grandfather and I are also worried about them, but you’re the child we lost for twenty years. Right now, I just want to hug you properly…”

Feng Ling looked at her and nodded gently.

Grandmother Feng immediately choked up. She resisted the urge to cry and held Feng Ling in her arms. Although she was old, she used to be a famous model in the American Chinese society. Her height had shrunk after she grew older, but she was not short. In front of Feng Ling, she could hold the thin Feng Ling in her arms and hold her like an elder protecting a child.
