When Qiao Lian and Shen Liangchuan got back to Xia Yehua's apartment and entered the house, they saw Auntie Li sitting by the door. The moment the housekeeper saw the couple, she immediately said, ”Sir, Madam, you're finally home. Your mother, she- sigh!”

Qiao Lian paused for a moment and then asked anxiously, ”What happened?”

Auntie Li spoke in a low voice, ”She had very little to eat today.”

On hearing this, Qiao Lian was taken aback and hurriedly asked, ”Where's Mom?”

”Upstairs.”

Qiao Lian gave Shen Liangchuan a glance and said, ”Let's go see her.”

Upon reaching the upper floor, the couple found Xia Yehua lying on the sofa at the balcony. She sat there under the sun with her eyes closed.

For unknown reasons, both of them could feel her solitude and loneliness as they looked at her resting figure.

When Song Yuanxi had been around, she had accompanied Xia Yehua, whether it was to chat or water the plants or to read. But now Song Yuanxi was not around…

Qiao Lian suddenly felt somewhat sad in her heart.

She bit her lip and took a step forward.

Hearing the movement, Xia Yehua turned around.

Her eyes lit up when she saw them. ”You're back!”

Qiao Lian nodded and suggested, ”Mom, why don't we ask Yuanxi to come home and stay?”

Immediately, Xia Yehua shook her head. ”No, there's no need to.”

After saying that, she smiled. ”I know what you're thinking. But that child has done something wrong and she should be punished. It's just a temporary separation, no big deal. It's good that she doesn't forget that you are one of our family members and also her sister-in-law.”

Her words warmed Qiao Lian's heart.

Xia Yehua… did consider her a part of the family.

That was why she didn't want Qiao Lian to feel unimportant.

Qiao Lian and Shen Liangchuan chatted with her for a while before the couple retired to their bedroom.
