736 So Much To Do (1/2)

Zhao Huan had been crying non-stop since the time she came. She couldn't help it anymore. No matter how hard she tried to keep herself strong, she couldn't do it. She had stayed strong for years only because she had nothing to lose. But now that she had finally found another reason to live in the form of a daughter, how could she bear to lose her again?

This was complete torture for her. Xin Zemin had been hugging her and continued to rub her back in a soothing manner but he knew he couldn't help her right now. Nothing he said would make a difference. The importance of a child in his wife's life, he knew it well. If he didn't know why else would he agree with Wen Ai's plan back then?

He did it all for his wife. Just to make her happy. No matter how much love and care he gave her. No matter how much he devoted himself to her, she still had a void in her heart even after years. She always felt incomplete. And that void could only be filled with the presence of a child.

Even if he just met his daughter, it didn't mean he was willing to lose her as well. Which father would want to lose his daughter? For years, he had imagined what would be like if his daughter was alive whom he never even got to hold in his arms? But now that he finally had a chance to embrace that daughter through a miracle, he was sent back into the valley of despair and helplessness.

Zhao Huan clutched his shirt as she choked out, ”She'll be fine, right?”

It took Xin Zemin a lot of effort to nod his head as he said, ”She'll be fine. She won't leave us again.”

”I can't lose her again,” said Zhao Huan. ”I didn't even get to hug her enough. I haven't even cooked anything delicious for her yet. And I didn't even go shopping with her as other mother-daughter pairs do. I still have to shower her with all the love I couldn't give her in the past years. I still have so much to do...” she sobbed uncontrollably.

”She knows,” he blinked his eyes to not let his tears fall. He didn't want to break down before his wife. She was only holding on because of him. So, he had to be strong for her sake. ”She is our daughter. She is definitely strong. She won't succumb to this. I believe in her. You should also believe in her. She knows her parents are waiting for her. She won't disappoint us.”

Zhao Huan silently sobbed against his chest.

When Xin Zimen came back, this was the scene he was met with. He had checked up on Darren before coming and after making sure that he wasn't in danger, he made his way here. Actually, looking around was just an excuse he was using to stay away from this place. He didn't want to let his emotions get the best of him. So, he was keeping himself busy.

Xin Xiaoli who had been sitting in silence, noticed his father's presence and asked, ”Did you find the culprit?”
