Su Qiao walked over. "Is the child all right now?"
Lin Mei quickly stood up. "She's fine. The doctor gave her some medicine. Nini just woke up and drank a little milk, then went back to sleep."
"Miss Su, Mr. Lu, thank you so much for everything today. If it weren't for you, I... I don't know what would have happened. Where would they have taken Nini?"
Lin Mei's eyes reddened again.
Whenever she thought about how, if they hadn't arrived in time, her daughter might have left her just like that, lost in the vast sea of people, never to be found again, her heart ached terribly.
"Don't thank us. It's enough that the child is all right."
Su Qiao bent down to examine the little one carefully, then gently touched her neck.
Seeing no abnormalities, she straightened and looked at Lin Mei again. "What do you plan to do from now on?"
"I don't know either."
Everything had happened so suddenly that Lin Mei was completely at a loss.
Su Qiao frowned slightly. "Your parents' home..."
"My parents' home is far away, more than two thousand kilometers from here, and besides..."
Lin Mei continued with a bitter smile. "Besides, our hometown is a small place with very old-fashioned ideas. If they found out that I'd gotten divorced and was raising a child, my parents, and my brother and sister-in-law... they would definitely drive me out."
Her father cared deeply about his reputation, her mother was weak-willed, and her brother had married a very domineering woman.
There was no place for her at her parents' home.
That was also one of the reasons she had kept putting up with everything all this time.
Su Qiao pondered for a moment, then took her pale gold phone from her jeans pocket.
