The same mistake couldn't be made twice by a teenager.
His younger sister couldn't withstand him making the same mistake a second time, either.
"We understand..."
The man smiled bitterly.
These past few days had truly been agonizing for them.
Their daughter had gone missing.
The root of the whole matter still lay with their son.
Although they were angry with their son,
they would never truly vent all their anger on him.
They didn't even have time to be angry.
But when they were disappointed, when they were anxious and restless, when they faintly felt a trace of despair...
When they needed an outlet for their emotions...
they couldn't find anyone to blame.
In the end, the only people they could blame were themselves.
They hadn't looked after their child properly...
Their bodies and minds were suffering more and more.
Mother Zhang said nothing more.
Some things were best left at that.
If she said too much, people would only grow annoyed.
Besides, after running around everywhere for so many days, the couple was tired too.
Whatever they had to say, once they saw Linlin tomorrow, the couple would naturally have their own thoughts.
She shouldn't interfere in someone else's family matters.
"All right."
"I won't bother you any longer."
Mother Zhang waved her hand.
"I'm leaving."
"You should get some rest early too."
"At least you'll finally be able to sleep well tonight."
Mother Zhang smiled.
"You two should tidy yourselves up as well."
"Don't go see Linlin looking like this tomorrow. She might not even recognize her own parents."
"Mm."
The woman bowed slightly to Mother Zhang.
"Auntie, thank you so, so much."
"And thank you to your son as well."
"It's all thanks to you that we were able to find Linlin."
"Thank you..."
