After a while, Ruan Zeyan and Ling Tao finally came back to the house with Ling Tianxin.
When she heard them coming in, Ling Tianya stood up excitedly. She gave Xiao Hong a scare, and Xiao Hong quickly grabbed her arms and said, “Will you please slow down? Don’t forget that you’re supposed to rest.”
Ling Tianya was so anxious to see Ling Tianxin that she had completely forgotten about her condition. When Xiao Hong reminded her, she stuck out her tongue mischievously. The two pregnant women then stood up and supported one another as they walked to the door to welcome Ling Tianxin.
Madame Ling looked extremely upset when she thought about that wretched jinx coming back, but she had no choice but to frown and follow unwillingly behind them.
Ruan Zeyan was standing at the door. The warm sunset cast a golden glow over him. His jawline was defined, and he looked extremely handsome. All the maids that came out to help were smitten by his looks.
When Xiao Hong walked out with Ling Tianya, he could tell that Ling Tianya was walking a lot faster than usual. Ruan Zeyan stepped forward immediately and took Ling Tianya’s hand to support her.
Xiao Hong smiled when she saw Ruan Zeyan taking such good care of Ling Tianya. She was happy to see them being so loving to one another. She secretly wanted Ling Tianya to be completely happy and healthy. Only then would she have strong backing for her child and herself in the future.
Xiao Hong and Ling Tianya had known each other for a long time. When she started as Ling Tao’s secretary, she had already heard about the young miss. After getting to know her, she realized that Ling Tianya wasn’t as ruthless and bossy as people made her out to be.
She was extremely tolerant and generous to those whom she cared about and those who weren’t a threat to her. She was a woman of her word, and she was never calculating.
Ling Tao helped a skinny girl to get out of the car. The girl was wearing a sky blue dress, had shoulder-length hair, and was wearing a big sun hat.
When she looked up, her eyes seemed blank and unfocused. She stared at the people and the house in front of her looking lost and helpless.
Ling Tianxin had been mentally tortured, and, after such a long illness, her brain was already severely damaged. Her intelligence was that of a seven or eight-year-old. She only had memories of what had happened eight years ago.
When she caught sight of Ling Tianxin, Ling Tianya burst into tears. She could no longer control her emotions. Tears were streaming down her face, and her body was shaking.
Ruan Zeyan didn’t want to see her like this. He knew that a pregnant woman could get quite emotional sometimes due to their hormones. Ling Tianya was supposed to be resting carefully for the sake of her fetus. Sudden volatile changes to her emotions were not ideal for her or the baby.
“Slow down and be careful of your body,” Ruan Zeyan reminded her gently.
Ling Tianya nodded her head and tried hard to regulate her own breathing, inhaling and exhaling slowly. Her eyes were still fixed on Ling Tianxin.
Ling Tao held onto Ling Tianxin’s hand and walked over, his smile was gentle and loving. “Tianxin, we’re home now.”
“We’re home?”
“Yeah, this is your home!” Ling Tao pointed at Ling Tianya. “She is your older sister. She’s called Ling Tianya. Do you still remember?”
“Tianxin…” Ling Tianya called out to her softly.
“Sister,” Ling Tianxin’s eyes were starting to focus as she stared at Ling Tianya. She started mumbling to herself, “Sister…”
She suddenly burst into tears as if she recalled what had happened when she was younger. She flung herself into Ling Tianya’s embrace and said, “Sister, Tianxin is scared, where have you been?”
When she heard Ling Tianxin say that, Ling Tianya could no longer hold back her tears, and she started sobbing while hugging her sister tightly.
Although Ruan Zeyan was worried about her, he didn’t disturb the two sisters’ reunion this time. It wasn’t easy for them to reunite after so long apart.
Ling Tao was moved as he watched the two sisters. He felt guilty watching their reunion.
This was all his fault. He was the reason why this had happened.
