Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
It was already midnight; Lina was someone that prioritized self-care. Unless there were very crucial matters on hand, she definitely wouldn’t compromise on her beauty sleep.
However, she couldn’t seem to fall asleep today. There was something on her mind making her unable to settle down.
Cheng Chen had set off at night. Lina wasn’t familiar with the country nor was she familiar with the cities surrounding the current city she was in. So she was clueless of the whereabouts of Cheng Chen and how things were going. She didn’t know if he found Huang Ying’s elder brother, Huang Long, or if he managed to ask them about Huang Ying’s daughter’s real ident.i.ty.
All these things made it impossible for Lina to settle down. In her clutches were a few strands of hair. If something really happened to her daughter, then these few strands of hair would be the last thing she would have in memory of her.
At the thought of that, Lina began crying her heart out.
From the time she gave birth to that child until now, in the past twenty-plus years, she had never once forgotten about her child.
Lina had always placed her carefully in the deepest part of her mind, where no one could reach, even she herself didn’t dare to reach. So she had put all her time and energy into work. That was the very reason why her company could rapidly expand into the establishment it was today.
But gradually, she found that it became meaningless. She had no child and she had nothing else, so what was the point of putting so much hard work into her business?
It was precisely because she started finding it meaningless, that she said that the company would be handed over to her a.s.sistant to manager in the future.
Initially, she had trusted Eric greatly. That was until Xu Cheng was found.
She had entrusted everything to Eric to manage. But what she didn’t expect was that because of the trust she had invested in Eric, it made him become scheming and one that fawned over others for his benefit. It also indirectly led him to cause harm to her biological daughter.
If that was really the case, then Lina would spend the rest of her life, drowned in self-blame.
Just then, her phone suddenly rang.
The only person who would make a call now, without a doubt, would be Cheng Chen.
At the thought of her daughter’s possible whereabouts, Lina wiped her tears. Quickly picking up the phone, her hurried tone carried traces of her choking up. “How are things going? Have you reached City H? Did you find Huang Long? What about our daughter! Is there any news of her?”
At the barrage of questions and her voice, it was not hard to tell that she was crying just now.
“Calm down first, listen to me.” Cheng Chen’s calm voice sounded through the phone.
Lina realized that she was over-agitated, and with such agitated feelings, it wouldn’t aid in communication. Hence, she took in a deep breath, and after gaining control of her feelings, she spoke to Cheng Chen once more. “Alright, say it.”
After confirming that Lina was emotionally stable, Cheng Chen proceeded. “I’m already on my way back. I’ve found Huang Long and have also successfully obtained information on our daughter’s whereabouts.”
Upon hearing Cheng Chen’s words, Lina’s breathing stagnated. The feelings that she once had controlled spilled over once again. Her voice shook as she asked, “How is she? Is she still alive?”
Compared to who her daughter was, Lina was more concerned over whether she was alive or not.
“She’s alive, and she’s doing well,” Cheng Chen finished, his tone carrying a tinge of pride without him even realizing.
Her daughter was still alive!
To Lina, this piece of news was more important than anything else. “Do you know who she is? Where is she now?”
“I know who she is, and you have also seen that girl before, you both even get along well.”
As she heard Cheng Chen’s words, an image of a girl gradually made her way into Lina’s mind. All these years, a blurred image of a girl made her way into her mind, and today, the image of the girl cleared slowly.
“Our daughter is Ling Tianya.”
With Cheng Chen’s words, the image of the girl in Lina’s mind gradually became clear.
It was Ling Tianya’s smiling face!
