Chapter 1205: She’s Still Just a Child
"My poor Xingxing, born into such an environment, she never received much affection. And now, only a few months after returning, such a thing has happened, how can us old folks bear it?"
Tang Mother looked at the photo of Xingxing on the gravestone, unable to speak through her tears.
Tang Father seemed to have aged ten years overnight, his hair had turned much whiter. During this period, although their daughter was not by their side, having Xingxing with them made them very happy. It was the happiest month they had experienced in five years, and they never expected such a thing would happen.
Shen Mianmian knew that no amount of comfort would help in this situation, so she remained silent, just quietly placing the flowers she brought in front of Xingxing’s gravestone, praying in her heart that God would treat this poor little girl kindly.
The group stood in front of the gravestone for over an hour before they all left the cemetery together.
On the way back, Tang Mother and Tang Father’s emotions had stabilized a bit, and only then did Shen Mianmian and He Nan begin to ask about the details of Xingxing’s car accident.
Tang Mother said in between sobs, "We were on our way to pick her up from school and were happily walking by the roadside when Xingxing suddenly saw a woman. She thought it was Xiaoling, so she excitedly ran over to find her. It all happened so suddenly that we didn’t have time to grab her."
As she spoke of these things, Tang Mother’s words were full of regret.
Shen Mianmian pursed her lips; everyone understood that Xingxing must have missed her mother terribly, and that’s why she got so excited seeing a woman who looked like Tang Ling.
If Tang Ling knew about this, who knows what she would feel.
After sending the couple home, on their way back, Yang Xiaoxi finally couldn’t hold back her thoughts, "Does Tang Ling have a heart of iron? Leaving her child behind while living elsewhere, Xingxing wouldn’t have had the accident if she hadn’t missed her mother so much."
