Mother An was still unrelenting until Mr. An, with an ashen face, pulled her out the door.
Mother Song, furious, sat alone on the sofa brooding. Gu Shengyin poured her a glass of water. "Mom, please don't be angry," she said.
Clutching the glass, the warmth in her palm comforted her. Looking at her obedient daughter before her, Mother Song's heart softened with pity once again: her Yuyu, who had grown up in such a family.
"Yuyu, your dad and I are sorry," she said softly.
That apology contained their years of not knowing the truth, as well as the sense of debt they felt towards their daughter for the decision they had made now.
Today, seeing how Mother An acted, it was clear that she cared deeply for her biological daughter, Song Tian. This confirmed for Mother Song that her and her husband's suspicions might very well be correct: the incident back then might not have been a hospital error.
