Chapter 549
Maybe it was because her obsession was too deep, but after learning that Lu Wensheng was not dead, Mrs. Lu miraculously began to get better.
In the fifth year since Lu Wensheng left, Mrs. Lu was eagerly looking forward to Lu Wensheng's return every day.
In the sixth year after Lu Wensheng left, Mrs. Lu tried every possible means to ask everyone who knew Lu Wensheng what she liked to eat and wear.
In the seventh year after Lu Wensheng left, Mrs. Lu threw away and burned all the things related to Lu Erya and replaced them with things that Lu Wensheng liked.
……
Ten years after Lu Wensheng left, Lu Wensheng did not come back.
……
Fifteen years after Lu Wensheng left, Mrs. Lu still had not received any news about Lu Wensheng.
……
Twentieth year after Lu Wensheng left, Mrs. Lu still hadn't waited for her daughter to return.
……
Time passes year after year.
Madam Lu lay on the hospital bed, eyes wide open, staring at the dark storm outside the window. Although she was already unconscious, she kept muttering, "Open the door. It's Shengsheng's birthday. If you close the door, she won't be able to see..."
The white-haired old man standing on the hospital bed was silent for a moment, sighed silently, walked to the door and opened it.
The biting cold wind rushed in in an instant.
Mrs. Lu didn't feel cold on the hospital bed. Instead, she looked out the window eagerly and smiled. "The door is open. When Shengsheng comes back, she'll be able to see the cake..."
There is no Lu Erya.
No one else.
It was a cake she carefully prepared for her.
There are also gifts, and lots of beautiful dresses and jewelry...
Her daughter is turning eighteen.
After a while, Madam Lu seemed to remember something and screamed again, sitting up, "Xiuyuan! Xiuyuan! Why didn't Shengsheng come back?!"
"Why hasn't she come back yet?! Didn't you say she was still alive? Then why hasn't she come back?!"
"This is her home, why didn't she come back..."
Lu Xiuyuan looked at Mrs. Lu's terrified expression and held her hand.
Mrs. Lu seemed to have grasped the last straw, holding Lu Xiuyuan's hand tightly, screaming and questioning like crazy, "Xiuyuan! Xiuyuan! Where's Shengsheng?! Where's Shengsheng?!"
"You've been lying to me all along, haven't you? Shengsheng died a long time ago..."
Lu Xiuyuan looked at Madam Lu's gradually dimming eyes, sighed, took out a photo from his pocket, and handed it to Madam Lu, "No... She is doing well."
Mrs. Lu's hazy eyes fell on the woman in the photo, and she was suddenly stunned.
Although the photo was a bit blurry, the woman's face could still be seen clearly.
It was a beautiful face. Although many years had passed, Mrs. Lu recognized it at a glance. It was her daughter!
That’s Lu Wensheng!
In the photo, Lu Wensheng is smiling, her eyes slightly curved, her temperament gentle, and her eyes and eyebrows showing the feminine beauty.
And in her arms, she was holding a little girl who looked very similar to her...
Mrs. Lu suddenly pounced over, snatched the photo, and stared at the person in the photo intently. As she looked, she suddenly burst into tears.
It turned out that her daughter was really still alive.
She didn't come back just because... she didn't want her as a mother anymore.
Mrs. Lu lowered her head and gently stroked the person in the photo, as if she wanted to touch her daughter gently through the air. She rubbed her daughter and cried, "Shengsheng, it's your birthday today. Mom made a delicious cake for you..."
The wind and rain are howling outside the window.
Mrs. Lu's dry fingers caressed Lu Wensheng's eyebrows and eyes inch by inch with affection, and finally turned her gaze to the little girl in her arms.
The little girl looks like Lu Wensheng, but her skin seems whiter than Lu Wensheng, and her eyebrows and eyes are more delicate than her mother's. Most importantly... she is smiling, innocently, sweetly and happily, a smile that can only bloom when wrapped in rich love.
Mrs. Lu watched and cried.
If her daughter had not been lost and had always grown up by her side, she would also have such a beautiful and sweet smile...
If she had loved her daughter well when she first came back, she might have smiled too.
Unfortunately, there are no ifs in this world...
Years of obsession were shattered, and the breath that Mrs. Lu had been holding on to also dissipated.
She held the photo, opened her dry and dazed eyes, and looked outside the gate. Suddenly, she seemed to see the summer more than 20 years ago, when the seventeen-year-old Lu Wensheng was led by the housekeeper into the gate of the Lu family.
She couldn't wait to greet her, hugged her in her arms, and said to her gently, "Shengsheng, don't be afraid, mom is here..."
This dream... is so wonderful!
In her final moments, Mrs. Lu still remembered that she had a very cute daughter. She was smart, kind, and studious. She loved the soup her mother cooked and would smile at her sweetly.
Mrs. Lu held the photo in her arms, and finally stretched out her hand towards somewhere in the void, as if trying to grasp something, and softly called out, "Shengsheng..."
With an old sigh, the old woman on the bed's life came to an end.
Until her death, her eyes were fixed on the door, as if the person she cared about had finally appeared.
And in her dream, she finally held her
