Chapter 430: Chapter 430 Two Mothers (7)_1 Chapter 430: Chapter 430 Two Mothers (7)_1 She knew she was softhearted and would definitely forgive her in the future, but not now, she really still minded.
Shu Jiao wiped away her tears and asked again, “What happened to the Ruan family after that?”
“They all died, every single one of them, that Ruan Jiaojiao caused the death of many people, and the entire world was destroyed by the virus,” she said.
When Ruan Jiaojiao said these words, she felt an unprecedented ease, no longer having to carry all the secrets and live in fear, as if she had put down a heavy burden.
“I’m sorry.” Other than that, Shu Jiao didn’t know what else to say.
Ruan Jiaojiao remained silent.
After half a minute of silence, Ruan Jiaojiao thought about all the eerie things that had happened to her and couldn’t help but ask, “Mom, do you think that person who used my body before will co back?”
“No!” Shu Jiao’s complexion instantly beca severe, her voice even carried a chill, and her expression was almost fierce, “Mom won’t let her hurt you like that again, absolutely not!”
Even if it cost her life, she wouldn’t let the nightmares co true again.
“Jiaojiao, other than these, what else did you see, tell Mom everything.”
“That’s all. But after I froze to death that year, I didn’t co straight back here. I was reincarnated and beca a cat with no mory at all. In that forest, I lived all alone for over ten years.”
Shu Jiao didn’t expect there was such an episode in between, and looked at her in disbelief.
“You beca a cat… then… how did you co back here?”
“…” Ruan Jiaojiao felt sowhat embarrassed, and her little cheeks turned red with it.
“Jiaojiao?” Seeing her daughter’s suddenly red face, Shu Jiao called out with a bit of surprise.
Ruan Jiaojiao then said, “Well… I often stole food from a wolf. Maybe heaven couldn’t stand it anymore and struck dead.” Being killed by lightning over a large chicken leg was embarrassing for Ruan Jiaojiao to even talk about.
Now, however, Ruan Jiaojiao understood why she couldn’t understand animal languages or communicate with cats—it turned out that from the very beginning she wasn’t really a cat, but a soul with nowhere to stay, which ended up in a cat’s body.
“…” Shu Jiao was stunned for a mont, then laughed. As she laughed, her eyes turned red again. Her daughter had suffered so much. In just a few words, it seed as if those ten-plus years had passed in a flash, but she knew that without any mories of the past, becoming a cat like that must have been so agonizing.
“Jiaojiao, Mom doesn’t ask for your forgiveness, but give Mom a chance to make it up to you, to take care of you from now on, alright?” Shu Jiao held Ruan Jiaojiao in her arms and asked softly, not daring to hold her too tight, fearing she would resist.
But in fact, Ruan Jiaojiao wasn’t resistant at all; instead, she felt innate longing.
Past and present lives.
Murkily, she had spent her days like this. No one knew how lonely she was each day after closing her eyes, nor how insecure she felt. That feeling of rootlessness, as if forever drifting midair, never able to find solid ground—that feeling was truly too lonely, so lonely she had beco numb.
Therefore, when she returned to this body, faced with the affection of the Ruan family, she was so eager, so unable to let go, and terrified that the so-called original owner might return.
Whenever she had the nightmare about falling into water, she would feel very cold, to the bone; and each ti she saw the Ruan family mbers die, she would be frightened to the point of despair…
