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, âWhat happened to the Ruan family after that?â
âThey 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,â 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.
âIâm sorry.â Other than that, Shu Jiao didnât 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 couldnât help but ask, âMom, do you think that person who used my body before will come back?â
âNo!â Shu Jiaoâs complexion instantly became severe, her voice even carried a chill, and her expression was almost fierce, âMom wonât let her hurt you like that again, absolutely not!â
Even if it cost her life, she wouldnât let the nightmares come true again.
âJiaojiao, other than these, what else did you see, tell Mom everything.â
âThatâs all. But after I froze to death that year, I didnât come straight back here. I was reincarnated and became a cat with no memory at all. In that forest, I lived all alone for over ten years.â
Shu Jiao didnât expect there was such an episode in between, and looked at her in disbelief.
âYou became a cat⊠then⊠how did you come back here?â
ââŠâ Ruan Jiaojiao felt somewhat embarrassed, and her little cheeks turned red with it.
âJiaojiao?â Seeing her daughterâs suddenly red face, Shu Jiao called out with a bit of surprise.
Ruan Jiaojiao then said, âWell⊠I often stole food from a wolf. Maybe heaven couldnât stand it anymore and struck me dead.â 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 couldnât understand animal languages or communicate with catsâit turned out that from the very beginning she wasnât really a cat, but a soul with nowhere to stay, which ended up in a catâs body.
ââŠâ Shu Jiao was stunned for a moment, then laughed. As she laughed, her eyes turned red again. Her daughter had suffered so much. In just a few words, it seemed as if those ten-plus years had passed in a flash, but she knew that without any memories of the past, becoming a cat like that must have been so agonizing.
âJiaojiao, Mom doesnât ask for your forgiveness, but give Mom a chance to make it up to you, to take care of you from now on, alright?â 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 wasnât 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 groundâthat feeling was truly too lonely, so lonely she had become 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 time she saw the Ruan family members die, she would be frightened to the point of despairâŠ
