Kathy cried in the bathroom for more than two hours, until she could barely keep her eyes open from behind.
Leng Anan was always by her side to comfort her and helped her out of the bathroom.
On the sofa, she turned off the hot water and walked to Kathy's side.
Signed 'Kathy, drink some water.'
Casey pushed away the hot water in front of him, obviously in no mood.
I don't want to drink water now.
It's not that she didn't guess this result, it's not that she didn't think about it, but what she didn't expect was that this result would come so quickly.
It's so fast that people can't react in time.
Although she knew that the possibility was low and the chance was relatively slim, she still wanted to wait and see.
There is still hope.
She thought, what if?
What if I really get pregnant? What if I really have a child?
When she was checking the results, the hope in her heart became even greater.
After it became bigger, the ensuing result was like a huge stone, hitting her hard, crushing her so hard that she couldn't breathe.
At the same time, he was telling her the result.
There is no way she will be pregnant.
It was precisely because of such a sudden and huge blow that she could not recover for a moment.
Leng Anan put down the water glass in her hand, and then continued to use sign language to comfort her.
'I know you are sad and disappointed now, but I don't want you to stay like this forever. If we work harder, there will definitely be hope.'
In fact, she didn't know how to comfort Kathy.
She could see how much Cathy wanted a child.
However, she also knew that it would be very dangerous to have children at this age.
She doesn't want Kathy to take risks, but she also wants Kathy to fulfill her wish.
And this becomes a very contradictory existence.
Casey lowered his head and smiled bitterly, as if he could tell that this was just comfort.
She knows the outcome better than anyone else.
You don’t need to comfort me anymore. I know that it is difficult for me to get pregnant at my age. I know all this, but
She clenched her fists, and it took a while before she spoke again. But I still had hope, that's why I was so disappointed. But in the future, I won't.
Leng An'an seemed to be worried that she couldn't think about it, so she quickly sat next to her and held her hand.
'Don't forget it, Kathy, my child is your child. From today on, Gu Siying is also your daughter. As long as you are willing, she will also call you mom from today on.'
Casey smiled and shook his head, then wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand.
After wiping away her tears, she said, I have always treated your children as my own children, but you cannot force things about your children.
It doesn't matter. In fact, Li Zichen and I have already made preparations. If we can't get pregnant this time, we will go to an orphanage to adopt a child.
After hearing her words, Leng Anan breathed a sigh of relief.
She exhaled, and a slight smile appeared on her face.
'That's good, I was worried just now that you wouldn't be able to figure it out.'
Casey shook his head and looked out the window, his thoughts seeming to drift away.
Don't worry, I won't be confused. Although Li Zichen is very mature, he is also very lonely. I can't leave him alone.
During dinner time, Leng Anan was left behind.
Gu Manman was naturally happy to see her, and held Leng An'an's hand and talked for a long time.
It wasn't until a lot of food was placed on the dining table that everyone sat down one after another.
At the dining table, Casey looked at the empty seat beside him.
I hesitated for a long time.
The empty seat next to it belongs to Li Zichen.
But Li Zichen seems to have to work overtime again today, so he hasn't come back yet.
The group of people at the table were chatting and laughing while eating their dinner, completely unaware of Casey who seemed slightly anxious on one side.
Casey gritted his teeth, as if he had made up his mind, and then put down the chopsticks in his hand.
The chopsticks were gently placed on the bowl.
Only then did she raise her head and look at Gu Manman and Li Jinze in front of her.
It seems like there is something important to say.
Parents, I have something to tell you.
As soon as she said this, Gu Manman and Li Jinze looked at the woman in front of them in unison.
What is it? Is it important? If it's not important, let's talk about it after dinner.
It's important that Casey's hands are on the table.
Leng Anan seemed to have already understood what she was going to say, so he helped her.
She signed 'Mom, let her speak.'
Gu Manman nodded slightly, "If that's the case, then tell me, what is it?"
Casey took a deep breath, and the light in his eyes gradually became firm.
She raised her head and glanced at the group of people in front of her.
Parents, as the daughter-in-law of the Li family, I failed to give birth to a son and a half daughter. I feel very guilty and sorry. But I worked really hard.
However, the child seems to have no fate with me
As soon as she heard this, Gu Manman couldn't bear it anymore.
She comforted her that it was okay, my child. This kind of thing cannot be rushed. Now the more anxious we are to have a child, the child just won’t come. Maybe one day, when we are no longer anxious, the child will suddenly come?
We are not in a hurry about this kind of thing. Moreover, we have never blamed you.
Casey shook his head no, blaming himself. The more you tolerate me without a trace of blame, the more guilty and self-blame I feel.
Mom, I not only want to give the Li family a child, I also want to give Li Zichen a child. I also want a child myself.
She told everything about the recent events in detail. During this period, we have been working hard. But after hard work, the result is still the same. I can't conceive a child, and I have no choice.
So I want to adopt a child.
Kathy finally expressed her thoughts.
As soon as these words came out, Gu Manman and Li Jinze were once again surprised.
They did know that Kathy had been working hard and drinking all kinds of Chinese medicine. They also knew that Kathy wanted to have a child.
But what they didn't expect was that Kathy would want to adopt a child.
What did you say?
Gu Manman frowned slightly and asked again.
Casey slowly stood up from his chair and answered her question again very seriously.
Mom, I said, I want to adopt a child in an orphanage.
She needs a child.
She can't go on like this any longer.
Li Jinze put his hand lightly on Gu Manman's shoulder, and then asked what Li Zichen's opinion was on this matter?
Casey answered truthfully that he agreed, so now, I need to ask for your consent.
Gu Manman pushed Li Jinze's hand away from his shoulder and stood up from the chair.
