"I dreamed that Ke'er came back. She even called me 'Mommy'! Yaohui, is Ke'er really coming back?"
Gong Shiya looked at Gu Yaohui with a hopeful expression, her face lit with a radiant smile he hadn't seen in a very long time.
Seeing Gong Shiya like this, Gu Yaohui's heart was, of course, relieved, even joyful.
But upon hearing her words, his heart filled with bitterness.
If he had any news of their daughter's whereabouts right now, perhaps he could have answered Gong Shiya with an unhesitating, definitive yes.
But as it stood, he had no clues at all. Even the small glimmer of hope sparked by the young girl Gu Hengzhi mentioned today had been instantly extinguished by his words.
Although Gong Shiya's words were a question, she wasn't actually waiting for Gu Yaohui's answer. It was as if she didn't even see the bitter look on his face; at this moment, her heart was completely filled with the daughter from her dream.
