In the bottom right corner of the news, a missing person notice was scrolling:
Jiang Nuan, twenty-six years old, went missing on November 17, 2021. A reward of fifty thousand yuan is offered for any information leading to her whereabouts.
Chapter 19
Jiang Nuan suddenly picked up the remote and turned off the TV.
Mrs. Xu looked up from the manual, adjusting her reading glasses, “Wan Wan, what’s wrong?”
Jiang Nuan didn’t answer, cold sweat slowly seeping from her forehead, as if a giant hand was choking her throat, making breathing difficult.
In her daze, she heard Mrs. Xu’s voice, “Wan Wan, what’s wrong with you? Don’t scare me, someone, please help!”
Jiang Nuan lost consciousness.
When she woke up again, she was lying in the town’s clinic, the smell of disinfectant making her feel nauseous.
She vaguely heard Mrs. Xu’s voice, but it was distant, and she couldn’t make out the words.
A young nurse came in, saw that she was awake, gave a shy smile, and approached her bed to adjust the IV bottle.
“Mrs. Xu is outside talking to the doctor. You can go home after this IV drip.”
Jiang Nuan nodded, “Thank you.”
Both were stunned after she spoke.
The news that Mrs. Xu had taken in a beautiful but mute girl had circulated throughout the town.
But now, Jiang Nuan’s inability to speak had been disproven by the person herself.
The next moment, the young nurse rushed out. Soon, Mrs. Xu was pulled in by her.
“Grandma, your girl can speak now!”
Mrs. Xu was skeptical, “Really? Don’t lie to me.”
Jiang Nuan opened her mouth, “Grandma.”
Mrs. Xu’s mouth gaped open, then her face wrinkled into a smile, “Oh, our Wan Wan can speak now.”
Jiang Nuan felt a bit embarrassed; she was so old but was being treated like a child by Mrs. Xu.
It was somewhat overwhelming, but at the same time, a warm current seemed to flow through her, reaching every part of her body.
Mrs. Xu, thinking of something, leaned closer and asked, “Wan Wan, what’s your name? Where do you live? You…”
Should you go back?
Seeing Mrs. Xu’s cautious look, Jiang Nuan’s heart ached. She held Mrs. Xu’s hand.
