Tang Chuxia left the hospital, Mrs. Qin had woken up, and Qin Zhan's cries could be heard from the doorway of the ward.
But Tang Chuxia did not go in to check, she knew the person was awake and felt reassured.
At least Gu Beihuai would not need to take risks any longer.
She did not go straight home but went to the lakeside instead.
The lake surface in winter had already frozen over, and numerous children were playing on the ice.
Tang Chuxia joined the children on the ice, played with them for a while, laughing so hard her cheeks hurt before she let herself stop.
When she got home, Father Tang had already returned from work.
Tang Chuxia watched, puzzled, as Father Tang searched for something in the house, she watched from the doorway until she saw Father Tang take out a passbook and head for the door.
She stepped out to block his way.
"Dad, where are you going?"
Father Tang was startled at Tang Chuxia's appearance.
