The long silent Gu Xu finally showed a hint of a response.
He blinked, his eyes still full of pain and resentment. His gaze fell upon Ling Guizhen, and seeing that her appearance was as it had always been yet her face was worn with illness, he finally called out, "Mother!"
That "Mother", it's been over a decade since he last called it out.
For all these years, since they emigrated abroad, they had never once spoken on the phone, not to mention showing concern and greeting each other.
As such, this shout of "Mother" felt so alien to him.
What's more, it completely astounded Ye Jiajia who was at their side.
She looked at Gu Xu and his mother, Ling, wanting to say something but finding her tongue numb, unable to move. She just stood there, stupidly staring at mother and son.
