Her mother (4)

sometimes you will never know the value of a moment, until it becomes a memory

Dr. suess

*******************

maybe because she was too scared, she bumped into a woman at the doors of the hospital

' clang clang' the middle-aged woman frowned and was about to reprimand the person who bumped into her, but when she saw the face of the person, her face turned pale

"Chuyou" she called out.

Hearing that name, Lin Rouxue stopped in her tracks. She directed her eyes to the woman standing in front of her,

'Chuyou' she muttered under her breath... That's her mother's name

'Huo Chuyou' was her mother's name.

the first question that came to her mind was how this woman knew her mother's name, immediately, she voiced out her thoughts

'' how do you know Chuyou?"

Gao Suyin was still in a daze until she heard the person in front of her speech.

"Chuyou... it been so many years" she sniffled and continued, "how do you look so young and fair? "

Lin Rouxue was surprised at her words. She soon realized that she had been mistaken for her mother again and wondered if she looked like her mother, she hurriedly tries to clear the misunderstanding

"Hello Auntie, sorry for bumping into you just now. Also, I am not Chuyou, my mother's name is Chuyou. how do you know my mother?"

.

Gao Suyins eyes widened in disbelief as she stuttered

" Child, come with me for a while"

Saying that she grabbed her hand and strutted out of the hospital.

20 minutes later,

A woman dressed impeccably in a lemon green qipao sat opposite another young woman who was dressed casually.

Lin Rouxue ordered a cup of coffee with some small snacks, while Gao Suyin only asked for a cup of water.

Glancing at Lin Rouxue, Gao suying couldn't help but notice how she looked so much like Hou Chuyou.

It was just as if they were cast from the same mold.

she sighed and finally spoke

"Child what's your name?".

Lin Rouxue looked up and met her eyes and responded calmly

" Lin Rouxue"

"What a fine name" she smiled

Lin Rouxue checked the time on her phone and saw that it was getting to dinner time, she looked at the woman in front of her, and she felt awkward as she cleared her throat"Auntie If there is nothing you want to tell me guess I should be leaving"

After saying that, she stood up and got ready to leave when a soft hand grabbed her wrist.

Lin Rouxue was a bit startled, she turned her face of meeting the woman.

"Auntie what do you want?" she asked.

"Ahem"

Gao Suyin cleared her throat and said

"Sit down for a while I still wish to chat with you for a while longer."

Lin Rouxue hesitated for a while, finally, she conceded and sat down.

Gao Suyin was still in a daze because of the striking resemblance between the young lady and her best friend. She shook her head and came out of her reverie.

Finally, she broke the silence

"How have you been these years?... you look just like your mother when she was your age."

Lin Rouxue smiled and replied

"yea, everyone says that"

Gao Suyin let out a soft sigh

"I still, remember the attending doctor at that time of the accident pronounced all of you dead.

So how is it that you are alive?"

Lin Rouxue's face turned pale after hearing that question. Seeing her reaction, Gao Suyin quickly apologized "Am sorry. . . I didn't realize it would still affect you after so many years, don't mind my inquisitiveness. it's okay if you can't talk about it."

Lin Rouxue's eyes reddened for the second that day. "it's okay Auntie, I'm past that stage already." she smiled and continued "About my parent's demise, I have gotten over it "

Gao Suyin looked at the petite woman in front of her and immediately felt sympathy for her

"Don't just call me Auntie in the future, you can just address me as Aunty Suyin or Auntie Gao. Anyone will do."

Lin Rouxue grinned and nodded her head.

"Sure... Auntie Suyin"

"Lend me your cell phone," the middle-aged woman said.

Lin Rouxue didn't suspect anything. she handed her phone to Gao Suyin. after a while she heard the sound of a phone ringing, Gao Suyin returned her Phone and said

"that's my number, if you run into any trouble, just give me a call" Saying that, she stood up and dropped the bill for the snacks she ordered before leaving.

After Gao Suyin got home, she walked into her bedroom and brought out a small wooden box.

the box had intricate and small ancient carvings on the cover head.

opening the box, she brought out an old picture frame and smiled.
