Meng Si breathed a sigh of relief, "Since that's the case, I'll leave Daidai in your care."
"Rest assured, big brother," Su Ting responded.
After Meng Si reiterated his admonition to Gu Dai to take good care of herself, he ended the call.
Holding the phone, Gu Dai's grip tightened, and she spoke in a muffled voice, "If big brother hadn't taken our parents away, then they might have..."
Seeing Gu Dai's frail figure, Su Ting extended his hand and gently embraced her, softly saying, "Daidai, such a scenario didn't happen."
Regaining her composure, Gu Dai nodded lightly, "You're right, such a scenario won't occur. I shouldn't waste time here dwelling on what-ifs. What I should do is ensure that it never happens in the future."
Su Ci watched the interaction between Su Ting and Gu Dai, feeling a bittersweet sensation but eventually settling into a relieved smile.
