Rebirth: Solely Cherished by the Devoted Commander-Chapter 568 - 596: The Events of That Year

Following the sound, the two saw a woman inside the counter wiping various food bags. This woman was sitting in a wheelchair, slender in build, wearing sunglasses on her face, and touching a bottle with one hand, she wiped it with a white towel.

Sun Chan stood motionless, tensely looking at Gu Junming, then at the woman. Gu Junming was completely stunned; her appearance was already blurry in his memory, but the bond between mother and son allowed him to quickly recognize who she was.

Just like in his memory, his mother was a very gentle woman.

Turns out she had always been in the same city as him, but had become lame and blind! How did she become like this, was it those people who harmed her?

Did my father save her, but her body still had problems?

Although Gu Junming had no impression of his mother’s appearance anymore, hearing her voice and tone, he knew it was definitely his mother. At this moment, he really wanted to kill that damned man! Fang Guanghui’s fault, and also Wang Guihua’s father!

The woman didn’t see Gu Junming and continued wiping by herself.

The girl came over at this time and said calmly, "What would you two like to buy?"

She felt very angry that these two people were so impolite, staring at her mother. Didn’t they feel it was rude?

Sun Chan quickly responded, "I’d like two bottles of milk."

"Only chocolate flavor left, one dollar per bottle." After speaking, she went to fetch the milk.

Sun Chan quickly took out the money and handed it to her. She grabbed Gu Junming, wanting to leave quickly, but at this time, the woman who had been working there spoke, "Chocolate milk is tasty and nutritious!"

"Yes." Sun Chan glanced quickly at Gu Junming and smiled.

"You’re pregnant, aren’t you? Drinking more is beneficial." She said.

Sun Chan responded with a sigh, then asked in surprise, "Can you see me?"

Gu Junming also looked sharply.

"No, I felt it. After my eyes went blind, my other abilities improved. Especially my hearing and sense; pregnant women breathe heavily and have high body temperature, so I can sense it."

Sun Chan nodded, "Is it that way, ma’am, did your eyes become like this because of an injury?"

"How my mom’s eyes are, what does that have to do with you? Don’t ask so many questions!" The little girl was unhappy.

The woman said, "What’s with the big anger, people didn’t say anything wrong. I have a disease, severe diabetes, both my eyes and legs are because of diabetes."

Gu Junming furrowed his brow slightly, wanting to speak several times but in the end, said nothing. He felt an inexplicable fear, perhaps a fear that if he disturbed the current peace, his mother would disappear from his life.

Rather than that, he’d rather just stay like this, with no reaction.

Sun Chan gently touched Gu Junming’s hand, cold, and she sensed that Gu Junming was very nervous now.

The girl escorted them out as they were about to leave, but Gu Junming suddenly stopped her, "Is your dad around? I want to talk to him."

Judging by age, she shouldn’t be Gu Zishan’s child, the little girl was too young.

"My dad went to restock, why are you looking for him?" The little girl looked at them warily.

Gu Junming said, "My dad was in the army, is yours too?"

The little girl was stunned, then nodded, "Yes. My dad used to be in the army, but now he’s retired! You’re a strange person. I’m not going to talk to you, I’m busy." After saying that, she turned and went back inside the small shop.

Gu Junming laughed bitterly without saying anything, this girl should be his sister, but she didn’t like him.

Sun Chan looked at him, worried he was upset, but fortunately, Gu Junming’s expression didn’t change much. Initially, very shocked, but later he got used to it.

"I always thought my mom was dead, or living a miserable, desolate life, but I never thought my mom would be so tragic."

"Don’t think like that. She got married and has someone to love her, it’s good. Her body... is because of a disease." Although saying this, Sun Chan’s eyes were also red.

"If it weren’t for those hardships, I believe she wouldn’t have had problems."

Gu Junming and Sun Chan went to sit by a small flowerbed nearby, he also didn’t speak, watching Sun Chan drink that bottle of milk, and then gave her his own, "I don’t want it, you drink it."

"It’s been so long, you must be thirsty, if you want to drink just buy it."

Gu Junming was about to speak when he saw a man carrying two large bags of snacks walking over, although wearing plain clothes, his stature was upright, clearly once a soldier.

The little girl ran out, smiling gently, greeted him, and said something unknowable. The man smiled, gave her the things, and then walked inside with large strides. Soon, he came out pushing the wheelchair, going for a walk in the park with the woman.

The woman was smiling sweetly and happily this whole time, the man also looked at her very lovingly, clearly, they were very much in love.

The little girl was very close and happy with her father.

Sun Chan said, "You can rest assured, this person really likes her."

Gu Junming sighed, "Let’s go."

He assisted Sun Chan out, the two took a taxi back into the city, but instead of returning to the compound, went to find Gu Zishan. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Sun Chan looked at Gu Junming, "You... you’re not happy?"

"Not unhappy, just complex feelings. I hope my mom is well, but this ’well’ feels so bittersweet."

"Many people have died, her being alive is already not bad. Forgotten past sorrows, isn’t it good? Do you know that man?"

Gu Junming nodded, "Sort of, he used to be my dad’s orderly. Many old photos were destroyed, but I still remember him. I even took pictures with him when I was young."

Sun Chan was taken aback and couldn’t speak.

Gu Zishan, upon learning this news, also froze for a while, then grasped his hair with both hands. He truly felt sorry for Liu Weihong, it was his fault that Liu Weihong became blind and lame. Yet his orderly, out of love and duty, stayed and took care of her, while he married Wang Guihua.

Gu Junming said, "I hesitated for a long time, but decided not to see her, because I know I might not be welcome, what do you think?"

"I know what you mean," Gu Zishan stared dully out the window, "Even if I went to find her, the result would be the same, she wouldn’t accept me."

The orderly applied for discharge the year Gu Zishan married Wang Guihua, but the higher-ups didn’t approve, just transferred him, probably already with Liu Weihong at that time.

Over the years, it has been him who was living with her.
