Chapter 1260: The Story of Ling and Heng (523)

But what external factors could it be? There was no one in the vicinity, and there were signs that prohibited tourists from approaching. Knowing that the jungle was not under anyone's control and was not safe, no one dared to approach it.

She had reason to suspect that someone had set the fire on purpose.

But there were no surveillance cameras nearby.

Walking back to the breakroom, Feng Ling put down the two glasses of water. In fact, she didn't know how to comfort the old couple, but they had obviously been through a lot. In the beginning, they were indeed emotionally unstable, anxious, and agitated. Now, they had calmed down.

Grandfather Feng sat on the chair in the lounge and sighed. From time to time, he would ask the members guarding the base about the situation in the emergency room. He wanted to know how bad the state of his son and daughter-in-law was when they were rescued. The members of the base did not know. They only knew that the survival rate was very low. At this time, they could not be provoked, so they could only answer with their ignorance.

Grandmother Feng sat there, her eyes still red. When she saw Feng Ling, she turned to look at her.

When Feng Ling went to fetch the water, she turned on the tap and washed her face with cold water. Although her eyes were slightly swollen, they were not too obvious. She had already taken off her sunglasses.

Looking into the old lady's eyes, she gently placed the disposable cup filled with warm water in her hand. "Drink some water first to calm down."

Old Madam Feng looked at her with mixed feelings. She wanted to say something, but when she heard that Feng Ling seemed to have lived there when she was a child, her heart ached for her. She wanted to take her child back and love her, but she didn't expect this to happen.

Now seeing such a living granddaughter standing in front of him, with delicate features and a mature and upright character, even if she was not raised in a place like the Feng family, she was clearly a very outstanding and sensible child. She was much more mature than those spoiled young ladies from wealthy families.

She had a lot to say, but when she saw her, she couldn't say a word. She held the cup in one hand and held Feng Ling's hand with the other, refusing to let go. She said gently, "Child, the Feng family has let you down."

Feng Ling was stunned for a moment. She smiled at the old lady. "No, now is not the time to talk about this. Please relax."

Seeing that she was so sensible, Grandmother Feng felt even worse. She put down the cup and held her hand. "Let me hold you properly, will you?"

Feng Ling stood by her side and didn't speak. Grandmother Feng looked at her with heartache. "I... Grandma... I just want to hug you. I know you're worried about your parents. You're so sensible. Your grandfather and I are also worried about them, but you're the child we lost for twenty years. Right now, I just want to hug you properly..."

Feng Ling looked at her and nodded gently.

Grandmother Feng immediately choked up. She resisted the urge to cry and held Feng Ling in her arms. Although she was old, she used to be a famous model in the American Chinese society. Her height had shrunk after she grew older, but she was not short. In front of Feng Ling, she could hold the thin Feng Ling in her arms and hold her like an elder protecting a child.

In the many years of her life, this was the first time she felt the embrace of a family member.

It was her own grandmother.

Feng Ling never resisted the Feng family, but she was not used to it. She didn't know how to face those people who were related to her by blood, so she didn't want to acknowledge them.

But at this moment, being hugged so tightly by her own grandmother, a great sadness finally surrounded her, as though she was really a child who had been wronged and wanted to cry and complain in her grandmother's arms. Her nose turned sour, but she resisted it. She just obediently allowed her to hold her. When she heard that Grandfather Feng had also walked over agitatedly, she did not push him away.

"Child... you've suffered." Grandfather Feng stood by the side and also wanted to hold her, but seeing that his wife was unwilling to let go, he could only stand by the side and smile. If it weren't for the fact that there was still his son and daughter-in-law in the emergency room, his laughter would have been brighter. He looked at Feng Ling. "How exactly did you manage to survive in that jungle... We've asked around many people, but not many people know exactly what you've experienced. Even if we only know a little, it's just a rough idea. It's enough to make our hearts ache. You've really suffered too much. In the future, come back to the Feng family with us. We'll do our best to make up for all the things you've lost in the past twenty years. We love you very much. We really miss you. You're the blood of our Feng family, our little granddaughter..."

Perhaps because she had just let go of her emotions and cried in front of Li Nanheng, her heart was not as heavy as it used to be. Perhaps it was because her grandparents' true feelings had touched her, Feng Ling couldn't hold back her tears.

She did not like to cry. She had never thought that when a person was too emotional, they would really cry.

In her life, she had only told Li Nanheng about her experiences. At that time, she hadn't told him in detail, but Li Nanheng could tell from her life and habits what her childhood was like. He had even accompanied her in the jungle for so long.

In this world, only Li Nanheng knew about her experiences.

She didn't want to be the kind of person who would show the wounds that had already healed over and over again, so she didn't follow Elder Feng's words. Instead, she raised her hand and gently patted Elder Madam Feng's back, saying softly, "I'm right here. You won't lose me again. Please rest well."

Her words made Grandfather Feng's eyes turn red again. His grandmother held her even more tightly.

At this moment, a member of the base greeted him respectfully and Li Nanheng appeared in front of the lounge.

The man calmly and indifferently glanced at the two elders of the Feng family. After nodding politely at Grandfather Feng, he glanced at the figure held by the old lady. His stern voice caused Feng Ling to shiver. "Feng Ling, come out."

Feng Ling patted the old lady's back lightly and turned to see the man's solemn expression.
