Chapter 14: Struggles.

The mass of people waited in the hospital room as they chatted in intentional lowered voices, afraid to wake the little girl who was currently occupying Jiang XueYue's bed.

"We can let the little darling stay with us while we find her parents."

Old Madam Jiang suggested. Affection filled her tone as she gazed at Yan Yixing with solitude. They were currently discussing over the matter of this missing child.

They could have chosen not to interfere and hand this task over to the local police station. However, the matter came out in an intricate light as even Jiang Xuejing's special team had trouble following up this investigation.

"I'll join Ah Jing his his investigation,Mother."Father Jiang replied in staid manner discerning her concern.

They were especially concerned for this little girl seeing Jiang XueYue's affection for the child.

"I'll ask the Lu family to keep the tabs on this matter too." Jiang Xuesheng stated quickly,eager to contribute.

The Lu family had a chain of entertainment and media enterprises,which accumulated them a great deal of network in the society. If by chance, the girl's family was searching for the girl,they would surely come to know know matter how small may the wave created be.

"I'll get my team to look into the matter."

Jiang Xuewei,who rarely spoke till now,calmly spoke out indifferently. Despite the straight face,one could see the determination in his fox like deep eyes.

Jiang Xuewei had an unique identity which only few were aware of. He was referred as captain in the military, however those with keen senses knew it was surely not as simple as it might come out to be. Surely, Jiang Xuewei had a special team allotted to him consisting of special forces military team which only few knew including his family and his close friend.

"That's good." Madam Jiang spoke with a gentle smile, witnessing everyone's resolution to help the girl in finding her mother.

This child was so adorable and small, imagining her going through the sufferings all alone made their hearts sting. The Jiang family was sensitive seeing this small child, remembering thr hardships Jiang Xueyue had to go through at her age. They couldn't bear to let someone else go through the same,it was especially so for Jiang XueYue,the first experiencing the first-hand pain of it.

The world could be brutal.

It was just the way one lived, through beauty and pain,scars and heals and love and hate.Kindness at some point in one's life could make someone better. This was the journey in life.

Jiang XueYue observed the people present in the room. No one knew the child yet they wholeheartedly wished for the girl's best. They tried what seemed within their reach to find the child's parent.

She could very well see their concern was rooted from her past experience. She saw their eyes reliving the grieve, nostalgia and helplessness of not being able to protect their beloved.

Jiang XueYue gazed at Father Jiang,his mist glazed eyes appeared to gave aged. This was when she realised this mighty and prominent soldier was at the end a human, a family and a father.

His eyes told myriads of unsaid Stories. Stories of his promises,his joys, his glooms and his grace.

At the end of the day, it all ended up with immense sacrifice and gentleness for his family. Jiang XueYue sat froze as she went through the emotions of warmth to coldness to coldness to warmth back again.

Jiang XueYue had been empathetic for the past the previous Jiang Xueyue went through, being a small child the girl was. However,Yan Yixing's incident seemed to have made her realise that her family,lived no better. They struggled within themselves in the was of emotions and relations. Yet now, everything seemed fine.

Jiang Xueyue didn't dare predict their reactions when they found out that their much loved daughter was long dead before they could pamper her with familial love and the girl now was a complete stranger, selfishly occupying their daughters body.

A warm hand suddenly enveloped her's as Jiang XueYue was still zoned out. Her dark black eyes revealing distress.

"Don't overthink. Everything will be fine."

The man curtly yet firmly asserted as if able to read the worries in her mind.

Jiang XueYue's racing mind noticably stabilized affected by the man. She didn't bother to ponder over the matter of him finding out about her thoughts. As she strangely felt secure enough to trust him with her wildest of dreams and thoughts.

This man had that magical effect over her as his every gaze and gestures held power to make her go crazy over emotions.

"Hungry..."

Yan Yixing's soft,still sleepy voice rang out , diverting everyone's attention towards her. No one knew when she woke up. however the girl was currently sitting up straight staring at the group of people with curiosity and child-like innocence.

"Oh dear, you are awake. Come tell grandma what would you like to have , grandma will have you uncle here to get it for you." Old Madam Jiang said with bright smile , gazing at the child with gentleness.

"I'm not picky."

Yan Yixing said with a hesitant tone, finding the crowd overwhelming for her. Yet still answered, not to appear impolite towards the old woman's kind remark.

"Child, Don't be scared, that's my family."

Jiang XueYue comforted meeting the little girl's confused eyes, which was then followed by a brief introduction between them. Yan Yixing quickly greeted back with an adorable and lively smiles.

Everyone chatted as Jiang Xuejing went to get food for everyone. The elder's warmly conversed with the child, amused by the girl's clever and well-mannered nature.

The family discreetly probed about the girl's family and whereabouts, cautious not be be to direct lest they unintentionally reminded the of her dire situation. Yan Yixing as if aware of their careful behaviour answered them in clear and firm fashion with all the information she could provide.
