Lily was thinking that if there was even the slightest mishap with the chip, then today might be the last day of her life.
Maybe calling out 'mom' would make Gong Lan feel a bit better? With fewer regrets.
She was never afraid of dying before, but now, she knew that life was actually very fragile.
She cherished her own life and didn't want to die so soon.
But if death was inevitable, then she could only aim to have as few regrets as possible.
"Mom..." Lily called out again.
This time, Gong Lan heard her loud and clear and hugged Lily fiercely, "Nannan, you finally are willing to call me mom, Nannan, my daughter."
Gong Lan was on the verge of collapse, she had waited so many years for this moment, for this call of 'mom', she had waited far too long.
She hugged Lily tightly, tears streaming down incessantly, overwhelmed with emotion.
Feeling the hot tears, Lily was touched, and without thinking, she reached out and gently patted her shoulder.
"Mom, don't cry."
