Chapter 2980 - Everyone says Huo Mian’s Dead 20

“Um… Why do you ask?” Su Yu felt guilty.

“Because my sister said you look weird today.”

“Do I?” Su Yu felt even guiltier.

“Who knows? I don’t have a quick of a brain as my sister; she’s sensitive but maybe she just imagined things. But you must never hide things from us, or I’ll never forgive you.”

Looking at her with unreadable eyes, Su Yu didn’t answer.

He picked up a glass of juice and handed it to Little Bean.

“Drink some juice to get some Vitamin C.”

Then the maid of the Su Family began to put dishes on the table, but Pudding didn’t return.

“The little girl is still not back. I’ll go and find her.”

Su Yu got up and walked out of the dining room.

He searched in the house and finally found Pudding on the balcony at the end of the corridor of the second floor.

Her small figure just stood there…

At the thought that Huo Mian was dead and this kid was now without her mom, Su Yu felt a sharp pain inside.

“Pudding, come and have dinner.”

“Handsome Su, come here; I want to ask you something.”

Su Yu looked at her and moved closer slowly.

“Handsome Su, tell me what has really happened.”

“Nothing big. It’s just we met some difficulty rescuing your mommy. But we’ll solve the problems soon,” Su Yu continued to tell white lies.

“You’re still lying to me?” Pudding was angry.

“Pudding…”

“I called Uncle Gao Ran, Lingling, my aunt and Uncle Tang Chuan…”

Su Yu’s heart sank.

“Pudding, in fact, I…”

“You never lied to me before. Mom said… people can’t lie. If a person lies, they’d need 100 other lies to support that lie; as time goes on, he will become a perpetual liar, and no one will ever believe him. So, Handsome Su, please don’t lie to me; even the cruel truth is more acceptable than well-intended lies.”

Su Yu was silent.

“Something happened to her, right?” Pudding asked.

“Pudding, I’m sorry… We did our best but couldn’t bring her back.”

“Tell me what on earth has happened. I want to hear the whole story.” Pudding looked at Su Yu with a serious expression.

She didn’t look like a kid who was just over 3 years old, and it gave Su Yu great pressure on his mind; seeing the mature look on her face, he felt he had to take her seriously.

Finally, he sighed slightly and walked over to stand before Pudding.

He told her how Huo Mian fell into the ocean.

After he finished, she fell silent; after a while, she asked, “How about my dad?”

“Your dad… is now in the hospital. Probably because of the shock, he’s in a coma,” Su Yu told her little by little.

Pudding’s eyes dimmed, but she didn’t bawl as other kids would do in such situations.

She just turned around quietly and looked at the distance from the balcony.

“Pudding…” Su Yu reached out and patted her small shoulder.

“Handsome Su, are Little Bean and I… maybe losing both of them this time? Dad loves Mom so much; he won’t live in the world without her. Have they abandoned Little Bean and me?” Pudding asked in sorrow.

“No. No. Your Mom loves you and she didn’t want to abandon you. Listen, Pudding, we are not sure your mom is dead; she might be still alive. I’ve sent a rescue team to search for her. Your dad is only unconscious for the time being and will wake up. Do you understand?”

Tears seemed to flash in her eyes but didn’t fall.

After a long while, she suddenly turned her head and said something to Su Yu.
