Bab 227: Slim Hope

Xia Ruoxin held her daughter in her arms. Shen Wei had told her not to return to work until her wounds were completely healed. She had plenty of time to keep her daughter company.

She placed her chin on top of her daughter's small head. When she lowered her head, a fog clouded her eyes. The smell of rain filled the air like the aftermath of a downpour.

Rainy finished her milk and hugged Xia Ruoxin's elbow in content. It was delicious compared to rice paste. She blinked her long eyelashes and realized there's a lollipop in front of her.

"Mommy, is this for me?" she asked her mother, unsure. Was she having a lollipop today?

"Yes. This is for you because you have been very obedient today. This is Mommy's reward for you." Xia Ruoxin put the lollipop in her daughter's tiny hands and peeled off the wrapper for her. Rainy happily put the lollipop into her mouth.
