บท 68: You're Back (2)

Xinyi squatted on the ground, trying several times to call Skrider out but failed. Her shoulders sagged because of tiredness and frustration. After a minute, she straightened her back again. Then she dug deeper in her heart for the most special moments in her life.

There was one or someone special, the late Lady Xian Ai, the woman she knew as her mother. From then on, childhood memories started flooding in her mind. She recalled the happy days Lady Ai cuddled and told her stories as she tucked her to bed. How the woman looked after and taught her with care.

She smiled as tears began falling on her closed eyes as she thought of those carefree days the mother feigned sickness to take Xinyi away from the animals. The times she fell asleep in her mother's arms and more. As memories flooded, tears fell like a stream on her face. Those wonderful memories drowned her in her emotions and forgot to call Skrider.

Good thing, Nianshi was there to remind her. "My lady, call Skrider now."
