Yeh Cangqiong's words were exceedingly gentle…
She turned her head and looked into his moist, deep eyes, feeling an overwhelming ache and stifled pain inside her.
She desperately wanted to confess that she had lost her Xiao Guai, that she was scared, heartbroken, and utterly helpless.
But she couldn't. She needed to bear it alone.
Faced with his exceptionally tender gaze, she shook her head. "It's nothing. I'm fine!"
Her voice was slightly hoarse.
Perhaps fearing he'd follow up with questions, she grabbed her phone and walked out quickly.
She sat on the sofa with her laptop, pulling up the news, though her mind repeatedly replayed the scene from earlier.
Her hand gripped the phone tightly, unwilling to let go even for a minute.
The bedroom lights were off, allowing the moonlight to quietly stream in.
"Mom…"
Xiao Guai's voice echoed in her heart, stirring her wide awake.
"Honey, have something to eat!"
A tender voice came from behind her.
