“Mother, Mother...” Shui Anluo cried out excitedly. However, one small move would cause the little darling to immediately burst into tears and it scared her so much that she did not have the courage to move too much.
Luo Yun’s people had found out about the little darling’s illness. Long Manyin walked in and stared at the bawling child and adult. There was another adult on the bed who was sitting stock-still and was afraid to move. She quickly walked over to take the little darling and placed him on her shoulder as she gently patted his small back.
“He’s crying...” Shui Anluo said sadly. Her eyes were red.
“He’s in pain, how can he not cry?” Long Manyin held her grandson as she wiped Shui Anluo’s tears with her free hand. “Seriously, you’ve been a mother for so long but you still don’t know anything.” How could she leave in peace like this?
Chu Ningyi lowered his head. He was included in the category of those who ‘don’t know anything’.
However, he noticed the man at the door when he lowered his head. Chu Ningyi looked up and his eyes met the man’s gaze.
Chu Ningyi recognized that man as Luo Yun and his heart trembled slightly. He knew this man but did not know his actual identity. All he knew was that this man was involved in both the underworld and professional business. Also, he would do things according to his mood so he was both a good and an evil man.
However, Luo Yun and his former mother-in-law?
The little darling fell asleep after Long Manyin held and coaxed him for a little while. This was something that Shui Anluo had not been able to achieve.
“You can’t keep holding him in the same position, he won’t fall asleep like that,” said Long Manyin exasperatedly. How could she leave in peace like this?
“But he starts to cry each time I move.” Shui Anluo was filled with grief. She had held him for an entire night and she could not even move her hands now.
“He’ll stop crying after a while.” Long Manyin reached out and stroked her daughter’s head. In the end, she was still a child.
Shui Anluo lowered her head in silence.
Long Manyin carefully put her grandchild down and stroked his little head. “Why is he still so hot?”
“The doctor says that the fever is at 39.5 degrees now.” Shui Anluo looked down like a child who had done something wrong. She had never noticed a thing at all.
Long Manyin reached out to hold Shui Anluo’s hand. “Luoluo, this isn’t your fault either. It’s normal for children to fall sick.”
“But I’m scared,” Shui Anluo said and immediately buried herself into Long Manyin’s shoulder.
Long Manyin gently patted her daughter’s shoulder. She knew that this period of time would be challenging for her daughter. However, Luo Yun would never allow her to stay so she had no choice but to let Shui Anluo grow up on her own.
“Don’t cry, don’t cry,” Long Manyin consoled softly. “Luoluo, you have to learn how to take care of the child yourself. What’re you going to do once I leave?”
“You’re leaving?” Shui Anluo immediately looked up. Her face was still riddled with tears as she stared at Long Manyin in absolute shock.
Long Manyin stared at Shui Anluo’s tear-stained face, temporarily unable to explain why she was leaving.
“Luoluo, Mother is...”
“Your mother is leaving with me.” Luo Yun immediately cut across and wrapped his arm around Long Manyin’s shoulder. He scanned Shui Anluo from top to bottom but he did not feel any dislike for her, probably because Shui Anluo was Long Manyin’s daughter.
Shui Anluo stared at the man who had appeared in front of her in shock. Her mouth dropped open and the first feeling she had was that there was someone who was eviler than Chu Ningyi in this world.
Was this her stepfather? The legendary stepfather?
She had not opposed her mother’s intention of searching for a second love because her father had hurt her mother so much. Furthermore, her mother did not seem to have any residual feelings for her father. Otherwise, she would never have been able to accept everything that had happened in the past year. But why does her mother have to leave?
