Her face looked wan and lifeless when she looked at him.
A little taken aback, he hurried over to his mother's side and cupped her face with his two hands. "Mommy, you look bad. What happened? Did anyone bully you?"
"No one."
"Mommy is lying!"
Her son looked at her angrily. "Someone must've bullied you. Mommy, tell Youyou who it is, and I'll take revenge for you!"
She forced out a smile and opened her arms to him, saying in a broken voice, "Youyou, come over here and give mommy a hug."
He looked at her face and saw that her fragile self was on the verge of collapsing. Instantly, his heart ached nearly to the point of suffocation.
He immediately climbed into her embrace.
She buried her petite face in the crook of his neck as she hugged his warm and pliant body more tightly. Somehow, her frigid heart regained some heat from his warmth.
