Ying Bao looked closely at her mother and did not see anything different from her usual mother, but Xu Xiyan's hands felt different to her.
The calluses that Xu Xiyan got from playing violins weren't on her right hand anymore.
Ying Bao was the first one to notice something was off. She climbed onto the bed, trying to hug and kiss her mother.
But Alice wasn't as kind as Xu Xiyan was to kids. After the little girl kissed Alice on her cheek, she turned her head away and even frowned a little.
"Mummy, why aren't you kissing me back?" Ying Bao asked, hurt by the little changes in her mother.
"I'm sorry, baby, but my head hurts a little," Alice tried to explain, as she had no idea how Xu Xiyan usually treated her daughter.
"Ying Bao, let your mummy rest a little," Huo Yunshen said, thinking that his "wife" was really experiencing a headache. "Why don't you go and play with Uncle Treeleaf?"
