An Xiaoning was surprised by the unexpected sight of Shi Qingzhou and Tuoba Shuo at her doorstep. She rushed forward and hugged her mother. "Mother, why are you back so soon? Aren't you still recuperating and nursing your wounds?"
"It's just a minor wound, I'm fine. I don't wish to live abroad any longer. I missed you so much. Baby, it's been hard on you," said Shi Qingzhou, tears flowing from her eyes.
Regardless of how old one may be, they'll always be a child in the eyes of their mother.
An Xiaoning was a tough woman who could withstand all kinds of grueling situations. However, her mother's endearing words were enough to bring tears to her eyes. "It's nothing," said An Xiaoning.
An Xiaoning realized that her mother was looking drastically different from her previous emaciated self. She used to be as thin as bones; however, she had since gotten chubbier and appeared much healthier than before.
