Xi Xi had fallen asleep in the other room. Her arm was attached to the IV drip while He Xiyan held her free hand tightly.
He Xiyan's heart ached for her daughter when she saw how pale her daughter's face was.
She wished that she had been the one who had been shot and hoped that she was currently the one lying on the hospital bed instead of her daughter.
Yuan Yuan approached her and placed a hand gently on her shoulder as he said, "Mom, you should get some rest. I'll look after Xi Xi."
Yuan Yuan didn't want his mother to tire herself out. He had already noticed his mother's bloodshot eyes and dark circles that rimmed her eyes.
She hadn't slept in two or three days, so he was worried that her body would not be able to hold out much longer.
He Xiyan shook her head. She couldn't fall asleep in this state.
