"Mom…" The mumble came from her lips. It sounded sad and painful. Soon, a drop of tear slipped from the corner of her eye, hidden in Chu Lui's chest.
That cold was senseless, but it caused an accidental spasm in his heart. He could not explain what triggered it.
He put his hand on her hair and gently caressed her. It was too bad she missed the unexpected display of tenderness.
She slept soundly. Chu Lui kept glancing at the watch on his wrist. This might well be his first time late for work. His schedule within the company has always been precise like a well-tuned machine. He was never late, and he never leaves early.
Whereas today, he could not get up. It wasn't because he didn't want to; it was impossible. This woman had him in a tight bear hug. In fact, he just couldn't bear to wake her up, not because of the bear hug.
