It felt like something was being torn from her life—the immense pain came in waves.
She struggled to see clearly, but saw nothing at all.
"Mommy, mommy."
There was an urgent cry from Xiao Yining next to her ear.
An Ziqi jolted awake from her dream and saw Xiao Yining lying next to her, looking at her anxiously, extending a small hand to wipe the cold sweat from her forehead.
An Ziqi subconsciously reached out to touch the scar of her appendectomy on her lower abdomen, and a faint pain emanated from the scar.
"Mommy, what's wrong with you?"
"Nothing, I just had a bad dream."
Xiao Yining looked at her seriously and said, "Don't be afraid mommy, I'm here."
"Mm-hmm."
An Ziqi smiled, raised her hand and gently touched his little face for comfort. Only then did she realize that she was drenched in a cold sweat.
She got out of bed and took a quick shower in the bathroom, then went to the kitchen to make breakfast for Xiao Yining.
