Chapter 4 - Anger
"What do you mean?" Yuo Ling's breathing laboured greatly as she tried to softly question the child. Yuo Ling guessed that she probably had a broken rib or two.
"I am not your mother." Yuo Ling said that statement with confidence. As far as she remembered Yuo Ling had never had a child or even been in a relationship.
So how could she have a child? The assassins organization she had created is where she spent all her time and energy. Therefore she didn't have the time to be in a relationship or even have a child.
The little child who was holding the corner of her dirty skirt tightly had her head lowered as if she didn't want Yuo Ling to see her at her weakest.
However, even though Yuo Ling had been beaten to an inch of her life, she was still very alert and very aware of her surroundings.
Yuo Ling realized that the child was lowering her head in anger while crying silently. The anger she felt from the small child was so much that it almost felt like killing intent.
This surprised Yuo Ling. Why was the child so angry? Was it because she said that she wasn't her mother? But of course she wasn't. Yuo Ling had spoken the truth. Atleast to the best of her ability anyway.
She was going to kill that bitch Xing Yue, that's if she wasn't already dead. This was just too cruel.
Why would she involve a small child in her cruel schemes? She truly hated Xing Yue from the bottom of her heart.
However, she couldn't treat the child indifferently, it would not be fair to her. It wasn't the child's fault that she got mixed up in that woman's dirty game.
Therefore, Yuo Ling decided to pretend to be the child's mother. If thats what it took to make the child happy and to make her stop crying, then she would do it.
Yuo Ling's heart broke when she saw the child, actually she should be saying her daughter, crying silently. It was such a pitiful sight. She didn't want the child to cry anymore.
Yuo Ling used all her strength to lift up her hand and lightly tap the child's head.
"Alright, stop crying. Mother is wrong. I just forgot some things when I fell earlier."
Her daughter looked up at her slowly, with tears still streaming down her cheeks.
'This child is really pitiful.' Yuo Ling sighed in her heart.
"Mother, it's alright. I understand." Yuo Ling was pleased.
Her daughter was so understanding and filial at such a young age. Yuo Ling decided to treat the little child as her own and protect her.
"I will make sure that bad woman regrets harming mother." The sudden burst of anger surprised Yuo Ling.
She pitied the child even more and vowed to protect her daughter with all her might.
"Don't worry about that. Mother will take care of it." Yuo Ling stated softly while patting the matted hair on the child's head.
Yuo Ling was not going to disagree with her daughter. She would not leave anyone who harmed her or child alive.
She was determined to get revenge for her and her daughter.
