Bai Ruozhu wobbled, nearly losing her balance. She stifled back the tears, saying, "Er Lang, I know you worry about me. I promise that I will return. For you all and Dengdeng, I will come back safely."
Upon seeing Bai Ruozhu's determination, Bai Zepei angrily threw the book he held onto the floor. "Is this how you act as a mother? Have you thought about what will happen to Dengdeng if you leave? He is still breastfeeding!"
"I have stored breast milk in the ice cellar. It can be warmed up to feed Dengdeng every day. And Dengdeng will not want him to have an accident, right?" Bai Ruozhu said as she squatted to retrieve Er Lang's book. She knew Er Lang was genuinely angry since he loved books and would never have thrown them.
As she rose with the retrieved book, she couldn't hold back her tears. She knew it wouldn't be rational for her to go and that her going might not be helpful, but she just couldn't resist her inner conflict.
