"My mommy doesn't want me anymore!"
Upon hearing the word 'mommy,' the little one's bright eyes suddenly dimmed, "My daddy said that after giving birth to me, my mommy ran off with someone else!"
As the words fell, the originally pleasant furrow of the little brows tightened, and a trace of desolation flashed across the little face. Ye Nuanxi felt a pang in her heart, and without thinking, she reached out and embraced the little one in her arms, "Darling, be good; your mommy won't abandon you!"
A mother who would abandon her own flesh and blood to escape must be facing an issue with the child's father that was no small matter!
"Your mommy is probably just mad at your daddy. Once she's no longer mad, she will naturally come back!"
Watching the little one obediently cuddle into her arms, her heart softened into a mess, sour and aching. If the child she had helped bear all those years ago was still around, he should be about this age too, also without a mommy!
