"Little, little."
Sister.
Zheng Mengni lay on the pristine white hospital bed, anxiously whispering to herself. Her voice was so soft that it was difficult to discern what she was saying.
Seeing this, Sun Yao quickly bent down, tilting her face to bring her ear closer to the girl's lips. "Xiao Ni, what's wrong? What are you saying?"
Zheng Mengni called out softly, "Little."
Sun Yao was suddenly taken aback. The bond between these two children was so profound. Xiao Ni even dreamt of little.
Holding Zheng Mengni's icy little hand, Sun Yao comforted her, "It's okay, sweetheart. Don't be afraid; Mommy is here."
Just as Sun Yao was about to stand up, she felt a firm grip on the back of her neck. Looking down, she saw her daughter's big eyes shimmering with tears, filled with a look of shock.
Xiao Ni had woken up.
In the next moment, the soft and delicate girl leaped into her mother's embrace. Sun Yao slightly leaned forward to make Zheng Mengni more comfortable. She gently supported her daughter's thin shoulders and gradually pulled her into a warm hug, patting and soothing her. "Xiao Ni, Mommy is here. Don't be afraid; you're home now."
Zheng Mengni sobbed quietly. Bright tears flowed from her eyes like a spring.
"Mommy, I'm scared."
Before this moment, Zheng Mengni had never thought that crying could be so overwhelming. But an instinct told her that she needed to cry; it was essential to let it out.
Children who can shed tears appropriately are often more loved by adults. What seems like a lowly tactic can be the most effective.
Just moments ago, Sun Yao, who had been anxiously pacing outside the hospital room, momentarily forgot about the paternity test when she saw Zheng Mengni crying. She had sworn to treat both children equally, yet her heart and eyes were filled only with the precious child in her arms, seemingly forgetting the other child lying in critical condition in the ICU.
But at the moment when Zheng Mengni wanted Sun Yao to forget, she reminded her of Ye Bing. Zheng Mengni peeked out from her mother's embrace, tears brimming in her eyes as she softly sniffled and asked, "Mommy, where is he?"
Sun Yao's body stiffened, feeling both angry and ashamed. How could she, as a mother, forget about her own child when even Xiao Ni, as a friend, kept him in her heart at all times? However, Ye Bing's injuries were too severe; even the doctors shook their heads. Until she could ensure that Zheng Mengni would be able to accept this outcome, Sun Yao was reluctant to add another person to worry about.
"Be good, my darling. He’s also... well, when you get better, Mommy will take you to see him, okay?"
Zheng Mengni shook her head while crying, her frail body trembling uncontrollably, her dark eyes filled with sorrow. "No, no! I must see him!"
Xiao Ni had always been incredibly obedient; she did whatever was asked without ever arguing. Sun Yao hadn’t anticipated that her little one would be so stubborn.
Zheng Mengni held onto Sun Yao's hand tightly, sobbing in pain. "Mommy, he must be seriously hurt. He seems to have offended someone he shouldn't have. I was captured by people from his family; they wanted to use me to threaten him."
Zheng Mengni was not lying.
