Chapter 875: She Didn’t Wish To Lose This Son
“Since you know that I won’t be comfortable staying in the sa space as you, then shouldn’t you get lost yourself?” Gu ngng saw no need to be courteous towards Cole.
Cole gazed aningfully at Chixuan. “But if Little Xuan can’t find when he awakes, he will rush out in a frenzy again. It’s snowing so heavily outside now, and he is just a first-level beast... I am afraid he can’t withstand it. It’s too dangerous.”
Gu ngng clenched her fists. Chixuan’s last look at her right before he vanished into the snow the other ti was like a knife piercing into Gu ngng’s heart.
She was unable to deny the truth behind Cole’s words. If Cole was not around when Chixuan awakes, he would definitely head out to find him again.
Taking a deep breath, Gu ngng ignored Cole and just nestled in Elvis’ arms, quietly watching the unmoving Chixuan with worried eyes.
“Wooo...”
After a long ti, Chixuan appeared to be waking up. He moved his neck before propping himself up into a sitting position.
“Chixuan.” Gu ngng’s heart finally settled down.
Chixuan was startled by Gu ngng’s voice. He turned around and stared at her in surprise, as if he never thought Gu ngng would actually be here.
After a half-second pause, he finally opened his mouth and said, “Mother.”
Gu ngng leaped out from Elvis’ arms towards Chixuan and hugged him tight. She kissed and nuzzled against his forehead. “My good baby. As long as you are fine. You scared Mummy to death...”
Chixuan hesitated before reaching out to stroke Gu ngng’s back, as gently as she herself had once done to coax her sons to sleep. His voice was mild but held a trace of cajoling. “I am sorry to have made you worry.”
Gu ngng shook her head and wiped away her tears. “It’s alright. As long as you are well, Mummy will be fine.”
Chixuan didn’t say anything more and just tied the animal hide around his body to make a simple dress. He then took two steps back. “Mother, I am fine now. You two... should return soon.”
Gu ngng was stunned. She looked at Chixuan expectantly. “You... are not going back with us?”
Chixuan couldn’t bear to see the tears in Gu ngng’s eye. He turned his head. “I am already a grownup and need to be independent.”
“But you are my son,” Gu ngng said.
Chixuan remained resolute. His voice was calm and steady. “I can live independently and still be your son.”
Gu ngng stood up and walked forward. But as she approached him, Chixuan back away. His rejection was clear.
“Chixuan, are you blaming Mummy for not protecting you?” Gu ngng’s heart was grieving but didn’t know what to do. She didn’t know if all parents felt so helpless before their own children. She only knew... she didn’t wish to lose this son.
Chixuan twisted his lips and shook his head. “Mother, I am a wolf.”
Gu ngng looked at Chixuan with a lost expression. She didn’t understand his aning.
Chixuan returned Gu ngng’s gaze and explained slowly, “Wolves do not need protection.”
Gu ngng nodded agreeably. “Good, since you don’t bla Mummy, co back with . If you want independence... at least wait till after the winter season is over.”
Chixuan shook his head as his gaze landed upon Cole. “I cannot leave him all alone.”
