After a few days without seeing her, Xiao Yi Xun had noticeably lost weight, her small face no longer as rosy as before.
Yixun wasn’t in the best spirits initially, but she instantly perked up upon seeing Lin Yixun, "Mom, Mom!"
When Yixun tried to get out of bed, Sister Yi quickly intervened, "My little darling, you’re getting an IV; you can’t move right now!"
Despite Sister Yi’s quick reaction, Yixun’s large movents still tugged at the needle on the back of her hand, causing her to cry out in pain.
Lin Yixun hurried over, "It’s okay, it’s okay, Yixun, be a good girl!"
While comforting Yixun, Lin Yixun turned to Sister Yi, "Sister Yi, quickly call the nurse over."
Sister Yi froze for a mont, then nodded hurriedly and rushed to the nurse’s station.
Soon, the nurse arrived in the ward, carefully examining Yixun’s hand before frowning and saying, "The needle has slipped out."
Because the needle had co out, the nurse had to reinsert it into the back of Yixun’s hand. Yixun’s veins were very fine, and it had taken a lot of effort to find one before. The nurse had to work hard again to find a new spot.
Lin Yixun watched as the long, slim needle was slowly inserted into Yixun’s tiny hand, feeling heartbreaking pain herself.
Seeing the pained expression on Lin Yixun’s face, Yixun tried to reassure her, "Mom, I’m okay; it doesn’t hurt."
Lin Yixun stared intently at her child’s little face, scrunched up in discomfort. How could it not hurt?
This child was so considerate it made her heartache.
Soon, the nurse finished her work and, before leaving, reminded them, "Make sure she stays still during the infusion. Although it’s not a big deal if the needle slips out again, it’s still distressing for a child to go through that pain again."
"Yes, thank you, Nurse."
Lin Yixun slowly withdrew her gaze and looked down at the swollen area on the back of Yixun’s hand where the needle had been. It was alarmingly swollen.
Lin Yixun couldn’t help but feel a bit guilty. If it weren’t for her, Yixun wouldn’t have moved, and this wouldn’t have happened.
"It’s all Mom’s fault. It’s all my fault."
Looking at Lin Yixun’s tear-filled eyes, Yixun shook her head vigorously, "Mom, it really doesn’t hurt at all! Not even a bit!"
"How could it not hurt when such a long needle is poking into your flesh?"
"Since Mom is here, it really doesn’t hurt at all." Yixun smiled brightly but then suddenly seed to think of sothing and her face darkened, "Mom, Teacher Xu said that kids who cry a lot aren’t liked by their parents. Mom, just now... I cried so loudly; does that an you won’t like anymore?"
Lin Yixun then realized why Yixun had held back her tears when the nurse was reinserting the needle. It was because she was afraid that her mom wouldn’t like her anymore.
Lin Yixun felt a mix of emotions; she was touched but also felt an ache in her heart. She shook her head with a smile, "No, you’ll always be Mommy’s precious baby. No matter what, Mommy will always love you."
"Mom really loves !"
"More than pearls."
"Then... can Mom move in with and Dad?"
Lin Yixun’s expression changed slightly but she quickly regained her composure and smiled, "Mom can’t live with Dad."
"Why not? Other kids’ parents live together."
"Mom and Dad are different. You’re still young; you don’t understand yet. You’ll understand when you grow up."
