She looked at the two fellows and said, “You guys should go rest . Grandma will bring you to visit Jiaojiao later . I’m going to cook some delicious food for her . ”
Zhou Shuang opened the door to the ward without knocking . Lu Yinan was holding a bowl and feeding Jiaojiao .
The little lass was leaning against the head of the bed, looking very frail . She had lost a considerable amount of weight .
Zhou Shuang rushed forward . “Jiaojiao . ”
Jiaojiao was engrossed in eating so she didn’t notice when Zhou Shuang had entered the ward .
When she heard Zhou Shuang’s voice, her eyes—which resembled Lu Yinan’s—lit up . She looked up and her eyes gleamed with tears . “Mommy . ”
Zhou Shuang was quickly by her side . “Precious darling, let Mommy hug you . ”
She ran past Lu Yinan .
Excitement overcame him as well when he heard Zhou Shuang’s voice . He wanted to turn to look at her, but she had already rushed past him as fast as the wind .
She didn’t even look at him .
It immediately dampened his mood .
Zhou Shuang hugged Jiaojiao in one swift motion . Jiaojiao wrapped her arms around her as well .
The mother and daughter were caught in a tight embrace .
Jiaojiao cried, “Mommy, don’t leave . Don’t leave Jiaojiao . ”
Zhou Shuang gently pushed her away and smiled as she shook her head . “It’s not true that Mommy doesn’t want Jiaojiao . Don’t let your mind run wild . ”
She said that while wiping Jiaojiao’s tears .
The little lass’s eyelashes were studded with tears and it made one’s heart ache .
Zhou Shuang’s words were a reassurance to her, and it instantly made her stop crying .
She wiped away her own tears and choked, “Daddy is exhausted from taking care of Jiaojiao . Mommy, can you hug Daddy too?”
Then she grabbed Lu Yinan’s wrist with one hand and reached for Zhou Shuang’s hand with the other .
She wanted them to hold hands .
“Daddy is an adult, he doesn’t need Mommy’s hug . ” Zhou Shuang forcefully retracted her hand just before their hands came into contact . She smiled and coaxed, “Mommy will hug Jiaojiao, alright?”
She smiled and hugged Jiaojiao .
“Who said so?”
Lu Yinan suddenly spoke in a drawl .
His voice was hoarse, and it had revealed his exhaustion .
Zhou Shuang stilled and glanced backward at him .
She remained silent and continued hugging Jiaojiao tighter .
Lu Yinan saw that Zhou Shuang had deliberately ignored him, so he looked at Jiaojiao instead . He pouted and gave a pitiful look . “Jiaojiao, Daddy needs Mommy’s hug . ”
Then he winked at her .
Jiaojiao immediately pushed Zhou Shuang towards Lu Yinan . “Mommy, give Daddy a hug . Daddy read me a story and sang for me at night . He even rubbed my tummy . ”
Out of her three kids, this little lass was the most obedient . She was a girl of few words but she was smart .
Seeing the hopeful look on her face, Zhou Shuang frowned and pressed her lips before she had bowed her head .
“Mommy, give Daddy a hug . It’s been tough on Daddy because he had to take care of me . And he is terrible at singing The Little Red Riding Hood . ”
Then she grabbed Zhou Shuang’s hand and pushed it towards Lu Yinan .
She winked back at him .
Lu Yinan immediately understood and refused to let Zhou Shuang run away this time . He grabbed her hand .
Zhou Shuang wanted to break free from his grasp, but he held on tighter .
