He scratched his head with his fingers, and his eyes grew darker. Li Manni continued to go in and out of his office without noticing that at the moment, a look of frustration flashed in the man’s eyes.

…

Xia Ruoxin returned to the hospital. She could hear her daughter’s cries from afar.

Startled, she started running towards the sound.

The closer she got, the more certain she was that it was Rainy’s voice. However, why was she crying? Was she being naughty? Why was she crying in such a heart-wrenching way?

“Mommy… I want Mommy…” The toddler’s voice was hoarse from crying, and there was the nurse’s constant coaxing voice. Only that the child had no intention of stopping.

Her daughter would seldom cry, much less making a fuss like this.

She ran in and saw the tiny frame, shoulders shaking with two streaks of tears rolling off her eyes. Her face was flushed from crying.

Her tiny arms clutched tightly at her doll while the nurse’s hand patted her little back.

“Mommy…” She kept crying and coughing no matter how much coaxing the nurse gave.

“Rainy, don’t cry. Your mother will be here soon.”

The child kept crying which caused a few nurses to fumble.

“Rainy.” Xia Ruoxin rushed forward. Upon hearing her voice, Rainy finally stopped crying. However, beads of tears continued to fall from her red and swollen eyes.

“Mommy…” she called out to Xia Ruoxin in a grievance. She reached out with both her hands.

Xia Ruoxin scooped her daughter into her arms. When she rested her hand on her daughter’s head, she realized she had half of her hair left, and it’s getting lesser.

How could this happen?

“Miss Xia, Rainy knew she had lost a lot of hair, and she was worried she would become bald. She started crying and wouldn’t stop no matter how we coaxed her,” a nurse explained apologetically. It hurt so much to hear the child’s pitiful cries.

Xia Ruoxin shifted her hand gingerly and placed it on her daughter’s shoulders instead.

“Rainy, were you crying because of this?” She lowered her head and asked her daughter who was clutching her clothes.

Rainy’s nose sniffed. “Mommy, will I become ugly once I’m bald? Will you not want me when I become bald?” She squeezed herself carefully in Xia Ruoxin’s embrace, afraid she would be forgotten or abandoned. Perhaps, Xia Ruoxin had been too occupied recently and neglected Rainy’s existing lack of security.

She had always been an overly sensitive child.

“How could I? Mommy loves Rainy the most. Have you forgotten that? You are Mommy’s little angel. How could I abandon you?” Xia Ruoxin placed her hands on her daughter’s face and wiped her tears away tenderly. How could she abandon her precious baby? She would not be herself without Rainy.

“Really? Mommy will still love me even if I’m bald?” the child asked carefully. There was a look of unhidden fear in her red eyes.
