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.
