Volume 1 Chapter 39 Visiting Family Farm (1/2)
Han Luo felt guilt smother her chest. ”Sorry big brother Yuan I always rely on others I didn't mean to disturb you”
”You shouldn't say that. We are children and we have to rely on our elders to survive.” Mo Yuan tried to comfort her. ”I'm older than you, so you can rely on me too.” Saying that he averted his gaze. After a moment, when he looked at her, he saw her silently gazing at him. He controlled his expression and asked, ”Why are you still looking at me? Close your eyes.” He covered her eyes with his hand. Three minutes later, he took his hand off and saw her soundly asleep.

After her facial treatment, Ma Rui spoke to her husband and went out for shopping. That's when she came across news of a storm rampaging in the neighboring city. Upon hearing the city's name, she hurriedly drove back. The merciless rain was still impaling the ground. Ma Rui's heart almost dropped when thinking about the children she left at the house. 'Oh God, please keep them safe.'
She reached her house soon and hastily unlocked the door. Without hesitating, the mother dropped all her things at the entrance and searched for the two kids. ”Xiao Yuan! Luo'er! Where are you?” Her voice shook as she climbed upstairs. Ma Rui went to Mo Yuan's room first but saw no one. Her heartbeat had begun to syncopate. After that, she opened the door of her room and paused. She was stunned to see them together in her room.
A sudden wave of relief made her legs lose strength. She sat down on the floor thanking the Almighty, glad that these two were all right. She went closer and saw a white, wet cloth on Han Luo's forehead. 'Does she have a fever? How come?' Ma Rui touched her little hand and noticed that her temperature was a bit high. 'Did she play in the storm? It could be because of staying in the sun too long yesterday. I shouldn't have let her do that.'
While pondering, her eyes landed on her son who dozed off while sitting on the chair. She smiled and affectionately rubbed his head. 'You did a good job taking care of her. I'm so proud of you.'
However, something sparked in her mind and she covered her mouth. 'Oh my God! My son took care of Luo'er. They are in the same bedroom my son is so manly taking her to the bedroom. I wish I could capture that moment oh, wait! I have to take some photos.' She dashed downstairs, grabbed her cell phone, and dashed back upstairs to capture some photos of them. 'My son, you are still immature. You should've taken this chance and slept on the bed with her!' She then questioned, 'Should I carry him to the bed and take some photos? That wouldn't be a bad idea'
While thinking that, she tried to carry her son, but at that time, Mo Yuan opened his eyes. He looked at his mother sleepily and called out, ”Mom?” He thought that he was dreaming.
Ma Rui sighed. 'Why did he have to wake up now?' She just missed a good opportunity. She asked, ”Are you okay? I'm sorry that I'm late.”
Mo Yuan finally woke up properly and replied, ”Mom, Han Luo she caught a fever.”
”I know, I checked just now.”
Mo Yuan looked down dejectedly. ”Sorry, mom, I couldn't protect her-”
