34 Chapter 34- Test him (2/2)
”Before saying what you want to say, I heard Ya Nuo crying from the garden. She's never cried this much before. What happened?”
”Ah... that.. I'm not sure either. She wouldn't tell us anything.”
”I see.. I'll go visit her tomorrow. You said you had something to tell me?”
”Yes. Actually, I wanted to ask you if you still have the picture of mother holding her as a child. The close up one where you could see her birthmark.”
”Yes. Here, I have it with me all the time. She was an adorable little angel who grabbed my finger with her tiny fingers when she first saw me. She wasn't afraid of strangers either.”
”This is it.”
”What do you mean?”
”This is the same mark I saw on her. Behind Ya Nuo's ears.”
”Are you sure you didn't see wrong?”
”Of course not! This is a crown shaped birthmark. I brushed her hair aside and made her stay in place when I checked it.”
”Then.. you mean that Ya Nuo is...”
”I'm not entirely sure so I pulled two strands of her hair when she wasn't paying attention. I also pulled my hair out so I can go for a DNA test tomorrow.”
”Good. If Ya Nuo is really...”
”Grandpa,. before the results come out don't do or say anything to anyone.”
”Alright.”

”n..n.noo.. somebody help me..please.. please... ahh!! Haa... ahh..”
Na Na switched on her lamp and wiped the cold sweat off her forehead. Her eyes were red from the horrible dream she had. Her hands supported her head when she sat up. 'That nightmare again... must be because I heard Ya Nuo's story today...looks like I wont be able to sleep tonight. Oh right.. today's also that date.. hah... no wonder why I'm like this..'
She quietly walked across the hall and knocked on her parent's door.
'Looks like mommy and daddy are both sleeping soundly. What should I do? I can't sleep after the nightmare unless mommy sleeps with me...maybe I can ask Wei Wei if he is still awake..'
She smiled when she saw that Wei Wei's room lights were still on from the bottom of the door crack.
knock knock (lightly)
Wei Wei: ”Nana? It's so late already. Aren't you supposed to be asleep already?”
Yu Wen: ”Nana? Still awake?”
Nana smiled, ”I... couldn't sleep...'
Wei Wei felt her forehead and wrapped a sweater around her shoulders, ”You have a fever. I'll call for mom.”
”No.. mom and dad are sleeping. I knocked on their door before I came here.”
Wei Wei settled her in his bed. ”If you can't sleep alone then try to sleep here. We'll be talking for a while if you don't mind the noise.”
”Mmm.. I dont mind..”
”If your fever gets worse later, I'll call mom okay?”
”Okay..”
”Good, now sleep.”
Yu Wen: ”Are you sure she doesn't need any medicine?”
Wei Wei checked his phone and shook his head, ”This happens every time. It's normal.”
”What do you mean every time?”
”It's a forbidden topic so I can't talk about it.”
Nana: ”Bro...”
Wei Wei turned around and smiled awkwardly, ”What is it?”
Nana: ”Can you hold my hand until I fall asleep?”
He sighed helplessly, ”Alright, princess. Here, don't drool on my hand though hahaha”
She closed her eyes and quickly fell in deep slumber. He extracted his hand slowly and tucked her in. After making sure that she was asleep, Wei Wei pointed towards the balcony and Yu Wen followed behind.
Sigh
”We can't talk about this in front of Nana, it'll scare her...” he felt an inescapable weight on his chest as he continued.
”She became like this because of me.”
