Chapter 441 - Promise (2/2)

"Like I said, Guang Ying… Xiao Lin doesn't remember much…" explained Mr. Ye.

With a deep sigh, Ghost said, "I want to take her home…"

When Lin heard that the grey-haired man named "Guang Ying" wanted to take her home, tears started to flow out of her eyes as she hugged Mr. Ye's waist tightly and cried, "No! Xiao Lin doesn't want to go with him!"

When Mr. Ye patted her on the back, Lin looked up into his eyes and with a choked voice, she asked, "Xiao Lin will be good! Xiao Lin will study hard and not be picky with food! Big Brother, please don't send me away! Please don't abandon me!"

Mr. Ye felt his heart ached as he looked at Lin whose face was covered with snot and tears. She was like an innocent child who had yet to learn how to cry gracefully, but this was what Mr. Ye liked about her.

In a soft voice, Mr. Ye smiled and patted Lin on the head, "Xiao Lin is a really good girl. How can I bear to send you somewhere dangerous? But this man here… His name is Guang Ying. He's cute, right? He wants to invite you to his house to play… "

Lin shook her head and cried louder, "No! I don't want to!"

"Xiao Lin, Big Brother has to go away for a while… Remember Xiao Tian?"

Lin sniffed and nodded. "Your son?"

Mr. Ye had told her about Ye Tian before, and she knew that he was important to Mr. Ye, so she remembered his name.

As he looked at her beautiful and innocent looking face, Mr. Ye said with a sad voice, "He's hurt now, and I've to take care of him…"

"Xiao Tian is hurt?" asked Lin with a worried voice. If Mr. Ye was hurt, she would be really upset. So, she knew that Mr. Ye was really upset at the moment because she knew that he loved his son very much.

With a gentle smile, Mr. Ye patted Lin's hand and said, "Yeah… Dr. Wong has something to do too, so she can't take care of you for now… Guang Ying will take care of you for a while. I know him. He won't hurt a fly... He'll take care - "

"No!" Lin buried her face in his arm and shook her head as she cried, "No! Scare!"

"Xiao Lin, Guang Ying is a good boy… He won't hurt you… Have I ever lied to you?"

Lin hesitated for a moment. She then looked up at him before saying softly, "No."

Mr. Ye smiled and gently patted Lin's head. With a soft voice, he asked, "I know you're scared, but can you do this for your big brother?"

Lin turned to look at the grey-haired man who was looking at her with a weird expression. She then looked at Mr. Ye who was obviously torn between staying with her and staying with his son. She knew that Mr. Ye had done a lot for her, and she did not want to cause more trouble for him.

In the end, she made up her mind. Letting his hand go, she agreed with a soft sigh, "Mmhmm…"

Then, she lifted her left pinky and whispered, "Promise you'll take me home soon…"

Mr. Ye gulped as he looked at her pinky. He knew that once she went back with Ghost, it would be hard for him to get her back again. However, in his heart, he knew that she did not belong with him in the first place.

She was Ghost's mother… She had to be with her family, and Mr. Ye knew that he was not her family.

With a smile, Mr. Ye hooked his pinky finger with hers as he lied to her, "Promise…"
