361 Difficult, Lonely & Scary (1/2)

Although Ah-Si never had to even lift his finger to get anything in his life, there was another reason why he was so easily beaten by Xiu. His heart didn't want to resist her. Something in his heart didn't allow him to resist with full force. As for why he cried... He was a sensitive person and Xiu's words weren't exactly nice.

The way she said things made his heart hurt badly to the point that physical pain had no effect on him. And the worst was done by Xiu when she dropped the bomb by telling him that Nora could never be a mother again. As if something in him died at that moment. Also, those words were enough to make him hate himself.

Xiu really didn't know what impact her words were capable of bringing.

Xiu could see his reaction but she didn't feel bad for what she did or said. No way! She wasn't gonna regret it. Not this time!

Besides, even regretting needed energy which she didn't have at the moment. Xiu was suddenly startled when a small baby girl appeared before her eyes. She looked up to see Xin Zimen holding Ava in his hands as he was passing the girl to Nora with a gentle smile, ”No one in this world can take what is yours. She's your daughter and it'll stay like that till the very end.”

Nora looked up at him with tears of gratitude before she took Ava in her arms with her whole body trembling in excitement and nervousness. When she held this little one in the morning her feelings were different but now when she knew that this was her own flesh and blood, Nora couldn't describe her feelings at all.

”Ba-ba-ba...” Little Ava babbled excitedly while clapping her hands as she immediately latched herself against Nora's chest and snuggled in comfortably making her mother cry those happy tears.

Nora couldn't help hugging the little girl in her arms tightly and kissed her baby girl all over her tiny little face and her hands. She couldn't stop herself from taking in this scent that only belonged to her daughter. Her baby girl.

Xiu heard a clicking sound and shifted her eyes away from this mother-daughter reunion towards Xin Zimen who had clicked his fingers and all the help in the house rushed towards their young master to take him to his room.

”Is he okay?” Xiu couldn't help asking him while scratching her head awkwardly. Maybe, she really went overboard. But it wasn't her fault. She was reminded of her dark past and she couldn't hold herself back at all!

Xin Zimen looked at Xiu for a moment with a deep look in his eyes before he held her wrist and pulled her up from the floor saying, ”Worry about yourself first.” He made her sit on the chair in the dining room because he wanted to give some privacy to Nora in the lounge with her daughter. Then he brought a first-aid kit and Xiu looked at him in surprise when he held her hand and tried to clean her bloody knuckles. ”You don't even know how to throw a punch. How could you hurt yourself?”

Xin Zimen smiled a little at her words shaking his head. ”No, you didn't. If his mom was alive, she would have done worse than this.” He applied some antibiotic ointment on her wound and added, ”Besides, that physical pain won't kill him but the guilt you left in his heart might. You see he has been a sensitive kid since his mother died. His mother's death left a huge impact on his young heart and that's why no one had ever even been angry at him. We always let him do what he wanted to.”

Xiu's heart shook at his words. ”How can you be so nonchalant when your son is hurting? Shouldn't you be with him? My intention was not to guilt-trip him. I just wanted him to know that there is always two sides to the story. He wasn't hurt alone.”
