Chapter 761 - Bets (2/2)

Xiu continued to pat her shoulder soothingly, ”I know. But it's okay now. Aren't we just fine now?” Nora didn't immediately pull away, she continued to hug her as if to reassure herself that Xiu was real and not just a fiction of her imagination. ”Nora, my Sweet Dora, I'm really fine. How can you cry like this at this age? What if your daughter saw it?”

”Ava isn't here,” Nora replied in between her sobs.

”Oh, but your nephew is here,” said Xiu and Nora pulled away to look at her face in confusion.

Xiu rubbed her stomach, ”This foodie inside of me! He can see you. The doctor said he can even hear you. Imagine what he'll feel seeing his aunt crying like this?”

Nora stared at Xiu's face for a while before laughing out, ”Silly, the baby is so small. He can't hear you yet. And by the way, how do you know it's a boy?”

”Because I have an intuition,” replied Xiu as if that was meant to explain everything. ”It's definitely a boy!”

”What if it's a girl?” questioned Nora.

”But I'm saying it's a boy!” Xiu seemed determined about this. ”How about this, let's have a bet? What do you say?”

”Okay. What are we betting?” Nora agreed pretty readily as she wiped her tears.

”If you win, I'll give you anything you want. But if I win, you better start calling me elder sister!”

Nora thought about it and nodded, ”Okay. Deal!” As they shook their hands, Nora questioned, ”However, why do you want it to be a boy?”

”Ava needs a brother, silly!” Nora was stunned to hear that reply from Xiu. ”Although Jackie is there to protect her, he is her uncle. We need a brother as well.”

Nora pinched Xiu's cheek saying, ”Then let me start calling you elder sister from today. I don't even want to win this bet anymore.”

”I didn't want to intrude,” Darren suddenly interrupted them. ”But I just couldn't help it. Why are you both betting on my kid? Is it really time for that? The poor kid hasn't even come to this world yet!”

”Future planning is a thing,” said both Nora and Xiu simultaneously before sharing a look and laughing out.

Seeing Xiu laugh like that with Nora, he didn't add anything else. It was good enough that she was feeling happy. In fact, he knew the perfect cure for Xiu had been Nora. This girl whom she met the moment she opened her eyes into the same world, same time and yet, in a different life.

This friendship had become more than just precious to both of them now.
