Chapter 832 She Is Pretty

Chapter 832 She Is Pretty

Tang Hebe was feeling really distressed for her son who refused to leave her side. Even when he woke up in the morning, he continued to cling to her and buried his face in her neck refusing to let go. It took a lot of coaxing to make him let go and go home with nanny Mi for a while.

But in the afternoon, he was back and ran to Tang Hebe once again.

"Aiyo, my baby is getting clingier," Tang Hebe kissed his cheek lovingly.

Little Justin looked into her eyes and used his small hand to touch the bandage on her hand as he asked, "Hurt?"

Tang Hebe gave him a sweet smile, "No, baby, it doesn't hurt at all."

He didn't look like he believed her very much but he didn't say anything. He pouted his small lips and continued to look into her eyes making her confused.

"What's wrong?" she asked him.

"Mom," he called out in a whisper. "You remember me?"

Tang Hebe was startled when she saw the anticipation in his eyes. She nodded her head and said, "Oh, how can I forget my Justin? Aren't you mom's little baby? How can I ever forget you?"

He looked wronged as he complained, "But you did forget."

Tang Hebe's heart clenched when she heard him say that and hugged him tightly. She picked him up and said, "I'm sorry. Mom's really sorry for that, baby. It won't happen again."

He placed his head on her shoulder and nodded his head.

"Did you eat?" she asked.

"I did," he answered.

"You didn't bother Nanny Mi, did you?"

"I didn't," he replied.

"That's my good boy," she rubbed his head adoringly. "Come, mom will go out on a walk with you. Would you like that?"

"Yes," he replied like a well-mannered child. But he suddenly stopped her.

"What?"

"You can put me down," he said. "I can walk."

Tang Hebe was surprised to hear that. He usually really liked it when she carried him around but today, he wanted her to put him down so he could walk? She couldn't understand it.

"Mom is hurt," his milky voice explained it to her clearing her doubts. "I'm a big boy now. I can walk."

Tang Hebe felt so sweet listening to him and kissed his forehead. "Okay." She didn't insist on carrying him around. Since he wanted to grow up, she'll just let him be.

Nanny Mi looked at the mother and son feeling gratified. She was having a difficult time with Justin in the past days without Tang Hebe around. Justin was young but he didn't like to talk to anyone else other than Tang Hebe. He was unusually attached to his mother as if seeking some security that only she could provide. So, even though Nanny Mi had been around him for a long time, he was still not willing to interact with her.

At most, he'd cooperate with her like a well-behaved child just because Tang Hebe asked him to be a good boy. But all in all, he was an adorable kid who hardly gave her a hard time.

Tang Hebe held Justin's hand and took him out to the garden. She actually didn't want him to stay at the hospital. She didn't think it was a good place for kids but she couldn't get discharged right now with her condition so she had to wrong her son who couldn't stay without her.

In the garden, she saw a couple of patients who their own kids coming over to see them. Those kids were so lively. Laughing and playing around. So full of life.

Then she looked at her son who was holding her hand and looked completely disinterested in everything around him. He hardly had interests. He only liked being with her or playing with his Rubik cubes. His interests were very few and even she couldn't understand them most of the time.

Well, her son was different. It was established a long time ago. So, there was no point in thing about all this now. No matter what, he was all he had and he was all his life. He was the reason she forgot all about Shui Xian. She never thought she'd be able to let him go but she did it when Justin came into her life so suddenly.

She had been avoiding running into Shui Xian and Raelle since the time she got her memories but she knew she couldn't hide forever. Besides, what could she do at this point? What's done was done already. It's not like she did anything on purpose.

More than embarrassment, she was avoiding them because she found herself really pathetic. Her pathetic act before them was the reason she didn't want to see them. But the things you try to run from always catch up to you eventually.

As she looked up and found Shui Xian and Raelle strolling around hand in hand, she also realized how she really couldn't run from them. Especially from Shui Xian. Back then, she ran because she was afraid he'd ask her why she wanted a divorce. But after coming back, the way she kept running into them made her realize that she really had nowhere to run. There was no point in running. It was tiring anyway.

Perhaps, it was time to face some things.

"Pretty!"

Tang Hebe snapped out of her thoughts when she heard the voice of her son and looked down and him to ask, "What did you say, baby?"

Little Justin pointed somewhere and said, "Pretty."

Tang Hebe followed the direction of his little finger and found Raelle. She looked at her face for a moment before smiling, "Hmm... She is really pretty."

Once upon a time, she wouldn't have believed that she'd say that Raelle was really beautiful. But the truth was, she had always been beautiful. It was her own inferiority complex that kept her from accepting the truth. But once she did accept it, things became a lot easier in life.
