Chapter 210 - Complete Madness

It turned out that some memories had only been sealed up. She had never forgotten the sorry state, despair, pain, and struggle in her memories. To her, they had originally been just blurry scenes—just an image.

Now, they had become a bloody scene. Like a movie, they clearly and accurately reflected all the suffering she had gone through during that period.

She had gotten pregnant before getting married and suffered through endless disdain and humiliation in that town. She had been expelled from school, mocked by her classmates, and criticized by the neighbors.

She was a girl who had just reached adulthood and had endured everything. She had despaired and committed suicide. Her heart had died.

If her foster mother had not comforted her gently, she would have died ten thousand times.

Initially, she had been unable to understand why the original Ling Sheng would be so heartless to Xiaoqi. Now, she knew that real suffering could really drive one crazy.

A gentle hand suddenly covered her face. Ling Sheng frowned when she saw the child looking at her with heartache. He wiped her tears and asked carefully, “Mommy, why are you crying? Did Grandpa scold you again?”

Ling Sheng only felt the warmth of the pair of small hands on her heart, and her cold and desperate heart warmed up a little. She shook her head and hugged the child. “No, Mommy just missed you.”

“Xiaoqi missed Mommy too. He missed her so much that his bones hurt.” Xiaoqi hugged her tightly and rubbed against her affectionately. “Mommy, can you feel it?”

“Who taught you that?” Ling Sheng could not help but laugh through her tears. The small body in her embrace was soft and carried a nice milky fragrance as it pulled her up from the bottomless abyss.

“Xiaoqi was watching a television drama with great-grandmother. A person in the drama said that.” Xiaoqi’s soft voice was hoarse, as though he had just woken up.

Ling Sheng smiled and hugged him tightly before leaning forward to kiss the child’s forehead. “Mommy also missed you so much that her bones hurt.”

This was her baby. No matter what had happened in the past, he would always be her baby in the future.

The mother and son continued whispering, and Ling Sheng fell asleep after they exchanged a few words. Xiaoqi looked up at his mother, bit his lips, and his eyes reddened. Tears streamed down his face.

Did Mommy not want him anymore?

Once, his mother had taken him to stay at a hotel. When they had fallen asleep at night, his mother had hugged him and cried for a long time.

When he had woken up the next day, he had realized that his mother was missing. The nice uncles and aunties at the hotel had helped him call the police. He had stayed at the police station for two days before the police had brought his mother over.

Xiaoqi’s eyes widened. This time, he did not want to fall asleep. If he kept looking at Mommy, she would not leave!

Xiaoqi had a good idea. He did not want to fall asleep. He wanted to look at his mother and prevent her from leaving. However, he could not resist the drowsiness and he fell asleep in the end.

The next morning, Ling Sheng was in the washroom when she heard Xiaoqi cry miserably. He was shouting for his mother.

Upon seeing the child rush out like a calf, Su Xiyin took a look around as she stood in the living room. Then, the child burst into tears. “Great-grandmother, Mommy’s gone. Mommy doesn’t want Xiaoqi anymore.”

The child’s cries were loud and powerful, waking Huo Ci and Huo Xiao up as a result. They ran out to see what was going on.

“My baby, don’t cry. Did you have a nightmare? Tell great-grandmother.” Su Xiyin’s heart ached immensely as she coaxed him. “Isn’t your mommy sleeping? Isn’t she with you? Mommy won’t abandon you, Xiaoqi.”

“No… Mommy is not here…” Xiaoqi cried until he was out of breath. He was sad and desperate. “Mommy doesn’t want me anymore. Great-grandmother, is Xiaoqi annoying? Is that why Mommy abandoned me? “
