Chapter 241: Chapter 239: Giving You a Warm Embrace 2

Little Xixi thought vaguely, if mom were alive, she would also be happy.

Her eyelids grew heavier, and Little Xixi sank into darkness—

...

In the end, the one who survived was Little Xixi.

She sat dazedly on the hospital bed, the smell of disinfectant strong in her nose, her delicate pale face wrapped with a thick layer of gauze around her eyes.

The nurse said, she had a head injury from the car accident and was temporarily blind, and she told her not to be afraid, everything would be alright.

Little Xixi asked her, "Where’s mom?"

The nurse seemed to sigh, pityingly stroked her head, and left.

Terrified, Little Xixi started crying, her sobs earth-shattering.

Finally, Ning Jingshen came.

Aged significantly from the death of his beloved wife, his eyes red and swollen, he looked at his heartbroken crying daughter on the bed, a surge of misplaced anger rising, he snapped, "Stop crying! All you know is to cry! Shut your mouth!"

Startled, Little Xixi trembled slightly, tentatively reaching out her hands, "Daddy, daddy... where’s mom? Where is she?"

Couldn’t he just hug her... She couldn’t see anything, she couldn’t find her mom, she was so very scared... so scared...

Ning Jingshen yelled hysterically, "What use is your crying! Your mom is dead! She’s already dead! You have no mother now!"

As if struck by lightning, Little Xixi froze, maintaining her "want a hug" pose, her spirit dimming by the moment.

"Why aren’t you crying now?" Ning Jingshen lost control of his emotions, "It’s all your fault, don’t you know! If not for your craving for a sundae, why would I have left the car? Without you, your mom wouldn’t have died!"

Tears soaked the gauze, tracing down her face. Being so young, Little Xixi couldn’t help but begin to cry again.

"Daddy... I want mommy... I’m scared, please don’t scare me..."

She too wished with all her heart that her mom could live, even if it meant dying herself.

Why, why did she have to lose her mother?

That kind, gentle woman should be alive.

Nearly cruelly, Ning Jingshen spoke, "If you dare cry aloud again, I will abandon you too!"

The little girl curled up tightly, clenching the corner of her blanket, quelling her sobs in the overwhelming darkness.

Ning Jingshen was persuaded to leave, and Little Xixi buried herself under the blankets, the room silent, with only the continuous rise and fall of the quilt, proof of her existence...

No sound must be made...

Otherwise... even daddy wouldn’t want her...

Sometimes, those who die are liberated, but those who live on endure the true torment.

...

"Erxi, wake up! Wake up quickly!" Her shoulder being violently shaken, Ning Xixi woke from a nightmare, her eyelashes fluttering like butterfly wings, visibly wet with tears, her gaze blank and unfocused.

Her fingers, lacking any sense of security, clutched at the other’s shirt.

Feeling her fear, Ji Yebai’s voice softened, gently comforting her, "Don’t be afraid, I am here, the nightmare is over, it’s already over."

No, the nightmare won’t end.

This is the everlasting nightmare of her life.

Ning Xixi could barely see who was in front of her, she murmured dully, "Can... can you hold me for a moment?"

Could he give her just a tiny bit of warmth?

Just a little, please?
