Chapter 452: Chapter 452: I Only Listen to My Mother’s Words

Lin Xinlan did not decline and agreed.

Carrying her child out of the hospital, Xiaocong stretched out his small, soft hand, groping to cradle her face, and comforted her in a soft voice like a little adult.

"Mom, don’t be sad, Grandpa Doctor said Xiaocong’s eyes will get better. Don’t worry too much."

Lin Xinlan stopped in her tracks, looking at him with mixed feelings.

"Does Xiaocong mind that he can’t see with his eyes?" she decided to dispel his worries. If he kept worrying every day like this, he would surely develop psychological issues.

It was best to change his mindset while he was still young.

Xiaocong cast his gaze downward, his small hands fidgeting, and after stammering for a while, he asked in a low voice, "Would Mom mind?"

"Not at all!" Lin Xinlan rejected the notion outright.

She sat down with her child on a bench, cupping his face with her hands, seriously and earnestly, "Xiaocong, do you know, there are many children in this world who are cuter than you, more sensible than you, better behaved than you, healthier than you. But Mom doesn’t love them. She loves only you, no matter whether your eyes can see or not, no matter how naughty you are, no matter how big the mistake you make. You are always Mom’s precious, and Mom will always love you, and she will never despise you or hate you. Do you understand?"

Xiaocong opened his eyes wide in surprise, his little face blank, not knowing how to react.

Lin Xinlan’s words were too shocking for him. He had never heard his mother say these things before, and no one else had ever told him either.

He froze, his small face turning bright red with embarrassment.

"Mom really wouldn’t stop wanting me because Xiaocong can’t see?" he asked uncertainly.

"Who told you that if you can’t see, Mom wouldn’t want you?" she believed he must have heard something, otherwise, with his innocent nature, he would never have thought of this.

Xiaocong immediately pouted, saying unhappily, "It was some kids next door. They said Xiaocong is blind, so he has no father, and even his mother doesn’t want him!"

Lin Xinlan’s face suddenly darkened. Those children had gone too far, how could they say such things about her child!

But she was an adult and naturally wouldn’t take the children’s words to heart.

She was just very distressed for her child; hearing those words, he must have been very hurt and sad. On the days when she wasn’t at home, he must have worried every day if she truly didn’t want him anymore and wouldn’t return.

No wonder he was so well-behaved and sensible, treating her every word like a royal command, never making her angry. He was afraid that she wouldn’t want him anymore.

Thinking of this, Lin Xinlan felt very sad, her heart aching as if it were being torn apart, making it hard for her to breathe.

Feeling upset, her tone of voice carried a bit of a low and suppressed demeanor, "So you believed what they said?"

Xiaocong, hearing the change in her tone, thought she was angry and quickly wrapped his arms around her neck, trying to appease her by rubbing his small face against her neck, "Don’t be angry Mom, Xiaocong won’t listen to them anymore. I’ll only listen to what Mom says. Whatever Mom says is right!"

"What if they say that to you again?"

He tilted his head and thought for a moment, then clenched his small fist, saying determinedly, "I’ll tell them that I have a dad, and Mom’s favorite person is me, and she won’t stop wanting me!"

Lin Xinlan showed a big smile and kissed him hard.

"Good boy, that’s exactly what you should say."

Xiaocong giggled, his smile innocent and bright.
