Chapter 277: Chapter 278: Starting a New Life 6

The woman sat down next to her with the child in her arms, "Yes. She’s only two and a half years old and needs to be watched every day, which is very worrisome. I even quit my job to take care of her."

"You could hire a nanny to take care of her," Mo Ran suggested.

"That won’t do, nannies are unreliable. Besides, this child is impaired—her mind is a bit dull. If someone else took care of her, she probably wouldn’t even recognize her own parents."

"What’s wrong with her?" Mo Ran felt very surprised. The child looked perfectly normal, so how could she be impaired?

The woman gave a wry smile and said, "When I was pregnant with her, her father and I had a fight. Out of anger, I took sleeping pills to try to commit suicide. I didn’t die, and the baby was still there. But the doctors told us that the child might be different from other children when she was born and advised us to have an abortion and not to keep her. Her father and I were both very upset, but we insisted on having her. Even if she’s impaired, we want her. No matter what, she’s a life, and she’s our child..."

After listening to her, Mo Ran fell silent for a moment before asking, "Do you regret it now?"

The woman shook her head, her face wearing a smile of happiness, "I have never regretted it. I used to worry that I might. But when the child was born and I saw how lovely she was, I was too busy feeling joy to have any regrets. Seeing how young you are, you don’t have children, do you?"

"...No." Mo Ran’s eyes flickered as she shook her head.

"You don’t have children now, but when you do, you will understand how I feel. All mothers in the world are the same, they will always love their children dearly. Maybe when you’re single, you think having children is a burden. But once you actually have them, you will thank heaven for this precious gift."

A shiver ran through Mo Ran’s heart, and her eyes suddenly filled with tears.

She wasn’t a good mother...

The woman, while playing with Xixi in her arms, smiled and said, "Xixi, the lady just helped you, say thank you to the lady."

Mo Ran looked over, seeing the little girl nestled in her mother’s arms, looking fragile and delicate.

"Say thank you to the lady, you know?"

Xixi looked at Mo Ran, opened her mouth, and said a coarse ’thank you’.

Hearing her immature voice, Mo Ran’s heart instantly softened. Such lovely lives—this world probably wouldn’t want to hurt them at all.
