The room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop, as if time had frozen at this moment. Xiao Ning lay quietly on the bed, her upper body naked, and the thick gauze on her abdomen was particularly eye-catching. The originally snow-white gauze had now been stained with blood and turned into a heart-pounding black and red color, which was shocking.
Not long ago, Xiao Ning was ruthlessly stabbed in the abdomen by Chu Qian. However, even after suffering such a severe injury, he still gritted his teeth and hugged her delicate body with all his strength.
With Xiao Ning's persuasion, he finally succeeded in helping Chu Qian break free from the terrible bondage of the Heart-Eating Curse. However, this fierce struggle eventually exhausted his last bit of strength, and he fell into a coma due to excessive blood loss.
Beside the bed, Chu Qian had already been crying inconsolably. After she regained consciousness, Rong Rouxue asked Honghong to completely remove the remaining Heart-Eating Curse in her body.
Chu Qian looked at the motionless Xiao Ning, tears pouring out like a flood, washing her beautiful face red. Her trembling hands tightly held Xiao Ning's gradually cold little hands, and she kept muttering to herself:
"I'm sorry, Ning'er, mother is sorry..." Every word was filled with endless regret and pain.
The people standing by also could not hide their inner grief. They watched the scene in front of them silently, feeling extremely heavy-hearted. Especially Rong Rouxue, she stared with eyes wide open, her face full of astonishment. She never thought that Xiao Ning would rush forward to protect her without hesitation and regardless of his own safety.
"Brat, doesn't he know that with my strength, even if Chu Qian risked her life and attacked with all her might, she wouldn't be able to hurt me at all? What a stupid idiot!"
You Rong Rouxue murmured softly. Although her tone contained a hint of anger, her heart was filled with an unprecedented feeling of emotion.
Xiao Ning's determination and selflessness were deeply imprinted in her heart, making her feel that this seemingly reckless boy was so cute.
After a long while, Xiao Ning's eyes twitched slowly as if he had woken up from a deep sleep. At the same time, Chu Qian's right hand, which had been tightly held by her, also trembled slightly like a candle in the wind.
Chu Qian immediately noticed this extremely subtle movement, she raised her head abruptly, and looked at Xiao Ning anxiously. Xiao Ning's originally calm face was now struggling, as if he was fighting against some invisible force; and his eyes were trembling slightly like a frightened deer.
Chu Qian was extremely anxious. She quickly came forward and stretched out her hand to gently touch Xiao Ning's face. Her voice was filled with anxiety and worry:
"Ning'er! Open your eyes quickly! Look at mother!"
Perhaps he felt his mother's affectionate call, or perhaps it was God's will, Xiao Ning, who had his eyes tightly closed, finally slowly lifted his heavy eyelids. When he opened his eyes with difficulty, what he saw was Chu Qian's tearful and distressing face.
He used up the last bit of strength in his body, slowly raised his arm, and stretched it towards Chu Qian's cheek. The cold, thin hand, with endless attachment to his mother, gently fell on Chu Qian's face. Then, he said in a weak voice that was almost inaudible:
"Mom, why are you crying? Don't cry, I will be sad..."
Chu Qian felt her son's gentle touch, and the long-stretched string in her heart broke instantly. She could no longer suppress the surging emotions in her heart, and she rushed forward, hugged Xiao Ning tightly, and cried out in tears:
"Ning'er, my Ning'er!"
Xiao Ning patted her back and said gently.
"It's okay, mother, it's okay..."
Night fell quietly, and the moonlight sprinkled in the courtyard like water. Xiao Ding dragged his legs, which seemed to be weighed down by a heavy burden, and walked towards Xiao Ning's room step by step. When he gently pushed open the door, the scene in front of him made him stop.
Chu Qian was sitting quietly beside the bed, holding a bowl of steaming food in her hand, and was feeding it to Xiao Ning, who was lying on the bed, spoonful by spoonful. Xiao Ning seemed a little reserved. He raised one hand and tried to take the bowl from Chu Qian, and said softly:
"Mom, don't bother me. I can eat by myself."
However, Chu Qian tightly grasped the hand that Xiao Ning extended, and reprimanded with a hint of anger: "Oh! Child, why are you so disobedient? Your body has not fully recovered yet, so you must not move around. Just let your mother feed you obediently! Come on, open your mouth!" As she said that, she scooped up another spoonful of food and brought it to Xiao Ning's mouth.
Xiao Ning curled his lips helplessly, but still opened his mouth obediently. At this moment, he caught a glimpse of Xiao Ding walking into the room from the corner of his eye, and immediately a gentle smile appeared on his face, and he called out affectionately: "Father, you are here!"
Xiao Ding slowly walked to the bedside, his eyes fell on the thick gauze wrapped around Xiao Ning's abdomen, and an indescribable sadness and self-blame suddenly surged in his heart.
He stretched out his shaking hands and gently patted Xiao Ning's shoulders, his voice full of deep guilt: "I'm sorry, Ning'er. It's all Daddy's fault. I let you take on the responsibility of taking care of your mother alone. Daddy is so ashamed, I'm really sorry..."
Xiao Ning shook his head and said with a smile:
"It's okay, father. I don't feel it's hard, I just sincerely hope that you can have a good talk with mother. After all, you have been in love with each other for so many years. Is there any misunderstanding or prejudice that can't be talked about openly?"
Xiao Ding was slightly shocked when he heard Xiao Ning's sincere words. He slowly turned his gaze to Chu Qian, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes.
