Chapter 153 Mother

• Shen Beiyi could hear low sobs within the room, which made her heart shiver at the sound of it. “Xiaoxi.” She stood by Ning Xiaoxi’s bed, all the while feeling sorry for him when she saw him sobbing in bed.
• “Mommy Beiyi...” Ning Xiaoxi sat up, then latched himself onto her legs as soon as he heard her voice. “I miss my mom. Why does everybody have a mother, but not me?” The more he talked about it, the more he cried; her jeans were soaked by his tears, which felt warm to the touch at first, but gradually turned cold as time went by.
• She held him in her embrace silently, allowing him to bawl as he needed while she sat by the edge of the bed. She pursed her lips when his sobs had gradually diminished, then tucked his head closer to her and gave a shake of her head. “Xiaoxi, your mother must have had her reasons to not search for you after all these years.”
