Chapter 1608 Awakening

Xia Lan reached out and took her daughter's hand, letting her sit beside her, and said softly, "Xiao Xi, Mom will be honest with you. I was indeed frightened at home yesterday. I've lived for more than half a lifetime, and I've never had a gun pointed at my head before. But when the police came later, everything was fine."
