Looking at the expectant gaze fixed on her, Yan Xinxin felt a stir in her heart and slowly stood up.
"Niki, leave this to me, you can go ahead with your work."
"Alright."
Niki responded and turned around, while the woman standing at the door beamed upon hearing this.
"Come in and sit."
Yan Xinxin spoke as she walked to the bar and poured a glass of water.
Ning Zitong happily walked in upon hearing this and placed the bag she was carrying onto the coffee table.
"Yuan, no need to pour mommy a glass of water, I’ll be leaving soon. I just swung by to see you on my way."
As she spoke, she pointed to the bag.
"Mommy just left home and had Sister Xia teach me to make your favorite childhood treat, the brown sugar glutinous cake. Though my skills aren’t as good as your Aunt Xia’s, I’ll keep trying to improve!"
She smiled softly, her eyes full of loving expectation as she looked at Yan Xinxin.
"Yuan, you are now a mother of four babies, don’t work too hard, mommy... mommy will feel sorry for you."
Feel sorry.
These words reached Yan Xinxin’s ears.
Her heart seemed pricked by a fine needle, wanting to cry but feeling more like laughing.
Yan Xinxin placed the teacup on the coffee table.
"Does Mrs. Mu have any other matters?"
Hearing Yan Xinxin’s cold tone, Ning Zitong’s heart sank further and further.
But she knew she could only blame herself.
There are causes and effects in everything; she was merely reaping what she’d sown.
"The brown sugar glutinous cake is still warm, remember to eat it. I won’t disturb you any longer, I’m heading to the hospital to see your brother now."
Ning Zitong dared not ask for Yan Xinxin’s forgiveness, knowing she had no right.
Watching Ning Zitong’s desolate retreating figure, Yan Xinxin’s heart ached, and she suddenly thought of Mu Shaoqian’s current condition.
"Yuan!"
Just a few steps away, Ning Zitong suddenly turned back hurriedly and walked up to Yan Xinxin, grabbing her hand tightly and refusing to let go.
"Yuan, mommy knows mommy and your brother have hurt you too much, but, but you must believe, our intentions were all for you, for our little princess!"
She stressed earnestly, her reddened eyes looking at Yan Xinxin’s emotionless, delicate face.
"Yuan, mommy knows you’ve lost your memory and can’t recall how good your brother was to you as a child, but mommy can swear to the heavens, he really loved and cherished you the most, his sister! Now he regrets every day, feeling guilty and in pain, wishing he could hear you call him brother once more, but it might never be possible again..."
Hearing this, Yan Xinxin’s heart skipped a beat.
"Why do you say that? Has his condition worsened?"
"Yes."
Ning Zitong nodded tremulously, wiping away a tear with her hand.
"For more than half a month, I don’t know why his health indicators have plummeted. If we can’t find a matching bone marrow soon, Shaoqian’s life will almost be over..."
At this point, Ning Zitong bowed her head and began to sob.
"Is it because of the wrongs I did in a past life, that in this life retribution has to fall upon my two children, first with you as a child, and now it’s your brother’s turn..."
Torn with heartache, Ning Zitong, eyes misted with tears, was handed a tissue, given to her by Yan Xinxin.
"Please tell him for me, I don’t hate him, I forgive him. Let him stay optimistic and focus on getting better."
"Yuan..."
Ning Zitong felt even more guilty.
"Yuan, mommy is really sorry to you..."
She apologized again and again, finally wiping her tears as she turned hurriedly to leave.
She had no courage left to face Yan Xinxin.
Watching Ning Zitong’s fleeing figure, Yan Xinxin lowered her gaze to the bag left on the coffee table, but what resonated more were her words.
Yan Xinxin picked up her phone and dialed a number. A few seconds later, the call was answered.
"Doctor Qin? This is Yan Xinxin, who came for a bone marrow matching test last time—has the result not come back yet... What?"
