Chapter 1374: That’s when everything begun.
Li Xue turned to look at Feng Shufen and the latter felt the accusation in her gaze. He was waiting to hear her ask him about it, but Li Xue never asked.Instead, she turned to look back at the doctors and asked them. “Trauma? With what? She is such a small kid. What could scare her so much?”
The doctors avoided her gaze. “Madam, little young miss saw the maid lying in the puddle of blood and got like this. She has got a fear of the sight of blood and thunderstorms. So, the puddle of blood has triggered her condition like this. But you don’t have to worry, she will get well soon. We have given her the best medicines.”
He said and feeling her heartache, Li Xue turned to look at the little one. Although given the sight of WeiWei’s pale face, she didn’t want to believe the doctor, still at the moment, she wanted nothing but to see her getting better.
So, in the end, she nodded while moving her hands to caress the little one’s head. The moment she touched her, she seemed to feel like her trembles were getting eased. She smiled slightly in relief but the next moment, a doctor came to politely interrupt.
“Madam, you have to excuse us for a moment. There is one more injection.”
Li Xue looked up at him. Her gaze matched his and she could clearly see him terrified. She never wanted to make people fear her, especially the doctors who are responsible for saving lives. So, feeling guilty conscience, she didn’t scare him more and plainly nodded to him.
She was ready to get up and move away for some time, but the moment she moved, WeiWei’s trembles that had almost seized began again and her little brows jutted together in fear.
Seeing her like that, Li Xue panicked. At once pushing the doctor aside, she rushed to hold her little one in her arms and asked in a furious tone, “Didn’t you say that you have given her the best medicines? What is happening to her?”
Even Feng Shufen was taken aback. Pacing at once, he reached to the side of Li Xue and shot a glare at the doctor, who quickly explained in a stutter.
“M-Madam, there is nothing wrong with a little young miss. It’s just about the warmth. When you were near her, she felt comfortable. So, her trembling body relaxed and the moment you stood up to leave, her subconscious mind felt your movement and she panicked. She will be better once she feels you back beside herself.”
He said, and Li Xue quickly brought WeiWei up on her lap before hugging her close to herself. And as the doctor said, the moment WeiWei felt her embrace again, her trembling body relaxed.
Wrapping her arms around her mother, WeiWei held her like a koala hugging the tree, while resting her head on her shoulders. “Mama, please don’t leave WeiWei now. WeiWei misses you.”
Li Xue’s heart melted and her hands in return went to get wrapped around her before slowly patting her back. “It’s okay, sweetie. Don’t worry, Mama is here and Mama is not going to leave you anywhere.”
Without her realization, tears got in the corner of her eyes. Then looking up at the doctor, she said, “Give her the injection like this only. I am not going to leave her again.” She said and wiping the sweat from his forehead, the doctor nodded before gesturing to the nurse to bring the injection.
Once done, they all looked at Feng Shufen and then bowing their heads in courtesy, they said, “President Feng, we have given her all the medication. She will get all well by morning. As for the night, we will be there to look if something happens.” They said and seeing Feng Shufen nod, they left, only to be on standby outside the room.
After they left, Feng Shufen turned to look back at Li Xue who was holding WeiWei in her arms as if her life depended on her.
“Let me hold her. You will get tired.” He said and Li Xue shook her head.
“It’s okay. I am fine. I will hold her. You can go and do your job.” She said and Feng Shufen’s brows furrowed at her words that clearly sounded detached.
“I have no job to do. I will stay with you.” He said, and Li Xue’s eyes turned up to glare at him.
“Don’t test me, Shufen. I might not be able to step back every time and will force you to reveal the secrets that you don’t want to reveal to me.”
Feng Shufen understood what she meant, but he still seemed to have no plans of leaving the room. “I have never kept any secret from you.”
He said, and Li Xue raised her brows at him and couldn’t help but smile. Before he could even react to her smile, she spoke, trapping him with her words.
“If that’s so, tell me how did she get such terrible trauma at such a young age? I am sure it must not be something simple. So, tell me what it was about. What happened to her?”
Trauma could never be simple. Having one traumatic fear alone was severe and here the little being in her arms had two. Even believing that she would get fine the next day, she can’t let the matter slide. She wanted to know what traumatic thing had happened to scare the little innocent soul like that.
“Was it her real mother? What happened to her? Where is she? If the little one needs her so much, why can’t she be here with her? Does she really have to torture her life like that?”
Li Xue was agitated and that was simply too evident in her voice. When Feng Shufen saw into her burning eyes, he shook his head and said, “It’s for you. She is like this for you. She got scared when she lost you and that’s when everything began.”
