Chapter 144 – Her Ray Of Hope.
At Chiboa's First People Hospital,
The trio took the elevator to get on the 24th floor of the hospital building. The little girl's eyes were all concerned, fixed at her mother's face as if she was trying to find something important on it. Her head was getting strained looking all up at her mother but she was not giving any care to it.
Looking at her getting so much stress over her mother's health, Feng Shufen wanted to lift the girl up in his arms. But the little girl politely denied his help, not letting her eyes get distracted from her Mama's face even for a second.
"Mama, are you really fine now? Is it still hurting? Are you in pain?" The little girl asked for the twelfth time from the moment she came to know that last night her mother had fallen sick in the bed.
Li Xue smiled and shook her head, trying to calm her baby's concern for her but nothing was working. "Of course, sweetie! Mama is all fine. If I were sick, then how would I come to pick you up from the school? I am all fine now and there is no pain." She said affirming her daughter well.
But her little one was still not convinced. Her fair face was still having lines of worry on it showing the little ache of her heart that she has reserved only for her mother. Tugging on her mother's arms lightly, she asked Li Xue to bend down on her knees so that she could give a proper check to her once.
Seeing her daughter getting overly concerned over her health, Li Xue could not help but oblige to her orders. Bending on her knees, she let her do whatever she wanted. Caressing her Mama's delicate cheeks lightly, she said in a slight interrogative tone, "Mama, you know that I am your light of hope, right? You only said it before, now you can't deny it".
"Yes, baby! I can't deny it even if I want. You are my ray of hope without any doubt" The woman assured, nodding her head and pinching her little's soft cheeks lightly.
"Mama, please don't distract me. Let me focus first on what is important" Little Li Wei said giving a serious pout to her mother. Then caressing the faded light bruise on her mother's lips with her small fingers, she asked again, "Does this one still hurt? You can tell me, Mama. I might look small to you but I am both your angel and the ray of hope, so I can easily kiss away the pain for you. And after that, it won't hurt you anymore".
As Li Wei completed her words, she bent forward and placed a light peck on her mother's cheek and then at the side of the bruise carefully, in fear to not hurt her mother in any way. At her such caring and heartfelt gesture, Li Xue's eyes welled up in no time.
Her little princess's words were cent per cent true, without any ounce of doubt in it. Her one smile was enough to take away all her pains and stress of ages while her kiss was just magic. And right at this moment too, her soft, tender kiss easily took away the pain she was deliberately given by her once known parents and friend.
She wanted to laugh out the laughter of self-mockery. The wounds of contempt that were given to her by her own parents were kissed away by her daughter with all love and care. What an irony!
Sensing her tears flooding out, she wrapped her arms tightly around her daughter, hugging her close and tight to her heart. "Thanks, baby! Thank you for everything! You really kissed away all my pains. Now I am all fine. You don't need to worry, sweetie!"
Though the little girl was small and less knowledgeable to understand the elder's problems she was all experienced about her mother. She knows her mother a little too well to be aware of all her moods and response. She knows all well the meanings behind her mother's gazes, hugs and kisses.
At this moment too, maybe she has not known what was paining her Mama but still, she has not ignored the slight shiver her mother's body was given when she was hugging her tight and also the breath getting choked slightly in between her mother's light internal sobs.
Patting her mother's back lightly she cooed her best, the same way Li Xue always did to her. "Don't worry Mama, you always have me by your side, also Handsome Daddy Angel" she said, giving a pause. "ahh I forgot, there is also Aunt Yi Lan and also Uncle Cutiee. We have so many now. You don't need to worry".
Hearing her daughter pacifying words, Li Xue was no more able to control her laughter. This devilic-angel really has her ways to fight her own challenges.
Feng Shufen, who has also witnessed this scene, did not show any right to say in this. This was a moment between a mother and daughter, and he just doesn't want to ruin it. About the things that have brought pain and tears to Li Xue will be taken care of without any doubt and that too in his ways and style.
Soon the elevator dinged open at the floor they had intended to come. "Mama, we are here. Let's go and meet the doctor uncle first. And if he says that you need an injection, don't be fearful about it. I will ask him if we could replace that injection with some medicine. Okay? Don't worry, you have me by your side to take care of you and stand for you, like always".
The little girl said patting her chest lightly in assurance and asking her mother to believe in her. Li Xue smiled at her little adult daughter and nodded. "Sure I have you and I don't have anything to fear about. Now let me get up so that we don't make the doctor uncle inside, wait for us".
Saying her words, Li Xue stood up and gave a soft look to Feng Shufen. Though the gaze was soft and plain, it was conveying a lot of words and stories behind it. Without saying any word, they nodded to each other and made their way out.
