Love in the Midst of Mistaken Identities

At the sound of footsteps, Rainy’s head turned back sharply. She struggled in the nurse’s arms and jumped down. She recognized that sound. It was her mother.

The sound of her mother’s footsteps…

It was the sound of her mother’s footsteps.

“Mommy.”

Her small feet raced forward with one hand tightly around her doll.

Xia Ruoxin walked over quickly. She was back late, and she didn’t know if Rainy was asleep. It had been a long time since she saw Rainy. She was anxious, and she was walking so fast that she was almost running.

“Mommy…” A soft voice called out. Xia Ruoxin started running. It was Rainy, her daughter.

An adult and a small child approached each other…

Until the small frame hugged Xia Ruoxin’s thighs and Rainy rubbed her face against them.

“Mommy, carry.” She reached out with her small hands, and there was obvious grievance in her eyes. She was afraid that Xia Ruoxin would leave, and no one would want her. A small child like her did not have much security in her in the first place.

Xia Ruoxin bent down and scooped her daughter up. Then she turned around and smiled apologetically at the nurse. “I’m sorry to have caused you trouble. My child is timid.” From the looks of it, Rainy had caused them to worry.

“Oh, it’s fine. Rainy had been obedient, and all of us like her.” The nurse gave her a friendly smile and reached out to touch Rainy’s soft hair gently. This child was so mature, and that made everyone fell in love with her. With her extraordinary good looks, a mouth as sweet as honey, and good manners had made her a superstar in the hospital in a short span of just a few days.

“I like Auntie, too. She will bring me yummy snacks.” A bashful look appeared in the child’s face, her well-mannered voice as sweet as the marshmallows. She nestled herself in her mother’s arms and looked satisfied at rubbing her face against her mother’s shoulder. Her mother was the best. She was a superhero who could do anything.

Xia Ruoxin hugged her daughter closely while the nurse had obviously been thoroughly bribed by the little one. Look, she had learned to give compliments to others.

The adult was clearly flattered.

Xia Ruoxin patted her daughter’s shoulder gently, but she saw her daughter rubbing her eyes constantly. Poor child. She was sleepy.

She held her daughter tight and walked in. Then, she laid her on the hospital bed carefully, but her little hand was still holding onto her clothes tightly.

Xia Ruoxin’s heart ached. She was worried she would leave her again.

“Rainy, don’t be afraid. Mommy will be here tomorrow to keep you company. I won’t leave you again.” She kissed her daughter’s slightly cold cheek and rested her hand on her face to warm her up. In that way, she wouldn’t feel so cold.

She covered her daughter with a blanket and tucked her tiny hands inside. As she looked at her daughter sleeping peacefully, she felt contented.

“Rainy, don’t worry. Mommy will definitely save you. Even if I have to use everything I have. Even if I have to exchange it with my life. Mommy will never let you leave.”

She put her hand against her face and felt the moisture on her fingertips. “Rainy, your mother is not a strong mother. Do you know that? Actually, you are so much braver than your mother. That’s why you must hang in there and not leave Mommy. You are the only one I have.”
