“Mommy, what’s wrong?”
The two children were awoken by her scream. Rubbing their eyes with their small hands, they looked at her.
Pei Ge emerged from the bone-deep fear gripping her heart when she heard her kids’ voices.
“It’s nothing! Mommy just had a nightmare.”
Lowering her head, she pecked the top of their heads as she reassured them.
The two did not stop there, though. With wide eyes, they questioned her curiously and worriedly.
“What kind of nightmare did you have?”
“Yes. What did you dream about?”
The children’s questions made her frown.
That’s right. What kind of nightmare did I just…
Why can’t I remember it?
Her brows drew together as her eyes became filled with confusion.
She seemed to have dreamed of being locked up inside a pitch-black room where she could not even see her hands.
Then…
‘This d*mn girl, I think she’s courting death!’
Amid it all, a blurry face entered her sight—
“Mommy?”
The two saw her falling into a daze and reached out to tug at her sleeves.
“Hm?”
She retracted her thoughts from those confusing memories.
“Don’t think about it if it’s very scary!” Her kids consoled her.
“Okay.”
The cuteness of both made her smile happily as she brought them into her embrace.
“I won’t think about it anymore! Can I think about my precious babies, instead?”
“Mhm, mhm, mhm! You can only think about us!”
The last bit of fear in her heart dissipated as she took in her children’s smiles.
However, from time to time, she would still recall… that blurry face.
She… seemed to even hear a young girl’s voice saying, ‘It’s her who let that boy out! She even told him to call the police and save her!’
“Mommy, why hasn’t uncle visited us for so long?”
The two children blinked their eyes at her. Although Ran Ran was the one who had asked this question, it was clear that An An was missing Ji Ziming, too.
As a result of her change in attitude, she no longer stopped her children from getting close to the man.
“Your uncle is busy right now. He’ll come visit you guys after he’s done with work!”
While speaking, her lips involuntarily curled into a slight smile.
When he shows up next time, it may even be a reunion for our family of four.
“Is that so? Then, why hasn’t little brother come over to play in our house, too? We both miss him so much!”
The girl started asking about Ji Chi, too.
“Are you talking about Baby? Once your uncle is done with his work, he’ll be sure to bring him along to play with you guys.”
After reassuring her two children, she then got out of bed to prepare breakfast.
She only got in her car and made her way to the office after she had settled the two children down.
However, when she reached the office, a person whom she did not want to see at all was there.
