It was in this strange scene that Felicia, who is carrying porridge for Xiaobai, came to see when she entered the room.
This unexplainable sight, in her eyes, turned into the scene where two new freshly baked siblings communicate with each other, their lovely faces turned towards the ceiling as they wondered about life's greatest miracle. I have to say, this mother have strange circuits and rich imagination.
Well, she somehow managed to slide past at the truth.
Felicia knock at the door to catch their attention. The two children simultaneously turn their heads to look at her, their eyes watery and cute, with Lili containing innocence and Xiaobai's cold.
But with his slightly confused expression, it somehow made him even more adorable his prestige is broken. Felicia almost turn around pressing her heart. She can't take it, these two are just so beautiful and adorable, especially when their actions concise with each other,double kill!
Felicia slightly cleared her throat, smiling gently as she spoke.
"Xiaobai right? Are you hungry? I have here some porridge for you. You have to eat only light foods for now so you can recover faster from your injury." She said as she took out a small foldable table, laid it across Xiaobai, and put down the porridge.
Xiaobai observes Felicia. Judging from her features, she is obviously of western ancestry, her hair a gorgeous shade of auburn,Her eyes cerulean blue. She is a very beautiful woman .
"Mama, I'm hungry, I want to eat too." Lili grab the corner of her mother's dress, rubbing her stomach to show her hunger,her expression pitiful .
"Okay, okay, I will feed you soon, come here." Felicia carried her daughter, turn to Xiaobai and told him."I will come back right soon after I settled this little brat here. Eat well okay? "Felicia urged.
Xiaobai nodded,and after a pause, he whispered, "Thank you. "Felicia's smile grew wider, her eyes more gentle, and she said"You're welcome ."
The mother and daughter went out, keeping the bedroom door open.
Xiaobai was left alone, gazing at his porridge, left wondering. Why can't he muster any caution or defence against the mother and daughter? They made him feel relaxed and he let down his guard.
He won't believe that this is some side effect of recovering his life. His training and experiences taught him to be on guard and alert at all times, being suspicious of everything.
Maybe it is because their eyes are too clean and gentle? They had the aura that made everyone put down their guard. His stomach gurgled. Forget it,better fed myself first and leave the analization for later.
Felicia carried Lili downstairs , kissing her cheeks and babying her.
"My baby is hungry huh, my poor baby, don't worry, Mama is going to feed you lots of delicious food today !"
The foodie Lili was very happy, she giggled as she feels ticklish from her mother's kisses. Aldrich watch them as he set the table, his heart warm. The family sat down and have a loving breakfast.
Felicia eats fast. She was concerned about Xiaobai. After eating ,she said to her husband.
"I'm going up to check on Xiaobai .And after that, we're having a family meeting about Xiaobai okay? We didn't have time last night, its perfect to do it now today. "Aldrich just hum, and Lili nodded while drinking milk.
Felicia went again upstairs, bringing water and some medicines and bandages. She knock on the door first then went in. Xiaobai just finish drinking his porridge, feeling thirsty.
He looked at her, then his gaze went to her hand holding the glass of water. Felicia understood, handing him the water.He drank thirstily.
After drinking, he put aside the glass and look inquiringly at Felicia. Felicia held up the medicine kit, explaining,"I have to change the dressing on your wound,may I? "
Xiaobai nodded expressionlessly. Felicia got down and started to unwrap the wound. It has already clotted. Due to the evolution and adaptation of mankind, when they got injured, they will rapidly heal.
A gunshot wound can heal in just a week or two. Ofcourse, that is when they are treated and properly sanitized. If not, it will rapidly deteriote, especially now with the environment they are in. The medicines and medical treatment had also advanced to adopt to the extreme environment were bacterias and viruses are very active.
Felicia tried to be gentle with treating tge wound, secretly observing Xiaobai, She sighed, feeling distressed. A young child who didn't even flinch in pain or give a cry and remained expressionless must be a child accustomed to pain. What must he have gone through to be like that.
"Are you alright? " Felicia couldn't help but ask.
Xiaobai looked at her and nodded. Felicia felt funny, "This kid is like a closed bitter gourd, very much like Aldrich when we first met, always showing others a face like they owe him a lot of money.
But when he fell in love,he was like sticky candy, a blackbellied one." Thinking about it, this boy was also sinfully good looking.
Hiss, she's a sucker for good looking faces, and she's proud that her daughter is too.This society, either in the past, present or future, revolves around looks, we can't deny that.
Her mind can't help but wander, already imagining the scene where a long line of potential daighters-in-law fighting for favor. She can't help but shiver, she remembered the long line of rivals she had because of her husband. Thinking about it, she kinda symphatize with whoever manages to marry this beautiful kid. Might be a tough battle for that person.
She clenched her imaginary fists, cheering for the still nonexistent daughter-in-law. Huh, this Mother Lu, she haven't adopted him yet she's already worried about his wife. The typical mother that she is. Well, with Xiaobai's exquisite handsome face, it will be a wonder if she let him go, no way, she can't pass this chance to have a lovely son.
If she can have him as her son, her dream of having a set of handsome,elegant son and beautiful, gorgeous daughter will soon be realized. She giggled foolishly.
Xiaobai was startled, looking at her with complicated eyes. "This woman, seems a bit foolish. No wonder her daughter was like that, it's inherited." He paused, growing worried, remembering his earlier foolishness. "It seems to be...contagious? "He felt shivers rundown his spine. He wants to remain intelligent and sober, thank you.
Mother Lu, your road to become a mother again seems to be rocky.
