"Mummy, Mummy…" Kimi's voice became increasingly real, and his little hand patted Xia Yanxin's face repeatedly. Startled, she suddenly opened her eyes.
In the orange light, Kimi knelt beside her, his large eyes flickering as he gazed at her; his soft little hand still caressing her forehead, he asked curiously, "Mummy, are you sick? Does it hurt a lot?"
Xia Yanxin let out a sigh of relief, realizing that the terrifying scene had been just a dream. Perhaps the Ding Mo incident had cast a shadow in her heart, causing such a nightmare. Thankfully, it was all a false alarm. She suddenly felt that "false alarm" was the best phrase in the world.
Meeting the concerned eyes of her son, Xia Yanxin just hugged Kimi tightly against her, letting his soft little body press closely over her heart. Only the sound of his rapid, tiny heartbeat could calm her down.
"Babe, Mummy isn't sick, Mummy just had a nightmare…"
"What kind of nightmare? Were there monsters? Devils?"
