Didnât sleep well? She had never passed out from not having slept well. However, no one would know what was going on in his body. The doctors wonât be able to figure it out even if they were to go to the hospital.
Ever since the boyâs return, she knew that Youyou had been trying to make peace with Gong Fan. But, as Alice had said, the two personalities coexisted, so sooner or later, the boy would not be able to keep up.
Yun Shishi had no idea what it meant by ânot being able to keep upâ. However, seeing that Gong Fan had suddenly passed out like this, it was difficult for her not to associate the two matters.
âIf youâre tired, go to your room and rest for a while, okay?â
Gong Fan nodded gently, but he was a little reluctant. âIf I fall asleep, would it be for a few daysâ¦â
Yun Shishi understood what he meant. He was worried that if he were to fall asleep, it might be days before heâd wake up again.
Her heart ached for him, so she coaxed him gently. âThen⦠Mommy will stay with you, okay? Just stay in bed. Mommy wonât leave, okay?â
Gong Fan nodded gently. She stood up, carrying the boy in her arms. Gong Fan had grown taller and heavier. He was no longer as easy to carry as before.
Little Yichen helped support the boy.
Still holding Gong Fan, Yun Shishi turned and said guiltily, âNatalia, Iâm sorry. Today⦠heâs feeling unwell. The series of desserts will have to wait, but since he haâs promised to make it for you, heâll keep his end of the bargain. Just that todayâ¦â
Natalia was stunned for a moment. âItâs all right,â she said quickly. âIf heâs unwell, he should go to bed for a while!â
âUh huh!â Yun Shishi stood up, carrying the boy in her arms.
Hua Jin said, âIâll bring two cups of hot water up to the room.â
Gong Jie nodded. âDo hurry!â
â¦
In the bedroom, Yun Shishi gently placed Gong Fan on the bed and covered him with the blanket. Just as she was about to get up to draw the curtains, Gong Fan thought she was leaving and nervously pulled at her clothes.
Yun Shishi smiled and assured him gently, âMommyâs going to draw the curtains. Iâm not leaving, okay?â
Only then did Gong Fan relax. She drew the curtains and immediately returned to the bed. She sensed Gong Fanâs gaze on her and understood his fear that she would quietly leave if he were to accidentally fall asleep.
She knew in her hear, Gong Fan was more dependent on her than Youyou was. She took off her coat and got under the covers too.
She put her arms around him and comforted him. âDonât you believe what Mommy said?ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âI doâ¦â
âMommy has given my word that I wonât leave. Iâll stay here with you. I feel like you donât believe Mommy.â
Gong Fan bit his lip and remained silent.
Yun Shishi gently pinched the tip of his nose. âMommy doesnât mean to blame you! I just think that if youâre tired, you should close your eyes and sleep. If you donât want to sleep, just close your eyes and Mommy will accompany you!â
âMommyâ¦â
âMmm?â
âI want to ⦠listen to you sing.â Gong Fan paused and immediately said, âItâs okay if you donât want to sing. Just talk to me.â
She asked the boy, âWhat song would you like to hear?â
âAnything will do.â For some reason, he suddenly felt exhausted. He really wanted to sleep, but he simply couldnât sleep peacefully.
Maybe if he could hear her voice, it might help! Or so he thought.
Yun Shishi nodded, and so began to hum softly and casually.
