âMommy...â
Song Yunxuan heard the innocent voice of a familiar child in a trance.
She frowned and grasped the quilt tightly.
Outside the window, a little moonlight glinted through the dark clouds, bright and clear.
The snow on the windowsill reflected the moonlight.
âMommy?â
The child called again.
âMiaomiao...â Song Yunxuan murmured, âMiaomiao?â
No one in the room responded to her.
However, she seemed to see a childâs shadow in the dark with a faint white light in her dream. The child was squatting in the distance, hugging her knees, crying, and shouting, âMommy, where are you?â
âMiaomiao, Iâm here.â Song Yunxuan said and wanted to walk into the darkness.
She wanted to hug the child who was holding her knees.
However, there was an invisible wall in front of her, which firmly separated her from Miaomiao.
She was trapped on this side of the wall and unable to cross this barrier.
On the other side, Miaomiao cried very hard. She raised her eyes which were full of tears and cried, âMommy, where are you? Iâm so scared, mommy.â
âMiaomiao, Iâm here. Come to me.â
Song Yunxuan wanted to break the barrier in front of her anxiously. However, no matter how she slapped, there were no cracks on the transparent glass wall.
Miaomiaoâs cry reached her ears clearly.
âMom, I feel uncomfortable. Iâm so scared... Itâs too high.â
Crying, Miaomiao stood up in the dark and looked around, wanting to seek support.
However, even if Song Yunxuan desperately called the childâs name, it seemed that the child could not hear anything but looked around blankly with unfocused eyes.
Miaomiao could not see where Song Yunxuan was.
She could not hear Song Yunxuanâs voice, either.
Therefore, with her back to Song Yunxuan, Miaomiao walked further and further away.
She walked and cried in broken sobs, âMom, mom, where are you? Will you come to pick me up? Both my father and aunt are not good to me. Iâm so sad. Mom! Mom!â
As the child went farther and farther, her crying gradually disappeared into the darkness.
Song Yunxuan wanted to reach out. She wanted to run and catch up with the child, holding her in her arms, comforting her, and wiping the teardrops off her face.
However, Song Yunxuan could not break the wall in front of her or reach out to grab the child.
She could only watch the child walk farther and farther away in the dark.
She could not help but kneel on the ground.
Suddenly, the child looked back in the distance.
She seemed to glance at Song Yunxuan.
At such a long distance, Song Yunxuan should have been unable to see the childâs expression clearly.
Surprisingly, she saw the childâs face.
Tears of blood flowed from the childâs eyes.
Drops of blood flowed down her cheeks.
Her face was lifeless. She was like a corpse that had been dead for a long time.
Song Yunxuan suddenly felt a gnawing pain from her heart and could not help but yell.
âMiaomiao... Miaomiao!â
Song Yunxuan suddenly sat up on the bed.
It was dark all around.
She opened her eyes and looked around. Cool moonlight poured in from the window.
The housekeeper outside the door heard Song Yunxuanâs voice, hurriedly knocked on the door, and asked Song Yunxuan, âMiss Song, whatâs the matter? What happened?â
Song Yunxuan was still in shock and furrowed her brow, âPrepare the car. Prepare the car now!â
Hearing Song Yunxuanâs order, the housekeeper asked in a panic, âMiss Song, where do you want to go? Itâs three oâclock in the morning.â
âIâm going to the Peopleâs Hospital. Go right now!â
Song Yunxuan got out of bed. As she recalled the scene in her dream, she felt that her heart was being cut constantly. She was utterly sorrowful.
âIâm going to see Miaomiao.â
âBut...â
The housekeeper wanted to say something, but Song Yunxuan would not give her a chance to speak. Wearing her pajamas, she rushed out of the room.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Seeing Song Yunxuan rushing out of the room anxiously, the housekeeper knew she could not stop Song Yunxuan. She immediately took a piece of Song Yunxuanâs coat from the room and chased Song Yunxuan out, âManager Song, at the very least, change your clothes before going. It is inappropriate for you to go to the hospital in pajamas.â
The housekeeper chased and shouted at the back.
Song Yunxuan didnât want to stop. She rushed to the garage, opened it, opened the car door with the key, got in the car, and started the car.
The car was not fast just after being started. The housekeeper rushed to the car and slapped the window, âMiss Song, Miss Song, put on the coat, please. Donât catch a cold.â
After seeing the housekeeper slapping the car window continuously, Song Yunxuan lowered the window and took her coat.
After Song Yunxuan took it, the housekeeper frowned and stopped chasing Song Yunxuanâs car.
Seeing that Song Yunxuanâs car went further and further, the housekeeper was still worried, so she turned back to the living room and called Mei Qi.
All night, Mei Qi had been restless for no reason.
Although he went to bed very early, he couldnât sleep at all.
At two oâclock in the morning, he fell asleep for a while.
However, at three oâclock, his phone rang.
He reached for the phone and saw the phone number of the Song Familyâs housekeeper displayed on the screen.
Without thinking, he knew that something happened to Song Yunxuan.
After he answered the phone, the housekeeperâs voice came immediately, âMr. Mei, something wrong. You should go to the hospital to keep an eye on Miss Song.â
âWhat happened to Manager Song? Is she unwell?â
âNo. Miss Song had a nightmare at night. Then, without changing her clothes, she drove directly to the hospital. I tried my best to persuade her but failed to stop her.â
Hearing the housekeeperâs words, Mei Qi frowned and blamed her, âWhy didnât you call me earlier?â
âIt happened too fast. Manager Song rushed directly into the garage. I saw that she was wearing pajamas and worried that she would catch a cold, so I chased her out and gave her a coat.â
âEnough. I will chase her right now.â
Mei Qi got up from the bed immediately. Then, having no time to change his clothes, he put on a woolen coat and went to drive.
At the quiet midnight, why did Song Yunxuan suddenly drive to the hospital?
Even if she had a nightmare, she should have calmed down after a while.
Song Yunxuan was very worried about Miaomiao, but Miaomiao had got Shao Tianzeâs attention, so she would not be in danger for the time being. Song Yunxuan had been doing so well before, always stable and calm. Why did she suddenly become so impulsive and unable to calm down?
In his heart, Mei Qi felt pessimistic about Song Yunxuanâs current reaction and behavior.
He dialed Song Yunxuanâs number while driving.
This time he was more anxious than last time.
Last time, he could not reach Song Yunxuan because Song Yunxuan did not want to answer the phone.
However, this time was different. Except that Song Yunxuan didnât want to answer the phone, she didnât even bring her mobile phone.
The one who answered the phone was her housekeeper.
The housekeeper said, âMr. Mei, please chase Miss Song back. I think she really had a serious nightmare this time.â
Hearing what the housekeeper had said, Mei Qi creased his brow and said, âNo matter how bad the dream was, it is just a dream and will not come true.â
âI hope Miss Song also understands it.â
After saying these, Mei Qi did not want to continue talking to the housekeeper. He sped up and rushed to the Peopleâs Hospital.
On the way, he saw few cars at night.
However, when he approached the Peopleâs Hospital, he found that many cars were entering and leaving the hospital.
He even saw several police cars at the door. As he got closer, he saw a group of people under the inpatient department from a distance.
Among the crowd were nurses and doctors on duty in the hospital, as well as police officers from the police station.
Mei Qiâs heart sank all of a sudden for no reason.
He even felt scared and nervous.
It was because the building surrounded by the crowd was where Miaomiaoâs ward was.
He parked the car in an empty place and got off quickly.
As he approached the crowd, he saw a woman in pajamas with loose hair standing in the distance of the crowd and staring stiffly at the people.
Her feet seemed to be nailed to the ground, and she stopped moving a step.
Mei Qi continued to walk forward and heard the voice of a policeman in the distance coming from the cold wind, âIt is Shao Tianzeâs little daughter who died.â
Shao Tianzeâs little daughter...
Mei Qiâs heart froze at once.
The woman also heard that voice. Her legs suddenly became so weak that she fell to her knees.
Seeing her kneeling on the ground, Mei Qi immediately rushed to support her. He pushed back the womanâs messy hair and found that she was Song Yunxuan as expected.
âManager Song, letâs go back first.â
The tears in Song Yunxuanâs eyes came out suddenly. She raised her hand to cover her mouth and asked Mei Qi, âDid I get it wrong, Assistant Mei?â
Mei Qi wanted to tell her that she had heard it wrong.
However, when he turned his head to look, he clearly saw a child who had fallen into a bloody mess through the gap of the crowd.
The childâs face was up. Blood came out of her eyes, nostrils, and mouth.
The blood from the ears also flowed to the ground.
Her body was soaked in a pool of blood.
Came the words of a doctor.
âSuch a little child. She jumped down from the twelfth floor. Itâs a miracle that her legs and feet are still connected to the body.â
âSomeone once fell from the thirteenth floor. His leg fell apart far away.â
âThe Shao Family is wealthy. Why did they fail to take care of a child? How could they let a child climb out of the window in the middle of the night alone?â
âI heard from the nurse that she was sleepwalking.â
âSleepwalking?â
The doctors and the police found it strange.
Song Yunxuan grabbed Mei Qiâs collar with her fingers, blinked, and asked him, âWhat should I do... What should I do...â
She looked at Mei Qi in horror, âIs Miaomiao dead? Is my daughter dead?â
When hearing Song Yunxuanâs first question, Mei Qi felt that he didnât know how to answer it.
However, when he heard Song Yunxuanâs last question, he was stunned.
Song Yunxuan didnât notice the flaws in her words. She tried her best to stand up, âI need to see Miaomiao. They must mistake someone else for Miaomiao. My daughter has never sleepwalked. My daughter...â
Mei Qi covered her mouth and knocked on the back of her neck with a frown.
Song Yunxuanâs body immediately became limb and fell.
