Li Mo was so caring not just because the girl was Bai Xin’s niece, but seeing her sensible nature in this moment, he felt compelled to help.
Bai Zhi was being too well-behaved, knowing the truth without throwing a tantrum or breaking down into a loud cry; instead, she was comforting the distraught Bai Xin and another little girl.
Was she really not afraid?
How could she possibly not be scared?
Perhaps Li Mo’s sympathy was too evident, Bai Zhi even gave him a faint smile, tinged with a bit of sweetness.
"I’ll take you to handle the hospital admission procedures."
A wave of pity rose in Li Mo, this girl, she was too good.
Bai Xin wiped her face, and despite Bai Zhi’s objections, picked her up in her arms. Bai Zhi was too thin, and Bai Xin felt her weight was as light as a feather.
Without any weight, Bai Xin’s tears fell again. For some reason, her tears today were particularly cheap, falling uncontrollably.
It hadn’t always been . Even when her family treated her badly, it had never affected her.
Bai Zhi felt a bit embarrassed; she was already so big to still be carried, somewhat helpless.
With Li Mo there, the hospital admission process went smoothly. There happened to be a single room available, so Bai Zhi was admitted.
Wu Wa and Bai Xin stayed by Bai Zhi’s side, reluctant to leave for even a moment. Seeing them so anxious and worried, Bai Zhi didn’t know what to do; her heart was anything but calm.
Then Li Mo came and prescribed some medicine for Bai Zhi,
"Take this medicine and have a good sleep. Okay?"
Bai Zhi sniffed it. This seemed to be a sleeping pill. Was he that worried she wouldn’t be able to sleep?
"Take it. You need a good sleep right now," Li Mo said, ruffling Bai Zhi’s hair. Although she acted nonchalant, what she needed most at this moment was rest.
"Xingxing, be good and take it. I and Wu Wa will stay right here with you, okay? I’ll try to get in touch with Grandpa to have him come back."
Although she wasn’t sure she could reach him, Bai Xin would try her hardest.
"Okay, but this pill is kind of big."
She didn’t want to refuse, but the pill was too large. What if it got stuck in her throat?
Li Mo felt a bit helpless; this girl wasn’t scared of having a needle in her body yet was afraid of taking a pill.
"Xingxing, is that right? You’re not scared of having a needle in you, so why are you afraid of taking medicine?"
Li Mo couldn’t help but ask her directly.
Bai Zhi’s cheeks flushed with embarrassment but at the same time, she was surprised. He actually called her Xingxing?
"But I don’t feel the needle, and I have to swallow this pill now, so I’m scared. Auntie, look at how big it is, it will surely get stuck in my throat. Can’t I just not take it?"
Bai Zhi held onto Bai Xin’s hand, pleading. It must be incredibly bitter.
"It’s okay, it’s okay. Auntie has a way."
Without hesitation, Bai Xin took the pill and broke it into two smaller pieces.
Her skilled movements were just like those of Grandpa Bai Dan.
"Look Xingxing, isn’t it smaller now?"
Bai Zhi smiled awkwardly. Yes, now it was smaller, turned into two pills, but she still had to take them.
Bai Zhi looked at the small pieces with a mix of fear and hate, worse than knowing about the needle... Her heart was...
Wu Wa considerately brought water over to Bai Zhi.
"Ah Zhi, I brought you the water."
Wu Wa, I suspect you’re doing this on purpose, but I have no evidence.
She didn’t want to take the medicine.
But seeing their swollen, red eyes, Bai Zhi closed her eyes, pinched her nose, and just did it.
Seeing Bai Zhi , Bai Xin revealed a helpless smile. Xingxing, she was so cute.
At the same time, she made a decision in her heart. She would go back and confront Bai Da. She would make Bai Da pay the price.
