The Divine Doctor And A Common Farmer-Chapter 1755 - 1842: Mother
She grabbed a towel and wiped her shoulder-length hair, then sat down at the dressing table. But somehow, maybe her eyes were deceiving her, or was it an illusion?
In an instant...
In the bronze mirror, that exquisite and elegant face suddenly turned into a black, ugly pockmarked face!!!
She jumped in fright!!
After calming her heart, she looked again at the brass mirror surface, only to see it had returned to normal. It was still her own face... But that scene just now was etched deeply in her memory, leaving a profound mark in her heart!!
"Mother, Mother—!!"
A small figure ran towards Dong Huiying’s room. Just as he was about to crash open the door, he braked abruptly, then stood there with a flushed little face, a few strands of hair on his forehead soaked in sweat.
He took a slight breath, seemingly trying to calm his rapid breathing from the run.
"...Mother?" 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖
Staring at the closed door, Wu Wang called softly.
Inside the room, Dong Huiying also pressed her chest quickly, suppressing the palpitations caused by her visual illusion just now.
She grabbed a towel, quickly wiped her hair twice, and then hurried to the door.
Opening the door, she saw Wu Wang, wearing the same purple outfit as her, lift his little face and look at her timidly.
Dong Huiying squatted down to meet Wu Wang’s gaze.
She noticed a crease at Wu Wang’s collar, so she reached out to smooth it out carefully for him.
She patted Wu Wang’s little head, examining him closely...
"Our Wangwang has grown taller, and slimmed down, looking like he lost quite a bit of weight." She smiled at Wu Wang, then pulled the child into her embrace.
The slightly awkward Wu Wang, due to their time apart, suddenly laughed along with Dong Huiying.
Little Wuwang affectionately hugged Dong Huiying’s neck, rubbed his little face against Dong Huiying’s neck. "Mother, I miss you so much!!"
Dong Huiying forcefully blinked away the sourness in her eyes.
She gently replied, "Mm, mother misses you too."
Suddenly, Wu Wang’s eyes turned red.
"Mother, I miss, miss, miss you so much! More than you miss me!!" He said, nodding heavily as if confirming his statement.
Dong Huiying blinked again, but this time couldn’t successfully hold back her tears. She suddenly buried her face in Wu Wang’s little shoulder.
"I’m sorry..."
Her voice trembled.
"Mother failed you, I’ve let you down..."
She hadn’t spent much time by his side these years; initially because she didn’t know of Wu Wang’s existence, and later because she left voluntarily. As a mother, she had been so derelict, so unqualified, so unfit.
Unknowingly, she had already missed the child’s growth.
She vaguely remembered before leaving, Wu Wang was babbling, speaking unclearly, using many repeated words, but upon meeting again, he spoke fluently, articulately...
Dong Huiying felt terribly uncomfortable inside, her nose getting increasingly congested.
Wu Wang gently shook his little head and said earnestly, "Wangwang will grow up someday!! Great-grandmother told Wangwang, it will still take many, many years for Wangwang to grow up!"
