Chapter 673: You Won't Let Me Down, Right?_1

Mu Jingxi gestured for the doctor to step out, then turned and walked toward Little Nuomi.

Little Nuomi's eyes were red and swollen from crying, her tiny hands clenched slightly, her little head tilted back looking up at him. Mu Jingxi squatted down in front of her, grasped her shoulder, and asked softly, "Why aren't you inside keeping Mommy company?"

"Uncle, why won't Mommy talk to Little Nuomi?" Little Nuomi pouted, on the verge of crying again.

A bitter taste spread in Mu Jingxi's heart as he took her into his arms, comforting her softly, "Your mommy got a fright, and she hasn't come back to her senses yet. You need to give her some time to adjust her feelings, okay?"

"But... but Little Nuomi wants to talk to Mommy."

"You can talk to Uncle."

"It's not the same." Little Nuomi shook her head and sucked in her nose, large tears plopping down.

Uncle is uncle, Mommy is mommy.

She wants Mommy, only Mommy.
