Chapter 428 Escape from Home_2

"Hmm...?"

The little girl was so tired that she couldn't even open her eyes.

What is it this time?

There were only the two of them at home, her and Mom, so in the dead of night, it could only be Mom coming in.

Mom...

The girl lay in bed without moving, hearing the soft footsteps coming from behind. Mom pushed the bedroom door open and walked over to her bed.

"Qing Yue..."

The woman's fingers slowly caressed her cheek.

The dry fingertips, as they slid across her face, gave a rough sensation.

"Mom only has you left... Don't leave me, Qing Yue."

The whispered murmur, low in voice, lingered in her ear, like a dark, never-ending bedside story.

The woman repeated her fragmented words, rambling, but the girl was too young to sense the eeriness within.

Zhu Qingyue was too tired to move, also not opening her eyes, and soon fell into a deep sleep again.

So it was, Mom sat by her pillow for the whole night.

Mom had not let her go out for a long time.
