Chapter 256: Time to Settle Accounts

An hour of chaos had passed.

Fortunately, besides a slight fever, Lu Nuonuo exhibited no other symptoms.

Lu Xining changed her daughter into clean clothes and kissed her soft little face, "Nuonuo, are you tired? If you're sleepy, go to sleep, Mommy and Uncle will watch over you."

The feverish Little Dumpling was still a bit drowsy.

But seeing her worried mother above her, she nuzzled her small face and nodded like a pecking chick.

She mumbled, "Mommy, Uncle, don't be scared, Nuonuo loves you."

Beside them, Jing Zheng turned his face away, his eyes reddening with the comforting words of the soft Little Dumpling, his hatred for the Zhou Family surging to the crown of his head—how could they lay their hands on such a small child!

Lu Xining maintained her calm in front of her child, gently patting her back and humming a lullaby.

Little Dumpling soon fell into a sweet sleep in her mother's arms.
