"Chuchu," Bai Zhixi looked at her daughter with sorrow and spoke gently, "can you talk with Mom first, okay?"
Faced with Bai Zhixi's pleading, all the toughness that Wan Chu'er had mustered up immediately shattered, and she couldn't help but burst into tears, bending down to embrace Bai Zhixi.
"Mommy, please don't go, stay with me, okay? Daddy is already gone, do you really have the heart to watch me become an orphan too?"
"Without you, what should I do?"
"I don't want to be alone in this world, I was reborn just for you, if you leave, what meaning is there for me to live on..."
Listening to her daughter's sobbing, Bai Zhixi felt an immense sadness as well, for a moment not noticing the abnormality in Wan Chu'er's words.
She tried to reach out her hand, gently stroking her daughter's back, silently comforting her.
Outside the sickroom, Xiao Bai touched his face and to his surprise found his hand wet with tears.
He muttered to himself, "Chuchu is really pitiful."
