Muted

Chapter 58

The child woke up when changing to a third potion. She was groggy and burned, not knowing what happened, but moved subconsciously, trying to break free from Mu Ran's arms.

Mu Ran noticed the movement in his arms, and tightened the arm around the child, and then gently held the child's hand to prevent her from moving the needle, lowered his head and said as softly as possible: "Don't be afraid, just a moment. "

The child heard the sound and looked up from his arms to see him.

Mu Ran brushed her hair in front of her forehead, faced those big eyes with inquiry and smiled, and then patted her back gently, whispering: "Oh, don't be afraid. "

The child still looked at him with her eyes open, and her dirty little face had no expression. After a few seconds, her slightly-stretched body relaxed slightly, and after a few more seconds, her head leaned slightly against Mu Ran's chest, and another unstuck hand grabbed Mu Ran's cuff.

Seeing the child calm down and no more disturb, Mu Ran relaxed a little, but in a moment, he lowered his head with a little worry and asked, "The child is not hungry." The child did not speak, but looked straight at Mu Ran. After patiently asking again, she finally nodded gently.

There is a night market not far from the clinic. Mu Ran talked to the child: "You are waiting for me here, shall I go out and buy food for you?" As soon as his voice fell, the child turned her head and buried herself Into Mu Ran's arms, the hand holding Mu Ran's cuffs was clenched tightly, as if Mu Ran would run away in the next second.

Mu Ran was crying and laughing. Just then, Dr. Liu came down from her house. When she saw the scene, she asked a little strangely: "What's wrong?" Mu Ran told the doctor after waking up the child. The doctor thought about it: "Otherwise, I'll go and cook her noodles."

Mu Ran quickly shook his head. "No need, no trouble."

Dr. Liu smiled. "There is no trouble, my house is upstairs. It's good for the child to eat something." Dr. Liu's home and clinic are in the same building. There are stairs behind the clinic. But it is also very convenient.

Mu Ran was still a little hesitant. Dr. Liu looked at the child buried in Mu Ran's arms and held his cuffs tightly, jokingly said, "This child is smart, but she knows who is really good for her" and went upstairs.

In just ten minutes, Dr. Liu held the bowl of noodles down. Mu Ran was ashamed to bother the doctor again, coaxed the child to sit in a chair, and squatted in front of her to feed her bite by bite. It was just the child's hand in the process. Always clinging to his clothes tightly, no matter how to persuade not to loosen.

It was eleven o'clock after all the work was done, and Mu Ran accompanied Dr. Liu to close the clinic door, discussed with the doctor, and decided to wait for the child downstairs. Dr. Liu's husband was away from home on business trips. His daughter lived in her grandmother's house when she was studying and did not return on weekdays. After all, he is a big man. It is absolutely impossible to go to the doctor's house so late now.

Dr. Liu cried and laughed at Mu Ran's "consciousness", but she no longer persuaded him, so she was ready to take the child from Mu Ran and take her upstairs. I didn't know the child was holding Mu Ran's neck tightly, and she couldn't let go. Mu Ran hugged her for a long time, regardless of whether she could understand or not, and constantly explained to her that the doctor took her to take a bath to check her health for her good, so that she would not regenerate her illness. After a long time, the child finally became loose. Dr. Liu took the opportunity to pick her up, greeted Mu Ran, and took the child upstairs.

It was cold outside, and the cold wind infiltrated into the clothes like a razor blade. Mu Ran rubbed his hands a little and couldn't bear it. He stepped back and stood in the corridor. He don't know how long, Mu Ran heard the sound of a lock popping upstairs. He raised his head and could see the light shining through the door. Mu Ran went out of the corridor, but his steps didn't stop. A small figure rushed down, and flung on him in a blink, holding his legs tightly.
