Joyful Motherhood in a Rural Family

chapter 117

She couldn’t describe the feeling in her heart!

Liu Sisi finally made it home before nightfall, stumbling and bumping into things along the way.

Di Yelei still hadn’t come back, but Sister Guihua was playing with YingEr. Seeing her return, Guihua breathed a sigh of relief.

“Sisi, why is your face so pale? Is your wound still hurting?”

No wonder Guihua asked. Liu Sisi’s hand was still holding a string of paper-wrapped parcels, which were the medicinal materials Dr. He had prepared for her.

“Ah? I… I’m fine.”

Liu Sisi looked at the medicine sack in her hand and couldn’t remember how she had picked it up, totally spaced out.

Guihua examined her carefully for a moment, and then touched her forehead, “Ay! You have a fever, no wonder your face is so pale. You better go lie down for a while. Dinner is ready, I’ll go boil the medicine for you first, and you can eat after you drink the medicine.”

Liu Sisi didn’t refuse. Just walking back home had drained all her energy.

Her injuries, fever, lack of rest, and extreme anxiety had already worn her out. She went back to her room, collapsed on her bed, and fell into a deep sleep.

In a daze, she seemed to hear Di Yelei’s deep and mellow voice in her ears.

Through the haze, she seemed to see Di Yelei’s face right in front of her, reaching out to support her and pouring soup medicine into her stomach, one mouthful at a time.

She wanted to see his face clearly and whether he had gotten thinner.

She wanted to express her worries and accompany him.

She wanted to tell him that she had always believed he wasn’t the killer.

His image in front of her eyes was sometimes close, sometimes far away, but she could never see his face clearly. His voice was so gentle that it was intoxicating…

But where was he? Why wouldn’t he come back!

Confused, she couldn’t resist the overwhelming drowsiness and fell asleep once more.

In her dreams, Di Yelei held her tenderly, pampering and loving her over and over again. The two were inseparable and playful to their heart’s content…

She was intoxicated, lost in this beautiful spring dream.

Never to awaken!

The moment she woke up, Liu Sisi jumped out of bed! Had Ye Lei come back?

Quickly putting on her shoes, Liu Sisi went straight to the kitchen, but didn’t see anyone. She turned around and hurried to the firewood room. Usually, he would be chopping firewood in the firewood room at this time, but there was still no one here.

She didn’t give up and went around the front and back of the house.

Then she ran out of the courtyard, opened the main entrance, and searched for traces of his presence.

Still no one!

Her legs went limp, and she sat down on the threshold, burying her head in her arms. She hugged herself, feeling dizzy.

It was so cold! So cold!

The early autumn weather was pleasant, but her heart was cold.

“Sisi.”

Liu Sisi closed her eyes and couldn’t help but laugh bitterly. She had hallucinated again, hearing Di Yelei’s gentle call to her name.

“Sisi, don’t sit here, the ground is cold. Let’s go to bed and sleep!” His voice came again.
