From afar, a feeble little voice called out to her, "Mommy..."
Mo Qiansu lifted her head and saw Qin Chuanyou holding the Little Demon King who had awakened at some point, walking towards her.
At the sight of her son, Mo Qiansu immediately gathered all her unease and vulnerability, reaching out to take the Little Demon King from Qin Chuanyou's arms.
The Little Demon King's eyelids were red and his eyelashes still wet; clearly, he had been crying.
Mo Qiansu kissed his cold little face, feeling both heartache and guilt. Leaving Xiaoyu alone in the cold research lab, he must have been terrified waking up without seeing her...
"Did you cry because you didn't see Mommy?"
"I did not!" The Little Demon King sniffled and buried his little face deep into Mommy's neck, hugging her tightly so no one could see the fear on his face.
Mo Qiansu was standing outside Pei Tianshuo's closed door, from which painful screams kept echoing out.
