197 I’m Mom
“Shuo Shuo cried day and night for the first few days. He couldn’t see the light of day... These few days, after psychological counseling, he’s much better...” Dean Cai sighed. “However, I’m afraid it will take a long time for him to completely recover from the psychological trauma.”
Le Yao couldn’t help but sniffle. Then, she looked up at the ceiling to stop her tears from falling. It took her a long time to recover. “Can I go in and see him?”
Dean Cai hesitated for a moment. “He has a tendency to be irritable and might hurt people.”
“It’s fine.” Le Yao shook her head.
“Alright then.” Dean Cai opened the door.
Because of the sound of the door opening and closing, the boy was shocked for a moment, but she only raised her eyes for a moment before continuing to be in a daze.
“Shuo Shuo...” Le Yao slowly walked over and squatted down, calling him as gently as she could.
The little guy suddenly looked up. There was light in his eyes, but when he met Le Yao’s face, it suddenly dimmed. He thought he heard his mother’s voice just now, but that face was not his mother’s.
“Shuo Shuo...” Le Yao slowly approached. “I’m Mom...”
The little guy looked up again and stared blankly at Le Yao. He suddenly screamed, “Ah...” Then, he shrank back into the corner as if he was afraid of something.
Le Yao was shocked, but she quickly went forward and hugged the child. “Shuo Shuo, don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid. It’s okay, it’s okay...”
Shuo Shuo, on the other hand, was struggling intensely. He was crying his heart out and waving his little hands around.
Le Yao turned her head and dodged, but his small hand left two bloody scratch marks on her neck.
However, Le Yao couldn’t care less. She just kept patting the child’s back and said softly, “It’s okay, Shuo Shuo, be good...”
Nangong Jue was so frightened that he wanted to rush over, but Dean Cai stopped him. “Sir Jue, there’s no hurry. Look.”
Nangong Jue looked over again and realized that the little guy had actually calmed down. He stopped crying and lay calmly in Le Yao’s arms. Le Yao was still gently patting his back.
“Madam is very impressive.” Dean Cai smiled. “You have to know that although he’s slowly getting better these few days, he’s still very cautious against outsiders.”
Le Yao finally heaved a sigh of relief. “Shuo Shuo is so obedient.”
“Mom...” Shuo Shuo called softly. “Good smell...”
“Yes, I’m Mom.” Le Yao nodded. “Go to sleep. Mommy will accompany you.”
Perhaps the little guy was tired, he actually closed his eyes.
However, a new problem appeared. The little guy kept grabbing Le Yao’s clothes and refused to let go. As long as she pulled away, he would pout and look like he would cry in the next second.
“Young Madam, it’s very likely that you smell like his mother. That’s why he accepted you,” the psychiatrist beside her explained. “This is a typical emotional dependence.”
Le Yao frowned. “But I can’t be pulled by him like this forever.”
“Then leave your clothes behind.”
“I...” Le Yao felt that this was a good idea. However, it was summer and she was wearing a T-shirt with her undergarments inside. How could she go out without it?
In the end, Dean Cai gave Le Yao a uniform from their orphanage. It was also a T-shirt with a printed on it. Fortunately, it was new and had not been opened.
