Chapter 1049: Chapter 1049: No More Nightmares
The little girl wrapped her arms around his neck, nodding while sobbing.
Yun Xuefei watched the scene, and her tears, which she had just managed to stop, rolled down again.
Suddenly, she felt warmth in her right hand.
She turned her head and met Zhixi’s comforting gaze.
Yun Xuefei couldn’t help but smile, gently shaking her head, "I’m fine."
He’s back, and from now on, she would no longer have nightmares.
Tang Yuan took quite a while to stop crying, but her body still jerked from habit.
Huo Yanhui touched her cheek and took out two handfuls of candy from his pocket, gently saying, "Sweetheart, you haven’t had this candy before, right?"
The little girl was indeed distracted by the candy; she sniffled and said in a muffled voice, "Daddy, are these candies you brought back from Africa?"
Huo Yanzhao was slightly taken aback, then smiled, "That’s right."
"Then... Daddy, did you make all the children in Africa well?" the little girl eagerly asked.
"Hmm, I cured some of them." Huo Yanzhao laughed hoarsely, "But Daddy missed Tang Yuan, so I came back."
The little girl was both happy and a bit embarrassed, softly asking, "Then... what will happen to the other sick children..."
"There are other doctors there, and they will continue Daddy’s work," Huo Yanzhao said gently, "Don’t worry, they’ll all get better."
"Okay!" The little girl nodded heavily, and finally felt happy.
She extended both hands, grabbing the candy, "Daddy, put me down."
Huo Yanzhao put her down as requested.
Holding the candy, she ran over to Xiaobao and handed him a handful, "Brother Xiaobao, here! My daddy’s back! He brought these candies from Africa! They’re really tasty, I’m giving you half."
Xiaobao happily accepted, "Thank you, Sister Tang Yuan!"
The two children soon started giggling and sharing the candy with each other.
Huo Yanzhao gazed at them blankly, his expression tender.
After a long while, he turned again to look at Yun Xuefei.
It seemed only now did he realize Zhixi’s presence, slightly surprised, "You’re here too, sister-in-law."
Then, he noticed Zhixi’s flat belly.
He was even more surprised, "The baby is already born?"
"Yes..." Zhixi couldn’t help but laugh, "The baby came early, and it’s two girls. Brother Huo, you and Xuefei have a good chat, I’ll leave you two to it."
After saying that, she considerately walked over to the two children, and was honored to receive two pieces of candy—one each from Xiaobao and Tang Yuan.
Huo Yanzhao and Yun Xuefei stared at each other for quite a while, neither speaking.
Yun Xuefei suddenly lowered her head, softly saying, "I’ll go to the kitchen to prepare lunch."
With that, she turned and headed towards the kitchen.
Huo Yanzhao caught her wrist, hoarsely saying, "I’ll go with you."
Yun Xuefei’s cheeks flushed slightly, somewhat awkwardly shaking off his wrist, and quickly walked into the kitchen.
Huo Yanzhao still followed her, then closed the kitchen door.
Yun Xuefei took a deep breath, not yet ready emotionally, when suddenly a firm arm wrapped around her waist.
The next second, she was pushed against the wall by the man.
She stared blankly into the man’s dark eyes, her heart pounding fiercely.
Huo Yanzhao cupped her face and kissed her intensely.
