Chapter 879: Too Hurtful
Lele trembled even more. His big eyes were filled with tears, but he stubbornly refused to let it roll down his cheeks... He could not tell pretty sister about those things if he was sent back to the orphanage. There were so many bad people, and they were so scary. If pretty sister knew, those evil people would not let pretty sister off. Pretty sister was so good. Those bad people could not take her away.
Lele bit his lip and stood there. His thin neck hung down, and his entire body was filled with heartbreaking stubbornness. Seeing him like this, Shen Hanxing was not willing to continue interrogating him.
"What are you thinking?" Shen Hanxing smiled and said gently, "Since I brought you back, how can I send you back? Sister is just asking casually. I wanted to care about Lele."
When he heard Shen Hanxing say she would not send him away, Lele’s eyes lit up. His joy made them feel pity for him. Forget it. If he didn’t want to say it, then so be it. Shen Hanxing knew that this child must still be hiding many secrets. Just like how he was full of wariness towards Shen Sisi and that middle-aged woman in the hospital. He would rather be beaten than be treated. There must be a reason for his actions. However, he didn’t want to say it, and she didn’t want to force him. She believed that one day, Lele would tell her everything.
Lele was still young and started to feel sleepy after eating. Ji Mo brought him upstairs to sleep and helped him take a bath. Grandma was getting on in years, so she quickly returned to her room. The living room was soon empty again.
Just as Shen Hanxing was deep in thought, her phone suddenly rang. A long string of phone numbers appeared on the screen, and it was from overseas.
"Hello?" Shen Hanxing picked up the phone with some confusion. It was quiet on the other end of the phone, except for a faint breathing sound that came through the receiver. The person on the other end of the phone remained silent. Shen Hanxing frowned and faced Ji Yan’s puzzled gaze. She shook her head and said into the phone, "Hello, if you don’t say anything, I’ll hang up."
