Chapter 423 - 407: A Man’s Tears
"Oh, right, the commander’s spouse also found scars on the child from cigarette burns after helping bathe the child. So his spouse specially applied scar removal ointment to the child and even put the remaining ointment in the child’s pocket. The commander, knowing the child is too young to explain, specifically instructed to give you a reminder not to forget to apply the ointment every day. The ointment’s effect in lightening scars is said to be very good, far surpassing those sold in the market,"
Officer Xu suddenly remembered this detail and hurriedly gave them a solemn reminder.
Scars from cigarette burns?
Zhao Jia’an and Cao Xinyu couldn’t hold back and in their haste, they lifted the child’s clothes to check, which nearly made their eyes bloodshot. Even Xu and Ke, the two officers, who were accustomed to seeing all kinds of wounds, couldn’t bear to look directly at the nearly skinless abused child through the rearview mirror.
"Those who deserve to be cut a thousand times," Zhao Jia’an and Cao Xinyu gritted their teeth with an audible grind, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.
"Yinyin, it’s all Mommy’s fault for not protecting you," Cao Xinyu said, her anger followed by extreme sorrow as she hugged Zhao Ziyin and cried until she was gasping for breath.
"Mommy, don’t cry, it doesn’t hurt anymore," Zhao Ziyin clumsily wiped Cao Xinyu’s tears with her hand. Seeing Cao Xinyu unable to stop crying, she reluctantly pinched the small jade box in her hand and took a long time to decide before reluctantly handing it over to Cao Xinyu.
"Mommy, take this, don’t cry anymore," Zhao Ziyin’s childish voice made Cao Xinyu’s tears flow even more fiercely. With tear-filled eyes, she didn’t even see what her daughter had handed to her; she grasped her daughter’s small hand and held it against her cheek, caressing it, "Mommy will definitely keep a closer eye on you from now on, never letting anyone else take care of you again."
