"He's already come back. Uncle Erlai even came to see you, but you were asleep at the time. Uncle Erlai left once he heard from Dad that you were fine," Gao Xiaomei answered.
An Ning tugged at the corner of her mouth, revealing a subtle smile.
It's good that he's back; she could finally be at ease.

Next door, when An Dafu got back, he immediately started boiling water. He wanted to take a hot shower to rid himself of fatigue and cold. But just as he had the water ready, he saw the soaking wet mother and daughter clinging to each other in the room.
With a sigh, succumbing to a moment of compassion, An Dafu spoke up, "Well, I have hot water ready. The child got caught in the rain; quickly take her for a hot bath before she falls sick."
