The storm raged through the night.
A streak of white light suddenly flashed past outside the window, which was followed by a booming thunder. After being jolted awake by the thunder, Baby Chu wailed in fear.
“Mommy…”
He had a nightmare. He dreamed that Chu He was standing in front of him, yet she became extremely unfamiliar. She gazed at him as if she did not know him, that they were nothing but mere strangers.
He panicked and wailed. He hugged her, but she pushed him away coldly.
“Mommy!”
Baby Chu cried out in surprise, only to see Chu He turn around and leave. He chased after her fearfully, but the path beneath his feet seemed to know no limits. He ran and ran, yet Chu He continued forward. It felt like he would never catch up to her.
“Mommy…”
No matter how much he shrieked, Chu He did not turn around a single time. He was so frightened that he was at a loss for what to do. Despite chasing her with all his might, all he could do was to helplessly watch as Chu He gradually disappeared from his sight.
When he was jolted awake from the nightmare by the sudden clap of thunder, he was already drenched in cold sweat and shivering.
Unknowingly, tears were streaming down his cheeks.
The more Baby Chu thought about the scenes in his dream, the more frightened he became.
He rarely dreamed. Even if he did, he would forget everything in his dreams when he woke up.
However, this dream was extremely clear. Even after he woke up, it was still deeply etched in his mind.
“Mommy…”
Baby Chu started crying in sorrow.
His crying alerted Gu Jinglian, who was reading in the study.
He had the habit of reading before he slept.
Upon hearing Baby Chu’s cries, he walked into the master bedroom only to see Baby Chu covering his eyes and crying his heart out.
“Why are you crying again?”
Gu Jinglian looked displeased.
Why is my son always crying and looking so vulnerable?
After all, the blood of the Gu family flows in his veins!
Instead of inheriting my charisma, he’s just like a fragile glass doll.
Someday, I’ll train him well!
Gu Jinglian silently lamented.
The moment Baby Chu saw him, he felt a great sense of security. He stood up and threw himself into Gu Jinglian’s arms, not caring that both of them had a horrible fight earlier. Without any hesitation, he pounced into Gu Jinglian’s embrace.
“Uncle, Mommy doesn’t want me anymore… I can’t catch up to her no matter how hard I try. She doesn’t want me anymore and abandoned me just like that!”
When Gu Jinglian saw Baby Chu pounce into his arms so unhesitatingly, he felt a bit moved. it was as if his heart had softened for Baby Chu.
He could not help but reach out and stroke the back of Baby Chu’s head, comforting him.
“Did you have a nightmare?”
Baby Chu continued sobbing.
He still did not know what a nightmare was. All he knew was that this dream had utterly shattered all the hope he harbored in his heart.
“Will Mommy really not want me anymore… Why hasn’t she come to find me after so long? Is she going to abandon me?”
Gu Jinglian raised his eyebrows, but his voice unconsciously became gentler. “No, she won’t!”
“Really?”
“It’s just a bad dream, dear.”
Gu Jinglian stroked his hair and coaxed, “Go to sleep.”
“Uncle, you won’t abandon me, right?” Baby Chu looked at him uneasily.
Gu Jinglian looked at him. After a moment of silence, he suddenly flashed Baby Chu a smile. “No!”
Baby Chu felt inexplicably relieved!
Just as Gu Jinglian carried Baby Chu to the bed and tucked him in, his phone suddenly rang.
Feeling frustrated, Gu Jinglian picked up the call. His subordinate’s panicked voice could be heard from the other end. “Master Gu, a group from the Green Dragon Gang barged into the casino to wreck the place. They injured many of our people!”
