After the meals, Qiao Nan held Xiao Bao in her arms as she made a phone call to the Tian family. Xiao Bao had a limited vocabulary. He would also jump from one topic to another. He had yet to finish the current sentence and he would go on to talk about other topics.
Although most of his sentences did not make sense, Mother Tian would turn soft-hearted when she chatted with him.
Mother Tian would be overjoyed whenever she chatted with her grandson. She would take a long time to end the call as she could not bear to part with her grandson. "Xiao Bao, I will recover very soon. By then, I will get your father to fetch you. Xiao Bao, I miss you terribly." Mother Tian was almost in tears at her grandson's baby voice.
