Scared to Death

The baby seemed to understand Qin Xi's words. He grinned and made muffled sounds as he waved waved his small fists, as if he was interacting with Qin Xi.

Qin Xi's motherly love was instantly overflowing. The gentleness in her eyes seemed to be dripping. "Are you greeting me? You're so smart!"

She gently touched his soft face with her fingertip. "Let's go. Mommy will bring you to see Daddy!"

Qin Xi wrapped him up seriously. Then, she looked at the pool of blood on the ground and drew a talisman to purify all the filth. Only then did she slowly walk into the house.

In the kitchen, under the dim light, Qu Hong was making herself a cup of brown sugar water. When she heard movement at the back door, she immediately looked over warily.

When she saw that it was Qin Xi, she heaved a sigh of relief. However, when her gaze landed on the small blanket in Qin Xi's arms and the bloodstain on the nightdress, her heart skipped a beat and she panicked.
