Seeing all this, Andrew smiled warmly. Then he looked down at the girl who was restless in his arms and sighed slightly.
Wearing the thin pajamas, Andrew was afraid that she would catch a cold. He carefully picked her up and whispered to Tina, "Aunt Tina, I take her to the bedroom."
Tina nodded, "Take her to my bedroom."
"Okay." Andrew held Lily and went upstairs.
Feeling that his body was moving, Lily suddenly opened her eyes. When she saw the person whom she was familiar with, she closed her eyes again and even shrank into the arms of Andrew
Andrew smiled silently with doting eyes. He could feel that she was vigilant and she also depended on him.
When they walked into the bedroom to the bedside, Andrew bent over and gently placed her on the bed. When he was about to stand up, she grabbed his hand. "No..."
"I won't go." Patting her on the back with the other hand, he explained softly, "I just want to cover quilt."
"No, don't do that..." The dazed Lily didn't know what she was talking about or what she was doing. She just didn't want the harbor which gave her a sense of security to leave, so she turned her body to hold Andrew's whole arm.
Seeing her like this, Andrew felt sorry for her. He reached out to brush the hair in front of her face and sighed slightly. Her frail appearance made people want to protect her under the wings.
After thinking for a while, he took off his shoes and lay beside her. Then he pulled the quilt over to cover them.
Andrew lay on his side. As soon as he lay down, Lily, who was still sleepy, slipped into his arms. She wrapped her arms tightly around his waist and buried her head in his chest.
He smiled and suddenly felt that it was good to have someone to rely on him like this.
He was so sleepy that he didn't sleep last night. Today he had just taken a nap, and then her condition became like this. Fortunately, she was now relieved.
When Lily woke up again, it was already in the evening. What she saw when she opened her eyes was a chest, and her hands were holding someone else's waist!
She was startled and let go of him immediately and sat up.
"You woke up?" Andrew was waken up by her action, and his voice was somewhat sleepy.
"Yes." Lily nodded and looked at them subconsciously. Then she found that their clothes were all right.
Andrew saw all her moves. He wanted to laugh, but he controlled himself.
"Are you feeling better?" He sat up and smoothed his hair.
Hearing that, Lily lowered her head and blushed. She finally remembered what had happened.
"Thank you." She thanked him in a low voice.
"Nothing." "You didn't let me go just now, so I had to sleep here with you," he said, patting her head
Andrew got out of bed as he spoke. "I'm going to wash my face and brush my teeth. And my clothes is not clean."
"Yes." Lily felt a little embarrassed and nodded.
He stood by the bed and looked at her for a while. He frowned unconsciously when he saw the red mark on her neck and chest. But in order not to let her find him, he looked away immediately and then turned and left.
After he left, Lily felt relieved. She felt embarrassed because she cried in his arms until she fell asleep.
Lily felt much better after venting her emotions. She got out of bed and went to the bathroom. The bathroom was clean. The broken mirror had been moved away.
At this time, Tina came in with a dress in her hand.
"Mom." Lily asked when she saw her.
Tina smiled and handed the dress to her. "I bought it with Uncle Kerr in the afternoon. And I have put the toiletries in the bathroom. Get familiar with it and have dinner downstairs."
"Okay." As soon as Lily took the clothes and saw the wound on Tina's hand, she felt guilty. "I'm sorry, mom."
"Nothing." Tina smiled and caressed her face lovingly, "I'm happy to see you all right."
"Yes." Lily nodded with red eyes.
"I'm going downstairs first. Kerr is cooking porridge in the kitchen. You haven't eaten anything for a day. It's good for your stomach."
Lily's eyes were filled with tears. The happiest thing in her life was to feel her mother's selfless and fearless love.
After washing herself simply and changing her clothes, Lily went downstairs. As soon as she came to the living room, she saw Kerr come out of the kitchen with a bowl of porridge in his hands.
"That's good. Come here and have some porridge first."
She smiled and walked over, "Thank you, uncle Kerr."
"I've told you that you don't have to be so polite. Every time you say thanks to me, I feel very embarrassed." He joked as he put the bowl of porridge in front of her.
"Sizz..." Lily couldn't help laughing. She liked his sense of humor very much. "Well, I'll say thank you later, uncle."
"You naughty girl." He patted her head with a smile. "Have some porridge now. We'll have dinner when Andrew come back."
"Is he out?" Lily asked.
"Yes." Kerr nodded, "I don't know why he went out. He said he would be back soon."
