"It's not me, but your eyes have left a deep impression on me. You are the first person I've met who did not mind my child and me being dirty since I brought my child to wander around for so long. That's why I remember your eyes. In fact, I've always wanted to find you and thank you. I thought I wouldn't have the chance, but I did not expect to meet you again."
Ding Xiaomei's eyes could not help but redden when she mentioned the incident where the two of them met at the train station. "Doctor, thank you very much. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid that my child might not even be alive right now. He's so young, but he was scared that I would worry, so he did not even dare cry out in pain. "
When she mentioned her child, a trace of gentleness appeared on Ding Xiaomei's face. "I've been living in pain every day for the past few years." My child has left me with only one ray of light. Even though I hate the child's father and family, I love my child very much. My child is also very sensible and loves me very much."
Ding Xiaomei said, "When he got a little older, whenever that man punched and kicked me, he would rush up and protect me with his tiny body. When he saw that I was tied up, he would feed me water, steal food for me to eat, fetch water to wash my hands, and help comb my hair. He would hug me and tell me to bear with it. He said that he would help me to escape when he's all grown up. And that he would earn money to support me.
"When the weather was cold, he would go next door to ask for a cup of hot tea for me. Then, he would carefully carry the hot cup back to me. It was so hot that his little palm was so red that he could not bear to let go. He was so silly; he was afraid that the water would be cold if he let go."
When Ding Xiaomei talked about her child, she had a lot to say. It was not until she finally realized that she had said too much that she smiled embarrassedly and explained, "I just want you to know how important my child is to me. I want you to know how much I owe you for helping me. I know you are wary of me. After all, Ding Xionghe is my biological father. That's why I left my son with the army. That way, you might have more faith in me."
