Chapter 381: Chapter 381

“You’re the one I’d trade my life for… You’re the one I’d trade my life for… These words echoed repeatedly in Heather’s mind.

A familiar scene appeared in her mind.

A man said to a woman, “You’re the one I’d trade my life for…” Was this a scene from a movie clip she had seen before? It was so pure and touching.

However, the feeling in her heart was as if she was watching someone else’s story.

She was touched by someone else’s story.

It was windy and a little cold.

Heather trembled slightly.

Lee immediately held Heather and said, “Let’s go back to the house.

We have to make sure you don’t catch a cold.” Heather did not seem to be disgusted by Lee’s action of holding her hand.

She found it magical.

More than ten years ago, she went out on a blind date.

The road was slippery which made her fall.

The man reached out to grab her but that made her feel uncomfortable.

She quickly avoided him and did not let him touch her.

If that was the case, why didn’t she feel that way now that Lee touched her? Why did she have a natural sense of trust in Lee? Was it because he was good-looking and not repulsive, or because she believed what he said that she might really be the mother of the two children? Lee helped Heather back to her room immediately after leaving the backyard.

“I can find a coat myself,” Heather said cautiously.

She did not dislike Lee, but she still felt uncomfortable when he appeared in her room.

from He quietly pinched himself to confirm that there was pain.

After confirming that this was not a dream and that the heavens had really answered his family’s prayer, he walked out with tears in his eyes.

“There’s no need to trouble yourself.

You don’t have to do that,” Heather immediately said.

Lee smiled gently.

“Don’t worry.

Go and put on more clothes.” He turned around and went to the kitchen to make some tea.

He grabbed some ginger and boiled some water.

The servant immediately came over and asked, “Sir, what are you doing? We can do it for you.” “No need.

You guys can rest.

I’ll do it myself.” Lee’s eyes were red, but his lips were curled into a smile.

He wanted to make a cup of tea for Heather personally, After missing out for 21 years, he wanted to make up for it all.

He wanted to be a part of every single bit of com poW He carefully cut the ginger piece by piece.

Heather added a jacket and realized that it was extremely hot.

Only then did she realize that the heater was already turned on.

She immediately took off her coat and sweater.

She felt much more comfortable wearing only one piece of clothing.

Annalise came over.

She looked at her mother and smiled.

“Here, I’ll perform the acupuncture on you.” “Okay,” Heather replied.

She looked at Annalise with politeness, gentleness, and a little hint of doubt.

Was she really her biological daughter? She had no impression of this child at all, but this child really looked like her in the past.

“Do I need to lie down?” she asked.

“Yes, please lie down,” Annalise said.

“Alright.” Heather immediately took off her shoes and lay on the bed.

Annalise quickly tucked her in.

A strange feeling flashed across Heather’s heart.

It was as if there was a warm yet indescribable feeling.

“Just relax.

It won’t hurt,” Annalise said with a smile.

This was her mother! The mother who loved her.

She couldn’t help but think of a saying, that a parent’s love for their child was never-ending.

If not for her mother’s careful consideration and using the shares to restrain her uncle, she would not have lived until now.

“Okay,” Heather replied.

Annalise pulled up Heather’s sleeve and gently lifted the blanket to pull up Heather’s clothes to reveal her stomach.

Then, she rolled up Heather’s pants.

After that, Annalise started performing acupuncture.

Annalise’s movements were precise and fast.

When she inserted the needles, Heather barely felt any pain.

However, when the needles were inserted, she felt a little sore.

She endured the first few needles, but later on, she felt that each needle was more swollen than the last.

She couldn’t help but whisper, “I’m a little sore.” Annalise smiled.

“This is normal.

Please bear with it.” Heather had many blocked meridians in her body which caused her to be weak.

That was the reason why she felt sore during the acupuncture.

“Okay.” Heather was relieved to hear that it was normal.

Soon, she began to feel sleepy.

She asked, “I’m a little sleepy.

Can I fall asleep?” “Yes, feel free to do so.

Just relax and sleep.” Annalise’s heart ached.

Over the years, Heather’s body had been extremely weak.

She had many clogged meridians which caused a lack of positive energy.

She also had weak liver and stomach functions.

Because of this, she had trouble sleeping at night.

As days went on, it became a vicious cycle.

After a few seconds, Heather fell asleep.

She had no idea how long she was asleep.

Soon, she began to dream again.

Just like before, she dreamed of some strange scenes.

She dreamed that she was working in restaurant that was full of foreigners.

She also dreamed that she was studying and taking exams with them.

Everyone in the dream was laughing and chatting happily.

One day, one of the customers was harassing her and pushed her to a corner… “Let me go, let me go!”

Heather waved her hands desperately.

“Wake up!” Annalise immediately shouted.

She quickly shook Heather’s body to try to wake her up.

When Heather woke up, she still had lingering fears.

It felt a little embarrassing.

She had had these dreams of taking exams and that restaurant many times before.

The thought of taking exams and being a waitress made her anxious.

Therefore, every time she had these dreams, she would feel exhausted.

Even though she had a full night’s of sleep, she would still wake up tired.

In the end, she would have to take naps to make up for it.

“Did you just have a dream?” Annalise asked.

Because of her weak liver functions, it was difficult for her to get a good sleep./ “Yes,” Heather replied.

Annalise took her pulse and asked, “Do you dream often?” “Yes,” Heather replied.

Annalise said, “You should do some exercises to help strengthen your body.” “But I can’t quite run.

I get out of breath easily whenever I try to exercise.” Heather said.

“You don’t have to do anything strenuous.

Just do some simple stretching.

I’ll give you a tutorial,” Annalise said.

“Okay,” Heather replied.

At this moment, Lee held a cup in one hand and knocked on the door with the other.

He asked, “Can I come in?” For some reason, Heather felt a little relieved when she heard Lee’s voice.

She said politely, “Yes.” When Annalise saw her father enter, she stood up and said, “I’ll go prepare some medicine for you first.” “Okay, sorry to trouble you,” Heather said politely.

After Annalise left, only Lee and Heather were left in the room…
