Both children collapsed one after the other. Their complexions turned pale without warning. The two children seemed to be shivering. Perspiration appeared on their foreheads.

Yu Lili panicked when she saw that and said to Ou Ming, “The two children don’t seem to be well. I’m going to take a look.”

“OK,” Ou Ming said.

Yu Lili walked over with quick steps. At the same time, a woman in her 30s suddenly screamed out, “Nana! Lili!”

The lady came running over to the two young girls. Yu Lili stopped in her tracks and observed them.

The woman looked at Yu Lili. Her eyes were red and full of panic. She begged, “Miss, could you please help me? My daughters have congenital diabetes. I need to rush them over for their insulin shot.”

Yu Lili strode up quickly and said, “You didn’t give them their shot beforehand? Hurry, I’ll help you carry one. Let’s go together!”

The woman nodded her head. She scooped up one of the girls into her arms and ran ahead. Yu Lili helped carry the other child and followed after the woman.

Ou Ming heard Yu Lili’s footsteps and voice disappear into the distance, leaving him alone on the bench. He felt a little uneasy.

With his hands resting on his thighs, Ou Ming remained at the spot listening to the children’s laughter and old people’s chatter from all around. For some reason, his mood wasn’t as good as it had just been a while before.

As Ou Ming then learned, the same environment without that person elicited a totally different feeling.

After the two children were sent into the emergency room, their mother was so scared she started pacing up and down.

Yu Lili tried to console her. “It’ll be fine. Don’t worry too much. Little kids have good karma. They’ll be fine.”

The children’s mother was initially still collected. When she heard Yu Lili’s words, she burst into tears. “It’s all my fault! If I hadn’t given birth to them, they wouldn’t have to suffer this way now!”

Yu Lili got mad and found herself thinking that this woman was detestable indeed. She held back the consolation that she had intended to give and said, “You can’t reason it that way. Children are a blessing regardless. Medical science is so advanced now. There are ways to cure diabetes.”

“You don’t understand... Their father refused to allow me to give birth to them. They had been conceived unexpectedly, so I took birth control pills for the following few days...” the woman trailed off.

Yu Lili was shocked when she heard that and asked, “And, this is the aftereffect?”

The woman nodded her head as her eyes welled with tears. “I brought them with me to the hospital to visit my father and obtain more insulin. But, I forgot the time. It’s all my fault.”

Yu Lili patted her shoulder and said, “It’ll be fine.” Other than this sentence, Yu Lili found herself incapable of saying anything else. Who would have thought that the aftereffects could be so severe?

Approximately 10 minutes later, they were notified that the children were doing fine. Both Yu Lili and the children’s mother heaved a sigh of relief.

Yu Lili bade the woman goodbye and returned to where she’d left Ou Ming waiting. Ou Ming was still there. He hadn’t left, and he hadn’t moved either.

Yu Lili walked toward him and patted him gently on his shoulder. “I’m back,” she said.

“Alright.” The expression on Ou Ming’s face relaxed considerably. He held her hand and he asked, “How did it go?”

“The children are fine.” Yu Lili checked the time. “It’s dinner time. Are you hungry?”

“No wonder the crowd was dwindling.” Ou Ming stood up. “Come on, let’s go back. Have my parents handle the paperwork. Let’s go home.”
