“The current is too swift down there. It leads to the Black Sea and Sea of Soul. We cannot get down there from here.”
Huo Yunshen tried hard to control himself while comforting his wife. “Qingyu already sent a submarine team to search from the mouth of the Black Sea to the upstream portion of the river. But they found nothing so far.
“Jing Xi, perhaps we should not cling to the fake hope any longer. It’s time to face the truth.
“Little Apple will never come back. We can only wish him to be free from sorrow and pain in heaven.
“If there is a next life, hope he will be born into a normal family and lead a normal life.”
Huo Yunshen covered his eyes upon finishing these words. It was indeed heartbreaking to lose their baby.
“Honey…” Jing Xi wailed in Huo Yunshen’s arms.
Poor Little Apple, mommy and daddy will never see you again.
Seeing them crying in each other’s arms by the cliff, Ye Xun and Huo Sanyan could not hold back their tears either.
The loss would probably be haunting them for a long while.
Some pains were inconsolable.
Coming out of the canyon, Jing Xi promised her husband that she would stay strong for him and their children.
What else could she do?
Life had to carry on.
When they came home, her mother had already prepared the dinner and invited Su Wanqin over.
Su Wanqin was also suffering from the loss of her younger son. She and Jing Xi were both in the most profound grief.
And they could understand each other the most.
Perhaps because Jing Xi had been so heartbroken, she could no longer breastfeed her baby since they’d left the hospital.
She tried various stimulators in vain.
Her grandfather Jing Huaduo checked on her and said it was due to the inconsolable pain of losing her baby.
Once the lactation was suppressed, it would be extremely hard for it to come back again.
The poor Little Grape was starving and crying without breastfeeding.
Huo Yunshen tried to feed him with baby formula. But the determined Little Grape would rather starve himself than take that bottled formula.
Out of desperation, the couple had to hire a wet nurse at a high salary to breastfeed Little Grape every day.
The wet nurse was called Yao Zheng, a 26-year-old. She was from Linshi and had just given birth to a baby not long ago. Her husband had been injured in construction work so she had to take on the burden of providing for the family.
Huo Yunshen and Jing Xi had an interview with her and found this young mother to be a reliable person. This fair woman was very healthy and well educated. So they decided to hire her.
They paid her thirty thousand per month so that she could balance between taking good care of her own family and feeding Little Grape.
Little Grape was back to breastfeeding and grew up healthier and stronger.
Jing Xi was taken good care of by her family and was also recovering quickly.
Although her physical health did recover, her broken heart was no longer reparable.
…
Time flew.
Little Grape was two months old now. The handsome little boy was a comfort to everyone.
Jing Xi spent all her time and energy on raising Little Grape.
She had already finished one sweater, but failed to continue halfway through the second one.
