Chapter 630: Chapter 630 The Peace Rope is Broken (4)_1 Chapter 630: Chapter 630 The Peace Rope is Broken (4)_1 “Mom, Uncle Lu said there won’t be any scars, so please don’t be sad, okay?”

Shu Jiao almost couldn’t help shedding tears again when she saw her daughter still trying to cheer her up at such a time.

She nodded, touched Jiaojiao’s little head, and even though she couldn’t bring herself to smile, she said gently, “Jiaojiao, have a good sleep upstairs. Mommy will go deal with some things and then come back to stay with you, okay?”

After speaking, she also turned to Xiu Xi, “Xiaoxi, please take good care of Jiaojiao. Auntie will go downstairs first.” The more she spoke, the heavier her voice became, and her face completely turned cold and tense.

Xiu Xi nodded, although he didn’t say anything, his complexion wasn’t any better than hers, which left Doctor Lu beside him utterly baffled. In his view, such injuries really weren’t serious, especially for children who inevitably experience bumps and bruises.

But what he didn’t know was that, while bumps and scratches might be inevitable in other households, in the Ruan Family, Ruan Jiaojiao was absolutely shielded from such incidents. They doted on her like she was the apple of their eye, never allowing her to endure such hardship.

After Doctor Lu and Shu Jiao went downstairs, Ruan Jiaojiao went back to her room to lie down.

Xiu Xi helped her lie down, carefully propping the injured hand on a pillow underneath it.

Jiaojiao had originally planned to go upstairs to sleep, but now, with all this commotion, her head, initially feeling fuzzy, had become clear due to the pain.

She couldn’t sleep anymore and started to fumble her now bare wrist, feeling an inexplicable panic rising in her heart.

She didn’t dare show her vulnerability in front of Shu Jiao, not wanting to worry her even more, but now she could no longer conceal it. Her long eyelashes trembled violently as she asked Xiu Xi in a soft voice, “Xiaoxi, the Peace Rope broke, does that mean…”

“No, I’m here,” Xiu Xi interrupted her before she could finish, knowing what she wanted to say.

Ruan Jiaojiao fell silent, just lowering her eyelids.

After a two-second silence, she suddenly looked up at Xiu Xi and asked, “Xiaoxi, if my body is possessed again, will you be able to recognize me?”

“Yes,” Xiu Xi nodded, but repeated his assurance, “It won’t be taken over; nobody can do that.”

He crouched by her bed, bowing his head to let her see the seriousness in his eyes, “Don’t be afraid, if I say it won’t happen, it won’t. Trust me.”

Ruan Jiaojiao, seeing his solemn promise, felt her previously frantic heart begin to calm down gradually.

She nodded solemnly, “Okay, Xiaoxi, I trust you.”

“Go to sleep, I’ll watch over you.” Knowing that Ruan Jiaojiao was tired and uneasy and lacked a sense of security, Xiu Xi said gently as he sat by her bed, tightly holding her hand that was on the edge of the bed.

“Okay, just don’t leave, Xiaoxi,” Ruan Jiaojiao said a bit unsure before closing her eyes.

Xiu Xi did not respond, but the grip on her hand tightened slightly, as if telling her that he would always be there by her side.

Ruan Jiaojiao was indeed very tired, and overwhelmed with pain and fatigue, it didn’t take long after she closed her eyes for her to fall asleep.

Only after she had completely fallen into a deep sleep did Xiu Xi give Xiaobai, who had been hiding under the bed and was itching to come out, a nudge with his foot. Xiaobai immediately slid out and glanced at Ruan Jiaojiao’s wrist, wrapped in a bandage and still seeping traces of blood.

“Sssss…” Little Cutie is so pitiful.

Cocking its head, Xiaobai intended to lick Ruan Jiaojiao’s wrist with its snake tongue, but was stopped by Xiu Xi’s stern gaze, causing it to stiffen and retract its head. Then, with a vicious look in its eyes, it crawled out through the window.
