The little one was tiny and she was so fragile. She cooed and reached out with her little arms, wanting to get closer to Irina. She pulled Irina out of her sadness forcefully and Irina was at loss over what to do at that moment.
She had almost never cared for a baby before. Amy was brought away shortly after she was born and she was already a well-behaved child when they were reunited.
Irina had no experience dealing with a little one that didn't know anything, couldn't speak and instinctively wanted to get closer to her.
The little one, who didn't get any response from Irina after waving her hands at her, began to press her lips together. She looked so aggrieved and tears were welling up in her eyes as though she was going to cry at any time.
"D-don't cry…" Irina quickly shook her head and pressed the little one to her. She caressed the little one's head gently.
