Min Yu went back to her and patiently covered her with the blanket properly. When he pulled his hands back, Huo Yao extended her hand, grabbed his palm, and held it at her chest. "Don't go."
She spoke softly like an abandoned child and sounded pitiful.
Min Yu tightened his grip on her. Even though he could not hear her clearly, he could guess what she was saying.
He sighed softly before sitting down by the bedside. He raised his head and said to the maid, "I'll leave after she falls asleep."
The maid simply nodded and quickly left the room.
They had the room to themselves finally.
Min Yu veered his eyes and looked at Huo Yao's face. She was frowning hard, so he used his other hand to smoothen her forehead.
After she had fallen asleep and stopped frowning, he finally pulled his hand back.

The next day, Huo Yao woke up first thing in the morning.
She looked at the ceiling and instantly went into a daze.
