However, half a day and an entire night had passed. When Lu Shijia looked at Ruan Qingwan, he felt that Ruan Qingwan had lost a lot of weight in an instant. Furthermore, he saw that Ruan Qingwan had grown quite a few strands of white hair on her head.

Lu Shijia was even a little worried that Ruan Qingwan would fall anytime.

Frowning, Lu Shijia subconsciously took light steps forward, walked up to Ruan Qingwan and whispered: ”Mom, are you okay? Is there something wrong? I'll call the doctor. ”

Just that, before the number in Lu Shijia's hand could be dialed out, he heard a voice calling out to him. Ruan Qingwan spoke out and interrupted it: ”No need to call for a doctor, I'm fine.”

As Ruan Qingwan spoke, her unfocused gaze finally moved away from the tea table in front of her and recovered some of her focus before landing on Lu Shijia.

Although Lu Shijia was still a little worried, but seeing that Ruan Qingwan was so persistent, she kept her phone and said: ”Alright, then I will not call a doctor.”

After crying for an entire night, Ruan Qingwan's voice was already completely hoarse, and it was difficult for her to even utter a single word.

When Lu Shijia heard Ruan Qingwan's hoarse and coarse voice, her slightly knit eyebrows immediately furrowed even deeper. She felt sorry for herself and hurriedly called out, ”Nanny Wang?”

Just as Lu Shijia spoke out, Ruan Qingwan's hoarse voice interrupted her speech: ”Nanny Wang didn't sleep last night, I gave her a day of leave, and let her go back to her own house to rest.”

When Ruan Qingwan went out this morning, she saw Nanny Wang standing guard outside her room. She knew that Lu Shijia and the others were worried about her, so she made sure that she stayed there to recuperate.

Only after hearing what Ruan Qingwan said, did Lu Shijia remember. She then said to Ruan Qingwan: ”Mom, sit here for a while.”

Lu Shijia said as he quickly entered the kitchen. Five minutes later, Lu Shijia came out with a cup of hot milk.

After passing the warm milk that he had cooked himself in front of Ruan Qingwan, Lu Shijia said: ”Mom, you didn't eat anything yesterday. First, drink a cup of milk to warm your stomach, I've already let the kitchen boil the chicken porridge that you like.

Ruan Qingwan took the warm milk and drank a few mouthfuls. Then, she placed it on the tea table in front of her and turned her gaze back to Lu Shijia.

Their eyes met.

The mother and son looked at each other in silence like that for nearly a minute. Only then did Lu Shijia hear Ruan Qingwan's hoarse voice break the silence, and she said slowly, word by word: ”Shijia, I've been thinking so much for this entire day and night.”

When Lu Shijia heard Ruan Qingwan's words, his heart instantly jumped into his throat. He was a little worried that Ruan Qingwan would continue to be stubborn after thinking about the conclusion he came to after an entire day and night.

Without waiting for Lu Shijia to think further, Ruan Qingwan continued: ”Shi Jia, what you said is correct. We cannot take out any evidence right now, so continuing like this has no meaning at all, and will only make ourselves more miserable.”

As he spoke, Ruan Qingwan paused for a moment. A hint of pain flashed across her deathly pale face, and then, in the next second, she continued. ”I've been thinking of catching the killer earlier, but I ignored your dad. It's been half a month and your dad is still lying inside the freezer. He must be cold, and he'll definitely blame me.”

With that said, Ruan Qingwan's ten fingers tightened into a fist, and her eyes uncontrollably flushed red again.
