Only then did Li Junyu finally put the girl down expressionlessly.

Ruan Mengmeng had not even steadied her footing when the man’s deep and mesmerizing voice hurried her from behind. “Go inside.”

He was standing right behind her, both his hands pressed against the door.

This way, he stealthily trapped the girl between his arms.

Ruan Mengmeng was so embarrassed that she turned red to the roots of her ears.

She was usually bold and brash, but in truth, aside from her childhood friend Mu Jingxing, she had never really interacted with guys before.

If she kept dawdling here, she might start acting even weirder. With that in mind, she pushed the door open herself and walked in.

Beyond the door was an extravagant European-style bedroom.

The grand and heavy curtain drapes blocked all light out of the room.

The crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling was not illuminated, either.

The only lighting in the room came from a pair of small wall lamps on either side of the bed.

A middle-aged man with a straight back sat next to the bed, looking at the person lying in it.

At the same time, there seemed to be a woman sleeping on the large and magnificent bed in the middle of the room.

Ruan Mengmeng approached it, one step at a time, growing closer and closer.

The closer she was, the better she could see.

“Beep-beep, beep-beep…” She suddenly heard the beeping from the medical machinery.

That was when she finally saw how many tubes were sticking out of the woman’s body.

In her memories, her mother had a face as beautiful as an angel’s.

All her life, she had heard many people say she looked just like her mother.

However, Ruan Mengmeng knew that she was not even half as beautiful as her mother was.

Now, the woman lying ill on the bed was deathly pale and horribly weak, not a trace of rosiness to be found anywhere on her face.
