Chapter 95 - Promise. (2/2)

Lei Zhao tossed the phone onto the bed before raking his fingers through his hair, his back facing Yan Mei.

Yan Mei noticed his tension and called him.

”Hey,… it's everything okay?” Lei Zhao stiffened for a second before he relaxed and turned around.

”If something urgent came up, you should go.” Yan Mei said softly.

Lei Zhao walked towards her. He plopped on the bed and scooped her into his laps.

”Nothing is more important than you, Love.”

Yan Mei flushed and nodded slightly.

”Now, let's get you cleaned up.” Lei Zhao said as he hugged her from the bed.

Yan Mei threaded her arms around his neck. Her legs were tightly around his waist as he brought them to the bedroom.

After Lei Zhao finished bathing Yan Mei and dressing her up, he laid her gently on the bed.

”Rest. I will let Ye Xing bring you medicine.” He said as he planted a kiss on her forehead.

Yan Mei weakly nodded.

Lei Zhao gazed at her for a few seconds, ”Go, I will not die if you leave me for a couple of minutes.”

Yan Mei teased.

Lei Zhao frowned, ”Don't joke about dying.”

Yan Mei did an okay sign since she was getting weaker now. Her eyes lids were getting heavier by the seconds.

Lei Zhao sighed and left to call Ye Xing to bring medicine and also request his mother to bring soup for her.

”Mom..”

Lei Zhao said the moment Lei Xiao Tong picked up the call.

”Lei Zhao, what's wrong?” Lei Xiao Tong asked when she heard the tiredness evident in his tone.

”Mom, can you prepare soup for XiaoMei? She is not feeling well.” Lei Zhao commented softly.

”What?! Why—what happened?” Lei Xiao Tong asked, concern thick in her voice.

”She has a fever, mom.”

Öh! Alright, I will bring it as soon as possible.”

”Thanks, mom.”

Lei Zhao said as he hung up the call and strode towards the bedroom.

He leaned on the door as he stared at Yan Mei, who had fallen asleep. A soft hand seems to touch her heart.

A soft smile tugged at the corners of his lips, but that smile melted and congealed into a frown as he remembered something.

He felt someone in their bedroom last night, but when he woke up, there was no one there, and there was no sign of a break-in.

But Lei Zhao's conscience was nagging him that someone was in the room. But who?

The person must be very powerful since he could barely detect his presence. 'Was the person a friend or foe?'

Lei Zhao rubbed the back of his neck. He made a mental note to increase the security in the house.

He can't risk putting her life in danger!

He joined her on the bed by lying down beside her.

”Lei Zhao?” Yan Mei mumbled when she felt his presence.

”Did I wake you up? Sorr-”

She interrupted his words as she opened her droopy eyes. Lei Zhao felt she looked cute.

She moved closer to him and threw her legs over him.

She placed her head on his chest as Lei Zhao wrapped his arms around her.

Yan Mei smiled in content as she listened to the rhythm of her heartbeat.

A few minutes later, he felt her chest rising and down.

Lei Zhao's features softened.

”I Love You.” He whispered, but of course, Yan Mei didn't reply. She was sleeping.
