Chapter 160 - Chapter 160: Help Her Bathe (2) (2/2)
Anhao leaned against the bathtub proudly and started humming a song. Hearing the girl’s proud laughter and singing coming from the bathroom, Zuo Hancheng lowered his eyes and glanced at her wet pants that were splashed when he helped her bathe. He then looked at a certain part of her body that was already in extreme pain. He turned around and said in the direction of the bathroom with an ugly expression,””lf you dare to be arrogant again, do you believe that I will tie you to the bed and directly do you?”
Anhao immediately stopped talking.
She believed that Zuo Hancheng would do it.
If he really tied her to the bed, she wouldn’t need to do anything. She wouldn’t need to move at all. He would definitely do as he said.
She was quiet and didn’t dare to make a sound. She was just holding back her laughter and sitting quietly in the water. The warm water around her made her feel much more comfortable. She closed her eyes and leaned back slightly, enjoying this moment of peace.
It was also because he was in an absolutely quiet space again that he recalled all the despair he felt in the dark washroom that day. Finally, when there was no one around him, he could put down all his smiles and quietly close his eyes, silently licking the faint pain in his heart.
Gu Anhao, everything is over. Life is getting better and better day by day. Don’t be shrouded in the shadows of the past.
After continuously cheering herself on, she forced a smile. However, when there was no one around, she realized that even a smile was so powerless.
Late at night.
Anhao, who was finally able to take off the cervical spine treatment device before she went to sleep, fell asleep under Zuo Hancheng’s unsatisfied gaze.
At two o’clock in the morning, Zuo Hancheng turned off the computer that contained important documents from the company and put it aside. He turned his head to look at Anhao who was sleeping soundly beside him. Seeing that she was sleeping soundly and seemed to be in peace, he turned off the dim yellow light at the bedside.
Darkness, darkness, everything was dark on the wall…
Let me out… I’m so scared…
Uncle… Brother… Save me…
Mother… Save me…Mother… Save me…
Let me out… I don’t want to be locked up here… Let me out…
The small figure curled up in the dark space, shivering. She could not hear any sound, as if she was isolated in a different space. Despair and horror invaded her fragile nerves.
Memories of when she was five years old flooded her mind. Anhao opened her eyes abruptly, her entire body drenched in sweat. She had almost screamed in her dream. Fortunately, she had been habitually enduring it these days and did not let anyone notice the aftereffects of her claustrophobia.
She lay quietly on the bed with a pale face. She slowly turned her head and saw that Zuo Hancheng’s eyes were closed quietly. His sleeping face was calm. He must not have been woken up by her rapid breathing due to fear.
She carefully turned her back to him as tears fell from her eyes.
She couldn’t remember how many days it had been. Ever since she woke up in the hospital, she would wake up in such a nightmare almost every night. Her dreams were filled with terrifying darkness, making her return to the two days of fear when she was five years old every day. She was immersed in those fears and despair, crying non-stop in her dreams.
Behind her, Zuo Hancheng’s breathing was steady. She did not want to disturb anyone. She had already troubled others time and time again.
Zuo Hancheng had helped her too much and she did not want to bother him anymore. She did not want him to worry so even though she could not sleep well every night, she had hidden it well in the hospital.
But now, she was sleeping next to him. She was afraid that she would be woken up by a nightmare, so she instinctively urged herself to open her eyes.
Fortunately, she did it. Fortunately, she did not scream…
However, just as Anhao closed her eyes and tried to fall asleep again, the man who had been sleeping quietly behind her slowly opened his eyes. There was no sign of sleepiness in his eyes. He turned his head slightly and looked at the person who was hiding all her weaknesses in the darkness with her back to him..
