C79 (1/2)

”Bring her out,” Wen Xuan immediately opened the door and called for someone to come in. ”Find an empty room, and look after her.”

Only when I was forced out by the two people who had called me in and locked myself in an empty ward did I finally believe that the person who had a cold look in his eyes that made the outside temperature look dwarfed was the Wen Xuan who had always treated me with gentleness.

I sat by the side of the sickbed, my heart was slowly being occupied by uneasiness, I wasn't worried that Wen Xuan would do anything to me.

Since Wen Xuan is willing to spend so much time and effort on my side, then he won't be able to easily throw me aside. What I am worried about is the Old Madame Deng, Wen Xuan's previous appearance was most likely done for Old Madame Deng to see, showing that he is not a soft-hearted person. But I'm afraid that the old lady really doesn't know anything. Wen Xuan didn't even try to force her to say it seriously, if he goes too far, I'm afraid of the old lady …

I immediately took out my phone to look for Xiao Chen. I told him that he had to think of a way to stop his, but then I remembered that there wasn't any signal from Xiao Chen, so I couldn't find his.

The room was on the first floor of the shady wing. Normally, there wasn't much light in the air, so before long, I was shivering with cold. I asked the two people who were watching me if they could let me go back.

In fact, I was only holding onto my last sliver of hope to return to Old Madame Deng's side.

The two of them are quite close to Wen Xuan, so they know how important I am. One of them immediately went out to find Wen Xuan, but the other looked at me who was crippled, I could not escape this situation.

After waiting for a while, the person came back. Wen Xuan told me to stay in the car. I couldn't go back, but at least there was a warm breeze, so I followed him to the car.

I spent an hour in a state of agitation. It was almost six o'clock in the morning. After a night of barely sleeping, the warm breeze in the car felt really comfortable. The nervousness within my heart, which was curled up on the back seat, was slowly knocked down. In the end, I still couldn't help but fall asleep.

After being frightened, my nightmares were unending. All the bloody and horrifying scenes that I had witnessed for the past twenty years were played in front of my eyes.

I still remember that time when Qi Yu and I were trapped in the cold storage room. After the refrigeration was activated, those memories of when we were about to freeze to death, those moments that made me feel so much despair, caused me to feel like dying once again.

I desperately tried to struggle free, but I still sunk deeper and deeper into the abyss.

I didn't know how long I had been in this state, but I finally heard a voice that I hadn't heard for a long time and pulled me back from my dream.

When I opened my eyes again, Wen Xuan was holding onto me tightly with a face full of fear. I still remembered how he was pulled out of the room just now.

”Alright, I'm fine now.”

Wen Xuan stroked my messy bangs and then forcefully pulled me into his arms.

I woke up and awkwardly struggled out of his arms.

It took me a long time to remember what it was like.

”As for the old lady …” I immediately asked Wen Xuan nervously.

Wen Xuan immediately retracted his gentle gaze, and coldly said that he had not made things difficult for the old man.

”...” ”But if she doesn't say anything, I can only …”

I then understood what Wen Xuan meant, he appeared here to ask me to persuade Old Madame Deng to give him the information he wanted.

The warmth in my head was fleeting, and I did have to wake up.

I lowered my head and faintly said, ”Alright …” ”I understand, I'll go now.”

Wen Xuan let the two people who were looking at me before help me up, and advised Lu Slippery to support me no matter what. Just as I walked out of Wen Xuan's line of sight, I immediately ditched the two sides to support her.

I lightly knocked on the door, afraid of scaring the old man by pushing it.

”Grandma, I'm back.”

I softly said before pushing open the door.

Old Madame Deng laid there without moving. I thought the old man was asleep and tried to quietly walk to her side to sit down.

”Girl …” Are you alright … ”

The old lady feebly squeezed out a sentence.

I also quickly replied, ”Yes! ”I'm fine, I've made you worry …”

”It's me who has made you worry …” The old man still struggled to speak, ”I know you're a kind child, and I also know that you won't harm anyone. In the end, this old bastard deserves to die …”

I interrupted the old man at once, saying it was unlucky of her to speak like that.

”What do you mean by lucky or unlucky? Even when death is at hand, you have to say it …”

After hearing this, even I started to sob in panic. Wen Xuan had gone a bit too far, forcing an old lady to such an extent. Furthermore, this old lady was Sister Qiu's only family member in this world. I hurriedly told the old man not to think too much and that nothing would happen.

”Little girl, come over here …”

Old Madame Deng tried her best to pull my hand away, but I quickly moved to the side of the old man's face.

”I, Old Madam Gu, have never left anything in my life, not even a family member!”

The old lady suddenly shouted, which shocked my ears a little, but the elder immediately changed his tone and whispered to me, ”There is a small metal box under the bed that you are sleeping on, in fact, has Shen Yu never contacted her home before …”

I have always envied that Sister Qiu had such shrewdness. Looking at it now, brains isn't something that can be learned only in the Pre-Sky Realm. Even the old lady who stayed in the countryside for almost her entire life in Sister Qiu's house …

At this moment, the old lady stopped and stared intently at the door.
