Chapter 684 (1/2)

Wei Guanyi stood in the doorway of the ith furrowed brow “Mr Xia, she is not in a stable condition; she’s just fallen asleep You can go in to see her, though”

Xia Lei nodded, and entered the ward

It was quiet in the ward Ning Jing lay on the bed in deep sleep, and did not wake up at Xia Lei’s arrival

Xia Lei’s gaze went to thearea There was an easel there, and an inco was of an European village with a church at its centre It had a tall, majestic domed roof, and around it were Roant, and sombre, deeply etched with the influence of the Church There was not one e, and no electric poles, nor large advertisement posters or the like There were soarb either, but in the garb of the Middle Ages

The inco featured a house to the side of the village Behind the house was a stretch of hills, and a river meandered past the foot of these hills There was a to on it

‘What is this place she’s painted?’ Xia Lei was confused ‘If it was a place she visited as a tourist, it’s not possible that there would be no e which has been perfectly preserved, there should be so has none of that Plus, she’s an archaeologist, not an artist I’ve never heard her saying that she enjoyed paintings, and haven’t ever seen her paint anything well, but she’s displayed an astonishi+ng ability to paint after she wentsees he’d just seen

‘She drew the Mona Lisa, a white, cloud-like being, six people with no faces, and a village fro to express?’ Xia Lei pondered

On the bed, Ning Jing’s eyes suddenly flew open

“It’s ” Xia Lei went to her bedside and asked in concern, “Are you all right?”

Ning Jing didn’t seem to have heard him She did not even look at hi

“Ning Jing?” Xia Lei called her na made no response She climbed out of bed, put her slippers on, and walked slowly to the easel She sat on the chair, took up the brush, and added colour to the painting She said nothing throughout this entire process, and didn’t even glance at Xia Lei He was right here in the roo before her eyes, but he was like air to her

What was going on?

Xia Lei stood next to Ning Jing and watched her every aze remained vacant as she painted; she ithout life It looked like her body was , but her soul had departed However, the shell of a hu She painted quickly, and made no mistakes

“You…” A question popped up in Xia Lei’s head, and he blurted, “Are you Ning Jing?”

Ning Jing did not turn around She continued painting

A few minutes later, she was done The incomplete house was complete, and a black-haired aze went to the black-haired obs had been in ancient European clothing, but this last black-hairedjeans and sports shoes He was a modern man!

Xia Lei looked at the black-haired man’s face It was quite small, and the lines of his face were not clear In that instant, his left eye twitched and activated his zooht into focus, and Xia Lei’s jaw dropped

Thewas none other than himself – Xia Lei!

“Just who in the world are you?” Xia Lei could not control his e by the shoulders and said anxiously, “Tellto say!”

“Nn…” A sound suddenly ca Her eyes, too, aze was dull, absent

“Ning Jing? You…” Xia Lei was filled with anxiety and worry

Just then, Ning Jing suddenly said, “Italy Bobbio You o there, and awaken me…”

Xia Lei was rooted to the spot in shock HisShe was here, in the sanatoriuo to Italy to wake her up!

Ning Jing abruptly fell to the floor with a whimper after the words left her lips It was as if all the strength had been sapped froht any longer

Xia Lei hurriedly stretched his hands out to hold her “Ning Jing! Ning Jing, wake up! Wake up!”

Ning Jing did not react

Xia Lei felt her pulse It was norer He then carried her to the bed and tucked her in

“Do you need me to help, Mr Xia?” Wei Guanyi’s voice came from beyond the doorway of the ward

“It’s fine Give me a little more time,” said Xia Lei

“Sure Call me if you need o round This Wei Guanyi had taken Xia Lei’swould not have been allowed visitors in the current state otherwise, much less be allowed to have a roo off the easel and put it into his briefcase He returned to her bedside and sat on it while holding Ning Jing’s hand Her hand was cold, without waro to Italy, Bobbio Is this the place in the painting? I will go there,” mumbled Xia Lei to himself “But you said to awaken you What do you ? Open your eyes if you are”

Ning Jing suddenly opened her eyes

Xia Lei was shocked “You…”
