In the Mo family’s villa.
Lu Manman did not leave.
She had promised to evade, not to leave.
Hence, she returned to her room and closed the door.
She sat on the balcony that was connected to the Mo family’s luxurious garden. There was a comfortable reclining chair on the balcony, and she lay down on it. The garden was huge, with green grass growing everywhere. It was fully equipped and was a comfortable place to be at.
Her eyes flickered as she looked at the flowing water, and she pursed her lips.
Twenty minutes later, the Mo family returned to the villa.
It was very quiet in the villa. All the servants waited respectfully and then looked at Mo Li’s pale face.
Mo Li had been snuggled into Mo Yuanxiu’s arms since they got back from the hospital. He was the one who carried her upstairs and placed her gently on the bed.
Mo Li seemed unwilling to leave his arms and tightened her grip on the corner of his shirt.
He pursed his lips. “Xiao Li, you need to rest now.”
“Brother, can you accompany me for a while?” Mo Li asked, her dark eyes sparkling with anticipation.
Before Mo Yuanxiu could say anything, Jiang Yuyan hurriedly said, “Ah Xiu, why don’t you accompany her? Otherwise, her thoughts might run wild.”
“Okay.” Mo Yuanxiu nodded.
Mo Li smiled through her tears.
As she smiled, she seemed to recall something painful, and her eyes turned red as if she was about to cry at any moment.
“Don’t cry. Be a good girl.” He comforted her gently.
Mo Li held back her tears as she looked at him, pure and clear.
He sat beside her.
When Mo Kun and Jiang Yuyan saw how quiet Mo Li was, their emotions went out of control. They turned to look at Mo Yuanxiu, who was accompanying her, and heaved a sigh of relief. Jiang Yuyan said, “Xiao Li, rest more. Dad and Mom are leaving first. Call me if you need anything, alright?”
“Mm-hm.” Mo Li nodded.
Because of Mo Li, they had been tormented since seven in the morning. Now, they returned to their room after a thrilling morning to take a good rest.
The two of them left Mo Li’s room, but she continued to hold on to Mo Yuanxiu’s hand.
“Sleep for a while,” he said.
“I can’t sleep. I feel like I’ve been sleeping the whole day. But I didn’t want Dad and Mom to worry, so I had to lie quietly in bed,” Mo Li said with a smile, feeling much better.
He nodded. “Then, I’ll accompany you for a while.”
“Thank you, Brother.”
“Xiao Li.” Mo Yuanxiu looked at her pure face, and his voice deepened. “You’re twenty years old this year, right?”
“That’s right.”
“You’re not young anymore,” he said.
“Mm-hm.” Mo Li nodded obediently.
“Don’t be too willful. You should be more sensible,” he said calmly.
“Does Brother think that I’m insensible?” Mo Li’s eyes went red, and her nose went a little red. “I don’t want to make Dad and Mom worry. If Daisy hadn’t died all of a sudden, I wouldn’t have had a relapse. I’ve already tried very hard to maintain a happy mood, and I’ve been working very hard to take care of my health. If I had a choice, I’d rather be a normal person.”
He looked at her rising emotions, and his thin lips tightened. “Alright, I understand.”
“Brother, will you despise me for being a burden to this family?” Mo Li asked him deeply.
“No,” he said directly.
Mo Li smiled through her tears and tightened her grip on his hand as if she was clutching at a life-saving straw.
