Gan Yuan glanced sideways, opened her mouth, but in the end, she didn’t make a sound.
Previously, she had pleaded with Huangfu Jue on Moses’s behalf several times; this time, she couldn’t bring herself to speak to Huangfu Jue anymore.
With Moses’s abilities, dealing with this kind of situation would definitely not be an issue, and Huangfu Jue’s men wouldn’t be able to catch him. Now, Gan Yuan only hoped that Moses would leave A Country swiftly under this pressure.
The car drove into the Royal Palace. Not waiting for the car to come to a complete stop, Gan Yuan had already pushed open the door and jumped out, sprinting all the way to the master bedroom on the third floor.
Upon opening the door and seeing Leng Xiaoye rise from the couch, she quieted her footsteps.
"Queen... Your Majesty," Leng Xiaoye said softly.
"He’s inside," Leng Xiaoye spoke in a low voice.
Gan Yuan tiptoed through the living room and gently pushed open the door to the children’s room. Using the light from the hallway, she could clearly see the little one peacefully sleeping on the pillow.
As she approached his bed, she adjusted the corner of the blanket for him and carefully tucked Gan Tang’s little foot, which had slipped out of the blanket, back in. She gently wrapped his tiny hand in hers and brought it to her lips for a gentle kiss.
The little one’s wounds had mostly healed. The injury on his arm was still wrapped in fabric, but the plaster on his palm had been removed, leaving several dark red scabs on his tender skin.
In the dim light, those scabs looked like ugly little strips lying on his delicate hand.
Gan Yuan stroked the rough scabs with a frown and sighed.
Leng Xiaoye turned to look at her son who followed her into the room.
"What happened?" she asked.
Huangfu Jue shook his head slightly; in fact, he didn’t know the full extent of what had happened even now.
"It’s late. You should rest first," he suggested.
Gan Yuan didn’t look well, and it was obvious she didn’t wish to discuss these matters any further. He didn’t want to force her.
Leng Xiaoye, sensing something was amiss, did not press further.
"It’s late, so stay in the Royal Palace tonight. We can talk about anything else tomorrow," Leng Xiaoye said.
After watching Gan Yuan and Gan Tang for a moment at the doorway, she turned and headed back to her room.
Moving quietly to Gan Yuan’s side, Huangfu Jue raised his hand to her shoulder.
Gan Yuan turned to him, "Tonight, I want to sleep with him."
"Alright," Huangfu Jue said as he bent down to kiss her forehead, "I’ll sleep in Xiao Jue’s room next door. Call me if you need anything."
The bed in the children’s room was too small for three people, and given her current state, Huangfu Jue also wasn’t at ease leaving her to sleep alone in the Eastern Wing.
After helping her take off her coat, Huangfu Jue carefully settled her next to Gan Tang, covered both of them with a thin blanket, and bent down again to soothingly stroke her hair.
"Get some good rest, I’m right next door!" he reassured her.
Gan Yuan nodded, lowering her lashes, and he quietly stepped out. Instead of going to sleep, he went to the corridor to ask Helen about the specifics of the situation.
Helen couldn’t provide a clear explanation either, but she briefly recounted what she knew to him.
"The window on the 33rd floor is broken. She must have jumped down from up there," she said.
Huangfu Jue’s brow twitched at the thought; from such a high floor, the consequences would be unimaginable if someone intended to jump. Even now, knowing she was unharmed, his heart still skipped a beat.
"Seal all airports, docks, and stations..." he took a light breath, his tone as cold as the depths of winter, "I will not allow him to escape!"
Helen and Will responded at the same time and turned to descend the stairs.
Turning back to gaze out at the deep night from the corridor window, Huangfu Jue slowly clenched his fist.
