Closing his eyes seemed to enhance his awareness of everything around him.
He appeared so peaceful, curled up like a harmless baby deep in slumber.
His face was pale, his body shivering, and his brow deeply furrowed. Mo Ran knew he was in agony, probably lost in an endless darkness and unconsciousness.
Even without Gu Yixuan saying anything, she understood that she shouldn’t disturb him, not even make a sound.
At this moment, he was like a balloon stretched to its limit, all she could do was let him be, silently and undisturbed, for any external stimulus could make him explode, could make him break down.
Barely breathing, Mo Ran also lay on the carpet, watching him without blinking.
Gu Yixuan, I’m here, I will always be with you...
Day had already broken, and the grandmother had prepared breakfast. Seeing that the two of them had not come down yet, she glanced up but didn’t intend to disturb them.
She knew the rules; unless there was something special, she would never go upstairs to disturb them.
The doorbell rang, causing her to frown in confusion.
Who could it be this early?
Opening the door, Gao Zhenzhen stormed into the living room like she owned the place, her voice filled with concern, "Where’s Xuan? I predicted he’d have a withdrawal today. Where is he now?"
The grandmother knew about this issue, so she wasn’t surprised.
"You’re saying the young master will have an episode today?"
"Exactly. It’s definitely today. Is he upstairs? I’ll go check on him."
"Hey," the grandmother hastily stopped her, "Miss Gao, they haven’t gotten up yet. It’s quiet upstairs; I think the episode hasn’t happened yet. Please, take a seat. I’ll pour you a cup of tea."
Gao Zhenzhen frowned slightly, "Step aside. I won’t be at ease until I see he’s alright. That’s his character; he would rather grit his teeth and endure it. Unless it’s too painful, he won’t make a sound. Hmph, it’s all because he doesn’t want to worry that slut Mo Ran that he doesn’t show it. He never hid his headaches from me before."
As soon as she started insulting Mo Ran, the grandmother felt displeased. In her eyes, Mo Ran was more of a proper lady.
She never cursed, never hurt anyone, was gentle in temperament, yet also had a strong side. Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on novᴇlfire.net
"Miss Gao, since you’re worried, why don’t I go upstairs and check?"
"No need! I can do it myself!" The thought of Mo Ran and Gu Yixuan still in bed together made Gao Zhenzhen furious.
