Lin Qiao was stiff with worry. She didn't know what to do, but she knew that she shouldn't approach the child right now. All she could do was move two steps backward and try making the child react.
What she really wanted was to carry the child to the lake and get her to drink some more water.
She had taken a bath in that lake earlier on, and didn't know if the virus in her body had infected the water or not. However, she remembered that the child had drunk a tiny bit of lake water when she first came in, and no adverse effects seemed to have appeared so far. This proved that the water was safe.
When Lin Qiao stepped back, Wu Yueling's eyes suddenly sparkled. Surprisingly, those dull eyes of hers began brightening, and the fear and desperation in them seemed to be magically fading away, albeit marginally so. Then, she looked at Lin Qiao with curiosity.
