The Mu residence felt a lot quieter after Wang Hui passed away.
Xi Xiaye could sense a stifling atmosphere that made it difficult to breathe when she entered the living room.
Thud!
The sound of heavy footsteps came from the staircase, so she looked over and noticed Mu Lingshi coming down. Her red eyes seemed swollen from all the crying while her expression was pale and she looked exhausted.
Worried, Xi Xiaye quickly went over and held her arm. "You look terrible. Maybe you shouldn't move around too much. I'll help you back to your room to get some sleep. Be mindful of the baby inside you as you'll affect it if you don't rest well."
Mu Lingshi shook her head as she sobbed. Her voice became so hoarse that it sounded different than usual. "I'm fine. I can't sleep. I see Grandmother's face as soon as I close my eyes. She's in pain, but she couldn't say anything...Weren't things supposed to get better? Why did this happen?"
