During the night, Lu Nanfeng felt the woman in his arms begin to stir. Not because she had woken up, but because of a nightmare.
"No... No... I don't, don't want to die again..."
Her voice was low and full of despair and panic as she spoke, sweat was beading on her forehead and soaking her pajamas.
Lu Nanfeng was instantly awake. What did she mean did not want to die again?
"Please... No more... Don't kill me again..." her whimper continued, and Lu Nanfeng felt his heart clench. Kill her again?
What exactly had happened to this woman in the past? And why was she so sure that she had died once before?
Lu Nanfeng leaned down to wake her gently, and He Lixue felt the arms approaching her, and she clung onto the arms with all her might.
"I don't want to go back... Don't make me go back..."
The more she spoke, the more solemn Lu Nanfeng's expression became. It seemed that the woman truly had some secret that she could not share with him yet.
