The two of them talked for over an hour before Senior Master Xiang was finally willing to let Gu Junzhu go.
Leaving the partitioned room and returning to the ward, the food that Xiao Shumiao and Gu Junzhu bought had already been put away. Lingyue had his eyes closed, as if he had fallen asleep again.
Xiao Shumiao was lying on her side next to him, her small hand gripping Lingyue's hand, she was soundly asleep.
Senior Master Gu and Gu Junzhu tread lightly, careful not to wake them up.
Gu Junzhu went to Ye Xingbei's side and whispered, "I'll stay awake, so you go and get some sleep."
Ye Xingbei had been vigilant since the moment the two children were saved, without a wink of sleep, her eyes had turned red from exhaustion.
Ye Xingbei was indeed too exhausted to continue.
Besides, since both children were safe now, she let her guard down, and drowsiness overcame her. She felt she could fall asleep at any moment.
