Suddenly, the door was silently opened.
The two women by the bed stood up in unison, thinking a guest had arrived.
They looked towards the door, but before they could make sense of what they saw, they felt a numbness on their necks.
Reaching up, they felt a needle.
They attempted to scream, but the numbing sensation quickly spread to their brains. Their eyes rolled back and with two thumps, they fell to the ground.
Ye Xingbei tilted her head, forcing her eyes open to look towards the door.
Soon, she found herself enveloped in a familiar embrace.
Gu Junzhu lowered his head to kiss her, "It's okay, it's okay, I'm here."
I'm here...
Those were probably the most comforting words Ye Xingbei had ever heard.
She could no longer hold on. Her eyes slowly closed and she finally allowed herself to pass out.
