When General Li returned from the Imperial Palace, a maid informed him that his daughter was having a very high fever and was currently unconscious.
With a panicked face, he ran to Li Rui's courtyard.
Inside his daughter's room, he saw Yi Jie sitting on the edge of the bed with teary eyes as she changed the wet cloth on Li Rui's forehead.
"Heng"
Yi Jie whispered when she raised her head and saw her husband standing at the door of the room.
General Li walked inside and stood beside his wife. Holding her hand, he silently comforted her and then looked at his unconscious daughter on the bed.
She was murmuring something as he could see her lips moving constantly.
General Li left his wife's hand and leaned down to hear what Li Rui was murmuring only to have his body completely stilled after he registered her words in his mind.
"Li Zhan…Li Zhan…Li Zhan…"
Yi Jie knew what her husband had heard.
