Jian Guozhi was on the bed in his chamber. He removed his upper garments and looked at his arm in the mirror. Though the doctor had treated it, he was still unsure if it was alright or not. The burning mark was itching him, making him feel uncomfortable. But unlike the earlier times, he was not feeling low. Instead, he was feeling good. For the first time, he stood against his mother! It was a great feeling for him.
He recalled after fighting with his mother, he finally got to the location of Hu Jingguo. Weng Wei had ordered her men to take him far from the Palace and burn him alive. Luckily, with the help of General Wang and General Xiao, he found Hu Jingguo. The promise that he had given to An-Ying Lili was fulfilled from his end.
He was lost in his thoughts when he heard the footsteps of someone. Immediately, he lifted his eyes and saw Xue Yu-Yan there. He knitted his brows and picked the white satin robe to wear, keeping the hand mirror on the mattress.
