When Bi Yuhan went inside, he saw that the room was super dark. He squinted his eyes to see a little clearly.
He walked towards that familiar aura and stood beside the bed. After switching on the bedside lamp he saw the pale face under the blankets.
Shocked, he instinctively put his hand on Mo Ling's forehead to check whether he's suffering from fever.
Her skin is cold to touch so it's definitely not a fever. He wanted to walk out and go to his room to call for the family doctor but he didn't know when Mo Ling clutched his sleeve tightly and didn't want to let go.
He silently looked at the frowning pale face and gently held her fingers to pull his sleeve out of her grip.
But before he could do that, he heard Mo Ling talking in her sleep in a very low voice. He slightly bent his body to get close to her lips and stopped a few inches away.
"Mom… Jack.." He now clearly heard what the kid was murmuring in his sleep.
Bi Yuhan narrowed his eyes at those words.
So this kid had a mom.. and who is this 'Jack' thing?

After Mo Ling drifted into sleep, she dreamt of her mother when she was a child. Her mother looks gentle on the surface but she's more heroic than most men in her nation.
She was a tough woman to her children not like most of the mothers who are loving towards their children.
When Mora was five, her mother started to train her. She trained alongside her older brother Jackson.
"Mora, you're weak." She resented her mother whenever she said those words.
She wanted to live like a normal girl. She wanted to be carefree like most girls.
When she was weak and struggling, her mother showed her an emotionless attitude. And when she became strong, all she saw was her mother's indifferent side.
Love and care when she was feeling weak.
Pride when she became strong. That's all Mora ever expected from her mother.
But gradually she became detached and turned blind to all the love and care behind her mother's emotionless facade.
Her mother felt hurt when she was hurt. Her mother felt pain when she was in pain.
But she kept a strong front always by burying all her feelings.
Because she had to become a backbone to her children and bear all the harm so that her children can be safe until they can defend themselves.
"Mora, listen to me.. when you're living in a forest you have to become a predator, otherwise you'll be prey to others."
Those are the last words she heard from her mother before they were separated.
Back then she didn't take those words seriously, so she just turned and left without looking back.
When she was dreaming, she smelled her mother's scent near her and she wanted to be close to it.
She followed the scent desperately but it got further.
Agitated, she opened her eyes suddenly only to see a silhouette near her bed.
Without thinking she jumped out and attacked the person with all her might. But when she got closer to that person she smelled the same scent which smelled like a fresh spring Breeze and froze on the spot.
The haze in her eyes cleared and she got to see the features of the person before her.
What came into her eyes is the stunned look of Bi Yuhan.
"What are you doing here Young Master Bi?" She calmed her mind and asked him.
'What is he doing here in my room?'
"I didn't hurt you, did I?"
