Lóng Wei's heart skipped a beat to hear the words of Li Hua. She confessed how much importance he had in her life. He continued to gently caress Li Hua's hair until she stopped sobbing. The long hug went on for minutes before they both pulled away.
Lóng Wei used his right hand to wipe the tears from her cheeks using his thumb. "I love you, Li Hua," he said, keeping a tiny smile on his lips.
The tears appeared instantly in her eyes. "His Highness doesn't love me. If he loved me, he wouldn't have put his life in danger. He hid everything from me and took such a dangerous step to find the culprit. The Fourth Brother told me everything," Li Hua said, and wiped the tears from her eyes with the pad of her fingers. She put her hand on his arm and made him sit on the bed.
"I will bring soup for His Highness," Li Hua said.
"I want to drink water," Lóng Wei replied.
