""My mother just had surgery and is still recovering."
Nothing else needs to be said.
Baili Xia lowered her eyes, a flash of helplessness in her gaze.
She still had an agreement with her uncle, she still had many burdens to bear, and loads of pressure.
Now, she just can't do whatever she pleases.
Now, it's not the right time.
Give her some more time, and she will definitely become stronger!
Although she said nothing, Dongfang Ji could feel the heaviness in her heart.
Just a moment ago, she was filled with anger, but now, there was no trace of it.
Instead, he started to feel tender towards the girl in front of him.
She wasn't as frail as she appeared, within her delicate body, there was such a strong heart.
How much can a girl withstand?
Carrying such a heavy burden, for her to persist was not easy.
Catching sight of a figure approaching from not far away, he suddenly tightened his grip.
He leaned in close to Baili Xia, saying softly beside her.
