The news of her pregnancy was so shocking that Jing Haohao's mind had seemingly gone blank as she emerged from the restroom. Her facial expressions appeared numb.
She breezed past Xian'er as if she was completely oblivious of her presence, and wordlessly made her way to the bedside. Moments later, she collapsed onto the bed without a sound.
Xian'er hurried to the bedside, asking concerned questions. But Jing Haohao didn't utter a word in response. She simply pulled up the covers over her head, separating herself from the outside world.
In the hotel room, maintained at a constant twenty-seven degrees, Jing Haohao cocooned herself in the blanket. Soon, she was covered in sweat, but she didn't seem to mind the discomfort and continued to lie there unmoving, staring into the darkness inside her narrow blanket cocoon.
