Early the next morning, Li Mingxun stepped out of his room only to find the dining table empty, which was quite unusual.
Normally at this time, Luo Qianxun would have already prepared breakfast.
He glanced at her room, just about to walk in, when he heard her crying out, "No... leave me alone... please... I won't say anything... I promise... Grandma... Grandma..."
"Luo Qianxun? Are you alright?"
Li Mingxun knocked on the door but there was no response.
He opened the door and walked in to find her head tossing about restlessly on the pillow, whispering with dread, "No... blood... so much blood..."
"Luo Qianxun."
Li Mingxun realizing that she was having a nightmare, reached out and patted her face, "Wake up!"
Startled, Luo Qianxun opened her eyes wide. Seeing Li Mingxun, she sat up immediately and wrapped her arms around him, "I'm scared..."
Li Mingxun frowned slightly but made no move to push her away.
Although she appeared strong, she was also quite vulnerable.
