There shouldn't really be anything to worry about, their relationship had already deteriorated to such a point. However, Lu Yebai was filled with dreadful realization that, from now on, there was no way to mend their relationship.
As long as he thought of that, a chill would settle in the bottom of his heart, as drenched in cold as on a chilly autumn night.
The chill rose from his heart, faltering his thoughts from continuing down this path.
His first instinct was to reach for a cigarette to calm his nerves, but his pack and lighter had been taken by Mrs. Lu. Overcome by an uncontrollable chill, he felt a bit at a loss.
His whole being was gripped by an indescribable emotion. A slow creeping panic started enveloping his heart, making Lu Yebai feel confused and uneasy.
What was happening to him...
What was wrong?
