Her eyes searched his face, seeking answers to questions she couldn't quite form, "Hm" she nodded, her eyes left Liu Yi and landed on Anna, standing on the side, secretly crying.
Her brows furrowed slightly," A… Anna?" She called softly.
Liu Yi turned to the girl silently crying on the side, he thought she was crying from relief, "Come over" he beckoned her to come, a smile on his face.
Anna shook her head and took a step back, hands over her mouth as she cried harder.
This stunned Liu Yi and the young physician, they exchanged glances, confused.
" Anna?" Delilah called again, trying to raise her hand to call her over, a worried expression etched on her pale face.
This made Anna fall to her knees and sob loudly, her hand over her mouth. She really didn't want to be dramatic, but she couldn't help it. After recalling everything, it was all her fault.
Ever since Delilah became friends with her, she always get in a trouble or two, she is bad luck, bad luck.
Her hands fell to the floor, "I am sorry, I…" She cried, her body trembling.
Delilah was stupefied," A… Anna, wh-what…"
As she couldn't finish what she was about to ask, she began gasp for air, her chest rising and falling rapidly, her mouth slightly opened as if she was trying to drag all the air in, her widened eyes almost bulging, her hands gripped the sheet tightly.
Panic settled in.
Liu Yi snapped his fingers before her face" Delilah, Delilah, listen to me, breathe…" He encouraged, "Yes, breathe, Delilah…"
A long while of encouragement later, Delilah began to yield and her breathing slowed down, her eyes became heavy and fluttered for a moment, eventually, she passed out.
" Is she… Is she alright?" Anna, now standing at the foot of the bed asked softly, silent tears dripped from her face. Her face pale as if she'd just encountered a ghost, eyes glistened, widened with fear.
" Hm, she passed out from exhaustion." Liu Yi exhaled in relief, he turned his head from the sickly pale girl to Anna, his gaze lingered on her for a while.
" You stay here and keep an eye on her" he told the young physician, who nodded," Come with me" he said to Anna, and they left the ward.
... Earlier, In a wide empty room of a cabin…
Li Ming, Wang Xiao and Yan Ruyi were sitting on the wooden floor, hugging their knees.
The soldiers who were all smiles at them since they arrived at the camp were now staring, no glaring, at them with fierce and merciless expressions.
The door slowly opened, and a cold chill settled in the room as Zhang Han entered, a chair was prepared for him to seat.
Zhang Han sat elegantly and crossed his legs, he stared at them for a while before a cold chuckle escape his lips.
He asked," Anything else to say?" his voice was as cold as the wind in winter.
The girls trembled, Yan Ruyi began," S… Sir, I, I am in…in…in" she kept repeating 'in' like a scratched tape, she couldn't say she was innocent because she felt an invisible force pressing again her neck.
" You are innocent?" Zhang asked, his voice grim, held an underlying tone of sarcasm.
