His heart sank at the sight.

He wanted to rush upstairs and s.n.a.t.c.h the mother and daughter over, or perhaps, chase the man out.

Gradually, the lights in the living room turned off as well.

Ming Ansheng threw the cigarette bud on the floor and stepped on it aggressively.

He made his mind and strode to the apartment entrance.

He entered the unit number and pressed the dial b.u.t.ton.

…

“Who’s that at this time of the night?”

Su Yue was about to fall asleep when she heard the doorbell ringing incessantly.

She pulled off the covers and got off the bed.

She trudged to her room door and opened it.

The light in the opposite room was on. Su Yue glanced towards the main door.

Could Jiao Chen have gone to open the door?

But Jiao Chen wasn’t there. Su Yue frowned and walked over.

The doorbell was still ringing. She walked over, turned on the lights, and watched the surveillance camera.

It was dark and she couldn’t see anyone.

She pressed the microphone b.u.t.ton and yawned as she asked, “Who is it?”

It was late at night.

Her brother had the keys, and her third sister-in-law would definitely call her if she was coming at this time of the night. Besides, she knew the pa.s.sword and she didn’t need to press the doorbell.

There was no reply from the other end.

“Could someone have gotten the wrong unit?”

Then she ended the call.

She turned around and walked back to the room. She was too tired that she kept yawning.

She turned off the living room lights and saw that the night lamp in the opposite room was still on.

It confused Su Yue. She walked over and looked into the room. “Jiaojiao?”

There was no response.

She entered the room and didn’t see Jiao Chen. Su Xiaojiao was under the covers, in a deep sleep.

She was wearing sky-blue pajamas, and Su Yue’s heart melted at the sight of her pink chubby face. She couldn’t help but go over and kneel on the bed. She then kissed her on the cheek.

She must’ve felt ticklish because Su Xiaojiao pursed her lips and rolled over, continuing to sleep.

She was now back-facing Su Yue.

Her white panties had a cute picture of her favorite teddy bear. Su Yue patted her b.u.t.t gently.

“Su Yue?”

Jiao Chen was shocked.

Su Yue turned around and saw him standing at the door. His white sleepwear was loose on him, making him look exceptionally thin.

Su Yue saw his drenched hair and asked in confusion, “Didn’t you shower already? Why did you shower again?”

Jiao Chen’s gaze faltered for a moment. He replied, “I was sweating so I took another shower.”

Then he dried his hair with the towel on his shoulder.

“You look pale. What’s wrong?” Su Yue could tell that something was amiss. She hurriedly got off the bed and walked over to him to observe his face.

After the accident, Jiao Chen’s health was in bad shape. He couldn’t gain weight, and he seemed to get thinner by the day.

They went for regular checks and she asked the doctor about it, but she said it was fine.

Jiao Chen smiled and shook his head. “It’s nothing. I didn’t rest well in the past two days.”

Then he walked past Su Yue and sat on the edge of the bed. He bowed his head and concentrated on drying his hair.

He didn’t sleep well for the past two days? Su Yue was still worried. “Jiaojiao, are you keeping something from me?”
