Xie Limo placed her back down and made sure she was lying properly before going to cook ginger soup for her. He cooled it down to a suitable temperature before letting her drink it.

Seeing in Yun Bixue in this state, Xie Limo could not go back to work and took half a day off instead to take care of her at home.

Yun Bixue was really sick this time. She felt weak all over. She did not know why her body was being like this. She simply felt groggy and did not feel like eating or doing anything.

If not for Xie Limo's care and coaxing, she would probably not even eat a mouthful of food.

Around midnight, Yun Bixue had a dream. She dreamed of a b.l.o.o.d.y scene and the explosion at the villa back in Ning An City.

She suddenly sat up from her sleep and starting breathing heavily as she clutched her chest. She was even sweating profusely.

Xie Limo was not sleeping soundly either. Once he sensed some movement from Yun Bixue, he woke up and saw how she looked like. It really made his heart clench painfully. He hugged her in his embrace and asked, "What's wrong? Did you have a dream?"

Hearing that gentle and familiar voice, Yun Bixue turned to look at Xie Limo. She hugged him at once and said, "Limo, I feel like something bad is going to happen to me. Am I about to die?"

These words pierced right through Xie Limo's heart, shattering it to pieces. His heart clenched painfully as he replied sternly, "What nonsense are you saying. I'm still here. You will be fine. The doctor just came to check on you. You're only having a fever. Things will be fine once your fever subsides."

Yun Bixue asked in an uncertain tone, "Really?"

"Would I need to lie about this? You will be fine." As he said that, Xie Limo placed his cool hand on Yun Bixue's forehead and said, "You're already sweating. This shows that your fever is subsiding, but don't catch a cold instead."

Yun Bixue regained her senses and sighed before she said, "Limo, I made you worry again. Ever since I came to the capital with you, I haven't been able to help you with anything, yet I still made you worry."

This time around, Yun Bixue became exceptionally gentle and polite. Xie Limo was not used to this side of her at all. He caressed her head and rested it against his chest as he pacified her.

When Yun Bixue fell sick this time, her thoughts began to wander as she thought of her own parents, Mommy Lu, and the people who pa.s.sed away in the explosion.

At this moment, there was a hint of sorrow in her emotions. She started searching around for something.

Xie Limo felt that Yun Bixue was like a bout of wind right now. He felt that he was unable to grasp on to her. It made him fear that he was going to lose her.

"What are you looking for? I can help you."

Yun Bixue was still feeling groggy and sleepy. However, she did not dare to sleep. She felt that there were still many things she had yet to say. She was worried about her younger sister.

"I want to find my phone and call Bilu. I'm worried about her. I haven't heard her voice for a long time."

Xie Limo coaxed Yun Bixue with a gentle voice and said, "Okay. Lie down first. I'll find your phone for you."

When he found Yun Bixue's phone in the living room, he checked and realized that it was out of battery. He went to charge it for her. He would pa.s.s his own phone to her instead to make the call.

However, when he returned to the bedroom, Yun Bixue had fallen asleep again while hugging his pillow.

Xie Limo heaved a sigh of relief. She really worried him a lot tonight. However, it was good that she was asleep. Xie Limo was afraid that something would happen to her again, so he only had a light sleep while hugging her as he did not dare to fall into a deep sleep.

In Country E

Ever since the blow she suffered previously, Zuoqiu Zimei would slip in and out of madness intermittently.

Although the situation in the Zuoqiu family had caused a huge stir, it did not affect Yun Bilu's life in school at all. Yun Bilu continued going to school as usual. Sometimes, she would go and find Huang Yize. However, she realized that he had changed.
