Ling Momo realized that her hands and feet were ice-cold as she spoke.
During the few days she had returned to her hometown, she had unknowingly experienced a life-and-death separation.
She lowered her eyelids and said, "Teacher, why didn't you tell me about the surgery? If I had known, I wouldn't have gone back to my hometown."
Li Qingshen's lips curled into a barely noticeable smile, staring at Ling Momo for a while. He then glanced at the time on the Western-style clock beside him, stood up, and said, "It's getting late, are you staying here tonight or going back?"
Ling Momo didn't hesitate and responded directly, "Going home."
Li Qingshen didn't insist, respecting her decision. He grabbed his clothes, put them on, and then said to the stunned Ling Momo, "I'll take you."
Ling Momo quickly got up and followed Li Qingshen out of the Li Mansion.
