Manman shuddered and instinctively turned around to run towards the bedside. But perhaps it was her hastiness or the weakness in her legs—she only managed two steps before she fell heavily to the floor, her head hitting the corner of the cabinet with a loud thump.
The pain instantly brought tears to her eyes. She curled up on the floor, too afraid to make a sound.
Muo Huangnian hadn't expected that she could fall in just a few steps. His pupils contracted slightly as he quickly stepped forward, bent down, and scooped her up, placing her on the bed.
"Where did you hit yourself?" He touched her head, but when he saw her keeping it down and not saying a word, his tone turned cold abruptly. "Qin Manman, I'm asking you a question!"
Manman flinched when he shouted, scared enough to shake his hand off her. Her body shrunk back as she covered her head with both hands. "I'm sorry… Please don't hurt my Second Brother… I'm begging you, I'm sorry…"
Sorry?
