After dinner, Xia Chu called Jiang Ziyao, Ye Xueming, and Ye Shuhua one after another.
She mainly expressed her gratitude and apologies to Jiang Ziyao.
For Ye Xueming and Ye Shuhua, the calls were mainly to reassure them of her safety.
Only after finishing the calls did she realize that Huo Xiyao, who had been sitting on the bed gently smiling at her, didn't know when he had fallen asleep.
But even in his sleep, the smile remained on his lips.
Xia Chu's heart instantly softened.
Unable to resist, she tiptoed forward and reached out to gently stroke Huo Xiyao's face.
Then, the tenderness in her heart turned into heartache.
Although he was fortunate enough not to get hurt, the fact that he had lost weight was undeniable. She had noticed during his bath that his muscles were almost gone.
Now he fell asleep so unknowingly; one could only imagine how tired he must have been these days.
