956 A Risky Plan

Xia Ling shook her head in disappointment, unable to utter a word.

The lighting in the hallway was dim, and it made her look exceptionally haggard, almost as if she'd been drained of all energy and had nothing but an empty shell left. She did not want to talk to anyone nor make any expression. Scenes of the encounter with the snakes flashed before her eyes repeatedly. She remembered how confident and assuring his voice was when he told her to hold him tight, and how she just knew she could depend on him. But now?

When he needed her support most, she couldn't do a thing.

Just next to her, a lady said, "How could you possibly not get him awake? Don't you love him the most, or is it that he doesn't love you enough? Otherwise, how could he have no reaction when he heard your voice?"

She did not know whose voice that was as she remained caught up in her own bubble.
