"I'm going to check on Minghua," Li Wenmin abruptly said. "Just to make sure everything is okay. It's been a while since she's been in this house."

Li Chenyang raised a brow. He wasn't perplexed by Wenmin's behavior. It was typical of his older brother.

"I'm sorry," Li Chenyang confessed. "I didn't believe you because the thought of a dead woman walking again is just—"

"It's understandable," Li Xueyue interrupted.
