"No, just trying to calm down and not truly sleeping..." She warmly mumbled eying him as he settled down on the bed just beside her and dragged her over into his arms, laying down closely.
"Okay... I will accompany you here..." He tightly hugged her and made sure she felt safe in his arms, previously, he could have not been bothered if she threw a tantrum but now, they had each other, he was obsessed with her.
As much as she tried to smile, she had pain in those eyes, he didn't want to see her like this.
"Mnnnh..." She softly hummed falling asleep.
"I'm sorry Ye Mei.." he was so weak that he had succumbed to her pleas knowing very well, that things weren't the way they were.
If he had held on a little bit longer, this wouldn't have happened, but it was a fate he could no longer fight against.
