Chapter 222: You little rascal, how dare you defy me

Mu Keren woke up to find it was already dark.

"Little one, are you awake?" As soon as she stirred, Huang Qingtian, who had been lying beside her, hurriedly turned on the bedside lamp.

"Huang Qingtian, where are we?" Murmured the newly awakened Mu Keren, her tiny voice filled with confusion.

"This is the hospital. Are you hungry?"

Mu Keren shook her head blankly, then looked around.

Her big, pitch-black eyes brimmed with fear.

She was afraid of the dark!

That much, Huang Qingtian knew very well.

So, even though this research institute wasn't originally outfitted with lamps, he had someone bring in a desk lamp.

A single desk lamp could comfort her in familiar surroundings, but in this strange place, it clearly wasn't enough.

"Huang Qingtian, I want to go home!" After looking around, Mu Keren once again nestled into Huang Qingtian's embrace. Her soft voice held a slight choke in it.

Hearing her quiet sobs, Huang Qingtian felt as if a heavy stone were pressing on his heart.
