With a heavy heart and distressed expression, Xiao Rui sat beside the bed where Xiao Lian' was lying, covered by a white sheet. Her Assistant stood behind the door, while Hina was sitting across from her.
The room was silent and the only sound that was present was the ticking time that informed them about the present.
She observed her niece, her breathing was soft and steady, and she was sleeping soundly. Within her sight, Xiao Rui could see Hina was calmly closing her eyes, deeply focused on her training.
She could feel the mana circulating inside her body and it left her in awe. Xiao Rui felt hesitant to talk with Hina, but Hina seemed to realize the gaze and she opened her mouth.
"Is there something?".
"Mm, how long have you known XIao Lian?".
Caught off guard with the question, Hina stopped her training, fixed her posture, and directed her gaze at Xiao Rui.
