sense of security

Grandfather Ji sat inside the private ward and he stares at Yue Ling with a daze look. His mouth opens and closes, but it was like all the words he wanted to say were stuck in this throat.

Was he hearing things? Could Ji Jingxu's words about his hearing gone bad really true?

After a long moment of struggling, he was finally able to choke out his words.

"A-Ah Ling, are you sure? Are you really sure?"

"Mm."

Yue Ling answers right away with a faint smile curled on her lip.

"I won't ask why you keep insisting that I take over Ji Corps, but I'm sure you have a reasonable reason."

She stretch her left hand towards him and place her palm over his hand that was leaning on the edge of the bed.

"I just hope that one of these days, you will be the one to tell me why."
