Chapter 177: Ears Like Radar

With a scolding remark, he bent down and gently embraced her.

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

Although he hadn't heard clearly what she had said, the way she urgently called out his name made it obvious that it must have been the assassination attempt that had caused her nightmare.

"Who's worried about you!"

She raised her hand to push him away and looked toward the window. A small lamp was lit in the room, and daylight was faintly visible through the gaps in the curtains. Judging from the light, it seemed it was already late in the day.

Wiping the corners of her eyes with a towel, Huangfu Jue raised his palm and placed it on her forehead. Her skin was cool and damp beneath his hand, showing no sign of fever, which made him silently heave a sigh of relief.

He had experience with external injuries; no fever on the first night was a good sign.

"Just now, you kept calling my name."

So he had heard her, after all. As expected, even in her dreams she had to be careful around this man.
