This prevented her from feeling optimistic.
Not to mention, altogether, it had already been a full month.
She hadn't seen him for a month.
As time went by, the atmosphere in the old house once again became heavy.
Every time He Yirong and Liu Minjun looked at Zhixi, their gazes carried an indescribable sadness and caution.
But Zhixi appeared to be as calm as usual, and as the months went by, her appetite even grew.
This provided a slight relief to the couple.
What they didn't know was that Zhixi had begun to suffer from insomnia night after night, her heart racing. She often woke up abruptly midway through sleep, frightened to sleep again, because once she fell asleep, nightmares would begin.
Panic was like a giant beast, devouring an enormous rift within her heart.
