Listening to her calm and steady voice, he felt somewhat reassured: "Ranran, make sure to stay safe."
Now that she was at the center of power, suddenly withdrawing was bound to implicate others, which was why she said what she did earlier.
What she considered was all about those external matters, but what he had been thinking about, from beginning to end, was only her.
If the virus in her body were completely eradicated, he reckoned he wouldn't be so magnanimous about letting her go.
Two years of longing had nearly tormented him to insanity. If possible, he didn't want her to leave his side even for one step.
"It's late, so get some rest. Call me after you're done, and be careful." He carefully reminded her.
His voice, like a stream of warmth, flowed into her heart. She thought, if this man wasn't lying, following him might really bring her happiness, right?
That night, Ye Ranran slept soundly, no longer plagued by chaotic and nonsensical dreams.
