Her feet stuck to the ground as her eyes met the figure by the adjacent room.

Since it was very quiet in the house, Liu Wei was woken up by her cries. He had wondered what was wrong with her, so he came over to check on her.

They both stood for almost thirty seconds staring at each other. Liling was thinking of the fastest lie to tell him, if he asks her what she was doing outside by that time.

She didn't occur to her that he had heard her whispers and had come out to check on her.

"What's wrong? Are you okay? "

'What's wrong? Am I okay? '

Liling swallowed hard and coughed trying to find her voice.

"Yes.., I'm ..okay. I just..just...want to drink.. water."

Liling weakly replied. No matter how she wanted to sound fine, her tummy was saying otherwise.

Liu Wei stared at her with a concerned gaze. He knew that something was wrong but she didn't want him to know about it.
