What Are You Afraid Of?

"I don't want to see those flowers," she said abruptly.

"Why?"

"I don't want to see any flowers from now on!" she cried out as she hugged him back tighter than before.

Mo Jiangye's forehead creased in perplexity and worry.

"What are you afraid of?"

All of a sudden, the woman seemed to regain her senses. "Come again?"

His face sank further when he sensed his wife's peculiar behavior, but when he put a hand on her forehead to check if she was running a fever, her body temperature seemed to be at a normal level.

"Just sleep, babe," he whispered to her as he stroked her head soothingly.

Ye Erruo pursed her lips in confusion, wondering why she was experiencing hallucinations when she had not done anything tiring lately.

Her erratic heartbeat gradually slowed down and stabilized as she buried her face in her husband's chest. She lay there without moving for quite a while but was still unable to fall asleep.
