Gu Xinzhou woke up in the middle of the night to find the man beside her gone.
She put on a coral fleece robe-style housecoat and came out of the room.
Not only was she afraid that Song Zhen was still working this late, but she also wanted to check on George's room to see if the kids had kicked off their blankets or something.
Gu Xinzhou noticed that the living room lights were on downstairs.
This made her even more curious, and she quickened her pace.
Walking into the children's room, she saw various small colored lights still on, their combined glow softly outlining everything inside like moonlight.
She found that George was sleeping well, lying there without moving, with his hands and feet all under the blankets, more properly than one would expect from a child so young.
And the Unicorn toy Gu Xinzhou had given to George was now lying lonely on the floor beside the bed.
Gu Xinzhou squatted down to pick it up and gently placed the Unicorn beside George's pillow.
