Chapter 106: Desolate

Yueyao had fallen asleep at Tingzheng's bedside.

Nanny Deng didn't wake Yueyao but took a blanket and covered her with it, sitting in the chair, watching over Yueyao and Tingzheng. Nanny Deng was very saddened to see Yueyao frowning even in her sleep, the young lady had not only to take care of herself but also to look after the young master, which was truly exhausting. If the Old Master and Madam were still here, who knows how heartbroken they would be.

As dawn was breaking, Tingzheng awoke and the first thing he saw upon opening his eyes was Yueyao sleeping beside him. Tingzheng, puzzled, said, "Sister." Why was his sister by his bed? He must be seeing things!

Tingzheng's call startled Yueyao awake, and seeing Tingzheng awake and looking at her, Yueyao hugged him tightly, tears welling up in her eyes. Her brother was alive, nothing bad had happened to him, it was so good, truly very good.
