Huo Jinyan walked over and bent down to look at Lu Jingzhi.

“Jingzhi, Jingzhi.”

He patted Lu Jingzhi and called his name twice.

Lu Jingzhi seemed to be deeply immersed in a dream, his hands waving wildly in the air.

“Sister! Sister!”

Huo Jinyan called out a few more times, but there was no response.

Actually, this had happened once before.

At that time, the doctor suggested waking him up and taking him to see a psychiatrist.

But there was no point in calling for the doctor now.

Lu Ning was anxious. She pushed the blanket aside and was about to get out of bed.

Huo Jinyan quickly came over to her side and carried her to Lu Jingzhi’s bed, letting her lie down beside him.

Lu Ning turned to look at him and held his hand.

“Sister’s here, Sister’s right here,”

“Jingzhi, can you hear your sister’s voice? She’s over here.”

She called his name again and again as she spoke to him.

Lu Jingzhi’s hands finally calmed down, and so did his body. He seemed to have heard Lu Nings voice.

“Sister…”

But he continued to murmur.

Lu Ning hurriedly continued, “Sister’s here. Sister’s fine, Sister ran out and so did you, so don’t worry…”

Her voice was gentle as she told him over and over again, everything is fine, everything is fine.

Hearing Lu Nings voice, Lu Jingzhi finally calmed down; he slowly fell asleep again, and his breathing became steady.

Lu Ning patted his body gently to comfort him.

Her eyes were red as she sighed and looked at the young boy in her arms.

She had no idea how long his situation would last. She did not know how terrifying the scene in his dream was, yet he was still worried about her safety in his dream.

Lu Ning raised a hand to wipe away her tears.

Huo Jinyan stood behind her and patted her back. He whispered softly into her ear, “It’s okay, he’ll get better.”

Lu Ning looked up at him. “Will he, really be okay?”

Huo Jinyan leaned closer, closer to her face. “Yes, he will.” He kissed her forehead, and then laid her down.

“Accompany Jingzhi for tonight. I’ll watch over both of you.”

Lu Ning nodded.

She placed her hand gently on Lu Jingzhi’s body, hoping to make him feel more secure.

Huo Jinyan gently patted Lu Nings back to comfort her.

Gradually, Lu Ning fell asleep.

Huo Jinyan sat at the side and looked at the two of them, his heart aching.

The two of them had yet to recover from that nightmare.

It would show itself in Lu Jingzhi’s dreams, but Lu Ning would not say anything.

He looked at Lu Ning and frowned slightly.

Gu Chen was trying his best to make her let go of the knot in her heart, but she was clearly resisting.

Huo Jinyan’s eyes were a little red. He was afraid that Lu Ning would live in its shadow for the rest of her life and never be able to pull herself out of it; that she would remain surrounded in those flames for the rest of her life.

He did not want her to experience that image a second time, yet she might be replaying it in her mind every day, tormenting herself.

When she woke up the next day, dawn had just broken.

As soon as she woke up, Huo Jinyan immediately turned to look at her.

“You’re awake? Are you feeling alright?”

Lu Ning was stunned. She looked at Lu Jingzhi, who was beside her, and looked at Huo Jinyan.

Huo Jinyan was already standing beside her.

She looked at Huo Jinyan and nodded her head. Then, she asked him, “Did you not sleep the entire night?”

Huo Jinyan looked at her. “No. I don’t sleep much, so don’t worry about me.”

How could Lu Ning not be worried? He already had heavy bags under his eyes.

Lu Ning pursed her lips and looked at him..
