Xuan Ji looked at his emotionless daughter, smiling genuinely for the first time."Where's your mother?"As he spoke, he realized how hoarse his voice was."Mom went to find a doctor and told me to watch over you.

Seeing that Xuan Ji was awake, Ling Ruan's face lit up, and she hurried over."Mom, Dad wants to drink.""Here."Nicola handed the lukewarm water to Ling Ruan, who carefully brought it to Xuan Ji's lips. He took a small sip, but Mu Chen intervened, "Just a little, to moisten your throat."Xuan Ji looked at him and didn't take another sip.
