"Lin Wanbai? "Hey ?"

Huo Changyuan reached out his hand and lightly patted her face. There was no reaction, only a slight tremble of his eyelashes.

Deep creases appeared on her forehead. Originally, she only wanted to punish her, but she didn't expect her to be so afraid of heights.

No wonder she hadn't spoken a word when they arrived at the airport, her face full of nervousness after getting on the plane. It turned out that it wasn't just because she was nervous during her first flight, but also because she was afraid of heights.

Huo Changyuan's eyebrows creased even more tightly, as if there was a small bump on his forehead.

"Lin Wanbai, wake up!"

He called out twice more, but there was no sign of him opening his eyes.

Huo Changyuan carried her in his arms and left the ground in big strides.

When he returned to the hotel suite, the doctor he called just happened to arrive. It was an overseas Chinese with a Chinese accent, "Mr. Howe, this young lady only fainted because she was frightened."

"Then why isn't she awake yet!" Huo Changyuan frowned.

On the way back from the parachute field, it had already been almost an hour, but she had been sleeping with her eyes closed the entire time.

"It's probably because of the cold. It's a bit of a low temperature." The doctor put down his stethoscope, "It's not that serious. Just take some ice cream and you'll be fine!"

Last night, he had wanted her many times.

In the end, he even picked her up from the bed and pushed her through the curtains to the French windows. Beside her was the hanging air conditioner ?

Huo Changyuan coughed awkwardly and ordered Jiang Fang to send the people out.

He called for the room service to bring the ice pack and wrapped it in a towel before placing it on Lin Wanbai's forehead.

Lin Wanbai, who was in a deep slumber, seemed to struggle a little bit.

Huo Changyuan reprimanded, "Don't move!"

It was as if she was still intimidating the unconscious her, and she immediately became docile.

Huo Changyuan hadn't changed since he entered the suite. He pulled on his shirt's collar and wanted to take off his jacket and throw it on the sofa, but his hand was suddenly grabbed.

He looked down and saw that she was holding his hand tightly.

"Mom ?"

Lin Wanbai's eyelashes moved slightly, her dry lips moving slightly.

Huo Changyuan sat on the edge of the bed and held her hand and patted it as if he was comforting her.

Jiang Fang, who had just returned from sending the doctor off also listened quietly for a few seconds. Suddenly, he said, "Director Huo, Miss Lin seems to be calling you by name as well!"

Huo Changyuan slowly raised his eyebrows when he heard that.

The resolute face could not help but lean closer, its ears close to her mouth.

It was as if she had heard her surname, and a string in her heart had been plucked. She held her breath for a while, and finally, when she opened her mouth again, her voice was soft and hoarse.

"Huo Changyuan, bastard ?"

Huo Changyuan's expression immediately changed like a remote control.

Jiang Fang quickly waved his hand and said, "Cough! I didn't hear anything! "

"..."

"Oh my god, someone is jumping off a building!"

"It looks like a woman!"

Beneath the Inpatient Department's building, more and more people gathered. They all raised their heads and looked at the woman dressed in the hospital gown on the top floor. It seemed that in the blink of an eye, she would jump down from above.

Little Lin Wanbai squeezed her way out of the crowd, dropping her doughnut on the ground.

She shouted with her mouth wide open, her voice drowned out by the clamor of the crowd. She wanted to stop her mother, but to no avail. She could only watch as her mother fell heavily from the top floor like a blooming flower.

"Mom, don't ?"

Lin Wanbai abruptly opened her eyes.

There was a short moment of absent-mindedness before they gathered together again. It was only after a long time that they realized that they were on the plane.

The light shield on the window was lowered. It seemed to be night. The cabin was very quiet. There were no more flight attendants moving around.

Unconsciously, Lin Wanbai moved her hands and found herself wrapped in a thick layer of palm.

Following the center of his palm was the watch on his wrist, followed by his sturdy and powerful forearm, then his protruding Adam's apple, and his sharp chin. His pair of deep eyes were closed, as if he was sleeping.

"Miss Lin, you're awake!"

Jiang Fang, who was sitting on the other side of the aisle, looked at her with a smile.

Lin Wanbai was a little dazed. "We're ?"

"You are flying back to the Ice City's private plane. After jumping out of the parachute, you have been unconscious for an entire day and night!" Jiang Fang glanced at the Boss and continued, "Director Huo has always been by your side, pushing off the journey. Now, you are returning home two days earlier than usual."

Lin Wanbai only let out an "oh".

She pulled back her hand, but did not do so. She could only close her eyes again.

The private plane landed in a separate area of the airport. After they left, Jiang Fang didn't go with them, he only handed Huo Changyuan the car keys and the white Land Rover stopped by the roadside.

When he closed the car door, Huo Changyuan suddenly asked, "Does your mom have any flowers that she likes?"

"Horseshoe Lotus ?" Lin Wanbai didn't even think about replying.

He frowned slightly, not understanding his intention. Seeing that he had no intention to speak, he could only shut his mouth.

The Land Rover was speeding across the airport. Occasionally, cars would pass by, probably due to the low fever. Lin Wanbai was exhausted after more than ten hours on the plane. Under the sunset, she could not help but close her eyes and take a nap.

When she opened her eyes, she found that it was not the bustling downtown area she had expected to see.

It was a bunch of cemetery in the suburbs. Furthermore, there was a bunch of Horseshoe Lotuses on the back of the car, she didn't even know when he stopped to buy them.

Huo Changyuan had already pulled out the car keys, "Where's the tombstone?"

"?" Lin Wanbai frowned.

Huo Changyuan stretched out his arms and picked up the white horseshoe lotus. His deep eyes glanced sideways, "It's not that you kept calling me mom when you were sleeping, now you're here, aren't you going to go take a look?"

After walking for quite a long distance, Lin Wanbai would occasionally bite her lip and look back.

Almost every time, she came to visit her mother alone. Other than the horseshoe lotus in her arms, she had never brought a man here.

Not even Yan Feng.

Walking up to the tombstone, Lin Wanbai took the bunch of white horseshoe lilies from her hand and placed it next to her mother's tombstone.

With one more person standing behind her, she was at a loss.

About ten minutes later, Lin Wanbai turned around and said, "You can go back now ?"

"Yes." Huo Changyuan nodded.

Just as he was about to leave, he turned around and glanced at the young woman on the gravestone.

Huo Changyuan didn't start the engine immediately. Instead, he put one hand on the window and the other on the steering wheel, while his protruding Adam's apple rolled up and down. He wanted to say something but hesitated.

"Before you jumped up high, I didn't know you were afraid of heights."

The corner of Huo Changyuan's mouth gradually tensed up, and there was a trace of awkwardness in his voice, "It won't happen again!"

Lin Wanbai looked at the firm profile of his face, the fingers on his knees curling up.

Was this considered apologizing to her?

But, why is it that even apologies are so tyrannical ?
