Chapter 3: The Pressure from the Stars
“Grandpa, you should rest early,” Huang Ji said softly.
“How could something like this happen to someone as good as Dr. Liang? It’s thanks to her care that you don’t faint when you see the moon anymore.”
“Good people are rewarded. She’ll be alright.”
“Sigh… Xu’er, you should get some rest too.”
“Yes, I’ll wash the dishes and go to bed.”
Huang Ji had returned home, and his grandfather had been deeply distressed upon hearing from him about Dr. Liang’s kidnapping. He was both worried and confused but ultimately helpless. This was something for the police to handle. The old man could only hope and pray for Dr. Liang’s safe return.
Huang Ji helped his grandfather fetch water to wash his feet, then assisted him to bed. Afterward, he cleaned up the dishes in the kitchen.
When everything was done, he walked into the yard and looked up at the sky. His grandfather’s snores echoed faintly from the house—he had fallen asleep in the time it took to wash the dishes.
