Chapter 24 - 019: Eager to Knock on the Door
When Yi Luowa woke up, daylight had already flooded the room. She turned her head to look at Uncle Li and Ao Lie, who were standing by her bed, and rasped out, "Where is my second uncle?"
Ao Lie and Uncle Li glanced at each other, neither having the courage to speak.
"Uncle Li, where is my second uncle?" She had intended to speak louder this time, but her voice came out hoarse and barely audible.
"Luowa, focus on recovering..." Uncle Li choked as he spoke.
Yi Luowa suddenly threw off the quilt and sat upright. Her vision turned black for a moment, almost causing her to faint again. After steadying herself, she swung her legs off the bed.
"Luowa!" Ao Lie rushed forward and firmly pressed his hands on her shoulders. "The dead cannot be brought back to life. You can't keep tormenting yourself like this. If you go on like this, the Second Master won't rest in peace."
"I want to see him!" Though she was speaking, no sound came out of her mouth.
She had lost her voice!
Uncle Li panicked and quickly ordered someone to call for a doctor.
Yi Luowa pushed Ao Lie's hands aside and seated herself in the wheelchair. Her mind held only one thought—to see her second uncle. She refused to believe it. How could he be gone? The doctor she'd arranged for him was just about to arrive. Why couldn't he hold on a little longer? Why!
Urgent footsteps came from outside the door, and Xi Meichen entered, dressed all in black.
