“So you didn’t rush out because you were afraid that if you fought Liu Yu and died, I would immediately follow by killing myself, right?” I blinked, speaking bluntly.
“I can’t risk your life…” Night Suo said gravely.
“Honestly, when did you wake up? Did your mother-in-law not actually knock you unconscious?” My goal was to divert the conversation as much as possible.
“I was indeed struck by that woman, but I’m not that weak. I woke up when you said that sentence.”
