Chapter 459: Healing

Upon waking, Lily jolted up. Her senses on high alert as she examined the room. It's familiarity stung her eyes.

"Hey." 

Lily blinked before she looked at the person sitting next to her. She felt her breath hitched as she met his eyes. It was as if the time froze. Before she could draw the air that she needed, Zhou Jingren's arms wrapped around her. His arms folded around his waist as he pulled her closer. Slowly, she melted into his arms.

For a few minutes, silence covered the room. The lights from the sun peeked on the curtains as they hugged. Their tears went unnoticed as the only sound that they heard was each other's heart drumming against their chests. She felt his body shook as he hugged her tighter, his breathing sparse, then he started sobbing.
