Bab 1869: Detoxifying 3

However…

Huang Fu remained on guard nearby.

After six hours had passed, he gently carried Gu Chaoyan back to the room, placed her on the bed, and then returned to the space.

Just as Huang Fu departed, Zhou Huaijin entered the room.

During these days, she had required extended periods of rest after consuming the medicine.

He would stay by her side and only leave once she woke up.

This time was no exception.

Noticing her awakening, Zhou Huaijin rose from his seat, prepared to depart.

Gu Chaoyan grasped his clothing and looked at him with wide-opened eyes. "Where are you going?"

Zhou Huaijin felt both surprised and relieved. "I'm going to get you some tea. Are you thirsty?"

He had no intention of disclosing his initial plan to leave. Even if he had contemplated doing so, he wouldn't reveal it, so as not to place her in an awkward position.

Gu Chaoyan smiled and nodded.

She felt revitalized.
