Bab 142: Chapter 145: Uncle, I'll Behave Myself 15_1

Uncle...the thought of him, his face, his strong arms, for some reason, evoked a strong urge deep within her.

She needed to see him, she had to see him as though only in his presence would she feel safe!

Clearing her thoughts, she flung off her blankets and tumbled off the bed.

Slipping on her slippers, she rushed to her door.

Opening it to find no one in the second-floor corridor, she hurriedly ran downstairs.

The faintly lit lobby was deserted as she descended the staircase.

No one was in the lobby, the servants had all gone to bed, with only the security patrolling outside.

At this hour, the deafening silence made Baili Xia feel even more fearful.

Rushing through the lobby, not caring if her frantic behavior alerted anyone, she quickly headed for Sihai Residence.

Several security personnel stopped her along the way, asking what's going on.

Baili Xia paid them no heed and ran straight to the entrance of Sihai Residence.
