Capítulo 283: You're worth it

Late in the morning, Yong Liwei was woken up at the sound of groans coming from the woman who was sleeping beside him.

"Stop… no…"

"Mengjie?" he called, gently shaking her to wake her up.

'Mengjie!"

Lu Mengjie snapped her eyes open and instantly sat up. The chilly sweat drenched her as she struggled for breath. Her lovely face was distorted by torment and suffering. Her eyes stung with tears as she threw her hands to cover her body.

Yong Liwei reached to touch her shoulder, making her flinch. He felt a pang in his chest, seeing how scared she looked. She snapped at him, her eyes filled with horror but the instant she saw him, it dissipated and instead, was replaced with relief.

"You had a nightmare." He wiped her forehead with his hand before he pulled her in his arms.
