บท 1249: Stifled The Urge

Perhaps being ill made a person more vulnerable, and with Ling Lihua's care, the emotional barrier she had maintained up until now started to show signs of collapse.

She lowered her head a little uneasily to avoid showing Ling Lihua how flustered she was.

Ling Lihua knew how she felt, but she tactfully chose not to point it out.
