บท 616: I'm Not Your Savior

At the Ye residence, Rong Qi was taking Lu Qi's pulse when she suddenly grabbed Rong Qi's wrist.

"Let me go, please," Lu Qi pleaded, her eyes still shut.

Rong Qi paused, then gently patted her, "Lu Qi, it's me, Rong Qi. Wake up."

"No, stay away... please!"

"Lu Qi, wake up," Rong Qi urged, patting her face.

The fever had subsided somewhat, but Lu Qi's temperature was still high.

Slowly waking, Lu Qi's face was filled with fear, but upon seeing Rong Qi clearly, she realized she had been rescued.

"Seven! I knew you would come to save me. They did horrible things to me, so horrible."

Lu Qi sat up abruptly, hugging Rong Qi, her voice hoarse but unable to suppress her urge to cry.

Rong Qi comforted her, "Cry if you need to. I'm here."

Lu Qi sobbed louder and more sorrowfully in her embrace.
