Chương 189: Can't See Her Suffering

*Flashback Continued*

It took a whole week before Xu Mey woke up. Looking at the bamboo hut through her groggy eyes, she was really confused. That's when her eyes fell on a tall boy's figure sitting on the floor while leaning against the wall. She tried to get up but winced in pain.

The boy lifted his eyes off the book in his hands and smiled at her. "Are you feeling better?" He asked while passing a glass of water from under the curtain.

"I'm..." She felt her throat stinging. She took a sip of water before trying again, "Where am I?"

"Oh! This? You're actually in the Forest of fireflies."

Xu Mey frowned. "There is such a place?"

She heard a hearty laugh. "No, I'm messing with you. This forest is actually known as the Boundless Trees." Xu Mey nodded and took another sip of water as her dark black shoulder-length hair fell on her face covering it like a mask.
