章節 41: "Sweet Dream 03"(2)

Seraphina's face, still tear-streaked but with a faint smile, looked fragile at that moment. She clasped his fingers, seeking some comforting strength from within. "I'm tired, I want to rest."

Linden held her hand, ensuring she could lie comfortably in his arms. Throughout the night, she made no cute noises or cries; she slept profoundly quietly, as silent as a corpse.

Linden woke frequently that night, listening closely to her faint breathing. He kept holding her, trying to give her some warmth, but she gave no response.

"Do you still want a puppy, Zhi Wei?" he asked with a husky voice, placing a small dog plushie in her arms. Seraphina didn't respond, not even moving a finger.

She slept soundly, embodying a night of pure, high-class humanity—utterly rational, entirely devoid of emotional influences, providing the noble lady a good night's sleep.
