Her gaze was somewhat vacant.
High up in the hospital ward, Gao Shu had seen Bai Lian like this too, but back then, she was holding onto Jiang Fulai’s hand.
Gao Shu whispered reassurance, "Alian, don’t worry, everyone is already looking for a solution. The incident from his childhood was even more terrifying than this and he still woke up on his own in the end."
Coming back to her senses, Bai Lian got out of the car and politely bid Gao Shu farewell.
She watched Gao Shu’s car drive away.
Gao Shu looked at Bai Lian, intending to ask about Xuan Kang, but knowing that the Luo Family was after Xuan Kang, she thought better of it and kept the matter to herself.

Returning to 303, Zhang Shize and the others were no longer there.
Only Chen Beixuan sat on the sofa in the living room, watching Yan Lu’s new drama.
Upon her return, Chen Beixuan stood up from the sofa, "Miss Bai."
Bai Lian raised her hand but said nothing, just walked toward the study.
Closed the door behind her.
Chen Beixuan saw the study door ajar and looked down at her phone, where Ming Dongheng had already sent her a message.
It asked her to brew some tea or warm some milk.
Director Chen had already told her that Bai Lian knew about Jiang Fulai’s situation.
The corner of Chen Beixuan’s mouth twitched; she wanted to ask Ming Dongheng if she looked like the sort of person to heat milk, but in the end, she went grumbling to the kitchen and heated a cup of milk for Bai Lian.
Nowadays, Chen Beixuan was no match for Xiaoming.
When she knocked and entered, Bai Lian was sitting in the chair in front of the desk.
Her gaze rested on the dried flowers on the table.
The room’s air conditioning wasn’t on, but the window was open, letting in a cool breeze, as Bai Lian’s right hand rested casually on the laptop on the desk.
A sleek, pure black computer without any logos.
Chen Beixuan knew Jiang Fulai had an identical one.
"Miss Bai, here’s some milk for you," Chen Beixuan said, placing the white mug beside Bai Lian’s left hand.
Only then did she notice, beside Bai Lian’s left hand, a white silk brocade pouch.
Something inside glimmered with a silver light.
Could that be...
Embroidery needles? ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
Chen Beixuan knew Ji Heng was skilled at embroidery, and upon seeing the silver needle, her first thought was of embroidery needles, but...
It didn’t seem like one of Ji Heng’s preferred embroidery tools.
"Thank you," Bai Lian said, shifting her gaze away from the dried flowers to thank Chen Beixuan.
Yu Guang glanced diagonally at Chen Beixuan.
Those were dark, heavy eyes, and just the brief contact with them under Yu Guang’s sweeping gaze made Chen Beixuan feel pressured.
No less intense than the urgency faced when confronting Jiang Fulai.
After delivering the milk, she closed the study door.
