Chapter 899: She Dared Not Think About It Because It Was A Scary Thought!

The gentle breeze rustled at night, caressing his face. It was not cold; in fact, it was rather soothing.

Ye Mo finished his bath and exited the bathroom. When he passed by Ye Liu, he deliberately ignored his elder brother and went on his way.

Ye Liu smirked and brushed the incident aside.

He got up to fetch hot water from the kitchen for his turn in the bathroom so that he could get to sleep later!

Gently, Liu Duo opened the door to Ye Ling’s room and sat by his bed. She observed the pale figure sleeping soundly there. She felt disheartened seeing him like this.

Her hand traced across the contours of his face as she softly spoke. “Ling, I don’t want to see you fall sick ever again. I’m scared I’d really lose you.”

Heart diseases like this might not be easily detected or saved even in the modern era, let alone in ancient times like this, where the medical technology was limited to medicinal soup, pills, and acupuncture.

He got lucky this time. But what about next time?

She dared not think about it because it was a scary thought!

“I hope that, after our child is born, we can all look after them, watch them grow up and raise a family of their own. I don’t want any regrets.”

She lay on the bed, next to Ye Ling, and turned sideways to face him as she muttered softly to herself.

It was only after sleep caught up with her that the room fell into silence.

The night ended in the blink of an eye and morning gradually came once more.

Slowly, Ye Ling opened his eyes. Feeling the weight on his body, he turned his head sideways to find Liu Duo curled up next to him, sleeping soundly with an arm and a leg draped across his person.

Trying not to disturb her, Ye Ling gently placed her limbs down onto the bed, before lying on his side again to observe the face so close to him.

Silently, he thought, Duo Er, I’m sorry for scaring you yesterday. I swear that won’t happen again!

He felt fear and regret the moment he fainted.

He had feared he would not wake up this time, and he regretted demanding that his brothers answer him.

That was how he fell ill and made the whole family worry about him!

He should not have behaved that way!

After reflecting on his ways, Ye Ling crept down from the bed and got dressed.

Other than Liu Duo and Little Huzi, the rest of the family had washed up by the well, one after another.

“Ling, why are you up today?” Ye Liu frowned when he saw Ye Ling.

Ye Mo had not been looking his best since last night. When he saw his youngest brother who had been feeling a little bit better that morning, he frowned once more and was on the verge of spitting fire.

“You should be resting in bed! What are you doing out here? Don’t you want to live?” Still mad, he blurted this out without thinking.

If Ling did not care about his health, then why should he?

Ye Mo furiously kicked the bucket next to him before stomping into the kitchen to make a fire for breakfast.

Ye Liu gave the disappearing figure a telling off.

Ye Ling hung his head low, feeling guilty. It was heartbreaking to watch.

Aunt Li shook her head when the scene blew over. Ye Mo certainly did not know how to listen to his heart. He obviously cared very much for Ye Ling and yet he went on to say those things!

“Ling, don’t mind your brother. He’s just very concerned about you. Go wash up, and continue your rest upstairs.”

“Alright.” Ye Ling nodded and said nothing more. He washed up and headed upstairs.
