Chapter 134: Don’t Be Afraid, I’m Here (2)

Like humans who were afraid of ghosts, any slight disturbance or trouble would result in panic.

She hid herself in her blanket self-deceivingly, thinking that she would be able to protect herself well that way. Actually, it was just proof of her fear.

She laid in bed while Chen Keming served her dinner to her personally. Luo Anning simply answered sluggishly that she did not wish to eat, after which she hid her head in her blanket again. Regardless of how hard Chen Keming tried to convince her, she simply did not have an appetite.

It was good enough that the sight of Ou Lixue’s mushed up and bloodied corpse did not make her throw up. Luo Anning could barely manage to drink any water, let alone eat.

Due to the tremendous pressure that she was facing, she began to suffer from insomnia. She lifted a corner of the duvet and stared at the pink laptop before spacing out…

In the middle of the night, she finally could not stay up any longer and thus fell asleep.

However, she was not fully asleep and was instead, in a daze. It was true that one would tend to dream about the things that they mulled over in the day. She had a nightmare that night.

She dreamt of Ou Lixue questioning her while being covered in blood, asking her why she had instigated her to harm Luo Xinya and why she wanted to kill her…

“No… don’t come near me… I didn’t… You were the one who… fell off the rooftop yourself… don’t come near me… ” Luo Anning slipped into her nightmare and broke out into cold sweat while her forehead creased into a frown. She was in immense pain but she could not seem to wake up.

She was so terrified that she began shivering uncontrollably. However, she was soon pulled into a warm embrace. He caressed her face gently with his dry hands and whispered into her ear, “Don’t be afraid, I’m here… don’t be afraid. I’ll be here for you.”

Rong Yan’s words seemed to be magical, for Luo Anning miraculously stopped murmuring after he spoke. She quietly laid in Rong Yan’s arms like a porcelain doll.

Her face was so haggard and pale that he felt an immense heartache.

Rong Yan stared at Luo Anning who was in his embrace and felt rather emotional to see how haggard she had become.

Seeing that she had calmed down and that the nightmare seemed to be over, Rong Yan finally felt a sense of relief and lifted the duvet to pick her up and walk outside.

Xu Zhiyuan stood outside the metal door. He had naturally heard the sounds of Luo Anning having a nightmare and hence, was not too shocked to see Rong Yan carrying Luo Anning out of the room.

After all, Rong Yan had rushed off to see Old Mr. Jiang in the afternoon and only returned at night. He then headed straight to the police station to see Luo Anning without even going home. Clearly, she meant a great deal to Rong Yan.

The Bureau Chief Chen Keming was the leader of the police officers. Due to the fact that he had already received orders from his superiors, no one dared to stop Rong Yan from taking Luo Anning away.

…

Luo Anning did not fall into a deep sleep in the first place. When she felt someone moving her body, she immediately woke up, only to be greeted with the sight of Auntie Li removing her clothes. Before she could even react, she shrieked in terror and barked, “What are you doing!?!”

Auntie Li was initially astonished and she stared at her with red and swollen eyes. “Young Madam, are you awake? Young Master Rong saw that you weren’t sleeping well so he instructed us to help you wash up so that you can sleep comfortably.”

Luo Anning quickly grabbed her clothes and shook her head. “Auntie Li, I can manage on my own. It’s getting late. You should go get some rest.”

Auntie Li hesitated for a moment and glanced at her worriedly while giving her some reminders. She then left.

Luo Anning’s mind was in a whirlwind and she had no idea how she had returned to Luxury Mansion, nor did she register what Auntie Li said about Rong Yan’s instructions.

“What’s the matter? Are you feeling unwell?”

Suddenly feeling a warm and coarse hand on her forehead, Luo Anning snapped out of her trance and glanced at his handsome face with her gorgeous eyes. She was instantly stunned.
