Chapter 1716

This isn’t real, it must not be real.

She refuses to believe that just a few days ago, he was a living and breathing person.

Now, he has become a cold corpse.

Yet, his body is right here in front of her.

Right…

within her sight.

“Grandpa…”

She can’t believe it, refuses to believe this is all real.

But Grandpa’s body is so cold, there’s not a trace of life on him.

Nothing…

nothing at all!

She wants to reach out and touch him, but her outstretched hand is pulled back by someone.

She is too weak to struggle, knowing only that Grandpa will never smile at her again, never wake up and love her.

“Grandpa…”

Her vision darkens, her body goes limp, and she collapses instantly.

Mu Xiaojiu lifts her up horizontally, turning back to glance at Ye Hua.

Ye Hua nods immediately, “I’ll take care of Baili Yang’s affairs.”

Only then does Mu Xiaojiu stride away with Baili Xia in his arms.

This girl can’t stand the shock; he was already mentally prepared for her to faint at any moment.

Now, the fear isn’t that she’ll faint, but what she’ll do when she wakes up.

This delicate body can’t handle much more turmoil.

…

Baili Xia, as if always in the depths of despair, dreams filled with scenes of Grandpa being bullied in prison.

She even sees Mu Xuri holding a gun to her Grandpa’s temple.

With a bang, blood spreads rapidly.

The sky and earth filled with crimson, making the whole dream indescribably real and horrifying!

In this nightmare, she is endlessly haunted, continually tossed and turned.

…

A day and a night have passed.

This girl has been unconscious for a day and a night, without any sign of waking.

“Mr. Xiaojiu, I’ve done my best; she doesn’t want to wake up.”

Standing by, Nangong Xu’s expression is indifferent, arguably colder than usual.

However, an imperceptible trace of heartache still passed through his eyes unavoidably.

He never intended to hurt Baili Xia since he kneeled before her, confessing, pledging his life to her.

He whole-heartedly only wanted to be good to her.

Whether openly or secretly, he harbors no ill will toward her.

It’s just that fate played a cruel hand.

Was hiding things from her with Mr.

Xiaojiu a form of harm?

Perhaps, it’s a significant injury in itself…

Mu Xiaojiu sits by the bed, holding Baili Xia’s weak little hand gently in his grasp.

“Her body is not unwell, it’s likely that she’s overly shocked, trapped in her dreams, unable to wake.”

Having practiced medicine for so many years, this situation is not unheard of.

The timing for waking up depends on mental encouragement rather than medication alone.

But now, with her aversion to Mr.

Xiaojiu, it’s feared that he may not be able to help.

“Mr. Nangong, was there anything unusual found with Baili Yang’s remains?”

Ye Hua, seeing the silence, couldn’t hold back from asking.

Nangong Xu shook his head, “I checked personally, found nothing unusual, it was heart failure.”

Ye Hua didn’t say anything more, and Mu Xiaojiu merely stayed silent.

Baili Yang’s heart was always unwell, heart failure was inevitable.

However, this incident was too sudden and too quick.

So fast, it caught everyone off guard.

“Mr.

Xiaojiu, the press conference today…”

Ye Hua, worried he might forget, couldn’t help but remind, “Mr.

Xuri might have already gone, Mr.

Xiaojiu, when…

will you leave?”
