Liu Juan wasn't able to see their faces but their voices and physique looked similar. A sheen of sweat formed on her forehead and she quivered and then she recalled that Mo Jiang and Zhou Xuiye had come to save her.
Mo Jiang noticed the frown on her brows and he asked anxiously, "What happened? Are you feeling any discomfort anywhere?"
"Those men...How are they alive? I had killed them---"
"Shh…" Mo Jiang interrupted her and he touched his forehead to hers and whispered, "They are gone. I am here. You have nothing to worry about."
Zhou Xuiye didn't know what kind of state of mind Liu Juan would wake up with. So she had already warned him to not mention anything about her past and about those men to her and just gave her assurance.
Zhou Xuiye's suggestion worked.
Hearing Mo Jiang's assurance, Liu Juan calmed down and didn't ask further.
"Jiang…"
"Hm?" Mo Jiang looked at him.
"I am hungry." Liu Juan said and her stomach growled loudly.
He immediately called for food as well for Zhou Xuiye.
The sky had turned bright just now, so it was the right time for breakfast. Liu Juan washed her face with the help of Mo Jiang and ate breakfast.
Although the food wasn't as good as the food cooked by Mo Jiang, it was still pleasant enough to fill her hungry stomach which had been empty for so long.
Zhou Xuiye first sighed heavily hearing that Liu Juan had finally woken up, otherwise Mo Jiang would have turned her mad by asking questions and interrupting her work.
Then she rushed to Liu Juan's room.
Initially, Liu Juan didn't think much as she was hungry but once her stomach was full, and seeing Zhou Xuiye, Liu Juan's mind recalled everything that had happened before she passed out.
"Those men...Are they still alive?" Liu Juan worriedly asked with fear clearly evident in her eyes.
"No. They aren't alive." Zhou Xuiye said.
Mo Jiang sat beside Liu Juan while giving her his support by holding her hand.
"Then…"
"Those men that night were just some actors who looked similar to those three men whom you had killed. I had arranged to put on an act just to let you know that no one can hurt you in the presence of Mo Jiang, your husband, in this life."
Mo Jiang moved his hand to her shoulder and put her in his embrace to provide her with reassurance. "Yes, no one can hurt my wife."
"You are not angry at me anymore, are you?" Liu Juan looked up and asked him.
"I wasn't angry at you in the first place." Mo Jiang said the truth.
"Liu Juan, whatever we did was just a way to treat you." Zhou Xuiye said.
"So we are still friends?" Liu Juan asked Zhou Xuiye to which Zhou Xuiye smiled and nodded.
"Your nightmare didn't come when you were sleeping, did it?" Zhou Xuiye asked as she turned into a professional doctor.
"No. There were just some dreams." Liu Juan replied.
"What kind of dreams?" Zhou Xuiye asked. Mo Jiang quietly listened to their talk.
Liu Juan's brows frowned and she tried to recall her dreams. "I don't remember it clearly, but I was happy and Jiang was with me everywhere." She said after recalling a little bit.
Zhou Xuiye nodded and wrote down something on the paper when she heard Liu Jaun's question. "I won't be having those nightmares anymore, right?"
Liu Juan looked at her with a glint of hope-filled in her eyes.
Her nightmares were killing her and she didn't want to die so soon. She wanted to live with Mo Jiang and live the same blissful life which she had dreamt of; not that she exactly remembered her dreams but she knew she would be happy as long as Mo Jiang would be there in her life.
"I can't say for sure now, but you can stop them from haunting you ever." Zhou Xuiye replied patiently.
"How?"
"By telling me everything about your past."
Instantly, Liu Jaun's body stiffened.
It was a painful path to recall her past and she didn't want to walk on that path.
"Listen, Juan, it isn't that I don't know about your past. I know everything. Mo Jiang has told me everything so I know what you have passed through but still, I want to hear from you because once you take out your grievances, you will be free. Think about it and let me know." Zhou Xuiye patted on the back of Liu Juan's hands and stood up to leave. "Take care of yourself."
She walked towards the door but then halted in between and said. "Ohhh...I forgot to mention something. Mo Jiang has something important to say to you. Do ask him?"
Both Mo Jiang and Liu Juan frowned at her words.
Something important.
What?
Then, Zhou Xuiye flashed a mysterious smile to the two of them and walked away "See you later."
Mo Jiang really wanted to kill Zhou Xuiye at that moment. He had planned a better place to confess his feelings to Liu Juan but Zhou Xuiye had poured cold water on it. "B*tch!" he cursed under his breath.
"What do you want to say?" Liu Juan looked at him with a questioning look.
"Ahh…Urgh." Mo Jiang cleared his throat a few times but nothing came out.
Liu Juan's brows knotted seeing his hesitation and worriedly asked, "Did something bad happen to me ---"
"No! What are you saying? I won't let anything bad happen to you." Mo Jiang immediately interrupted her.
"Then?"
"That…" Mo Jiang didn't know how to say but then he took a deep breath and burst out. "I love you."
