Lin Huang removed his clothes before he got into the bathtub, he felt like coughing but he had to suppress it with Zhou Hua around, he only produced muffled sounds.
Zhou Hua who was standing at the door felt heartache.
He knew he had to be strong but still, it wasn't as easy as they thought to get used to it, it was traumatic, just watching the person you care about fade away little by little.
He exhaled loudly before calming down and walking back into their bedroom, he opened his suitcase and hit Lin Huang's black pajamas.
He walked back into the bathroom and placed it on the sink beside the towel, "I have placed them.." after notifying him, he walked into the living room and saw the girl giggling on the couch.
He glanced at her before walking into the kitchen, he didn't want to be associated with kids, he never knew how to tend to kinds.
But Jia Jia snorted at him coldly, Zhou Hua heard that, He halted and tilted backward glancing at her dangerously.
"Did you misbehave?" His eyes narrowed at her dangerously but Jia Jia glanced back at the same intensity but with innocent eyes.
Zhou Hua frowned before walking into the kitchen and saw Luo Feng eying him.
"She is just a baby, can't you just be loving and gentle?" Luo Feng retorted at him.
"Loving and gentle? They are preserved for just one person." He took over from where Luo Feng had reached.
"Ohhh, but you have to remember that, Lin Huang adopted that baby." He patted his shoulders before walking into the living room and letting Zhou Hua do the cooking.
He sat down and picked her up before placing her on his lap, she bounced around merrily while giggling.
Lin Huang freshened and dried himself up before wearing his pajamas and walked into the living room, he could see Luo Feng was busy taking care of the baby while Zhou Hua was busy in the kitchen.
He decided to assist Zhou Hua to cook something to eat, "You don't need to help me out, it's oil and hot in here!"
"It's okay.." he began cleaning the vegetables and chopping them.
"Do you know where we are?" He inquired worriedly.
"In another continent far away from home." He gazed at him before going on taking care of the vegetables.
"Ahhh, it's that far?" He was surprised at how far they traveled without a plane.
"Yeah, we will check around and see if we can find a nice house to buy, we have enough money to acquire one. " He suggested his wish.
" But we will be moving around looking for the cure, buying a house is a waste of money. " He didn't like that idea, he didn't feel like he can settle before knowing how to contain his disease.
" We can move around, there are many places surrounding this place, and I think we can find a cure, so once we have had enough of those adventures, we can return to our home and rest before planning for another one. " He played with the knife as he swung it in swift motions.
" Stop playing with the knife! " He had just cautioned him but he suddenly saw a knife flying to the wall and suddenly a woman fell onto the ground.
" What's that? " Zhou Hua panicked as he watched the strange woman take several forms and tried to reach Luo Feng.
" Don't you dare touch her, if I see you touching her hair, I will shave everything from your head." He coldly cautioned her.
"Oowwoo.." she growled loudly while eying the girl in Luo Feng's arms.
Luo Feng tightened his grip around her and shielded her protectively.
Lin Huang got a scale from his body and threw it at her and she immediately caught it.
"I don't care how many people go after you but don't you dare breath a word, or else I won't be merciful." He pulled his knife back magically, it had very little stains of a green substance.
"What was that?" Zhou Hua relaxed and watched as the strange creature vanished through the window, it was open but still, it was daytime, even though the creature could take several forms and even be invisible.
"My dear, stop asking too many questions, you may never have answers.." he tried to cajole him.
"But how did you know that it needed your scale?" How could he let go of such a serious matter, what if they get more into trouble?
"This scale can be refined into drugs and nothing much... let's cook I'm super hungry." He pouted his lips lamenting.
He flicked his forehead gently before he went on with cooking, "don't be merciful all the time, but that creature was after that adopted daughter of yours, you might think you are saving her but instead attracting more danger to us." He politely cautioned him, after all, they had only each other.
They didn't have trained soldiers to protect them and no guards, it was good if they could thread carefully.
"Just tell me, Zhou Hua, do you want us to leave her in an orphanage?" He leaned on the sink and gazed at him worriedly, he was serious and if he said yes, he could do exactly that, he couldn't impose his wishes on him, he had to acknowledge his existence.
"I don't know if you are serious or not, but when you decided to keep her, did you ask for my opinion first? When you brought her along, did you ask for my opinion if I wanted to? Now, why should I bother with whatever decisions you make? Why should I answer this question after you have undertaken all these stages? Why do you think I need to pose my opinions now? " He didn't face him, he just went in stirring the vegetables.
Just think about it carefully, put yourself in my shoes before you could judge me, I'm,"
