With just those simple words, Lei Qian eased Bai Meiyue’s anxiety. She sighed in relief before closing her eyes and leaning her head against Lei Qian’s chest. The pain in her body receded slightly. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
Once Lei Qian returned home, he helped Bai Meiyue onto the couch and said to her, "Pack up once you feel better. We leave this place as soon as possible. What’s the point of staying here when things have become like this already?"
He turned to look at his sister and said the same thing to her, "Go and tell Mom that we are leaving. There is no point in staying in this rotten place anymore. If we are going to fight the danger ourselves, then what is the point of staying in this place?"
Lei Yan was also not happy. In her eyes, Bai Meiyue was her sister-in-law, which made Bai Meiyue, her family. So, how could she not be upset upon seeing her in this condition? Lei Yan nodded and turned to walk out of the penthouse. She was going to tell her mother to pack up, as there was no point in staying here anymore.
Yu Miaomiao didn’t give them the one thing that they deserved for staying in the base; thus, she could not blame them for moving.
Once she left, Lei Qian turned to look at the Bai brothers before saying to them, "You all pack up as well, we are going to get out of here as soon as possible. We are not going to stay here. Not even for another hour."
Seeing Lei Qian’s anger and resentment, Bai Meiyue sighed. She pushed him away from her and said, "You are suffocating me; calm down. It’s too hot."
Only then did Lei Qian restrain his temper, but he was still burning with rage. He held Bai Meiyue in his arms and asked, "Are you really alright? Should we not go and ask Shen Zhen to take a look at you and the baby?"
"I am fine. There is no need to alert Shen Zhen," said Bai Meiyue as she shook her head and then turned to the window. Her eyes were calm as she stared at the sky that had slowly turned dark. She didn’t stop Lei Qian from moving because of the things that happened today; if they still didn’t leave, then Bai Meiyue was afraid that Yu Miaomiao would take them as cowards. Did she think that she could try to corner her, and Bai Meiyue would be fine with it? She must be dreaming for sure.
She closed her eyes and tried to ease her breathing. Even though she told Lei Qian that she was fine, her pelvis was still hurting, and her legs were aching due to carrying the weight of her body for so long. She would need a long dip in hot water; only then would she be fine.
