Plagued by bad reviews, but the top actress!

Thinking of the past happiness, Long Xuanye’s slightly shaken heart once again became resolute.

"Junior Sister, it’s time to drink your medicine."

Xia Weibao turned her head back, her eyes blank.

In her state, there was not a trace of vitality.

Back when they met at the Xia Family, she was still full of energy.

Long Xuanye suddenly felt some pity, "Junior Sister, do you want to go outside for a walk?"

Xia Weibao was surprised, "You are willing to let me out?"

That kind of retort was like a needle piercing Long Xuanye’s heart. To her, was going out already a luxury?

"Finish the medicine and rest well. In a few days, I’ll take you out for a stroll."

"Okay." Xia Weibao agreed and lowered her head to drink the medicine.

If she could go outdoors, then Lu Hualiang’s chances of finding her would be greater.

After drinking the medicine, Long Xuanye helped her lie down and then stayed by the bedside until she fell asleep before leaving.

He had to make arrangements to take her out without being discovered and also plan a withdrawal route.

Once their whereabouts were discovered, they had to evacuate immediately.

The Aegean Sea was not within his plan; he had no prior deployment there, making it easy to expose their tracks.

That day, Long Xuanye didn’t return, and Xia Weibao enjoyed the peace.

After her nap, she even walked to the window to enjoy the scenery.

Unfortunately, all the places Long Xuanye chose were far from the crowd, so she could only see the view within the courtyard.

This was a hillside villa, offering quite a nice view.

After a while, her waist felt sore, and she lay down on the bed again.

Every day, all she did was lie down; she was almost moldy.

Gently stroking her belly, she talked to the baby inside, not knowing where Lu Hualiang was or what he was doing now.

In the evening, when the maid brought in dinner, Xia Weibao noticed the maid’s attitude was a bit strange, seemingly very guarded against her.

This maid used to be all smiles, but today she didn’t smile, and her eyes were somewhat cold.

Xia Weibao was puzzled but didn’t ask.

Although she had been cared for by this person for two months, they spoke little and were not familiar.

As long as there’s no poison in her food, that’s fine.

After eating, Xia Weibao took a bath. With nothing to entertain herself with, she could only lie in bed in a daze and unknowingly fell asleep.

Once again, her dreams were restless—a scene of blood, wailing, blood staining half the sky red, and flames consuming everything.

Majestic palaces, splendid and magnificent, yet so heavy as to be suffocating.

Hatred, endless hatred, a final sharp sword, blood-soaked earth.

"Ah—"

Xia Weibao screamed and jolted awake, only to find out it was dawn.

"What, had a nightmare?"

A man’s cold voice came from beside her.

Xia Weibao was startled and turned her head to see Long Xuanye sitting by the bed with a cold face, his eyes devoid of any warmth as he looked at her.

Such an icy gaze, just like when she was first placed under house arrest, devoid of any emotion.

Xia Weibao’s heart trembled. This kind of Long Xuanye was terrifying, capable of losing control at any moment.

If it was just herself, she wouldn’t be afraid.

But now, with a child inside her, she had to be cautious.

"You... what is wrong?" Xia Weibao asked cautiously, instinctively protecting her belly with her hands.

The defensive action made the aura around Long Xuanye even colder.

His gaze carried a sting, and his heart hurt even more.

"You never thought about staying by my side, did you?"

For days she had been obedient and cooperative, and their interactions had been pleasant. He thought she had begun to accept him, attempting to get along with him.

Unexpectedly, it was all an illusion!
