"How could I not recognize you..." Heather didnāt know what she had been through herself, "I heard your voice..."
Indeed...
What happened to her?
She seemed to be in some kind of space, with nothing and no one around.
She thought she was lost and couldnāt find her way out.
But suddenly, from a very far distance, she heard his voice.
Recognizing it instantly, she followed the voice and found the exit.
And then she saw him.
"Hmm... Itās good youāre awake..." Li Sinian brushed aside her hair, dampened with cold sweat, and set it aside.
"Who made you angry?"
"No one."
Unlike his earlier loud voice, he lowered his volume to be very gentle. He didnāt care if there were others around him or if his image as a leader was affected in any way.
This was surprising to others, as they had never seen such emotional swings from the leader. One moment he was like a murderous Shura, the next, he was as tender as water.
"Then why were you so angry..." Her eyes were misty and not very focused, "I could hear you yelling from far away..."
"Sorry, did I disturb you?"
Heather glanced around the place she was in and then looked at him, "Have we already left?"
He nodded.
"What about Night Hawk?"
"He got away. But I promise you, I will bring back his head."
Heather nodded, tears streaming from her eyes, "Ah Nian... if you hadnāt come... I really couldnāt have held on..."
"Iām sorry..." Her tears felt like knives carving into his heart, it hurt so much, "I came too late, letting you suffer so much."
"I remembered your words... you would definitely come for me... but I really donāt want to wait any longer... Iām in so much pain..." At this moment, Heather was as fragile as a thin sheet of rice paper, "Heās my nightmare..."
"Itās okay, donāt be afraid..." He softly comforted her emotions, "I will end your nightmare, Iām here."
Heather nodded slightly, blinking her eyes, exhausted. "I want to sleep... so tired..."
"Sleep," he spoke as if talking to something fragile, "When you wake up, everything will be fine, Iāll be watching over you."
Heather didnāt reply; after blinking a few times, she closed her eyes and quietly fell asleep.
Because of Heatherās sudden awakening, Li Sinianās emotions finally stabilized. When he stood up again, he was no longer as agitated as before but reverted to his calm and composed self, softly saying, "Conduct the examination for me immediately."
If he matched, he would give it to her without a second thought!
The only fear was that this likelihood was not high.
...
When the examination results came out, he didnāt wait for the announcement; he already knew the answer was no, otherwise they wouldnāt have had such expressions.
"Iām very sorry, Leader... You and Miss Sevry... are not a match."
Qianxun saw Li Sinian clench his fist for a moment.
She knew that if he matched, he would definitely give it to Heather without blinking an eye.
"Leader, donāt worry, there are so many people out there, we will definitely find a suitable match," Lucia could only offer comfort from the side, "All the brothers have been tested already, as soon as thereās a match, including myself, Lucia, weāll die a thousand deaths and definitely give it to her."
