She Becomes Glamorous After The Engagement Annulment Ⅱ - Chapter 1712
Chapter 1712: She Is Actually Rather Adorable (2)
Lu Nanze looked at her and sighed. Then, lightly and awkwardly, he hummed a few bars of a lullaby.
Initially, he had thought that Traceless was asleep, but unexpectedly Traceless sighed and said, “Mom, your singing is getting from bad to worse.”
Lu Nanze: …!!
He turned pale with anger and tried to shake her hand off. But when he moved, she tightened her grip on his hand.
It wasn’t as though Lu Nanze wasn’t able to shake her off forcefully.
But he saw the freshly re-stitched wound and knew that if he were to shake her off with force, it could tear her wound open again.
He could only stand there and ignore her.
After a while, he realized that Traceless kept talking in her dream. He could not hear most of what she said. He knitted his brow.
After a moment of contemplation, he suddenly extended his hand as though he had realized something. He placed his hand on her forehead.
It was burning. He finally realized that Traceless was running a fever.
Indeed, her wound was festering. How could she not run a fever?
But what should he do now?
He frowned and got to his feet. Then he gently moved her hand away. He went downstairs and opened a drawer. After taking some antiseptic solution and an anti-inflammatory, he went upstairs again.
When he took medicine, he never needed water, he would just gulp his pills. Then he realized that Traceless was a girl, so he turned around and poured out a glass of water. With this, he went back upstairs with the medicine.
When he entered the room, he saw Traceless on the floor, both arms flailing in the air. She didn’t seem to notice the pain, even when her hand hit the bedside table.
She was crying, “Mom, Mom.”
His pupils shrank back at once.
It was in their weakest moment that a person would expose their greatest fear.
She kept calling out for her mother. What could have happened in the past?
Almost everyone in the underground world knew that Liang Liang and Traceless had almost become a couple.
Eventually, they broke up, but apart from the two people involved, no one really knew the details.
But honestly…
A professional thief and a police officer in a relationship had to take a lot of guts.
But even then, Liang Liang should have never given up on her.
He had left her in this plight now, without anyone to rely on.
Besides, Liang Liang’s relentless pursuit of the professional thief now had caused him to be much despised.
The people of the underground world valued relationships.
Since they had been together once upon a time, why couldn’t he just let her go?
After all, although Traceless was a thief, she had never done anything evil or violent.
Lu Nanze frowned as this thought crossed his mind.
Then he heard Traceless giving a loud cry, “Liang Liang, I hate you!”
Those words seemed to carry all her emotions in them.
She must hate him to the extreme, to be shouting like that.
Unconsciously, Lu Nanze felt her pain.
He quickly placed the water and medicine down and rushed over to her. He grabbed her arm and said, “Stop it now. Go back to sleep.”
The moment she grabbed him, she calmed down.
He lifted her from the floor and put her back in bed. As he did so, he saw that her masked face was already wet with tears.
He sighed lightly and, for a moment, was compelled to remove her mask to dry her tears.
But once more, his hand froze in mid-air.
He narrowed his eyes. Since the girl had come wearing the mask, then her intention of hiding her face was obvious. It would be ungentlemanly of him to remove her mask then.
