Gu Annan carried Lu Wanwan upstairs, and every step felt like a heavy hammer striking her heart.
Her face still had an abnormal flush, and the internal heat had not subsided.
The cool bath she had taken at the hotel had only temporarily relieved her, not resolving the issue entirely.
Now being held by him, more beads of sweat formed on her body.
"Put me down, I can walk by myself." Somehow, her voice sounded hoarse.
Gu Annan did not even glance at her, nor did he plan to put her down.
He responded with a voice so chillingly mocking, "Haven't you seen what you look like? This is what you call being able to walk on your own?"
Her heart ached as if it had been stabbed by an ice pick.
In the past, when he spoke similar words, wanting to hold her, it never made her heart feel as if it had suddenly sunk to the bottom of the sea.
"I can walk on my own!"
A cold grunt came from above, yet there was no further conversation.
At the door, Gu Annan kicked open the just-turned doorknob.
