The little girl was breaking into an increasingly heavy sweat.

All of a sudden, the little girl in his arms began to cry…

Beiming Han thought she was uncomfortable and quickly let go of her. He cupped her face and with furrowed brows called out to her, “Little girl, wake up… you’re safe now. Open your eyes and look around.”

Even though Gu Qingxin heard Beiming Han’s voice, she thought she was dreaming. Her long eyelashes trembled slightly; finally, she opened her eyes. The room was dimly lit, and the face of the man in front of her was blurred…

“Wahh… horrible… wahh… 1 am dirty… dirty!” Gu Qingxin abruptly raised her hands to cover her face, starting to cry even harder.

“No, you’re not dirty. You are still clean. That evil man didn’t touch you,” Beiming Han pulled her hands away, grasping her chin and forcing her to look at him.

With disbelief, Gu Qingxin blinked her tear-soaked eyes and sniffled, “Really? I wasn’t touched by that horrible man…?”

“No! You’re mine, you’ve always been mine!” Beiming Han pulled her tightly into his embrace, whispering in her ear.

As he held the still shivering little girl, an inexplicable affection began to grow in his chest…

Gu Qingxin laid her face on his chest, reassured by his confirmation, her eyes once again closed, and she fell into a peaceful sleep…

Beiming Han, looking down at the little girl who had fallen asleep instantly, seriously suspected whether she had been truly awake or if she had been dreaming.

Bowing his head to kiss her forehead, her temperature had come down, even her previously flushed cheeks had gradually returned to their natural paleness.

The girl’s fever was subsiding, Beiming Han breathed a sigh of relief, no longer needing to worry about her health.

When Gu Qingxin woke up, she was struck by an agonizing headache as if someone had struck her repeatedly. Despite multiple attempts, she was unsuccessful in sitting up and eventually gave up. Finally managing to open her eyes, she was met with a white ceiling.

She touched her forehead, she clearly remembered jumping into the sea. Could it be that she didn’t die? Had those bad people captured her again? No, even if she was captured again, she would jump once more!

Under no circumstances… would she allow herself to exist in this world in such filthiness!

However, it seemed like she had a dream yesterday, she dreamt of Beiming Han. He was embracing her, telling her that she wasn’t dirty…

Moreover, it seemed like she had eaten a really delicious, soft mint candy…

Staring at the ceiling above, she thought her eyes were playing tricks on her. She blinked rapidly; the ceiling light was different from the terrifying room on the boat…

What in the world was going on?

As the door was pushed open, Gu Qingxin instantly looked over. The first sight to meet her eyes was Bai Jingqing, wearing a white coat and carrying a faint smile on his face.

“Awake yet? How do you feel?” Bai Jingqing approached her bed, a nurse trailing behind him.

Amidst her astonishment, Gu Qingxin, unable to believe her own eyes, stared at him, “1… am 1 not dreaming?”

“You’re not dreaming. You’re in a hospital in Ming City. You’re safe now, and no one will harm you,” Bai Jingqing answered sincerely, feeling sympathetic for her ordeal.

Not a dream?

That meant her jump into the sea, the sensation of being rescued and seeing Beiming Han holding her in her daze was not a dream!

Yesterday, Beiming Han had said that she was not dirty, and the one who wanted her had always been him. This was all real!

So, that repulsive man had not violated her…

“Let’s take your temperature first.” Bai Jingqing instructed the nurse to clip a thermometer onto her.

“Tell me where you’re uncomfortable.”

“My head hurts! 1 feel weak,” Gu Qingxin responded after snapping back to reality.

In truth, her body was in severe pain, but she was too embarrassed to mention it.

“You’ve contracted pneumonia because of your high fever. Don’t worry, by tomorrow, you should start to feel better.” Bai Jingqing looked at her thermometer; it seemed she still had a slight fever.

“Thank you, Doctor Bai,” Gu Qingxin gratefully thanked him.

“As I’ve said, don’t thank me. Everything I did was as my older brother instructed.” Bai Jingqing smiled as he responded.

Gu Qingxin,”…”

“I will personally thank him.”

Gu Qingxin knew that her survival this time was certainly due to Beiming Han’s rescue. It would be good if only he didn’t do those terrifying things to her again.

After Bai Jingqing and the nurse left, the ward was left with only her. A sense of loneliness instantly invaded her heart; previously, whenever she was sick, her mother would always stay by her bedside.

But now, she was all alone. Her mother too was lying in a ward just like her.

Her eyes welling up with unshed tears, she bit down hard on her lips to stop herself from crying, no matter how unbearable the grief, she knew she had to stay strong…

She had no room to be weak at the moment…

Her throat was arid and sore, as though on fire. Suppressing the pain, she slowly sat up and poured herself a glass of water to drink.

As she slowly replaced the glass, she suddenly remembered that last night her throat had felt the same way. Afterwards, someone had given her water to drink, and that was when she tasted the delicious soft mint candy…

But… are there soft mint candies?

The door to the ward was pushed open once again. Gu Qingxin quickly finished the remaining water in her glass. The nurse came in with an IV bag and said, “Miss Gu, you should lie down first.”

Gu Qingxin put the glass down and leaned back onto the bed. She asked, “Nurse, which hospital is this?”

“This is Beiren Hospital.” The nurse answered while hanging up the IV bag, preparing to set up Gu Qingxin’s IV.

Beiren…

Her mother was also hospitalized at Beiren. If she finished with the drip, could she go see her mother then?

With these thoughts, Gu Qingxin’s mood inexplicably lightened.

She was reminded of the matters of the orphanage, the dean was still waiting for her to transfer money over for the kids’ treatment.

Never could Gu Qingxin have guessed that the entertainment city would do such terrible things as human trafficking.

She wondered whether those two evildoers who harmed her were apprehended or not!

Once she recovered, she would definitely expose them….
