"All right, don't stay up too late, and take care of your health," Xia Ningxing nodded and picked up the medicine bowl again, "and drink the medicine so your stomach doesn't start hurting again later!"
"Mhm..." To put her at ease, Lu Tingli reached out and drained the medicine.
After he had finished, he handed the empty bowl back to her, "All gone, not a drop left."
"Then you should get back to work," Xia Ningxing watched his retreating figure.
Lu Tingli entered the study with a guilty conscience.
In truth, he didn't have any work to do. He was simply worried that she might discover the unusual state of his body.
That night, Lu Tingli stayed up all night in the study, smoking.
The thought of leaving this world, leaving his wife, his children, and so many loved ones...
His heart ached terribly.
It felt numb and stiff.
"Take good care of your mom," Lu Tingli instructed the three children at home before leaving on a business trip.
