Back to reality, Ning Zhi opened up her eyes slowly.

Before this last trip, she had always viewed these as completing her assignments. She felt that little Lu Jue was pitiful and cute and that the whole experience was very noble.

There was a dull feeling in her chest after she returned this time.

She wished that little Lu Jue would remember his Sister Angel in the past but, now, she wished that he wouldn’t. That way he couldn’t count everyday until they meet again.

The night was very quiet.

Ning Zhi turned and looked at Lu Jue with his eyes closed. His outline was distinct under the dim light and all of the childishness was gone from his look. The hair over his forehead rested there submissively, as docile as little Lu Jue.

She scooted over closer to him.

Ning Zhi reached out stealthily, stroked his hair, and said tenderly, “Sweet dreams, Xiao Juejue.”

The next day, the sun shined into the room through the floor-to-ceiling window. The light-blue colored curtains rustled in the soft breeze.

Lu Jue had already gone jogging by the time Ning Zhi woke up. She had never once seen Lu Jue sleeping in, or napping. His biological clock was more precise than an alarm clock.

She struggled for quite a while before she finally got out of bed.

Someone knocked on the door at the same time.

Ning Zhi opened up the door. “What’s the matter, Aunty Hua?”

Aunty Hua replied, “Madam asked me to have you go downstairs.”

Ning Zhi was baffled, “Did she say what it is about?”

Aunty Hua, “The expert that First Young Master had hired for Second Young Master had arrived. Madam wants you to accompany Second Young Master to the hospital.”

Ning Zhi knew that Lu Shenyuan had mentioned that he was looking for a doctor for Lu Jue.

After the few incidents of Lu Shenyuan setting up Lu Jue back in their childhood, Ning Zhi had a lot of doubts about Lu Shenyuan’s concern for his brother.

There was a possibility that he did what he did when he was a child because he was envious of Lu Jue and wanted to the adults’ favorite or that they were just pranks because he had disliked Lu Jue. But he had grown into a good big brother who cared about his younger brother.

Nevertheless, Ning Zhi leaned more toward the fact that Lu Shenyuan did not just become a good big brother. Instead, he was just putting up a front to fool those around him.

“Okay. I will.” Ning Zhi, too, wanted to find out about Lu Jue’s situation.

Ning Zhi changed into a beige dress. Her skin was lighter now and a sweet color like this looked good on her.

She went downstairs and found Mother Lu, Lu Shenyuan, and Lin Tiantian there. Father Lu had probably left for the office.

Mother Lu looked like she was in good-spirit today and she said to Ning Zhi, “Ah, you are here. Let’s accompany Xiao Jue to the hospital together after breakfast. The doctor is already there waiting for him.”

She then went on to say that, “Xiao Jue resents the hospital quite a bit. You will need to try to talk him into it.” Ning Zhi was the only one that he listened to.

Ning Zhi nodded.

She inadvertently glanced over at Lin Tiantian and was surprised to see a pimple above her lip and the dark circles under her eyes. She looked like she hadn’t been well rested.

Compared to the time when Lin Tiantian had 100% of the halo, she was already looking disheveled after losing just 20% of it.

Ning Zhi felt that Lin Tiantian would lose her mind if she turned back into how she used to be. She was quite interested for the day to come.

Lin Tiantian had been frantic the last few days. She had taken the pendant to be fixed and the crack on the jade had already been filled, leaving no signs that it was one broken.

Nevertheless, she had learned that even with the jade fixed, she was still unable to take the halo back from Ning Zhi.

Looking at Ning Zhi in front of her with her skin becoming better and her features more 3-dimensional, Lin Tiantian was very irritated and, at the same time, felt uneasy.

Why was there a crack on her jade and why was it that when the halo returned to Ning Zhi, she wasn’t able to take it back again?
