44. Children's Welfare Home

Chapter 124

On the other side of the phone, Liu Huai's voice was heard as he tried to suppress some emotion. "Jiayi, can I pick you up now? I want to see you."

Liu Jiayi's originally indifferent expression visibly softened and her soft voice filled with joy. "However, the welfare home will organize the matching and open the doors tomorrow. Brother, can you wait for me until tomorrow? We will meet tomorrow!"

"...Someone told me about a tunnel leading to the welfare home and I came here through that tunnel." Liu Huai closed his eyes, his throat moved and he couldn't help choking up. "I only have 1 health left. I might not be able to wait until tomorrow. Jiayi, I want to see you before I die."

Liu Jiayi's breathing paused and she instantly looked like she had frozen into a block of ice.

She gripped the phone hard and didn't even notice that Liu Huai had used exploratory words and lied about his health when speaking to her. She directly and quickly asked, "How did it fall so low? Where are you now?"

Shouldn't Liu Huai stay at the hospital? Even if Liu Huai had given up on hunting her blood and reached a cooperation with Bai Liu to protect the children, Liu Huai's personal skill meant he shouldn't fall to this level when facing monsters and Miao Feichi. His skills meant he could run and hide.

Based on Liu Huai's personality, he hated being controlled by others. Due to her hints, Liu Huai understood that Bai Liu controlled people using goods and needed the consent of the other party. Liu Huai knew the multiple restrictions on Bai Liu's skill and shouldn't be easily controlled by Bai Liu.

What the hell happened last night? Why did Liu Huai's health fall to only 1?

Liu Huai, who had only 1 health left, was like bait deliberately made by an opponent who knew her well to catch her.

This idea flashed through Liu Jiayi's mind but it was soon interrupted by Liu Huai's weak voice.

"I'm in the church."

If she didn't go and heal Liu Huai tonight, Liu Huai would undoubtedly die. Liu Jiayi quickly realized this.

"Okay, Brother. You stay in the church and don't move." Liu Jiayi took a deep breath. She walked around anxiously, forcing herself to calm down. Even so, her hand holding the phone shook badly. "You wait for Jiayi to come over, okay? Jiayi will be there soon!"

Liu Huai's voice became softer. "Can I really wait for you, Jiayi?"

Liu Jiayi's eyes were red and she gritted her teeth. "Wait there. Brother, believe in me. I definitely won't let you have an accident. I will come straight away."

Liu Huai was quiet for a long time before replying in a soft voice, so soft it was almost inaudible.

"I believe you, Jiayi."

Liu Jiayi took a deep breath.

After the phone was hung up, Mu Ke leaned in anxiously and asked Liu Huai, "How is it? Does Liu Jiayi suspect you? Will she come?"

Liu Huai shook his head slowly and woodenly. "She didn't doubt me." He paused before continuing, "She seemed... panicked."

"The panic shows that she cares about you. She should come but she won't be completely unprepared. The church is a safe place for her and she might be less vigilant here." Bai Liu touched his chin thoughtfully. "I think that based on Liu Jiayi's vigilance, there might be variables when she arrives at the location, even if she is panicked."

Liu Jiayi hurriedly walked through the dark welfare home.

The black witch's robe that symbolized her identity was gone. It was replaced with the very ordinary clothes of the children in the welfare home.
