Chapter 1175: Satisfied

Yet Jing Ruyue could faintly hear her daughter calling out to her.

She searched for the source and followed the voice. As she walked closer, her daughter’s voice got louder.

Alice kept calling out to Jing Ruyue, until the stage where she could feel her throat getting drier.

Mo Yutian stayed beside Alice, and suddenly he noticed something.

“Look!” Mo Yutian exclaimed. “Her eyes are moving!”

The comment made Mo Xie jump up from his couch to take a closer look. And it was as Mo Yutian had said, Jing Ruyue’s eyelashes were shaking as her eyes moved slightly.

Those were signs of Jing Ruyue waking up from her deep slumber.

“It’s working!” Mo Xie shouted. “Keep calling her name!”

Alice continued to call out to Jing Ruyue as Mo Xie had requested.

Even though Alice was not able to wake Jing Ruyue right away, Mo Xie was still satisfied with her performance.

“You can leave now,” Mo Xie said to Mo Yutian. “The girl stays.”

Mo Xie intended to let Alice continue what she did that day on the next day, and Mo Yutian understood what his father meant.

But Mo Yutian was not happy with letting his wife stay at the old castle alone.

What was more was that Alice clearly showed signs that she was afraid of Mo Xie, and there was no way she wanted to stay at the castle.

Alice grabbed Mo Yutian’s hand and pleaded with her eyes.

“Do you want to go back?” Mo Yutian asked with a low voice.

Alice nodded.

Mo Yutian frowned as he recalled when Xu Xiyan had first come to the castle, she did not want to leave her mother’s side.

And yet the girl in front of him wanted to leave.

“Father, I’ll take my wife back now,” Mo Yutian said. “I’ll bring her over tomorrow.”

Since Mo Xie was relying on Alice to wake Jing Ruyue up, he agreed to their demand.

And for the next few days, Mo Yutian brought Alice over to the castle every day.

Until one day when Alice noticed Jing Ruyue moving her finger and shouted, “She’s awake!”

Both of the men quickly turned their heads towards Jing Ruyue; her eyes were wide open.

“Yue’er!” Mo Xue exclaimed, unable to believe that she’d woken up sooner than he’d expected.

He grabbed her hands and called out to her gently.

Jing Ruyue was indeed awake, but the one who had woken her up was not Mo Xie but her daughter.

Even though she’d opened her eyes, her mind was still a mess.

She had been sleeping for too long, and she needed a few minutes to get used to what was happening.

After struggling for a while, Jing Ruyue was finally able to see clearly.

“Do you know how long I’ve waited for this day?” Mo Xie cried, unlike his usual calm self.

Jing Ruyue was searching in her head, trying to remember who the man in front of her was.

“Mum?”

Jing Ruyue heard someone calling her, and she turned to see where the voice was coming from.

It was a beautiful girl, and Jing Ruyue could not believe that her daughter had grown up to become an adult.

She tried to talk, but when she tried to open her mouth, she could not make any sound.

“Hey, don’t rush yourself,” Mo Xie said. “Your body is still weak, and you need to rest.”
