He had knelt all night, and his legs were already numb. Without support, he simply couldn’t stand.
Yao hurried forward, just as he touched Dan Tingye, he saw Tingye’s body sway, seemingly about to fall to the side.
"Young master!"
"I’m fine."
Dan Tingye quickly reached out, supporting himself on the ground with one arm, barely stabilizing his body. A hint of bleakness flashed across his eyes.
He couldn’t even get himself to stand now; thankfully, she wasn’t here, or who knows how guilty she would feel.
He tried several times, yet his feet remained numb. Forget standing, even when he hit them with effort, he couldn’t feel a thing.
"Young master, please have some water first. I’ve scheduled a doctor, they’ll be in shortly." Yao supported him carefully, taking gentle steps to the sofa, allowing him to sit down, and poured a cup of hot water, placing it on the table.
Just as he was about to turn around, something suddenly struck him, stopping him in his tracks.
"Young master, the gatekeeper just reported, saying... saying..."
"Saying what?" Dan Tingye raised his pale, handsome face slowly, looking at him coldly, seemingly indifferent.
"Miss Meimei didn’t want to leave yesterday and waited outside the villa all night. The gatekeeper was afraid of disturbing you, so they didn’t report it." Yao finished speaking, feeling a chill run down his spine.
"Bang—"
The cup in Dan Tingye’s hand flew out, crashing heavily against the wall. Water and shattered glass splashed everywhere, and his previously indifferent face was instantly engulfed in a raging storm, appearing fierce, gritting his teeth.
"What did you just say, repeat it to me?"
She didn’t leave, but actually waited outside the villa all night...
Has she gone mad?
Imagining her lonely figure standing weakly in the wind all night, Dan Tingye felt a sharp pang slice through his chest!
His thin frame attempted to rise from the sofa, but his powerless legs caused him to fall heavily back.
It shattered his rationality, yet immediately returned him to normal.
In his current state, he couldn’t even get to her, what’s the point of going out? To have her worry again after waiting all night?
"Young master, Miss Meimei insists on seeing you and still refuses to leave. Should I let her come in?" Yao glanced at the complicated expression on Dan Tingye’s face, cautiously asking.
These past couple of days, things have been non-stop. His own heart was racing to his throat, and if this continues, while the master might be fine, he, as the subordinate, might just have a heart attack!
"Call Jiang Nan and let him come take her home." Damn Jiang Nan, Meimei sneaked out for the entire night, is he a pig, hasn’t realized it yet!
"Understood."
Yao received the order, hurriedly preparing to arrange it, and as he reached the outside of the door, he heard a disputing voice.
"Miss Meimei, the young master really hasn’t woken up, you can’t go in..."
"I just want to go in and have a look. If Tingye hasn’t woken up, I won’t disturb him, I’ll just take a glance and leave." Meimei’s voice was soft and gentle, sounding almost harmless, yet her determined expression indicated she was not easily deceived.
She even knew the gatekeeper recognized her identity, certainly wouldn’t dare to lay a hand on her, so she offered an apologetic smile to the gatekeeper trying to stop her, lifted the hem of her skirt, and ran boldly towards the living room.
