Mu Tongrui was startled awake in the middle of the night.

She was bathed in cold sweat when she woke up.

She dreamt that Fu Lingye was struggling in the cold, frigid waters. He kept calling out for her. She wanted to rescue him, but she felt as though her body was being pulled back and she stood rooted on the ground. She could not move at all.

Sweetheart was sound asleep beside her.

Mu Tongrui looked at her adorable face, then covered her own face with her hands. She took a deep breath, feeling helpless and at a tremendous loss as to what she should do.

What if Lingye really was.... how was she going to tell Sweetheart about this matter?

She was unable to say it. It was such a heartbreaking piece of news to break it to a child.

The moon was bright but it also appeared cold and lonely.

Mu Tongrui got up and took a piece of Fu Lingye's shirt to drape it across her shoulders. She stood at the windows and continued gazing at the moon.

The shirt seemed to have traces of Fu Lingye's warmth and smell. She grabbed tightly onto the sleeves and took a long deep sniff, and cried in between suppressed sobs.

“Lingye... You must return home safely...”

She lifted her head to gaze at the bright moon, and prayed with both palms clasped together.

......

The next morning, shortly after Liu sent Sweetheart to school, there was a call from the police station.

Mu Tongrui sat at the dining table. She did not have any appetite to eat anything, apart from a few spoonful of congee. She could not stomach anything else.

Old Master Fu looked grim when he put down the call.

Mu Tongrui stood up and asked him urgently, “Dad, have they found Lingye already?”

Old Master Fu looked at Mu Tongrui and grew silent for a while.

Mu Tongrui frowned. She was on the verge of tears, “Dad, please tell me quickly.”
