Qianru was beside him, curled her delicate body against his . Leaned over, he kissed her soft hair and freed himself from her embrace before deftly got off from the bed .

"Master . " Liu Wei knelt before him, ready to receive his order .

"Keep your eyes on Mo Xuan Fei . " Xiao Jun"s voice was as rigid, his gaze unmoving, fixed on some point in the distance while his expression entirely unreadable .

"Yes Master . " With that Liu Wei disappeared into the darkness .

*** 

The night was cold, in the dim room, Xiao Tianyao stood up and stared at the pitch- black sky outside, remaining silent for a long while . He stiffened his lips into a tight line .

He wasn"t alone in his bedroom, there was a young woman in white robe lying unconscious in his bed . It has been a week since she was found in the dungeon in this condition .

Xiao Tianyao didn"t know what he had to do with this woman . She was surely a spy who was sent to keep her eyes on his every move .

It was only right if he killed her with his own hand the moment she admitted it or tortured her brutally until she spilled every tiny information and let her bled out until death come for her .

However, he had not done any of that and the moment he knew she was out cold, he lost it .

Hypnotized or not, he cared for her .

He kept reminding himself that it was only because the child in her stomach that he cared, but it didn"t seem right, but enough to justify his action to let her slept on his bed .

The enemy on his bed that could control him any time she awake .

But she conceived his child…

Xiao Tianyao smiled bitterly to himself . How he could be so stupid to actually fall into enemy"s hand easily? With the cost of his brother"s life .

Xiao Jun had not yet contacted him since the last time he met him in his mansion, the night that he gave him a hint about Luna"s ident.i.ty .

There was no news from him, but no news also good .

Xiao Tianyao closed his eyes to content his anger and self deprecation that became his habit recently .

A soft knocking sound traveled into the room, it"s time to give Luna her medicines and since he couldn"t do it by himself or let anyone else to feed her, he had Doctor Lin to do that .

"Enter . " Xiao Tianyao said .

Doctor Lin came with a bowl of medicine as black as charcoal with strange smell wafted in the air . She nodded in respect and after Xiao Tianyao acknowledgement, she sat beside the unconscious Luna to feed her .

"She has been unconscious for a week . " Xiao Tianyao leaned his back again the window and faced the bed .

After the last time he met Luna in the dungeon and watched how sickly her condition, He ordered Lin to check on her, right at that time, Lin found Luna"s unconscious body lying on the cold ground .

When they informed him about her condition, he rushed toward the dungeon and ordered to move her to his bedroom .

Apparently Luna had not yet drank the abortion potion, hence she was still with child that made Xiao Tianyao could ease his conscience for not take an extreme measure .

"Her body is so weak . Besides, she has a congenital heart disease . " Lin informed him .

 "Congenital heart disease?" Xiao Tianyao frowned .

"Yes, prince Xiao . She has been taking medicine to sustain her life . "

Xiao Tianyao remembered her constant fever and it only became worse after she was pregnant .

"Concoct another medicine for her illness as well . "

"I am afraid I am not able to do that…"

"And why is that?" Xiao Tianyao was squinted his eyes dangerously, he didn"t like someone disobey his order .

"This is a rare disease and needs thorough examination to find the right medicine for her and with her current condition, it is not possible for me to try anything . " Lin explained her point .

It was true, she didn"t know the basic ingredients of Luna medicine, it was always Gong Xu who concocted it for her .

"Try your best to keep her alive . " Xiao Tianyao"s expression was devoid from any emotion, it was hard to read him under that façade . "She is carrying my child . " He added, more likely to remind himself .

Lin kept feeding Luna until the last drop of the medicine and when she was about to go out of the room, she gave Xiao Tianyao an insights .

"Prince Xiao, if I may suggest . " Lin said timidly . "If you really want to save her, why don"t you find the person who has been making medicine for her . "

Xiao Tianyao didn"t need that advice, that was the first thing that he thought when Lin said she was incapable to concoct the medicine . But, the issue wasn"t as simple as that .

"You may leave . " Xiao Tianyao didn"t spare another glance when he sent her away, thus he missed to witness the flickering jealousy in her eyes .

"Yes Prince Xiao . "

The room fell into silence once again after Lin left .

Xiao Tianyao looked at the fragile woman, who was lying on the bed, her pale lips were chapped and her face was sweating, probably because of the medicine .

He used his sleeves to wipe sweat from her forehead .

"You don"t need to do this…"

Luna"s lips moved slightly when she tried to saying those words, even though her eyes still closed, but her knitted brows indicated she was aware with her surroundings .

"What option that I have since you are carrying my child . " Xiao Tianyao replied as if it was only a regular conversation with her .

Despite his anxiousness a moment ago and the murderous aura around him had ceased down, there was no trace of his concern about Luna well being .
