Cang Ling's body stiffened slightly. He looked at the empty riverbank she was pointing toward before lowering his gaze to the woman trembling in his arms.
A deep sense of helplessness filled his heart. Her condition was getting worse.
At first, she had merely suffered from nightmares and occasionally muttered in her sleep. Later, she began to imagine that someone was watching her. Now, she was even seeing people who weren't there.
Cang Ling couldn't bear to see her like this. He gently patted her back and tried to calm her down.
"Ruer, listen to me. Teacher isn't here."
"But he was! I saw him!"
"That was your imagination. You have been worrying about this for so long that you have started seeing things that aren't real."
Liang Rou shook her head violently."No! I'm not imagining it! He called my name! He called me Ruer!"
