"Master is just sleeping," Li Feng said, his voice carrying genuine confusion as he looked from face to face searching for an explanation for all the tension.
"Soundly sleeping. Nothing is wrong, his color is good, better than it's been all week actually. His breathing is steady and natural, no distress. All the monitors show completely normal readings. He looks peaceful. He's fine. He's just... sleeping as he has been."
The words should have been reassuring, should have made Zhou Yuxi's panic subside.
But the looks on everyone else's faces told her there was significantly more to the story. There seemed to be something wrong...
The tension in the room hadn't dissipated with Li Feng's report, as it should have been; if anything, it had intensified, thickening the air until it felt hard to breathe.
