After borrowing a blanket, he lay down on the floor.
Katarina and Sarin had told him he could use another room, but he was worried about leaving the girl alone.
So he chose to sleep there instead.
Of course, the overprotective Katarina and Sarin would never allow him to sleep with just one blanket.
The pile of blankets they had prepared for him was stacked high enough that he could sleep comfortably without hurting his body.
"Good night."
He did not know whether she could hear him, but after pulling the blanket up to the girl's shoulders as she lay down, Qiong Xing also closed his eyes and rested.
All while worrying about whether his own children were doing alright.
Several hours passed.
A faint muffled sound woke him up.
Something was wrong.
Qiong Xing immediately sat up and looked toward the bed, worried about the girl.
But she was not there.
His heart tightened with panic.
"N-Nicole..."
