Lin Lin slept until she reached Qianyun Island without waking up. Mu Mu and Mo Jue led the anti-terror inspectors to other islands, so they returned empty-handed, temporarily securing peace for Qianyun Island as everyone focused on Lin Lin's condition.

From Mo Chen's words, Shiyi could sense something amiss, but Gu Babao didn't pick up on it. Seeing Lin Lin’s state, Gu Babao couldn't help crying.

Mu Mu put the child in Gu Babao's room; holding his son's bony hand, Gu Babao couldn’t suppress her pain, and Mo Chen could only console her by her side while Sen Sen silently shed tears.

"When will she wake up"

"She should wake up tomorrow morning." Mo Chen said. The anesthetic from Mo Yao's gun was quite potent; it would take over twenty hours for her to regain consciousness.

It was late at night, so everyone couldn't just stay with Lin Lin and went back to their rooms to sleep, planning to visit her early in the morning.

Gu Babao didn’t eat dinner and stayed by his side.

Mu Mu worried that Lin Lin might wake up in the middle of the night and remained in Gu Babao's room, waiting for both of them to awaken together.

After dawn, Gu Babao said, "Mo Chen, you must be exhausted. Go to sleep first; I’ll call you when Lin Lin wakes up."

"You look exhausted too. Haven't you slept at all since I left" Mo Chen, with a heart full of concern, caressed her face. Gu Babbo's face was circled by dark eye bags, indicating extreme fatigue.

Gu Babbo held his hand and kissed it against her lips, "No matter how hard I work, it can't compare to your efforts."

Motivated, Mo Chen hugged her tightly. The room had a soft carpet laid out; he let Gu Babbo lie down on top of him while resting her head on his thigh, allowing him to keep watch over Linlin at the same time. Since he left, it seemed that Baby hadn't slept.

She needed adequate rest.

As a man, protecting his woman and child was his natural duty.

Moshen himself was also extremely tired; holding Linlin's hand, he too fell asleep leaning against the bedframe at three in the morning.

Linlin's fingers twitched several times, instantly waking up Mo Chen. He looked up with surprise, first checking on Linlin who was still half-asleep with his eyes closed. Checking the clock beside him, it read past three AM.

Is my little one waking up

Linlin slightly opened his eyes; the room was brightly lit. This was because Mo Chen had deliberately kept a light on. When they found Linlin, he didn't know how many days he had spent in darkness. He must have been extremely scared of the confined and dark space.

To ease Linlin's fear, Mo Chen turned all lights in the room on and left the windows open for fresh air to flow through, creating a tranquil and comfortable atmosphere. However, as soon as Linlin woke up from his slumber, he abruptly sat up straight from where he was lying down, startling Mo Chen. Linlin seemed very frightened and even let out a sudden scream.

"Ah..." As if greatly startled, he still had an IV drip but disregarded the needle on his arm and ran off the bed, causing the needle to deeply penetrate his skin, leaving a trail of blood on his hand.

"Ah..." Lín Lín screamed in distress. It was a meaningless cry, as he hurriedly pulled out the needle from his arm, ignoring the blood flowing down the bed. Mò Chén suddenly got up from the floor and this action alarmed Gù Bāo'bao.

She also woke up drowsily; the room was filled with Lín Lín’s screams. Gù Bāo'bao exclaimed, "Lín Lín..."

Lín Lín screamed as he tried to escape. He ran around aimlessly while Mò Chén and Gù Bāo'bao rushed over to hold him down and prevent him from moving. Gù Bāo'bao said, "Lín Lín, you're injured. Will you let Mommy dress your wound Please don't move..."

Lín Lín wouldn’t let anyone touch him; he yelled that he wanted to escape. Afraid of hurting Lín Lín, Gù Bāo'bao didn't dare to touch him and Mò Chén was afraid of causing him pain so he was also hesitant about holding him tightly. Gù Bāo'bao almost cried, "Lín Lín, don’t be scared, it’s Mommy! It's me, did you hear me"

Lín Lín yelled back, covering his ears and closing his eyes as if blocking out all sound and sight. He only screamed in fear until he suddenly bit Mò Chén who was restraining him. Feeling the pain, Mò Chén let go of him immediately, causing Lín Lín to fall onto a rug where he rolled around before crawling under the bed. His screams abruptly ceased.

Gù Bāo'bao cried out and crawled down too, "Lín Lín, what's wrong I'm Mommy! Don’t be afraid, it’s Mommy! Do you not recognize me Lín Lín, please respond to me."

The sudden screams in the middle of the night woke up Yè Wēi, Mò Jué, Mò Xiǎobái, and Mò Yáo nearby. They came over one after another and found Mò Chén and Gù Bāo'bao on the floor trying to comfort Lín Lín. Mù Mù also woke up but everyone was at a loss.

Yè Wēi asked, "What happened"

Mò Chén replied, "I don’t know either. He started screaming when he woke up and ran under the bed instead of staying in it. I have no idea what’s going on."

Gu Babao patiently tried to console Linlin, but there was no response from her.

"Linlin, Mom knows she's sorry for not being around to take care of you these past two years. Mom knows how much pain you've been through, and mom couldn't save you, but I never forgot about you, always dreaming of the day when you'd come back home. Linlin, now that you're finally back with Mom, even if it costs me my life, please don't deny your mother. Don’t be afraid, okay This is daddy's house; you are safe here. No one can hurt you anymore, no one will hit you again. Your hand was injured, come out and let mom help clean the wound for you, or else it will hurt a lot. You're so scared of pain, Linlin... Come out, okay The space under the bed is cold and dark..."

The tone used was heartbreaking...

Ye Wei had heard Mo Baibai talk about finding Linlin and immediately turned off all switches in the room before closing the windows. Mo Baiwei was confused, "Mommy, what are you doing After being in the dark for so long, he must be afraid of darkness."

"At the same time, he can only get used to the darkness," Ye Wei explained. A child who has been abused in a dark and confined space will both fear and develop a psychological dependence on it.

That's why Linlin ran under the bed as soon as she woke up; because that place gives her a sense of security, making her feel safe again.

A person who has been in such confined spaces for a long time not only fears them but also depends on them. They hope to see light and yearn for brightness, yet they are afraid of both at the same time.

This is a natural reaction after enduring prolonged physical and psychological abuse.
