Liu Shizhong hadn't expected the woman to suddenly become so firm.
He uttered several more threats.
But no matter how he tried to coerce or entice her, Hua Manman remained completely unfazed.
Liu Shizhong didn't dare to actually do anything to her, though.
After all, she was pregnant. The slightest mistake could easily result in the death of both mother and child.
Once she and the child in her womb were dead, his Life-saving Talisman would be gone. All that would await him was a dead end.
Though incredibly reluctant, Liu Shizhong had no choice but to compromise.
He said through gritted teeth, "Tell everyone outside to leave. Not a single one can stay."
This time, Hua Manman didn't argue with him.
She called out to Si Yun.
"All of you can go. I want to sleep a little longer."
Si Yun said worriedly, "Then please rest well. I will come back to check on you later."
Hua Manman replied with a single syllable, "Mm."
Then came the sound of footsteps receding.
