She cupped her mouth with her hand and urgently inquired with red eyes, “I'm sorry, Mr . Li! It's my fault! Which hospital is Youyou in? I'll head over there right away!”
“Hmph! I'm at a nearby public hospital . Hurry over! Youyou is not in a good condition . He had a relapse and he's still unconscious . Anyway, be careful on the way here; I'll take good care of him…”
She did not wait for him to finish . Hurriedly grabbing the bag she had put down earlier, she locked the door and rushed down the stairs .
Mu Yazhe was about to start the car engine downstairs when he spotted her from the rearview mirror . She was bursting through the door and running toward the gates in panic .
He thought it was strange, so he honked twice .
HONK! HONK!
The horn was especially ear-piercing . She was instantly alerted .
Recognizing his car, she rushed over without hesitation . Just as she opened the door, she said in haste, “Mu Yazhe, drive me to the public hospital!”
“Why are you going to the hospital?” he asked, confused .
Her shoulders shook violently . She clutched her bag tightly and appeared to be reproachful and nervous . She looked so flustered she seemed completely defeated!
“Youyou is in hospital . I must hurry there! Right now, right now…”
He slightly knitted his brows upon hearing this, yet he questioned no further and simply closed in on her . She thought he was about to do something to her . She was about to stop him but she saw him reach for her seatbelt to help her buckle up .
“Don't be afraid; I'm here,” he softly spouted before turning the engine on . Stepping on the gas pedal, the vehicle sped past the gates .
Yun Shishi stared at the man's side profile, dumbfounded . At the moment, his angular and handsome face was taut, but his expression was still calm and collected . Fixing his gaze ahead, his eyes held no joy, but he was not flustered in the least, either .
Although she was currently worried, for some reason, she was not as panicky as before .
His reassuring words seemed to have washed away all her fear and insecurities inside . However, recalling how painful it was for Youyou when his younger self had a relapse, her heart intensely squeezed in pain again .
At this moment, in the hospital ward, Li Hanlin, who was sitting on a stool by the bed, placed his phone down .
Beside him, the Youyou whom he said to still be 'unconscious' and was 'not in a very good condition' was calmly and silently sitting in bed reading the news .
Youyou set down the newspaper and folded his arms after he saw him end the call . He leaned on the headboard and glanced at him sharply . His dark, large, and watery eyes fluttered, and he asked him the moment he put down the phone, “What did she say?”
“I hung up . She's probably on the way here!” Lin Hanlin then asked, “Sir, how was my performance?”
“Not much of a problem at first, but did you tell her to be careful on the road?” he reproached .
What if mommy meets a mishap on the way as she rushes here in panic?
Li Hanlin's face collapsed and he replied indignantly, “I did! I was worried that she didn't hear it and called back, but no one answered the call . ”
Yun Tianyou hugged his arms and nodded solemnly . Silently, he laid out equations after equations in his head .
The distance between their apartment and the hospital was 30 kilometers . The train station was in front of their apartment building, and the bus stop was a few more meters away . If she were to board the bus, she would reach the hospital at the next stop and need not transfer .
The last train was leaving at nine — she would not make it . The bus was too slow, so obviously his mother would choose to take a taxi…
She would reach in 45 minutes tops .
“When she's here, act according to what I've said . Don't give yourself away . You need to have an impact; it's best if she feels deeply repentant from your act . ”
