She opened the door and bolted through, running to the stairs and stomping down .
She hadn’t ended the call, so she talked to Bai Jing as she ran . “Bai Jing, look for her in the park first . I’m on my way now . ”
“Xuxu! Be careful, there’s water . ”
Mu Li heard Xuxu talking on the phone frantically, and so she came out of the dining room in a hurry to warn her .
But she was too late .
Xuxu stepped onto the puddle of water . She was still wearing slippers and was running frantically; as a result, she slipped .
“Ahhhh…”
She shrieked, trying to grab onto the staircase railings behind her, but her arms were too short .
“Xuxu!” Mu Li’s eyes widened to their maximum as she rushed towards her . She tried to grab onto her, but her hand only grazed Xuxu’s clothes .
Xuxu slipped and fell and the floor .
‘Dong!’ She knocked her head on the last step .
“Mother… My children…”
Xuxu fainted because of the knock on her head and her over-anxiety .
In her last moment of consciousness, all she could think of was her children .
“What?!”
Yan Rusheng was in a meeting with a few high-ranking executives . He ignored a few consecutive calls and only answered when he saw a call from Xuxu’s number .
He answered and heard Mu Li crying as she told him about Xuxu’s fall . The phone slipped out of his hand .
It fell onto the table and rebounded onto the floor .
“President Yan!”
He faltered for a second before coming to his senses . He stood up vigorously and rushed out of the meeting room .
At the hospital…
“Xuxu!” Yan Rusheng shouted . He had arrived at the hospital .
Yan Weihong was sitting on the chair outside the operating room . He had raised his head, and he looked very anxious . The entire ordeal had him obviously traumatized .
He heard Yan Rusheng’s voice and looked over . “Third Yan!”
Yan Weihong stood up agitatedly, holding onto the chair for support .
“Father,” Yan Rusheng greeted . Without stopping, he rushed towards the operating theater, holding Yan Weihong up for a moment when he walked past him . He pounded on the door of the operating room .
“Ahhh . ”
Xuxu’s agonizing cries of pain sounded from within the operating room . Yan Rusheng was anxious . It felt like his heart stopped beating . He clenched his fists and pounded on the door heavily . “Xuxu, Xuxu . ”
On the way here, although the car was air-conditioned, sweat drenched his whole face .
Standing outside the operating theater and hearing Xuxu’s gut-wrenching cries of pain but being unable to get through the doors, he felt terrified and helpless .
Finally, the doors to the operating theater opened . A nurse drenched in sweat removed her face mask and glared at Yan Rusheng . “What are you knocking for?”
The nurse had barely opened her mouth when the tall man ran past her in a flash . He had barged into the operating room .
Xuxu was lying on the operating table, her black hair drenched in sweat and strands of hair sticking to her face . Her face was pale and her lips, frighteningly so .
She grabbed onto Mu Li’s arm with one hand and was clutching the blanket that covered her body with the other .
Her heart-wrenching cries rang in his ears and reverberated throughout his internal organs .
“Xuxu . ” He dashed forward and grabbed onto the hand that was clutching the blanket . He wrapped both his hands around hers, bringing it towards her face .
Perspiration dripped from his sideburns endlessly like rainwater . They dripped onto Xuxu’s arm and her face .
His eyes were red and his dark pupils seemed shrouded with fog .
“Ah Sheng…” Xuxu’s eyes brightened when she saw Yan Rusheng .
It felt like she was worn out from wandering around in pitch-black darkness and had finally found the exit—a pillar of support .
