In the hospital, Mu Yazhe received a call from Li Hanlin . According to the assistant, his older son was now back to safety but his younger son was missing temporarily . More teams had been sent to search for him at the moment .
Fright appeared on the man’s face . “What happened?”
“We lost contact with the two kids . We presently can’t ascertain what has happened during the process! What we can do now is wait for the young master to regain consciousness before we find out the details . I’m sorry, sir!”
He hung up, turned around, and saw Yun Shishi looking at him with her hopeful and inquiring eyes .
“Have the children returned?”
“Yes!” He nodded . Creasing his brows, he decided to hide the truth from her for the time being . “They are safe now . Rest assured!”
“They’re back? Where are they?”
Colors returned to her pale-looking face finally . With eyes brightening, she wanted to get down the bed agitatedly .
The man stopped her . “I’ll bring you over when you get better!”
“No!” Her face froze in suspicion . “Mu Yazhe, did you tell me a white lie? The children aren’t safe and sound yet, are they?”
She looked at him askance .
He answered, “Be good! I didn’t lie to you . The children are hurt and have been sent to a hospital . They’ll get heartache if they see you looking so frail now!”
Startled, she glanced down and had to agree that she was rather haggard-looking .
“Take some porridge and have a rest first . Once you look better, I’ll bring you to them, okay?” he coaxed gently .
She looked at him suspiciously for a while, and only when she could not find signs of deception on his face did she return to bed sullenly .
“My mind can’t rest if I don’t get to see the two kids!”
“Take some porridge first, all right?”
He scooped the porridge beside him and looked at her with gentle indulgence .
Since he returned overseas, he had kept her company for two days and nights without sleep .
By now, a slight stubble had appeared on his chin, and his beautiful face had grown thinner and more angular .
The woman looked at him deeply and felt a sense of heartache suddenly!
She seemed to realize, with a start, that she might have gone overboard .
If she had been too worried to sleep well, then so was he .
She was their mother while he was their father . Why would he not be anxious, too?
As for her, she could always rely on him when she was scared and worried .
How about him?
He had no one to turn to .
He must be more exhausted than her!
Her eyes brimmed with tears without warning .
He opened the thermal flask to prepare the porridge when he turned around and happened to see her guilty expression . Frowning, he asked, “What’s up?”
“Mu Yazhe… I’ve made you worried…” she muttered meekly . Looking up and staring deep into his eyes, she said, “From now on, I’ll listen to you . I’ll be good and stop making wild guesses!”
He was flabbergasted and could not resist reaching out to pinch her nose . “Silly . ”
Holding up the spoon, he said gently, “Let me feed you, eh?”
“Mm . ” She nodded .
He had his servant prepare this porridge beforehand and send it over in a thermal flask . As such, it was still boiling hot .
He checked the temperature carefully with his lips first . If it was hot, he would blow on it lightly to ensure that it was lukewarm enough for her to consume before passing it to her .
