Chapter 239: He Walking in the Rain

Lu Kuo used to be carefree, but now he was on high alert, afraid that if he wasn't careful, he would fall behind again. Fortunately, after Gu Ruanruan started eating, she didn't talk much.After he and...She sat inside the car, watching the raging storm outside. Helplessness, fear, worry, guilt – countless negative emotions crashed over her. It was just like the night her mother died. She sat at the end of the hospital corridor, staring at the thick, closed door of the resuscitation room, powerless and unable even to pray.

This night, she was alone on the highway in a raging storm, unable to move forward. Even though Xiao Xin told her over the phone that the children were doing well and sleeping soundly, asking her not to worry, how could she not worry At this very moment, she even doubted if she had made the wrong decision She shouldn't have brought them into this world to suffer with her. She wasn't capable of protecting them well enough, no matter how hard she tried.

They are still so young, while other children are still cuddling in their parents' arms, they have already learned to eat by themselves, dress themselves, and sleep by themselves. Even on weekends, when their mothers leave them with others, and even when they are hospitalized, their mothers are not by their side. They are still so young, but they have been forced to grow up, being more independent and sensible than other children.

She truly felt so sorry for the children, bringing them into this world with the hope of giving them happiness, not making them suffer alongside her.

Painful emotions clung to her, preventing her from moving on. Images of Zhu Yu'an gradually surfaced in her mind, and she could barely recall his exact features anymore. Only the ever-growing resentment remained so clear.

The rain had been falling for an unknown amount of time, gradually lessening in intensity. Visibility improved, and she finally released the brakes, preparing to head back. However, the car sputtered and died right then and there. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get it to start again.

You can only get out of the car and open the hood to check the specific situation.

Although the rain wasn't heavy, it was still drizzling. As soon as she got out of the car, within two minutes, her whole body was drenched. Even in summer, she felt a bone-chilling coldness.

She shone her phone's flashlight on it for a while, but couldn't figure out what was wrong. She didn't know much about cars anyway. She called 4 and followed the customer service representative's instructions, but it still didn't work. Finally, the customer service representative said it probably just needed charging.

She had the worst luck imaginable. Not only was her car out of battery, but her phone died too. Stuck on an empty highway in the rain, with a dead car and no way to call for help, she shivered uncontrollably from the cold and worry gnawed at her heart as she thought about the children hospitalized and alone. It couldn't have been any worse.

Even with a mindset that has been strengthened through years of training, it was shattered at this moment.

Just when she was at her wit's end, headlights suddenly appeared at the end of the highway. The car was driving fast and getting closer and closer. To call it a beacon of hope would be an understatement. She hurriedly stood up and tried to flag down the car, hoping to at least borrow a phone to call and report the incident to her insurance company.

Before she could even reach out, the car stopped steadily in front of her. When Yi Muyang got out of the car, Shu Tinglan was utterly stunned, dumbfounded, staring at him as if he were a fool.

He didn't say a word, took out a towel from the car and wrapped her tightly, covering even her shaking body. He held her close in his arms.

The towel was very soft, and his embrace was warm. Shū Tínglàn felt a sense of security like never before. It was like someone who was drowning, just about to sink to the bottom of the lake in utter despair, suddenly had someone pull them up, dragging them from the depths to the surface where they could breathe again and live.

Yi Muyang remained silent, only holding her tightly until he felt she was no longer so cold and stiff. He then brought her back to his car. Shutinglan just then noticed that he drove a sports car, and in the passenger seat sat a young boy.

"Hi!" The young boy waved awkwardly and curiously at her from the passenger seat without getting out.

Yimu Yang flung open the passenger door.

"Come down."

The young boy incredulously pointed to his own nose, was he being told to stand in the road

Yimu Chang nodded affirmatively.

"No, boss, I..."

"Cut the crap, and wait here for the insurance to tow it."

The young boy had no choice but to get out of the car. Yi Muyang shoved Shu Tinglan into the passenger seat.

The sports car is small, and with its low chassis, Shu Tinglan wasn't very comfortable. Yi Muyang somehow got a towel and haphazardly wiped her hair.

"I'll do it myself." She took the towel, and Yi Mu Yang only then started the engine and drove away, leaving the young boy and her car behind.

"How did you get here" She remembered she hadn't sent him her location.

"Can't I come Did you open the highway to your house" He was very angry and spoke harshly.

Actually, he was competing in a neighboring city and finished his competition in the morning. Knowing she was on a business trip there, he came over to see her. When he called her, he was almost in the city and asked her to send her location but she never did. He guessed she was on the highway back home, so he chased after her all the way. Luckily, he found her, otherwise, who knows if this silly woman would have spent the night on the highway

Shu Tinglan now felt deeply grateful to Yi Muyang, and she didn't mind his bad attitude anymore. After waiting for a while, when things had calmed down a bit, she spoke.

“The children are sick and in the hospital.”

Yi Muyang's heart tightened.

"What's going on"

asked while simultaneously pressing down on the accelerator.

"I have a cold, pneumonia," she said the words, still feeling a shiver run down her spine.

"Which hospital"

"The Third Institute."

Yi Muyang didn't say anything more. He used his car phone to dial a number.

"Teacher Geng, I have two children hospitalized in your hospital. Could you please help me check on their situation We won't be able to get there until later."

"In which ward" came a steady voice from the person called Teacher Geng.

"Children's Ward 217, Shu Xiaonian, Shu Xiaohe."

"Good."

Only after hanging up the phone did Yi Mu Yang speak to her seriously.

"Teacher Geng is the vice president of the Third Hospital, so don't worry with him here."

It was about 5 minutes later when Teacher Geng called.

“I’ve already been to the doctor, he said it’s fine. It’s just pneumonia caused by a common cold, very common in kids. I’ll give you his phone number.”

Shu Tinglan's heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally slowly settled. She borrowed Yimuyang's phone to call Xiaoxin. When Xiaoxin heard her voice, she almost cried. She couldn't get through to Shu Tinglan's phone all this time, and she was worried that something might have happened to her on the highway.

"I'm fine, Mr. Yi sent me back. It should be another hour."

"Okay, we'll be waiting for you, Lawyer Shu. Make sure to be careful, alright" Xiaoxin reminded him again.

"Okay."

By the time they arrived at the hospital, it was already late at night. This night could be described as thrilling and terrifying, but fortunately, Yi Muyang brought her back from the highway and stayed with her the whole time, which calmed her down a lot.nicating with her proactively. So Ruan Ruan has always had a respectful and fearful attitude towards her brother. Just now, seeing the unintentional tenderness he revealed, her image of him in her hea...
