Free Web NovelChapter 370: 191. Nan Huaiyu stood 5 meters away, looking at Nan Wan. His eyes no longer held mischief but were filled with boundless coldness.
The former is Ji Wanxia’s friend who accompanied her from kindergarten until now, while the latter is the woman Gu Shaozhi waited for ten years.
"There are many top-notch doctors abroad, I will ask someone to bring them back to the country, your friend will wake up."
"The house burned down, right? It’s okay, bricks and tiles can’t be burnt, I will gradually restore the Ji Family, buy the same furniture as before, grandpa and grandma will be together in another world, they will receive the letters and photos."
Mu Jinhuan pried open her tightly clenched fingers, pulling her away, looked into her eyes, and asked word by word, "Wanwan, do you trust me?"
Inside, the house was brightly lit; outside, there was boundless darkness. Ji Wanxia stood at the entrance, gradually stopped crying, nodded, "Brother, I don’t want to stay here anymore."
As she just took a step, the maid inside the villa spoke up, "Madam, sir said you can’t go out."
Let alone hugging a strange man!
"Really?" Mu Jinhuan looked up at the speaker, his voice calm but filled with palpable menace, "Jingjiang Hotel, I’ll wait for Mr. Gu for twenty-four hours."
The distinctly articulated fingers rolled up the sleeve of the shirt, revealing the watch face, "Starting from now, at one twenty-seven a.m."
The murderous aura was too overwhelming as if just by uttering a single ’no,’ he would tear you apart.
The maid could only watch with open eyes as Mrs. Gu got into the car. After recovering from the chill, she quickly took out her phone to call Gu Shaozhi, "Mr. Gu, madam was taken away by a strange man!"
————
It was Mu Jinhuan’s fourth day in An City when Nan Wan received a strange phone call. She didn’t even have time to ask ’Who is this?’, before the caller gave her a baffling statement.
"Doctor Nan, I beg you, please return the heart to my brother, I’ll do anything you ask."
This voice was choked and hoarse to the extreme, as if painfully squeezed out from a long-parched throat.
Heart, brother...
Is it... Bai Ruoshu?
She supported herself against the back of the sofa and slowly sat down, "Miss Bai, I don’t understand."
Seven months pregnant, Bai Ruoshu was standing outside the emergency room, pale and weak, her silhouette seeming frail.
Closing her eyes, she clenched her fingers into fists, nails deeply embedded in her palm, trying to force herself into calmness with pain.
Her dry lips moved, "The patient at Southern City Hospital, before passing, wished to donate all organs. The heart matched my brother’s perfectly, but suddenly I was told it had already been given to someone else. I know Mr. Mu did it; I beg you, my brother can’t hold on any longer."
We had already negotiated, why has it become like this?
Even though a match doesn’t necessarily mean no rejection, without the heart, what will my brother do?
Nan Wan slightly lowered her head, her long hair cascading and covering most of her face, hiding the emotions in her eyes.
She calmly said, "I understand what you’re saying, but I don’t know if it was my husband who did it, so don’t make reckless accusations."
Mu Jinhuan had been extremely busy for a while, but he never told her what he was busy with, and she never asked about his work.
Bai Ruoshu stepped back a few paces, leaning against the cold wall for support. Despite it being the summer of August, she felt a biting cold creeping up from her feet and slowly permeating her entire body.
It made her shiver, made her fearful. freēwēbηovel.c૦m
"I know, Nan Huaiyu did many bad things to you and your brother, but my brother is innocent, he is still so small, hasn’t seen the world properly, always lying in bed, now still being rushed to the operating room, Doctor Nan, I, I beg you, beg you..."
As she spoke, she became more and more incoherent.
...
After hanging up, Nan Wan continued flipping through the medical journal she hadn’t finished, but couldn’t absorb a single English word, only feeling restless and uneasy.
She stood up, changed clothes, and went downstairs.
Mu Jin Qian was at work, Mu Qingqing was in kindergarten, Madam Mu had gone to Mu Family, leaving only Mu Libei in the living room.
"Dad, I want to go out for a bit."
Mu Libei put down his teacup and picked up the glasses on the table and wore them, "Is there something you need? I can ask the butler to help you."
Nan Wan’s expression was calm and gentle, she smiled, "It’s nothing, I’m just going to see a friend."
The daughter-in-law had been staying at the Mu Family for four days, other than strolling nearby, she hadn’t gone anywhere else, and had no shared topics with them, she must be feeling bored.
Mu Libei would not interfere much in young people’s matters. After asking the butler to prepare the car, he gently advised, "Be careful on the road, we’ll wait for you to come back for dinner."
Nan Wan nodded, "I understand, Dad."
...
Qing City, hospital.
The door of the emergency room opened, the doctor came out, took off his mask, and apologetically bowed his head, "Miss Bai, we did our best, please accept my condolences."
Condolences...
Bai Ruoshu processed this for a few minutes, is her brother dead?
Breathing began to become difficult, the strength she had been holding onto completely evaporated, her body sliding down the wall inch by inch.
Tang Chengmo arrived to find only a small figure curled up in the corner, indistinct against the light.
Striding closer, he felt as if all the world’s sadness weighed upon her, her face completely devoid of color, tears silently falling from her eyes, the kind of soul-reaching crying that he couldn’t ignore.
The pain in his heart throbbed profoundly, he slowly bent over, his voice trembling like never before, "Ruoshu, you’re pregnant, the ground is cold, you can’t sit like this."
Bai Ruoshu seemed to just then notice someone was in front of her, but her vision was blurry; she couldn’t see who, only a silhouette.
Her lips moved, uttering just one word, "...Pain."
Tang Chengmo slowly raised his hand, gently wiped the tears off her face, fearful that even a slight pressure would shatter her, "I know."
Bai Ruoshu suddenly laughed, "No, you don’t know."
His actions halted, lowering his gaze just in time to see fresh blood flowing from beneath her, his pupils shrank in shock.
Without another thought, he lifted the woman from the ground, shouting, "Doctor!"
...
Nan Wan staggered two steps after being bumped, steadied herself against the wall, stopped a hurried nurse, and asked, "What’s happening?" frёewebnoѵēl.com
"Miss Bai’s brother couldn’t be saved, she was overcome with grief and had a massive hemorrhage!"
Upon hearing this, Nan Wan’s whole body stiffened, as if she were trapped in an ice cellar.
W-what?
It took a while for her to gather herself, supporting her waist, she followed the doctors and nurses running past.
Turning the corner, abruptly, Nan Wan halted her steps, she saw Nan Huaiyu.
Five meters away, those eyes devoid of mischievous laughter, instead were steeped in boundless cold and chill, as if in the next moment would leap over and sever her throat.
