Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Si Yiyan… you’re my hero!”
Her weak and feeble voice rang in Si Yiyan’s ears, and it was as if there was nothing left in this world except him and her.
It seemed as if all of Wen Xinya’s energy had been depleted, and her eyelashes fluttered like b.u.t.terflies. “Si Yiyan, I love you!”
The sweet nothings struck his heart.
Si Yiyan looked out of the window and stared at the sky which seemed like it was covered by an invisible hand, making the sky seem gloomy.
However, he was in no mood to admire the scenic beauty. Instead, he hugged her tightly in his arms while his heart scrunched up.
Wen Xinya could no longer take it. She plunged into total darkness and slipped into a daze while feeling extremely chilly. She exclaimed with trembling lips, “Si Yiyan, hug me tightly!”
Si Yiyan hugged her and felt the chilliness of her body. He then grabbed a small blanket and kissed her eyelashes gently. “Hang in there. We’re going to reach the hospital soon.”
Soon, the helicopter landed in the hangar of Lishan Mansion.
Si Yiyan staggered forward and picked Wen Xinya up in his arms before disembarking the helicopter.
Gu Yuehan had already prepared the car.
Si Yiyan strode towards the mansion without hesitation.
Gu Yuehan was filled with an ominous feeling upon sight of Si Yiyan walking on an unsteady gait.
Si Yiyan got inside the car together with Wen Xinya.
Gu Yuehan frantically sent them to the hospital.
Si Yiyan stared at the pa.s.sing cars on both sides of the road. Due to the fact that they had changed their mode of transport four times throughout the journey to the hospital, there was a significant delay. He could not help but regret not making the medical staff move to Lishan Mansion.
Si Yiyan ordered. “Gu Yuehan, hurry up!”
Gu Yuehan stepped on the accelerator to speed up.
“It’s so cold!” Wen Xinya exclaimed, her teeth chattering and her body s.h.i.+vering.
However, her body temperature was rising and her sweat droplets were trickling down her face. Si Yiyan had no choice but to wipe them off incessantly.
“It’s so cold. Si Yiyan, I’m feeling really cold!” Wen Xinya exclaimed while s.h.i.+vering.
“Gu Yuehan, faster!” Si Yiyan exclaimed while hugging her tightly, as if it was the only way that he could transfuse his bodily warmth to her in a bid to ease her discomfort. However, he knew that his warmth was the last thing she needed now that she was running a fever.
Gu Yuehan took a glance at the speedometer, only to realize that they were traveling at the maximum speed.
Si Yiyan did not notice if Gu Yuehan was speeding up or not, for he was focusing all of his attention on Wen Xinya and helping her wipe her sweat off while comforting her.
Wen Xinya gradually stopped complaining about the cold, perhaps because of his comforting words. However, she began bawling like an aggrieved child. “Si Yiyan! I’m in so much pain now. My head, face, hands and legs hurt. I’m aching all over.”
Si Yiyan held her in his embrace and comforted. “We’re reaching the hospital soon. It won’t hurt anymore when we get there.”
However, Wen Xinya was starting to lose her consciousness and she could no longer hear him clearly. She continued to bawl while tugging at his sleeve. “Si Yiyan, I’m afraid… the cave was so dark. They hit me… scolded me… and even said that they would kill me once they got the ransom.”
Her voice gradually began to fade, she was merely trying to comfort him when she said that she was alright just now. He was extremely agonized to hear how much pain she was in. “Xinya! Don’t be afraid! You’re alright now…”
However, he could not placate her feelings of fear and terror.
Wen Xinya began to tear up and continued, “They wouldn’t let me eat or drink. I felt so cold, hungry and thirsty. I was in so much pain that I almost fainted. However, I was afraid of the uncertainty that would follow if I were to faint…”
Si Yiyan’s heart wrenched in pain upon hearing her weak and gentle voice. Suppressing the blood and holding her tightly in his arms, he said, “Everything’s fine now, Xinya, everything is really alright!”
Wen Xinya slipped into a daze and random images formed in her head. She almost thought that she was still in the hands of the abductors. “I’m so scared. I kept thinking that Si Yiyan would definitely come and save me! I was wondering why Si Yiyan hasn’t saved me yet. Si Yiyan, where are you?”
Si Yiyan tightened his grip around her while Gu Yuehan kept turning back.
Wen Xinya smiled gently and continued, “Then, you showed up!”
Si Yiyan looked out at the grayish-blue skies that were pure and calm like the woman in his arms.
Blood trickled out of the corners of his lips. One drop, two drops, three drops…
Gu Yuehan got a great shock and asked, “Ninth Young Master, what’s wrong with you?”
“I’m alright!” Si Yiyan exclaimed, leaning against the seat.
Gu Yuehan finally realized that Si Yiyan’s old ailment was acting up. He had previously had tubes attached to his windpipe and there had been severe side effects. Although he had been in great health after the three surgeries that he had undergone, it relapsed again after two years. He did not expect…
He suddenly remembered the various times that Si Yiyan seemed to be unwell during the rescue of Wen Xinya. Could it be that Ninth Young Master got a relapse then?
Although he had never experienced Si Yiyan’s pain, he knew that it felt like water flowing into one’s lungs as if they were drowning, according to the doctor’s description. How did Ninth Young Master pull through it?
Feeling extremely worried, Gu Yuehan said, “Ninth Young Master, you…”
Si Yiyan’s main physician had once mentioned that the relapses would be excruciating and unbearable!
Si Yiyan pushed Wen Xinya’s hair away and asked, “How long more will it take to get to the hospital?”
He looked out of the window and stared at the gloomy clouds and long road which seemed to have no end.
Gu Yuehan suppressed his anxiety and answered, “About five minutes.”
Si Yiyan heaved a sigh of relief and said affectionately to Wen XInya, “Bear with it a little more. We’re reaching the hospital.”
