Chapter 697: The Countdown of Yan and An (11)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Lu Yan had his eyes on a particular diamond ring. It was a simple platinum ring and there was a little diamond mounted on it.
He took a liking to it immediately. This ring would look very pretty on An’an’s hand.
“I would like to get this diamond ring.”
“Sir, this diamond ring is not the most popular design now, but it’s a cla.s.sic. This diamond ring has a name, and it’s called – ‘You are my Angel’.
You are my angel.
She was his little angel.
“Please put this ring into a box for me.”
…
The Maybach car came to a stop at the field outside the villa. When Lu Yan opened the car door, he saw another luxury car parked there. It was a Rolls-Royce Phantom – Gu Mohan’s car.
Lu Yan placed the diamond ring into his trousers pocket and entered the villa.
The lights were all turned on in the villa. There was a tall and handsome figure standing in the living room.
Gu Mohan.
“President Gu, you are here?” Lu Yan threw the car keys onto the coffee table. “It’s good that you are here, I have something to discuss with you.”
Gu Mohan was wearing a tailored white s.h.i.+rt. He looked at Lu Yan. “Master Yan, I am also here to discuss something. There’s something that An’an has been keeping from you.”
“What is it?”
“An’an’s health…”
“Elder Brother!” At this moment, a voice interrupted them urgently.
Lu Yan raised his eyes and saw that An’an had woken up. She was standing by the staircase railing in her white dressing gown. Her eyes were full of anxiety.
Sensing the worry in her face, Lu Yan stuck one hand into his trousers pocket and knitted his brows slightly. His sharp brown eyes looked at Gu Mohan. “What happened to An’an’s health?”
“Elder Brother, don’t say anything!” An’an cried shrilly and ran downstairs.
Gu Mohan looked at An’an’s panicked state and said impa.s.sively. “An’an’s leukemia has relapsed.”
“Elder Brother!”
Lu Yan looked up. An’an was already standing by the staircase. Her youthful and beautiful face had become harshly pale and she was looking at him in terror.
Soon later, Lu Yan’s expression changed. Two lines of blood streamed from An’an’s nostrils.
An’an felt her vision becoming darker. Her delicate body swayed a couple of times. Before she collapsed, she saw Lu Yan running over, his brown eyes bloodshot and his face filled with horror.
He ran over and caught hold of her swaying body.
An’an could hear Lu Yan’s low roar when she closed her eyes and it was heartbreaking to hear. “An’an!”
…
Shortly after, An’an was taken to the hospital. The doctor shook his head repeatedly. “President Gu, Miss An’an has already slipped into a coma. If there are no compatible bone marrow matches or blood cells from immediate family members for us to operate on Miss An’an, she will not be able to survive after 48 hours.”
This was a critical warning issued by the doctor.
Tang Mo’er was in the ward and teared up when she looked at An’an, who was in a coma. Lu Yan did not enter and sat on the long bench along the corridor instead.
Gu Mohan leaned his back against the wall. One of them was sitting and the other one was standing.
Lu Yan spoke, “When did An’an’s illness relapse?”
“It happened at Miaojiang. She has been receiving chemotherapy these four months at the hospital.”
Lu Yan stuck both his hands into his trousers pocket and lightly rubbed his hands. She had been sick for so long already.
She had been in the hospital suffering these four months.
It was no wonder that she had missed him and that she had appeared so pitiful when she saw him.
He was late.
He should had been there with her earlier.
She must have been so lonely and frightened.
“Is there no other way?”
“Mm. Mo’er is only seven months pregnant and there is no cord blood yet to do a compatibility match. Even if there is cord blood, it may not be a compatible match. All these years, I have been offering rewards for bone marrow donations, but none have matched An’an’s. I have racked my brains for every possible solution, but we’ve still come to this stage.” Gu Mohan sounded despondent.
Lu Yan merely listened and did not speak a word.
A minute later, he got up, stuck both hands into his trousers pocket and left.
He walked over to the doctor’s office. “Please do an examination for me to see if I can be a suitable match”
The doctor started and promptly nodded. “Alright.”
…
Half an hour after the examination, Lu Yan exited the treatment room. His cell phone started to ring.
He took out his cell phone. It was Li Si.
There was a glint in his brown eyes. Li Si and he could not communicate with each other openly for fear of exposing their ident.i.ties.
Li Si was a very cautious person and would never take the risk, unless something had happened.
Lu Yan’s eyes swept the corridor. He walked to the exit and received the call.
He did not make any sound. Li Si’s extremely low voice came through the phone. “Yan Zi, pack your things. You’ve to leave immediately on the boat tomorrow morning!”
Lu Yan knitted his brows. “What happened?”
“Yan Zi, our ident.i.ties have been exposed. Sha Dan is dead!” Li Si’s low voice was slightly tearful.
Sha Dan was the Blood Forces’ youngest trooper and was only 19 years old this year. He idolized Lu Yan the most and would yammer non-stop when he saw Lu Yan.
Lu Yan’s handsome features became somber and he immediately emanated a murderous rage.
“Yan Zi, Sha Dan had gone back home and met a woman along the way. Sha Dan had never fallen in love and was mesmerized by the woman. Who knew, this woman actually took out a knife and stabbed him to death. Henry’s second-in-command, Delia, has taken over the leader position and this woman works for Delia. Delia has come to take revenge. He is coming for you and the Blood Forces!”
“Yan Zi, we can’t stay here any longer. The ident.i.ty of Lu Yan cannot be used any more. The superiors will fake your death. You have to leave immediately and lie low in another place. You will leave on the boat next morning…”
“I can’t leave tomorrow morning.”
Li Si startled for a few seconds before responding. “Yan Zi, is it because of An’an again? Don’t be foolish, you are in a really dangerous predicament now!”
Lu Yan pursed his thin lips. “I can’t leave tomorrow morning. I will leave tomorrow night instead.”
“Yan Zi!”
“She only has 48 hours to live. She is my life!”
Lu Yan hung up the phone call immediately.
His tall and handsome body leaned indolently against the wall. With one hand in his pocket, his fingers grazed the box the diamond ring was hidden in.
He gripped the diamond ring tightly in his palm and his eyes reddened.
Sha Dan’s death had exposed the ident.i.ties of the Blood Forces. The international leaders of the mafia triads had been waiting for the ident.i.ties of the Blood Forces to be exposed before going on a maniacal killing rampage. It was not only about him. He really had to leave, there were other lives on the line.
Lu Yan gripped the diamond ring so tightly that his palm hurt.
…
After he returned to the villa, Lu Yan entered the bathroom to take a shower.
“Master Yan, are you there?” At this moment, the big-busted servant entered with a cup of coffee.
There was no one in the room. There was only the sound of water flowing coming from the bathroom. The big-busted servant placed the coffee down and pushed open the bathroom door furtively.
The mosaic gla.s.s door was half open and the man’s body could not be seen. Only his silhouette could be discerned vaguely from the gla.s.s door. He was hunching his body to wash his hair. The tiny water droplets splashed onto his s.e.xy bronze skin.
