healthy.
Xu Xiaoxiao kept thinking about the note she had just received. The thought that she and her child were safe and sound, while Jiang Hua not only lost her child but was also on the verge of waking up, filled her with genuine joy.
Finally, Jiang Hua was brought down, and all her hard work had paid off. Xu Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief, marveling that heaven was indeed fair, and what was meant for her would eventually come to her.
"Baby, baby, grow up quickly, and together with Mommy, snatch Daddy back home." Xu Xiaoxiao lowered her head and gently rubbed her lower abdomen. She was only recently pregnant, and her belly was not yet protruding, nor was the fetus fully formed, but she didn't care about any of that and just kept talking to herself.
The bathroom was filled with a misty steam, and wisps of clear water trickled down Gu Yiming's tall, muscular back. He tilted his head back slightly, closed his eyes tightly, and let the water splash onto his face. He swept his hair back with his hand, shook his head, and when he opened his eyes again, his gaze was sharp and slightly smiling. The plan had gone smoothly, and Gu Yiming was naturally in a good mood.
A buzzing vibration sounded beside him, and his phone anxiously alerted him to a new call. However, the slight vibration was completely masked by the sound of water, and Gu Yiming didn't hear it until he finished showering and turned off the shower, at which point he heard the persistent vibration.
Gu Yiming frowned, ignoring the still-wet hair, picked up his phone and swiped to answer. The movement of looking down caused a few drops of water to fall on the screen. Gu Yiming looked at the list of missed calls on the screen, ignored the drops of water, and swiped to answer.
The assistant answered the phone. Before the other party even started speaking, Gu Yiming had already begun to feel uneasy. However, what he heard next was much worse than he had imagined.
Gu Yiming haphazardly dried his hair, quickly put on his clothes, and walked out to the sofa where Xu Xiaoxiao was sitting. As he picked up his coat, he turned to say goodbye to her.
"Something has come up at the company, and I need to go back immediately."
Are you leaving already...?
Xu Xiaoxiao hadn't had a chance to share her joy with Gu Yiming. Seeing him leave in such a hurry, she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. But since he said he had something to do, she had no reason to stop him. Not wanting to leave Gu Yiming with the impression of being willful, Xu Xiaoxiao, determined to be a virtuous wife and loving mother, gently told him to be careful on the road, trying her best to cultivate a gentle and virtuous image.
Gu Yiming didn't have time to get entangled with Xu Xiaoxiao. He was originally frowning and thinking about how to get rid of Xu Xiaoxiao's coquettish entreaties as soon as possible. Her sudden change of attitude stunned Gu Yiming for a moment. However, the matter was urgent, so he didn't think too much about it. He nodded and quickly stepped out the door.
The door slammed shut in front of her, and even Gu Yiming's back disappeared. Xu Xiaoxiao stared blankly in the direction of the door, the smile on her face gradually fading, her slightly lowered eyebrows carrying a hint of sadness, and her eyes glistening with a few traces of reluctance.
After leaving Xu Xiaoxiao's residence, Gu Yiming drove to the hospital, his mind racing with anxiety the entire way. The numerous phone calls he'd received indicated that something serious had happened—someone had broken into the hospital and removed Jiang Hua's ventilator.
Jiang Hua had not yet woken up from her coma, yet she was being persecuted again and again. Gu Yiming became increasingly anxious, wishing he could find the mastermind behind it all and tear him to pieces. Even after receiving news that Jiang Hua was safe and sound, he was still worried about her safety, as if he would only feel at ease if he saw her with his own eyes that she was alright.
Gu Yiming was anxious, but he just happened to be stuck in traffic. There had been an accident on the street he was passing, and the vehicles could not pass normally, so it was completely blocked. Gu Yiming stuck his head out of the window to take a look, then decisively called his assistant to ask him to find someone to help with the car, and then he got out of the car and ran to the hospital.
By the time they arrived at the hospital, Gu Yiming's patience had almost run out. He rushed to the ward, but when he reached Jiang Hua's ward, he unexpectedly calmed down.
He calmed his heavy breathing from running, gently pushed open the door, and slowly walked in. What he saw was Jiang Hua lying quietly on the bed, just as when he left earlier that day. She looked perfectly normal, but he knew that perhaps he would never see a living Jiang Hua again.
Gu Yiming lowered his head and could clearly see that his hands were still trembling. He was terrified and regretted not staying by Jiang Hua's side every step of the way. Knowing that someone was trying to harm her, he still put her in such a dangerous place.
They dared to plot against Jiang Hua, he would make them pay the price. Gu Yiming narrowed his eyes, his gaze cold and sharp, like a wild beast about to pounce on its prey, exuding a terrifying aura.
After confirming that Jiang Hua was alright, Gu Yiming tiptoed out and sat on the bench outside her door, deep in thought. He forced himself to calm down immediately and find the person to prevent Jiang Hua from being in danger again, but after thinking for a long time, he still had no clue.
Everyone knew that Jiang Hua had miscarried and was hospitalized. At the time, he deliberately avoided people and secretly transferred Jiang Hua to a private hospital, thinking that this would make her safe. However, he was still negligent.
Although he deliberately suppressed the news, it was not difficult to find out that Jiang Hua had been transferred to a private hospital. There were no security measures in the hospital, and there were too many people who could have made a move. Gu Yiming found it difficult to determine who the suspect was.
Is it Xu Xiaoxiao?
Gu Yiming suddenly raised his head, and the first person he suspected was her. Thinking of her various actions, especially causing Jiang Hua to miscarry and driving Jiang Hua to her death, it was very much in line with her personality. However, she had always been under his control and seemed to have no chance to escape his surveillance to contact others and give orders.
Gu Yiming mentally listed several more names, but like Xu Xiaoxiao, they were both possible and impossible for him to do this. His mind was in a mess. Frustrated, he tugged at his tie and loosened it, a flash of anger in his eyes.
The series of events caught Gu Yiming off guard and left him overwhelmed, his face showing signs of fatigue. The usually decisive and efficient man was now somewhat lost and helpless, his concern for Jiang Hua's safety preventing him from acting freely. She was his weakness, something he was willing to protect with everything he had, and he couldn't bear to see her harmed in the slightest.
Meanwhile, Jiang Hua, lying in her hospital bed, was trapped in a long dream. She seemed to sense Gu Yiming's worry for her, but she still didn't want to wake up. Ever since she fell into a coma, her mind had been replaying the sweet image of Xu Xiaoxiao wearing the bracelet Gu Yiming gave her that day, interspersed with sweet moments between Gu Yiming and herself, making it impossible for her to discern the truth.
The two are separated by a door. Jiang Hua, inside the door, is trapped in a dream, while Gu Yiming, outside the door, is trapped in reality. Both are stuck in a stalemate.
