"Wanwan!"
"lady!"
The Ghost Hand Doctor and Jiang Dong were both terrified!
Without saying a word, Jiang Dong jumped down immediately!
Qiao Wanwan was a good swimmer and tried to swim to deeper water, but Jiang Dong quickly caught up and pulled her back!
The two men surfaced, and Jiang Dong asked anxiously, "Madam, what do you want to do!"
"Don't worry, I didn't intend to commit suicide," Qiao Wanwan explained. "I just wanted to sense if Jingting and the child really fell into the sea; I'm sure I could sense it..."
"Madam, you are not fully recovered yet and cannot go into the water. Please get out of the water."
Qiao Wanwan returned to the yacht, and the Ghost Hand Doctor immediately handed her a towel to cover her, saying sternly, "Wanwan, if you continue like this, your master will absolutely not let you stay here."
"Master, I'm fine. I just wanted to sense it."
"Did you sense it?"
Qiao Wanwan pondered, "My intuition tells me that Jingting and the child are not here."
The Ghost Hand Doctor hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Wanwan, this is just your imagination. What if something really happens to them?"
"If something had happened, I should have been able to sense it, but my intuition tells me that I didn't."
“That’s a good thing,” said the Ghost Hand Doctor. “Master also believes that you and Jing Ting have a connection. Since we can’t even find any plane debris here, and you haven’t sensed anything, maybe they really are alive and well.”
Qiao Wanwan nodded.
Although there was still no news, she felt a little more at ease than waiting at home.
As darkness approached, the "Ghost Hand Doctor" finally led Qiao Wanwan back to the hotel.
"Wanwan, drink your medicine, get a good night's sleep, and adjust to the time difference so you can continue your search."
"I know." Qiao Wanwan finished the warm medicine in one gulp.
The Ghost Hand Doctor smiled and said, "You've always been afraid of bitterness since you were a child. Although you practice medicine and treat illnesses, you hate drinking medicine the most."
Qiao Wanwan wiped her mouth. "I don't know why, but I'm not afraid of hardship lately."
"That's because you're suffering too much inside." The Ghost Hand Doctor sighed. "Master knows he's making things difficult for you, child. Don't be afraid, Master is always by your side. Go to sleep."
Qiao Wanwan lay down and soon fell into a deep sleep.
Seeing that she was fast asleep, the quack doctor closed the door and left.
Jiang Dong stood guard at the door the whole time. "Old Master, how is Madam?"
"I added some medicine to her calming medicine to dispel wind and cold. If she gets a good night's sleep, she shouldn't catch a cold."
"That's good," Jiang Dong said. "This entire floor of the hotel has been booked, and security is very tight, so you can rest assured."
"Alright, thank you all for your hard work. You should all get some rest. I'll write a prescription for strengthening your bodies later and have someone brew it for you all."
"Thank you, sir."
......
Qiao Wanwan supervised the search on the yacht every day, but as before, she found nothing.
Qiao Wanwan rarely speaks. Apart from planning and handing over the search area, she usually sits on the deck in a daze.
Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye, and there is still no news.
In the afternoon, Qiao Wanwan was sitting on the deck, gazing absently at the vast sea, when suddenly a weight was placed on her shoulder.
She belatedly came to her senses and turned to see Wen Lijing's smiling face.
"Li Jing?" Qiao Wanwan asked, quite surprised. "What brings you here?"
Wen Lijing sat down next to her. "I haven't had much to do lately, so I came to see you."
"There's no point in coming here, why bother making the trip?"
"Wanwan, since you know it's useless, why are you still guarding here?"
"Of course I'm different."
Wen Lijing turned to look at her bright yet pale profile. "I often go to Wutong Bay, and your family is very worried about you."
“They video call me every day.”
“But they are still worried. Seeing you in the video every day is not as reassuring as having someone by your side to take care of you,” Wen Lijing said. “Wanwan, since there has been no news of Jingting and the child, you should pay more attention to the people around you. Don’t forget that you still have a child at home. He is so young. His father is no longer by his side. He can’t rely on servants to take care of him without his mother either. That’s not good for his growth.”
Qiao Wanwan lowered her eyes, her heart aching slightly.
“Wanwan, come home. Wutong Bay can’t live without you, and your family and children can’t live without you.” Wen Lijing continued, “Jingting is your pillar of support, but aren’t you the pillar of support for many others as well?”
Qiao Wanwan closed her eyes. "I know..."
"Listen to me, you have elderly parents and young children to take care of, so go home."
Qiao Wanwan took a deep breath. "You're right. I can't ignore the people around me. I'll go home."
Wen Lijing patted her shoulder, "I'll arrange a plane, we'll go back in the next couple of days."
"good."
Wen Lijing stayed with Qiao Wanwan on the deck for a while before getting up and going inside.
"Did Wanwan agree?" the Ghost Hand Doctor asked.
"Um."
The legendary healer breathed a sigh of relief. "I knew it would be helpful to ask you to persuade him. Li Jing, thank you."
"It's a small matter. I don't want Wanwan to waste her time here."
"Yes, she doesn't realize it herself. She thinks it will be calmer here, but that's not the case. She can't eat or sleep well every day. Nothing can distract her. She just sits there lost in thought every day. If this continues, she will get sick sooner or later. Both her body and mind will get sick, so she has to go home."
"Although Wanwan is sad, she can still listen to what I say. She loves Jingting and her family."
The Ghost Hand Doctor nodded, "At least she'll have so many people with her when she gets home, and the third brother can also distract her."
"yes."
......
Two days later, Qiao Wanwan returned to the capital.
She went to the nursery to see her third child immediately.
"Sister Shujun, the third son seems to have gained a bit of weight. Thank you for taking care of him."
"With so many people at home taking care of you, I'm just afraid I won't take good care of you and make you worry." Qin Shujun looked at her with concern, "Wanwan, you've lost weight again..."
"I'm fine." Qiao Wanwan hugged and kissed the third brother repeatedly. "I just missed him."
"It's good that you're back. Now you should take good care of your health."
"I will."
"You should go get some sleep and adjust to the time difference so you can spend more time with the kids."
"Okay." Qiao Wanwan reluctantly put down the third child. "Sister Shujun, call me if you need anything."
"good."
Qiao Wanwan returned to the master bedroom. Even when she wasn't there, the room was always spotless and very clean.
But her heart ached, and all her strength seemed to be drained away. Leaning against the closed door, she slowly slid down and collapsed to the ground.
The tears seemed to have dried up, and no more could flow.
It was as if I was hallucinating; all the memories I had shared with Zhan Jingting in the past flashed before my eyes.
Qiao Wanwan reached out, trying to grab the phantom, "Jing Ting..."
