Just as Chen Shuning was ready to fall, she did not fall to the ground as expected, but instead fell into a familiar and warm embrace.
Chen Shuning looked up in surprise and saw that face she knew all too well.
After a long day of hard work, Chen Shuning made no attempt to hide her exhaustion and dependence, and immediately started to whine to the person in front of her: "I'm so tired! Have you finished dealing with everything over there? Where is your base? Is it far from here?"
At this moment, Chen Shuning had only one thought in his mind: to know if He Chaoyang was alright.
As for the earthquake, she didn't even want to mention it, because the topic was too heavy for her to bear.
However, when faced with a series of questions from Chen Shuning, He Chaoyang, contrary to his usual behavior, kept a straight face and remained silent.
In fact, He Chaoyang arrived at this moment filled with rage.
Although he didn't know much about these things before, as Chen Shuning's pregnancy progressed, He Chaoyang consulted professionals about related knowledge in order to better take care of his wife.
If this mission hadn't been so urgent that it was indispensable for him, he would have been fully prepared to dedicate himself to accompanying his wife through her postpartum period.
Therefore, he had already made the necessary arrangements for his work in advance.
Therefore, He Chaoyang was very clear about how crucial and important the postpartum period was for a new mother!
However, the reality he faces is astonishing—when he left home, his wife was pregnant with their child, but now? She has left their newborn baby alone in the capital while she herself has gone to such a dangerous place!
How could this not infuriate He Chaoyang! As temperatures continued to rise, manpower was severely lacking, and a large number of bodies dug out of the ruins could not be disposed of in a timely and proper manner.
Under such harsh conditions, an epidemic could easily break out. The current environment can only be described as appalling; even the most basic accommodations are difficult to guarantee.
At that time, here, even a tiny mosquito bite could have fatal consequences.
And his wife, a woman who had just given birth, had actually come running over so recklessly! How could He Chaoyang not be furious!
Just then, Lu Jinghua, who had just completed an amputation surgery, stepped out of the tent and immediately saw her son with a gloomy face. Her instinctive reaction was to turn around and go back into the tent.
She knew her son best. When he got really angry, he didn't care about anyone's feelings. As a dignified head of surgery, if her son really lectured her here, she would lose all face.
Although Lu Jinghua turned around quickly enough, she couldn't keep up with He Chaoyang's voice.
"Ms. Lu Jinghua, shouldn't you tell me why Shuning is here at this time?"
Lu Jinghua felt a little scared when she heard her son's voice, especially when he called her by her full name.
Despite her strong, independent personality at home and at work, and her unwavering commitment to her word, Lu Jinghua felt somewhat guilty towards her son, whom she hadn't had time to care for since birth.
Reluctantly walking towards the two, he muttered in a low voice, "This isn't my fault. It was your grandmother's order to place Shuning in the rescue team. I... I had no choice."
It was the first time Chen Shuning had seen He Chaoyang's dark face, and he didn't react for a moment. By the time he did, Lu Jinghua was already beside them.
Hearing her mother-in-law's tone, Chen Shuning felt a little guilty and angry, and punched He Chaoyang in the chest, scolding, "What are you doing? I came here on my own. Why are you yelling at Mom?"
As she spoke, Chen Shuning tried to push He Chaoyang away, wanting to comfort her mother-in-law, who was clearly frightened.
Unexpectedly, instead of letting go, the man picked her up and turned to Lu Jinghua, saying, "I'm taking Shuning back to my place. Could you please let the hospital know?"
After saying that, He Chaoyang carried Chen Shuning out of the temporary hospital and headed towards his residence.
Watching her son's figure recede into the distance, Lu Jinghua breathed a sigh of relief and turned to go into the tent assigned to her.
Her son was truly terrifying; even she, as his mother, was afraid of him when he turned dark. In her opinion, only her daughter-in-law could keep this boy in check.
Regardless of what Lu Jinghua thought, He Chaoyang, who carried his wife all the way back to his tent, had a dark expression the whole way and no one dared to come up to him to say hello.
Out of consideration for the man's concern for her, Chen Shuning remained quietly asleep in He Chaoyang's arms the entire way, without saying a word.
Only after entering the tent and placing the person on the bed did He Chaoyang pull up a stool from the side and sit down on the edge of the bed, asking with a stern face, "You know how dangerous this earthquake was. How could you leave your newborn child behind and come here? Can you really rest easy?"
Speaking of her son, Chen Shuning still felt somewhat guilty. Leaning against the quilt, she stammered, "My son has his grandmother taking care of him, so what do I have to worry about? It's you, though. I knew it was dangerous here, and that's why I left our son and came here."
Honey, I don't know why, but ever since you left, I've been feeling really anxious. I always feel like something bad will happen if I don't come.
You know my intuition is always very accurate. You have no idea how sensible our son is. People say childbirth is extremely painful, but our son didn't cause me much trouble. It felt like he was born in no time. After he was born, he didn't cry or fuss. As long as he was full, he wouldn't make a fuss at all.
