"Since Missy said to only call her husband, only call him," said Anna in the end.
"But..." Cloe wanted to say that Mu Chenyan will kill her if she didn't tell her about such a big thing.
"You are worried about Miss Mu's anger right now? Do you think Missy will go easy on you if you went against her orders?"
Cloe didn't dare think about it. That's right. How could she forget that if one was the monster and the other was the devil incarnate?! She was stuck between a rock and a hard place. But at this mont, she chose her loyalty to Raelle.
Cloe contacted the hospital and arranged for everything while Anna was left at Minister Chen's residence with two other mbers of her team to investigate the matter.

Earlier in the evening, Shui Xian was still busy with work. Since the ti he arrived, he had been working and hadn't taken a rest even for a minute. He was eager to finish his work since he planned to go back ho by tonight.
As he sat in the eting room, he felt really uneasy. Sothing was bothering him. He didn't know what it was. He just knew that he had a stifling feeling. His chest felt so stuffy that he found it hard to breathe. He wanted to take the glass and drink so water but ended up knocking down the glass.
As the glass fell to the floor and broke into pieces, Shui Xian's heart was jolted.
He stood up imdiately. Everyone in the eting room looked at him while he ordered, "Ma Jin, take over the eting." Throwing those words over his shoulder, he ran out.
Call him superstitious or whatever, because he was indeed one. If he believed the Koi fishes were the form of luck, then he definitely believed in misfortunes as well. For instance, the breaking of glass. It indicated that sothing was about to happen or sothing already happened. However, whichever one it was, he wasn't feeling good about it.
Even the universe can't help giving you a sign when sothing is about to happen. Those were the words he strongly believed in. He still rembered that he also broke a glass on the day Tang Hebe had asked for a divorce.
He booked a flight back ho on his own and left all the people who accompanied him on this trip here. He had co over his private jet but decided to take a comrcial flight back since he knew it'll take ti for the private jet to get the clearance from the air traffic control.
All throughout the flight, he couldn't sit still even for a mont.
"Young man, will you stop it already?"
Shui Xian was startled and looked at the passenger sitting beside him. It was a woman probably in her forties.
The woman looked at his worried expression and said, "You know even if you keep shaking your leg so much, it won't help! The flight can't go any faster. So, calm down. Stop disturbing others as well."
"I'm sorry," Shui Xian chose to apologize nicely. After all, even he knew his shaking must have disturbed her a lot. And she still bore it for an hour patiently.
The woman sighed, "Forget it." She took a pause and added, "By the way, are you alright? Do you want so water?"
Shui Xian shook his head and offered her a small smile. The woman didn't say anything else and let him be. She just took a magazine and put it on her face as she leaned back to rest.
Shui Xian clasped his hands together in worry and prayed sincerely for everything to be alright. Even if all of this was just in his head, he didn't give a damn! He'd rather be safe than sorry.
It's not like the universe has ever given him the wrong signals. So, he was still willing to believe that he wasn't wrong. Not at all!
As the flight landed and the passengers ca out, Shui Xian also rushed out and turned on his phone. Hardly a minute had passed when his phone rang. Seeing that the call was from Cloe, his heart jumped. He had a bad premonition and it scared him.
"Hello?"
"Mr. Shui, you'll have to co back. Chief got into an accident and we are taking her to the Hope Foundation Hospital right now."
Shui Xian felt like his ears were buzzing and all that his brain registered was the fact that his wife got into an accident. He almost dropped his phone but taking a deep breath, he cald down sowhat and asked, "How is she?"
Cloe went silent and Shui Xian's heart squeezed when she didn't reply imdiately. It ant the situation wasn't good.
"Okay. I'll be right there," answered Shui Xian and hung up the phone. He rushed over to take a cab and bumped into the woman from earlier who sat beside him on the flight.
"Watch it, young man!"
"I'm sorry! But I'm in a hurry," he said.
The woman didn't say anything. Not because he said he was in a hurry but because he looked worse than before. Earlier, he only appeared worried. But right now, he looked like he was about to cry. Yes, cry! She was so startled by that fact that she didn't say anything. The situation must be serious enough for a big man to react like this.
And it wasn't like she got hurt by that bump, there was no point harping on it.
Shui Xian caught a cab and asked the driver to go faster. Since he ca back all too suddenly, he didn't even call back ho to ask his driver to co and pick him up. He was completely following his feeling to co back but who knew what he was worried about still happened. And of everything he could think about, it had to be his wife who got into an accident!
