He too had experienced the ground shaking, the terror of stones overhead, the beams of the house crashing down. As those things fell, he thought that his life was ending just like that, wondering if there was anything he regretted or couldn’t let go of.
At that mont, only her face appeared in his mind.
If he died there, that fair oval face would surely cry miserably, her big eyes would be filled with tears, and her nose red from crying, just like a rabbit that lost its carrot.
He thought about it, and before slipping into unconsciousness, he gritted his teeth and pushed through it!
It wasn’t the fear of death.
It was the unwillingness to leave.
He didn’t dare to die.
He couldn’t bear to divorce her, how could he bear to let her beco a young widow?
The warmth gradually spread through Jiang Nuan’s palm, her mood slowly cald down, and she pursed her lips in silence, "I know what you an, I understand the logic, but I still can’t help but feel upset when I hear it, feel upset inside."
Fu Yi tightened his grip on her hand, prying her fingers open one by one, insistently interlocking his fingers with hers, then he gave a soft nasal hum, "It’s okay, you still have , I’ll try to let you hear less of such things."
What kind of promise is that?
The assistant, a single dog, watched them flaunting their affection in front of him, not daring to make a sound, on the verge of tears, unconsciously coughed, adjusted his mood, and continued, "Director Fu, the efficiency of the rescue efforts has significantly slowed without you, many people have started to slack off again. Without you, there’s no one to keep them in line. A few days ago, a relative of the county mayor ca to cause trouble, demanding that we first dig out the family’s passbook, throwing a tantrum and refusing to leave. The mayor is busy with etings, so we can’t trouble him. However, more people are looking for excuses and connections to get the rescue team to salvage their belongings first. If this continues, the morale of the rescue team will beco even more scattered..."
Fu Yi curled his lips, that exquisite face like the spring breeze smiled, but his eyes showed no warmth, "The county mayor’s relative?"
"Seems to be a mber of the county mayor’s wife’s family... I don’t know the specifics..."
His eyes were cold, and his gaze was full of hostility, "Let the county mayor of Hechuan County co to my hospital room, I want to ask him which relative thinks their family’s money is more important than human lives and needs urgent rescue."
The assistant felt a wave of relief, swiftly agreeing, "Yes, Director Fu."
Before leaving, he paused, saying, "Oh, Director Fu, there’s one more thing. The Capital City has dispatched another dical team here, this ti with twice as many people as Madam’s team. They can temporarily alleviate the manpower shortage at the shelter. The old madam called to say there’s a doctor nad Xu Qingrong who’s an old family friend, and she asked for you to look after him a bit."
At the ntion of Xu Qingrong, Jiang Nuan’s back stiffened, her expression on her face gradually cooling.
How could Fu Yi not notice her change, his gaze sharply settled on the assistant who said too much.
The assistant felt a chill down his spine, not knowing where he went wrong, but quickly closed the door.
"Director Fu, you rest well, I’ll be going now. Goodbye, Madam."
With a click, the hospital room door closed.
Jiang Nuan didn’t even have ti to tell him not to call her Madam before he had already left.
She walked to the bedside, reaching out to remove the bandage, "Lie still, don’t move, I’ll help you check the wound’s healing."
Her side profile seed impartial, as if she wasn’t affected at all, but Fu Yi just sensed that ’keep your distance’ aura coming from her again.
