“Okay, if there’s anything, call me at any time, and I’ll be right there.”
“Yes, sir.”
After speaking, Shen Shihan hung up the phone.
He hurriedly put on his coat and immediately called his assistant.
He instructed his assistant to rush to Mo Shuifu’s mother’s hospital and to bring a formidable medical team with him.
He should have transferred Mo Shuifu’s mother to another hospital long ago. Such a substandard hospital couldn’t even take proper care of one person!
Jumping off a building… What was her mother thinking?
Mo Shuifu went through all sorts of trouble for her mother, she even… didn’t hesitate to make a deal with him, yet her mother just went and jumped off a building.
In the bathroom, Mo Shuifu heard the commotion and came out dressed, “What happened? I thought I heard you mention my mother…”
Shen Shihan took a deep breath and steadied his emotions.
After all, he was a man accustomed to seeing the world’s ways, and soon, he calmly organized all his words.
“Shui Fu, I have something to tell you. Promise me not to get agitated and to listen to me till the end.”
Mo Shuifu immediately had a bad feeling, her heart pounding ceaselessly.
“Is it about my mother? Has something happened to her?”
“Just listen to me, don’t get agitated. The nurse from the hospital called just now, saying your mother jumped off the building. Of course, the doctors are now doing everything they can to save her. You have to trust the doctors; they will go all out.”
Mo Shuifu’s face turned white in an instant, her hands trembling. She couldn’t believe it!
“Are you lying to me? Are you joking? Shen Shihan, you’re lying to me, aren’t you? How could my mother jump off the building? Wasn’t she in a coma?”
“The nurse said she woke up tonight, and then she jumped. But until we clarify the truth, promise me not to act impulsively, absolutely not.”
“You’re lying to me, you’re lying to me!” Mo Shuifu still couldn’t control her emotions.
She put on her coat and ran out of the bedroom. With a “bang,” she flung open the door and dashed downstairs!
Her mind was blank; all she wanted was to get to the hospital as quickly as possible.
She didn’t believe it, she just wouldn’t believe it!
Last evening, her mother was fine, sleeping soundly. Why would she have jumped off the building now?
Shen Shihan was definitely deceiving her; he was such a liar.
She ran swiftly under the night sky, the cold wind whistling past her face, her body shivering in waves.
“Mo Shuifu, get in the car!”
Shen Shihan also followed her downstairs, quickly driving his car to her side. Compared to her, he was much calmer.
She had run downstairs recklessly, grabbing nothing, and now, she was planning just to go to the hospital like this!
Regardless of any grudges between Mo Shuifu and Shen Shihan, she opened the car door and jumped in: “Can you please drive faster? I’m begging you, drive faster, I want to see my mom… she can’t be in trouble…”
Mo Shuifu shook his arm, tears streaming nonstop.
“Don’t cry, don’t cry, everything will be all right. Sit tight; I’ll take you there,” Shen Shihan comforted her.
He touched her face, started the car, pressed the accelerator, and drove to the hospital as quickly as possible.
“Why would my mom jump off a building? She’s such an optimistic person. She finally woke up, and I didn’t even get to see her face. I have so many, many things I want to tell her…”
Mo Shuifu finally began to calm down a bit, but her voice was choked, and she continued to sob softly.
Her entire body trembled; she clutched the seat belt tightly, unwilling to believe.
“Shui Fu, be strong. Your mother won’t have any trouble. I’ve already sent a team of specialists over; they will do their utmost to save her.”
“Shen Shihan… I don’t hope for anything to happen to my mom either; she’s the closest person to me in this world… If something happens to her, what am I going to do…”
“Shui Fu, no matter what, remember that you have me,” Shen Shihan said. “I know you might not like me much, but always remember that whenever you need help, I’ll be there at the first opportunity.”
Shen Shihan wasn’t someone for sweet talk, but whatever promise he could give her, he would.
She disdained gold and jewelry, and she didn’t need wealth and glory.
He knew what she needed: someone who could see through all her disguises and offer her protection.
“Shen Shihan… Thank you.” Mo Shuifu had never imagined that, in her times of utter despair, it was always him who appeared.
“Thank me for what?” Shen Shihan faintly curled his lips. “When we get to the hospital, no matter what happens, you have to stay strong. Promise me that.”
Mo Shuifu wiped away her tears: “I’ll try.”
“Your mother certainly wouldn’t want to see you crying, so be strong.”
Shen Shihan’s voice was very gentle; he almost forgot that he could be gentle.
All the way, Shen Shihan made several calls to his assistant, mobilizing all available resources and manpower.
“Don’t be scared; I’m here,” Shen Shihan said as he drove, suddenly stretching out a hand to grasp Mo Shuifu’s interlocked hands.
Her hands were ice cold, startling even Shen Shihan.
“I’m here, and I’ll stay with you,” Shen Shihan reassured her.
His palm was warm, and Mo Shuifu’s icy body finally felt a trace of warmth.
Perhaps it was the intense nervousness, or she had no energy to resist, but she let his hand grip hers tightly.
This warmth made her feel an attachment.
After struggling for so many years, she thought she was nearly at her limit…
It wasn’t until her hand slowly warmed in his palm that he let go and continued to grip the steering wheel tightly.
Soon, they arrived at the hospital. Indeed, several ambulances were parked at the entrance.
The car had barely come to a stop when Mo Shuifu unfastened her seatbelt and was about to open the door.
“Don’t move rashly; wait for me,” said Shen Shihan.
Only after parking the car steadily in the garage did he open the door, authoritatively pulled her hand, and walked with her side by side to the third floor.
In times like these, he had nothing else to give her but his protection and companionship.
Mo Shuifu tried to break free from his hand and head towards the operating room, frantic with urgency as if she wanted to sprint there.
“Shui Fu, your mother has been taken into the operating room. Next, the doctors will go all out. What we need to do is wait quietly; we must not be impatient.”
Shen Shihan was very calm; he had seen his share of major events, and he could stay firm in such situations.
“Shen Shihan… My mom won’t be in trouble, right?”
Mo Shuifu raised her swollen eyes, brimming with tears.
When she looked at him, a sudden pain struck his heart—it hurt him to see her like this.
He caressed her face and nodded, “She won’t be in trouble. No matter how long it takes, I’ll wait with you.”
Upon reaching the third floor, Mo Shuifu found some unknown strength and broke away from Shen Shihan’s grasp, running towards the operating room.
“Shui Fu!” Shen Shihan chased after her.
At the operating room, there was indeed only the tightly shut door, impermeable to any air.
