Save Me!

Yun Nan walked into the ward under Lan Long’s surprised gaze, and the old man was overjoyed. She helped the old man onto the bed and said, “Grandpa, lie down and let the nurse take your blood pressure, okay?”

The old man lay down obediently, and the nurse holding the blood pressure monitor at the side quickly came forward to measure his blood pressure. Then, she stuffed two white pills into Yun Nan’s palm.

Yun Nan understood and poured a glass of water. After the old man had his blood pressure measured, she coaxed him into taking the meds. The old man lay down, holding Yun Nan’s hand, feeling quite satisfied. “I’ll take a nap. We’ll go eat something delicious when I wake up,” he told Yun Nan.

Yun Nan agreed with a smile and let him hold her hand. The meds were probably sleeping pills, as the old man fell asleep shortly, and his breathing evened out. The nurse beside her heaved a sigh of relief. “Thank goodness you’re here, Mrs. Shi. The old man had quite the tantrum today, and no one could coax him. Thank you.” Since Shi Ke—and now Xiang Yang—stayed on this same floor, the young nurse was familiar with Yun Nan.

Yun Nan gently removed her wrist from the old man’s grasp and said with a smile, “It’s nothing.” She smiled at Lan Long and walked out.

Lan Long followed, effusively thanking her. “Yun Nan, thank you so much! Oh, I can’t even express my gratitude. What a coincidence to meet you today! You’re truly our lady luck.” He was somewhat incoherent with gratitude.

Yun Nan turned around and chuckled, “Mr. Lan, it was nothing. There’s no need to take it to heart. I just happened to be passing by. If it were anyone else, they would’ve done the same. I still have some things to do, so I’ll be leaving now.”

Lan Long stared at Yun Nan with a gaze full of tenderness, making Yun Nan feel slightly uncomfortable. She could still feel Lan Long’s gaze following her when she entered the elevator. Yun Nan felt a slight chill down her back.

Han Yuan tried her best to raise her upper body and support herself with her elbow. She reached out to close the valve of the infusion tube. She wanted to use this period of time when no one was around to exercise the limbs she could move. She would open the infusion tube’s valve when a nurse came in and let the sleeping meds enter her body.

Someone suddenly pushed open the ward’s door silently, and Yun Nan—who was at the door—and Han Yuan—on her elbows—looked at each other, both stunned.

Then, Han Yuan’s elbow weakened, and she crashed onto her bed; at almost the same time, Yun Nan entered the room and closed the door. Han Yuan’s head was covered in sweat. Yun Nan quickly strode to her bedside and looked around. There was no one else in the ward.

“Auntie?” Yun Nan called out softly. Han Yuan didn’t move. Yun Nan continued gently, “Auntie, I’m Yun Nan. I’m Shi Nian’s wife. My mother-in-law is one of your best friends, Xu Yun.”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Han Yuan’s heart beat violently, causing more sweat to bead on her forehead. ‘ There’s no time to wait any longer. This opportunity is too rare for me!’ she thought. Han Yuan opened her eyes and said hoarsely, “Help me!”

Yun Nan stepped back in shock. “You—I‘

Han Yuan reached out to grab Yun Nan’s wrist and anxiously uttered, “Help me! Get me out of here! Tell Xu Yun to save me! For the sake of our many years of friendship, save me! I’m about to be killed! Save me! Get me out of here!”

Han Yuan’s grip was like iron. Yun Nan was shocked and didn’t have time to think. “Do you want me to tell Xi Cheng?” she asked.

“No, don’t! You can’t! That idiot… can’t see through people’s intentions at all! Get me out of here! Otherwise, Lin Yu will kill me sooner or later! My son’s… useless! I’ll save myself… without his help!” Han Yuan panted.

Her gaze fell on the clock on the opposite wall, and she released Yun Nan. “Leave now! Hurry! Lin Yu went for a prenatal check-up and will be back soon!”

Yun Nan subconsciously turned around to glance at the ward’s door and went forward to hold Han Yuan’s hand. “Don’t worry, Auntie. I’ll think of a way to get you out right away! Hang in there; I’ll definitely save you! Take care!”

With that, she left. Yun Nan’s figure had just disappeared around the corner when Lin Yu came out of the elevator. She walked very carefully. The results of her prenatal check-up weren’t optimistic; the doctor told her to rest in bed and try to move around as little as possible. Lin Yu was slightly annoyed. ‘I can’t lie in bed and comfortably recuperate right now. After all, there are too many things waiting for me to do.’

‘ However, this child shares the closest blood ties with me in this world. He might even be the only one I could rely on in my life. After all, Xi Cheng isn’t the good husband I wished for; I can’t depend on him. There are too many uncertainties in the future. Only this child belongs to me completely, and therre also the most important tool for me to control the Xi Corporation in the future. Therefore, I have to protect this child!’

Lin Yu absentmindedly entered her ward and habitually checked on the sleeping Han Yuan. ‘ The old hags health has probably started to deteriorate.

She would sweat profusely every day at this time, but she sleeps like a log.’ Lin Yu had stuck a needle in Han Yuan’s foot before to check if the woman was pretending to be asleep but got no reaction.

‘Hurry up and die already. If she’s dead, I’ll be free..’
