When Bai Chen left, he was worried about leaving Qiao Qiao alone. The voice in his heart reminded him firmly: You canât leave!!
When Qiao Qiaoâs cold face appeared in his mind, he chose to compromise in the end. But when he rushed back with his phone, the beach was empty. âQiao
Qiao!â Bai Chenâs face was Dale as he stumbled towards the shore. anxiouslv looking for Qiao Qiao.
However, there was no trace of her.
âQiao Qiao, Qiaoâ¦â At this moment, Bai Chen saw a lump floating on the sea. On a closer look, he quickly recognized that it was the black down jacket Qiao Qiao had worn today. Bai Chen threw his phone aside and quickly took off his jacket. Without any hesitation, he jumped into the sea.
The sky was too dark, and the sea was bone-chilling. After going deep into the sea, he could not see anything. Bai Chen was numb from the cold, and his arms could barely exert any strength. His body was as heavy as lead as he kept sinking.
The conviction that he hadnât found her yet sustained him.
He kept surfacing to catch his breath. After his last breath of air, he stayed in the sea for a long time. The seawater from all directions poured into his ears, nose and throat. Bai Chen swam forward with all his might. After a long time, he surfaced again.
The cruise ship docked by the sea lit up with searchlights. The light and shadow of the sea shimmered and floated.
Not long after, Bai Chen swam ashore.
No one knew how long heâd been in the sea. No one knew how strong his willpower was to keep him awake and not be swept away by the waves.
At this moment, he was already drenched. The moment he reached the shore, all his strength was sucked away. His staggering steps were on the verge of collapse. The moment he fell, he did not forget to protect the person in his arms tightly.
This person he had saved with almost half his life.
Bai Chen was already trembling from the cold, but he couldnât care less about himself at this moment. He carefully placed the unconscious Qiao Qiao on the embankment and crawled over to get his cell phone and jacket.
He covered Qiao Qiaoâs cold body with his jacket first. Then, he pressed the emergency number.
His arms were trembling non-stop. He stopped himself, but when he opened his mouth, he realized that his voice was already trembling so much that it was in pieces. He could only try his best to speak clearly. âPunggol⦠Bay, fell into the sea and fainted. Urgentâ¦â
This short sentence took almost all of Bai Chenâs strength. He gripped his cell phone tightly and turned to look at the unconscious Qiao Qiao. A relieved smile appeared on his lips. âFortunately, I finally⦠finally saved youâ¦â
After saying this last sentence, Bai Chen could no longer hold on. His head drooped and he fainted. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
When the ambulance arrived, Qiao Qiao was lying there quietly. Her vital signs were very weak. Bai Chen was still unconscious, but his vital signs were fine.
The first thing the doctor did was to save Qiao Qiao, while Bai Chen was carried into another ambulance.
In the hospital.
Father and Mother Qiao, as well as Old Master Qiao, had already arrived and were waiting outside the emergency room.
Three hours later, it was after midnight. Qiao Qiao!s vital signs finally stabilized.
After the doctor came out to inform the family of the situation, Mother Qiao, who had been worried for a few hours, finally felt at ease. Because she was too nervous just now, she almost lost her balance after her body and mind relaxed.
Father Qiao held Mother Qiao steady and comforted her. âSheâs fine now.â
âl know sheâs fine.â Mother Qiao was terrified. Her tears couldnât stop falling. âWhy did she go to the sea? Why did she fall into the sea? All of this means that she clearly already knows everything. Sheâs been looking normal every day recently. It turns out that sheâs been trying her best to hide herself.â
Old Master Qiao, who was sitting in the wheelchair, had a weathered expression. His turbid eyes were filled with tears as he said in a trembling voice, âWhen is my granddaughter coming out?â
The doctor said, âShe has to undergo observation for the night first. If thereâs nothing wrong tomorrow morning, she can be transferred to a normal ward.â
Mother Qiao grabbed the doctorâs arm and asked anxiously, âIsnât her life out of danger?â
The doctorâs expression was solemn. âAlthough the patientâs life is out of danger at the moment, the patientâs own survival awareness is not strong, so we still need to observe.â
After the doctor left, Old Master Qiao sighed wistfully and closed his eyes. âAre you all satisfied with the current situation?â
âDad, you canât say that,â Father Qiao said. âThis is the last thing any of us want..â
