Chapter 389 - Unable To Calm Down (1/2)

Huo Jinyao didn’t see it with his own eyes. He did know that during the accident, Xiang Caiping was flung outwards and then crashed onto the ground. She might’ve sustained some internal injuries.

However, it was still unknown what the injuries were. He wasn’t very well-read in this field, so he had no way of knowing what the consequences might be.

“T-Then—”

Su Qingsang was a doctor. In the usual circumstances, she was the one who would help the patient’s family to remain calm. However, now that this happened to her, she could not calm herself down at all.

“Try to relax. Take a nap when you’re on the flight. I’ll send somebody to pick you up. Don’t panic. I believe that our mom will be alright.”

“Huo Jinyao, I-I—” She was unable to calm down, and she simply couldn’t believe him at all.

She just acknowledged her mother — she had just established a mother-daughter relationship with Xiang Caiping. She thought she would be compensated for the twenty or more years’ worth of maternal love she missed until now.

Now, she feared that she might lose this newly discovered love again.

Huo Jinyao’s heart ached when he heard Su Qingsang’s frightened voice.

He could empathize with Su Qingsang. She was like a drowning person who caught hold of a piece of flotsam. When people regain the love they lost, they won’t ever want to lose it again.

If anything really happened to Xiang Caiping, that would be a hard, terrible blow to Su Qingsang. Suddenly, he was unable to comfort her.

He heard some fumbling. Su Qingsang seemed to have put the phone down.

Huo Jinyao took a deep breath. While he was trying to figure out how to console her, he heard a male voice coming from the other end of the line.

“Junior, don’t be like that. I believe that she’ll be fine.”

Huo Jinyao gripped the phone in his palm and froze in place. Zuo Hongchen?

That’s was definitely his voice. Why is he in Rong City too?

Su Qingsang didn’t speak. She only shook her head.

“Junior, come on, now. Chin up. She’s waiting for you to take care of her.”

Su Qingsang glanced at him and thought about what he said, then finally nodded.

“That’s right.”

Zuo Hongchen had to participate in a surgery with the people from Rong City Central Hospital today. The moment he finished the operation, he saw Su Qingsang scrambling desperately to apply for leave with the head of management, asking to return to Lin City.

That was the first time he ever saw such an expression on Su Qingsang’s face.

It was only after he asked that he found out something had happened to Su Qingsang’s mother. Then, he got a little confused. He knew that Su Qingsang was an illegitimate child — he always thought that she was out of touch with her mother.

He only found out now that it wasn’t like he had thought.

He removed his surgery scrubs and drove her to the airport. At first, he even thought of accompanying her back home.

However, he was one of the key personnel at this time. With Su Qingsang gone, he couldn’t just do however he pleased.

“Senior, I’m fine. Thanks for sending me here. I’ll get on the plane on my own later.”

“Take care, then.” Zuo Hongchen was actually still worried about her. However, looking at the state Su Qingsang was in, he realized quite clearly she wanted to be alone.

“You can go back now. I’m going in.”

Su Qingsang took her luggage from Zuo Hongchen. As she was planning to enter the departure zone, she discovered that she had not hung up the phone.

She paused, then decided that she couldn’t care less about it.

“Huo Jinyao?”

“I’m here.”
