Chapter 173: So Sweet

The rescue had lasted three days. The casualties had been confirmed for all except a few missing villagers.

The medical group that Su Qingsang belonged to had been working around the clock. They saved the lives of those who were still breathing when they were dug out.

Some cases, however, were beyond their capabilities.

During those three days, Huo Jinyao had stayed with her the entire time. When she performed surgery, he helped deal with the injured. He served as a volunteer and was busy all day long.

Aside from him, there was also Qiu Yanbo. He was busy and did quite a lot of things as well.

When the three days ended, the rescue efforts came to an end. The doctors from Qingyuan County took over the job. Su Qingsang and her co-workers had gotten a notice that they could go back to Lin City.

Su Qingsang had taken the car with her medical team to the rescue site, but she drove back with Huo Jinyao.

Throughout this period, she didn’t sleep well a single night. As soon as they got on the car, Huo Jinyao considerately adjusted her seat lower.

“It takes more than two hours to get to Lin City. You can get some shut-eye.” Huo Jinyao said.

“What about you? Aren’t you sleepy?” Su Qingsang asked.

“I’m not sleepy,” Huo Jinyao replied.

Huo Jingyao found a blanket to tuck her in and said, “Go to sleep.”

Su Qingsang cast a look at him with no rejection. She yawned and laid down. She fell asleep soon.

When she woke up, she found that she was already in her home in Lin City.

She slept so deeply that she didn’t know how she entered her house.

She felt a bit embarra.s.sed and looked around, but Huo Jinyao wasn’t there.

She came out of the bedroom and still did not see Huo Jinyao. The hourly employee, Sister Lu, was cooking in the kitchen.

“Sister Lu, where is Huo Jinyao?” Su Qingsang asked.

“He might be in his study.” Sister Lu kept on working and said, “Mr. Huo told me to call him when it was lunchtime, which is right now.”

Su Qingsang nodded to Sister Lu and then entered the study.

Huo Jinyao seemed quite busy. He sat behind the desk, with his laptop powered on before him and a pile of doc.u.ments at hand.
