1011 Dont Turn Back (1/2)

What?

An'an instantly sprung up from her bed. Mom actually went into the jungle to look for Lu Yan?

Lu Yan was handling work matters there, it would be dangerous for her mother in the jungle.

She was probably out of her mind.

”Mom, listen to me. Ah Yan and I are fine, come back–”

Before An'an could even finish her words, she heard Huo Yanmei let out a shriek on the other end of the phone. The call ended abruptly with a beeping tone.

Huo Yanmei had lost signal.

When An'an called her again, an automated voice message was generated—-Sorry, the number you've called is currently unavailable.

What happened to her mom?

All the color drained from An'an's face. She quickly jumped off the bed and ran out of the hotel room.

…

An'an hailed a cab along the streets. ”Please take me to the jungle. Hurry.”

The cab driver switched on the radio. ”Miss, why are you heading to the jungle? It's forecasted that a hurricane is approaching at 2 in the afternoon. The weather forecast channel has issued a yellow warning, I can only drop you off somewhere nearby.”

An'an's heart palpitated. A hurricane was approaching?

…

An'an checked the time, it was currently 12 noon, she had two more hours.

Whipping out her phone, she dialed a phone number.

A calm voice was heard on the other end. ”Hello, An'an.”

”Brother, bad news! It's about Mom!” An'an clutched her phone tightly.

The other end of the phone went silent for two seconds. ”I'm on a business trip overseas now, I can't go over. I'll call Fu Qinglun and have him settle the matter. An'an, listen, a strong hurricane is going to hit the area soon. If we don't find Mom before 2pm, retreat.”

Gu Mohan sounded stern as he spoke.

An'an nodded her head. ”Mm, I got it.”

Her eyes turned red as she spoke, ”Brother, I'm going to take Mom out of that place. Although Mom has been despicable all her life and has hurt many people, including those we love, maybe tons of people hate her so much and curse her, she has given us our lives. Though it doesn't erase her crimes, but for you and I, she's our mother. No matter how selfish, narrow-minded, ridiculous she is… it was all her version of love for us.

”She has nothing to her name now, we are the only people who can comfort her in this lifetime. How could we forsake her? She has never once forsaken us even when she was at the lowest point of her life. Mom is old now.”

An'an was right, Mom was old. Mom was really becoming older as the clock was ticking.

All the wrong she had done in life had become just like a merciless dagger, ruining her appearance just like that and for so many countless nights, her soul had been tortured, causing her immense pain in her heart.

Mom was such a detestable, yet pitiful person.

Gu Mohan went silent for a bit before the corners of his lips quirked up and with a gentle tone, he said, ”An'an, you've really grown up.”

An'an had learned how to love. To love oneself and to love others, An'an had finally grown up. Love was the most indestructible force on earth.

…

An'an rushed to the jungle, a suave figure welcomed her in the front. Fu Qinglun had arrived even earlier than her.

”Young Master Fu,” An'an greeted him.

”An'an, I've sent my men to search the jungle. They've found your mother's cell phone. She drove here but her car has crashed down a hilly area. She had crashed down the hill together with the car.”
