After a long while, Luo Xuan took a deep breath, “Lin Lan, I think we both need to calm down and seriously consider whether this marriage should continue. So, I will apply to the board to be transferred to the Zhuhai branch for a while. My mom is right, we are adults now, we can’t keep acting like children, and we can’t always ask our parents to intervene. Some things are better resolved by ourselves…”
Lin Lan sat there with a pale face, saying nothing. She felt a cold air rising from her feet to her heart, and then her entire body seemed to fall into an ice cellar, without a trace of warmth.
Chu Yue was awakened by the landline phone around eight in the morning. The sky outside was still dim and foggy. She reluctantly crawled out of bed to answer the phone. Her mobile had been off for several days, and she guessed whoever was calling had tried her cell phone first before resorting to the landline.
“Hello, who is this?” She had just yawned in her warm bed when she heard a weak voice, “Chu Yue, save me…” Chu Yue’s sleepiness instantly vanished.
“What’s wrong, Lei Lei? What happened?” She asked urgently, only hearing Yun Lei’s intermittent voice: “The child… the child… please save my child…”
“Lei Lei, tell me clearly, where are you? What’s wrong with the child?”
Yun Lei cried on the other end, “I’m at home, I’m bleeding a lot, I’m so scared…”
“
Bleeding? Could it be that Lei Lei was having a miscarriage? Oh my God! Chu Yue broke out in a cold sweat. “Lei Lei, don’t panic, call 120 right away, do you hear me, call 120!”
Suddenly, there was silence on the other end, only a busy tone. Chu Yue panicked: “Lei Lei, Lei Lei…” When she tried calling back, the line was dead.
What was happening? After a few seconds of confusion, she tried calling 120 in Zhuhai but couldn’t get through. Chu Yue was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. But at this moment, when she needed help the most, there was no one around to help her!
120 finally connected. Chu Yue quickly reported Yun Lei’s address and explained the situation, receiving confirmation that an ambulance would be dispatched. Only then did she slightly relax.
