Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 711
Yan shook her head. “Didn’t I tell you…”
“Yan, if you still think of me as your best friend, then stop doing all these unnecessary things to delay my time or block my way.”
Han Muzi’s voice sharpened—even her eyes had become stern. Yan, who was a former employee at Ye Moxuan’s company, thought Han Muzi’s gaze looked exactly like Ye Moxuan’s. Her heart was filled with mixed emotions, but thinking about Ye Moxuan’s accident, she gritted her teeth and mustered up her courage to continue explaining, “How could I not think of you as my best friend? It’s exactly because you are my best friend that I can’t watch you go out looking like this! Muzi, don’t rush, alright? Let me fix your makeup first. You are the bride!”
Han Muzi’s expression darkened. “Really? Am I the bride? At a wedding without the groom?”
Yan didn’t reply to Muzi.
“Did something happen?” Han Muzi asked again.
Han Muzi’s gaze was as sharp as knives; Yan had always known that Han Muzi and Ye Moxuan were quite alike in some ways, but she didn’t expect them to be so similar. Han Muzi’s gaze right now looked very much like the way Ye Moxuan’s gaze used to sweep over her.
She hunched her shoulders weakly, then shook her head. “N-Nothing happened… but…”
“You don’t need to say anymore.” Han Muzi took a deep breath and tried to calm her emotions. “If you won’t tell me, I won’t force you. But this is the last time I’m asking; if you still won’t move aside, I’m going to get angry.”
Yan raised her head and anxiously looked at Han Muzi. “Muzi…”
Han Muzi’s face was expressionless and her eyes were uncompromising—both seemed to say that there was no discussion. If Yan refused to move aside, then they might not even remain as friends anymore.
Yan felt fearful and could only slowly move aside.
She finally moved aside… Just as Han Muzi took a step forward while holding up the hem of her dress, a tall figure appeared in front of her and blocked her path. “Qing?”
Han Qing’s gloomy gaze fell on her face; his expression was cold without a hint of warmth. “Don’t go out.”
“Are you blocking my way too?” Han Muzi asked.
Seeing that he didn’t speak, she laughed miserably. “This is my wedding! Why can’t I go outside? Can you… tell me the reason why?”
The facial expressions of Han Qing and Yan were solemn, but at the same time, they refused to answer her questions. The unease in her heart kept getting stronger; unable to take it anymore, she rushed past them while exclaiming, “If you won’t tell me then forget it! I’ll go out myself! Moxuan may be arriving soon. If he sees that I’m not there, then he—”
Her arm holding up the train of her dress was caught by Han Qing. She tried to continue pushing past him, but she couldn’t move an inch. “Let me go.”
“Don’t go.” His tone gradually became gloomier, like dark clouds covering the skies.
Standing by the side, Yan noticed that the aura around him had changed; she involuntarily hunched her shoulders even more and saw the tears that had already gathered in Han Muzi’s eyes. “Why? If you’re going to stop me from going out, you should at least give me a reason, right?”
He turned around and looked at Han Muzi with ice-cold eyes. “What reason do you want?”
She felt her heart turning to ice and sinking downward. Her beautiful eyes that had been calm and clear suddenly seemed to overflow with anger. Forcefully shaking off his hand, she ran out while carrying the train of her skirt, without any regard for the consequences.
“Muzi!” Upon seeing her run out, Yan hurriedly chased after her.
However, Han Qing stopped Yan, thereupon she exclaimed, “Let me go quickly! Muzi went outside! Quickly let go!”
“Let her go.” He pinched his lips together and said emotionlessly, “She’ll find out eventually anyway; we can’t keep it from her for much longer.
“But…” The tears that had started pooling in Yan’s eyes flowed out uncontrollably and she started crying. “Muzi won’t be able to bear it once she knows the truth.”
He pursed his lips together—his expression was terrifyingly gloomy—but he did nothing. At this point in time… whatever it was that they did would be pointless anyway.
After running out without any regard for the consequences, Han Muzi found that it was a mess outside. Someone among the press had learned of the information while checking the news and incidentally exposed the fact that Ye Moxuan was a passenger of the plane involved in the accident. Therefore, the crowd at the scene—that had been waiting for the groom who had yet to appear after so long—exploded in fervor, and frantically began filming the scene after the news spread.
When Han Muzi walked out, somebody shouted out that the bride had arrived. The press then swarmed around her; countless cameras and flashing lights were pointed at her face.
“Miss Han, I heard that the reason the groom hasn’t appeared was that the plane he was on was involved in an accident. Is that true? Do you know about this?”
“Miss Han, if something really happened to Mr. Ye, will the marriage ceremony today go on?”
“Miss Han, how long have you been waiting today? Are you sad that your future husband has been met with an accident?”
She was shocked into silence as countless questions stabbed into her heart like cold and sharp weapons. She didn’t know anything! First, she had been brought into the dressing room by Yan, then there had been all sorts of obstacles in her way when she tried to exit the room. After coming out, she had wanted to wait for Ye Moxuan’s arrival lest he arrived and couldn’t find her. But what’s going on here? Why is everyone in the press asking me these questions?
Ye Moxuan’s plane was involved in an accident? Why am I unaware of this?
There was a roaring sound in her head: the flashing lights were too dazzling; the lipstick on her lips had been wiped away; the flood of questions from the press right now made the blood drain away from her face and lips. She looked deathly pale. Moreover, she was wearing a white wedding dress. The combined look made her seem like a girl made of crystal that would shatter into pieces at the slightest touch. Even so, the cameras kept focusing on her and the press kept squeezing toward her. One of the cameras even pushed up directly in front of her face.
“Miss Han, based on your expression, you know about this incident, right? Why are you still waiting here? Are you not worried that something happened to your future husband?”
“Is your marriage to Mr. Ye arranged by your respective families out of necessity?”
“Miss Han…”
“Miss Han!”
Han Muzi could no longer hear what the surrounding press was shouting at her. A camera pushed forward and hit her on the head. The pain caused her to take a step back, but the crowd—thinking that she wanted to escape—squeezed up against her again. Amidst all the chaos, someone pushed her, and she staggered before falling backward onto the stone-cold floor.
I-It can’t be… How could something happen to Ye Moxuan? It’s impossible… He promised me that he would give me a surprise… He also promised that he would cherish and take care of me and Little Bean for the rest of his life! This is impossible!
Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 712
The wedding venue was a mess.
When Han Qing rushed out, he happened to see her fall. Heading straight to Han Muzi, he helped her up with a cold expression. He noticed that her snow-white wedding gown was sporting several black footprints where it had been stepped on. The skin on her shoulder was scraped and torn, and her milky-white forehead had a huge red bruise as if something had knocked hard into her. How could such a drastic change happen in just a few minutes?
Yan took one look around and pondered for a while. She turned around and started yelling angrily at the press, “Are you guys inhumane? Even after such a big incident has happened, you still knocked over and hit her! Are you really journalists? You’re more like paparazzi!”
Yan’s angry ranting made the press gathered on-site sober up quickly—they had been over-excited just now. Seeing Han Qing help up the pale-faced Han Muzi, who was injured and leaning weakly in her brother’s arms, they inadvertently took a few steps back and suddenly felt a little guilty.
“We are sorry. We lost ourselves in the moment. It wasn’t intentional. Miss Han doesn’t look too good. It would be good to quickly send her to the hospital for a checkup.”
“That’s right; that’s right. The skin on her arm is torn; hurry up and send her to the hospital.”
All the strength had left Han Muzi’s body. At the moment, she had no strength at all. She leaned against Han Qing like a piece of clay. He knew that they couldn’t delay any longer, and simply picked her up in his arms. “I’ll send her to the hospital. You should immediately contact the employees to clear out the place. Handle it.”
“Alright.” Yan couldn’t care about other matters right now, and could only do as Han Qing had instructed.
He carried Han Muzi and left. As he was about to enter the car, Han Muzi, who had been lying weakly in his arms, suddenly reached out and grabbed his sleeve. “Did something happen to Moxuan? Was what they were saying true?”
He paused mid-step, then stopped walking.
“I don’t believe it.” Her deathly-pale face looked up at her brother who was carrying her. “Qing, tell me… What the press said just now… Is it true?”
Pursing his lips, he said nothing until he brought her into the car, then he softly said, “It’s too chaotic here. You shouldn’t stay here any longer. Let’s go to the hospital to treat your wounds first.” He stared at her scraped up shoulder and her pale countenance.
“No!” She shook her head and grabbed his sleeve tightly. “I won’t go to the hospital! I want to go to the airport!”
To the airport? He furrowed his brows. “If we go to the airport now, it’ll probably be swarming with reporters too.”
“I need to look for him, Qing…” She raised her head; her eyes were hollow and lifeless. Clutching at his hands, she looked like a dying fish that was holding onto its last ray of hope—reluctant to let go.
These eyes… He couldn’t bear to keep looking at her. Pursing his lips and gritting his teeth, he said, “Look for him? Where will you go to find him? Do you think you’d find him if you went to the airport?’
“I want to go to the airport.” She insisted stubbornly.
Han Qing then looked toward the driver. “Head to the nearest hospital. We need to treat her wounds.”
Han Muzi widened her eyes in shock at his words and stared at him incredulously. “I won’t go to the hospital!”
“Your hand is injured and your condition isn’t good. We need to go to the hospital immediately.” He was insistent.
Han Muzi said nothing and simply looked at him for a few moments. Then, she tried to climb over him to open the car door in a burst of strength that came out of nowhere. The car was already moving, and her behavior was extremely dangerous. He quickly grabbed her to stop her and growled, “Are you crazy? You’ll die if you fall from here!”
She then answered stubbornly. “Even if I died, I still wouldn’t go to the hospital! I told you I want to go to the airport! Stop the car! Stop the car!”
Han Qing was speechless. Looking at her crazy actions, he felt extremely frustrated. Having been by her side for so many years, he was well aware that she would not be deterred when she decided to do something. Whatever she had decided on, even if she came out battered and injured, she would still do willingly.
He stopped her hands, closed his eyes, and then said, “Turn the car around and go to the airport.”
The driver obeyed Han Qing’s instructions; if he asked him to turn around, then the driver wouldn’t dare say anything else. As such, the driver immediately turned the car around and drove in the direction of the airport.
Feeling a little relieved now that the car had changed its course, she tremblingly took out her phone to book flight tickets. Watching her, Han Qing, who was sitting beside her, interrupted her. “You want to book flight tickets? Have you decided where you’re going? Even if the plane had met with an accident, the news hasn’t even been reported yet. You don’t even know where you need to go.”
Han Muzi paused with her hand on the screen, After a while, she lifted her head to look at her brother. “Then, tell me… What should I do? I can’t get through to his phone. I can’t find him. Are you saying… I should just do nothing?”
He took a deep breath and nodded his head. “Truthfully, it would be best for you to do nothing right now. Calm down and think about it; what can you do?”
Listening to what he just said, she immediately realized that there was nothing she could do. Going to the airport? Buying flight tickets? But where was I supposed to go? Where did Moxuan’s accident occur? What’s the situation like right now? As she thought about it, she hurriedly exited the ticket booking interface and checked the news instead. Simultaneously, she instructed her brother, “Qing, please help me check the news. Where did the plane accident occur? Has it been confirmed?”
Han Qing didn’t move; only his gaze lightly landed on her pale shoulder. There was a large bruise there; the skin was torn and blood oozed out. It stained her snow-white wedding gown and looked like cherry blossoms falling onto the snow-covered ground—blooming one-by-one.
She was… obviously injured, but she didn’t seem to feel the pain. He heaved a sigh and took out his phone to help her check the news in a resigned manner. When they arrived at the airport, the authorities had yet to announce the location of the plane accident. They waited anxiously in the car.
“Will the authorities announce the location of the plane accident?” If they refuse to announce it, then we—”
“Don’t panic. I’ve sent somebody to check it out. Perhaps Ye Moxuan wasn’t even on that plane. Don’t worry too much. I’ve ordered somebody to bring the medicine; we need to treat your wound.”
“If he wasn’t on that plane, he wouldn’t keep his phone turned off until now.” She lifted her head to look at him with eyes showing a sliver of hope. “Qing, can we calculate the location of the plane accident based on the time of the accident?”
Han Qing didn’t say anything. Pursing his lips, he sternly reminded her, “Treat your wounds first. Then, we’ll wait for news.”
She looked at him blankly and shook her head. “I can’t… Qing, I can’t wait for the news. I can’t wait any longer. I… may not be able to do anything, but… I really can’t just sit around and do nothing… Please help me. Can you help me, please?” As Han Muzi spoke, her eyes were red, her nose was itchy, and her heart was numb. But the tears that pooled in her eyes never fell.
The driver watched the scene unfold from his seat in front; his eyes reddened slightly as if he too could feel the despair in her heart.
Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 713
it was supposed to be a joyous occasion. Who could have thought that such a tragedy would occur? Listening to Han Muzi’s words, the driver felt his nose itch and he surreptitiously reached out to wipe the tears from the corner of his eyes.
Do happiness and misfortune come hand in hand? Life was fickle; if one did not cherish it in the past, then they would regret it deeply once they lost it.
“Please help me, Qing…” She repeated these words to Han Qing over and over again. Her weak and helpless voice sounded like the wailing of a small beast as it was dying.
Her pleas—like sharp blades slicing into his heart and agitating him—made his entire being miserable beyond belief. In the end, as if he couldn’t bear it any longer, he caught her wrists and said in a low voice, “Muzi, I understand… Please, calm down.”
“Then… does that mean you’ll help me with the calculations?”
He nodded. “Although the possibility is low… we’ll do our best. I’ll get somebody to handle this matter right now.”
“Okay!” She nodded vigorously, her beautiful eyes overflowing with rays of hope. Watching her like that pricked his guilty conscience.
In actuality, he’d rather not perform the calculations. After all, the calculated location might not be accurate and even if the calculated location was on point, it would only make her struggle harder. Unfortunately, she was his sister. As her brother, he couldn’t just watch her in pain and do nothing about it, could he?
After Han Qing had sent somebody to check the location, she seemed to calm down slightly—probably because she finally had an end goal. All she could do now was wait.
He glanced at her and found that she was curled up in the corner. Her small body as well as her pale face and lips made her look very frail—as if she would shatter from a slight touch. After watching for a while, he sighed in frustration, then took off his coat and covered her with it.
Sensing the movement, she lifted her head and looked at him blankly. “Did you receive any news?”
Not much time had passed since just now, but her expression seemed like she had waited for a century. It hurt him seeing her like that. He reached out his hand and tidied up her slightly messy hair while gently explaining, “How could it be that fast? I’ve just sent somebody over to handle this matter. Even the calculations would take a bit of time as there are all sorts of information to retrieve. So… in the meantime, I’ll bring you somewhere to treat your wounds, okay?”
She didn’t say a word, neither agreeing nor disagreeing with his request. Since they still had a long wait ahead of them, once he saw that she was not against it, he simply told the driver directly, “Find the nearest medical center. We’ll bring her there to treat her wounds.”
“Understood, President Han.”
He brought her to the nearest medical shop, bought the medicine, and treated her wounds. He then said, “Next time, if you ever meet the press again, you must stay away from them. They may not all be bad guys, but… accidents happen easily when there’s a large crowd. Do you understand?”
She didn’t respond to him, but asked, “Are the calculations done?”
He was speechless… He knew that she did not even bother with what he just said. This girl… It was a headache whenever her temper acted up.
“Not yet… Not much time has passed. When the calculations are done, they will contact us. Did you eat anything in the morning? Why don’t—”
“Qing,” Han Muzi called out suddenly. He stopped everything he was doing and looked at her. “What’s wrong?”
Her clear gaze watched him; her beautiful eyes filled with rays of hope were devoid of all other emotions. Looking at him, she murmured, “I don’t want to do anything right now. I just want to go to the airport and wait. I want to… search for him immediately.”
“Alright, I’ll send you to the airport now to wait.”
Therefore, he had the driver take them back to the airport. When they arrived at the airport, his phone started ringing. It was from Su Jiu. He glanced at the screen and answered, “Hello.”
“President Han, I found out everything. I’ve taken care of everything at the scene and dispersed everybody. Also… is Miss Muzi there beside you?”
Hearing that, he lowered his eyes and glanced at the spiritless Muzi, who was curled up in the corner, and nodded. “Yes.”
“The authorities have released the information. The plane accident occurred above XX. They found a survivor. According to the survivor, when the plane started having troubles, many of them were equipped with parachutes. However…” She paused momentarily. “Considering most of them were unfamiliar with the equipment… and the vast ocean was beneath them at the time… even with the parachutes, the chances of survival… are slim to none.”
Han Qing was quiet for a moment. “Send me the exact location, then book two flight tickets there. Muzi and I will head there immediately.”
Upon hearing that, Su Jiu was taken aback for a while before she could react. “That place is too remote, President Han. It might not be appropriate for you to go with Han Muzi. Let me find some people to accompany you.”
“Okay.” He nodded.
When Han Muzi heard his conversation, she leaned over toward him, waited for him to finish his call, and looked at him expectantly. “Did you receive any news?”
He nodded. “I’ve asked Su Jiu to book the flight tickets. We’ll be able to rush over soon.” He pursed his lips in silence after he finished his sentence. Even now, Su Jiu’s words still lingered in his mind. If the survival rate was so low… was it good or bad for him to bring Muzi there?
But there was no chance for him to worry about other matters. If she wanted to go, he had already promised her that he would bring her there. If anything should happen, they could only deal with it as it came.
Su Jiu was very efficient and the tickets were quickly prepared for them. Han Muzi, Han Qing, and Su Jiu, along with several other people that Su Jiu had found to accompany them, boarded the same plane and flew off to the accident site.
Usually, by this time, Han Muzi would have fallen asleep. However, today she had no intention of falling asleep. Even though her eyelids were already fighting to stay open, she still insisted on staying alert. Her eyes were very dry, and a whole day without food had made her stomach very uncomfortable.
A cup of warm water was handed to her at this moment. She lifted her head, glanced at Han Qing, and softly thanked him. Then, she accepted the cup of warm water and took a small sip before she asked, “The place we’re heading toward, is it the right place?”
“It’s accurate. It’s information released by the authorities.”
Han Muzi’s hand shook slightly when she heard his words. After a short pause, she asked in a small voice, “Then… did the authorities say anything else?”
To prevent her from worrying too much, he replied, “There was a survivor. According to the survivor, most of the passengers on the plane were equipped with parachutes. So, you don’t have to worry too much.” As for the fact that they were faced with a vast ocean beneath them, Han Qing naturally kept that to himself.
Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 714
Su Jiu, who was standing nearby, agreed when she heard what he said. “That’s right, Miss Muzi. A person as resourceful as Mr. Ye would land on his feet.”
However, these comforting words did not have much of an effect on Han Muzi.
“You haven’t eaten anything for a long time right, Miss Muzi? Your complexion isn’t looking too good. Drink some warm water to wet your throat first; we’ll have lunch in a bit.”
Han Muzi had no appetite whatsoever. Even drinking water made her chest uncomfortable. Right now, she felt like a huge bubble of air was stuck in her chest. Unable to go up or down, it was just stuck there; it was very painful. She pursed her pale lips without saying anything.
Su Jiu glanced at Han Qing and pondered for a while. Then, she said, “Even if you don’t feel like eating, you must think of your body, Miss Muzi. Think about it… if you fall sick because you won’t eat or drink… How would you search for Mr. Ye?”
This sentence resonated within her. She lifted her head suddenly to look at Su Jiu. She’s right. If I collapse from lack of food and drink, how will I search for Ye Moxuan? No, I can’t go on like this. I need to eat to replenish my strength, then search for him. She lowered her head and quietly drank her water.
Watching her, Han Qing’s anxiety was slightly relieved. It’s fine like this. Let’s keep up with this farce. As long as her body is fine, everything else can be done slowly.
As the distance was not too far apart, the plane took approximately three hours to reach its destination. As they were getting off the plane, Han Muzi nearly fell forward from exhaustion. Luckily, she was quickly helped by Su Jiu, who was standing nearby. Han Qing promptly stepped forward. “Your body isn’t feeling well. I’ll walk with you.”
She was still wearing her wedding dress, so she attracted the attention of many people along the way. She pulled the suit she was wearing tighter around her, took a few deep breaths, then shook her head. “No need. I was sitting for too long and felt a bit dizzy. Qing, Secretary Su, I’m fine. Don’t worry about me.” I still have to find Ye Moxuan. Before I find him, I definitely cannot collapse.
“You’re sure you’re okay?” Han Qing asked while looking at her.
She nodded weakly. “I’m fine.” She held up the train of her dress as she walked. As the wedding dress was tailor-made, the train was especially long. It was very inconvenient to walk in. When they reached a spot without many people, she simply squatted down and tied the train of her dress in a knot around her calf. Then, she held it and continued walking; it was much more convenient this way.
The airport was quite far away from the accident site, so they had to take a car after they got off the plane. The transfer took over an hour. By the time they arrived, it was nighttime.
As an accident had occurred here, it should have been sealed off. However, it just so happened that the place was relatively remote, so the authorities couldn’t be bothered to block it off. When Han Qing brought the others to the accident site, they found that many of the officials were still carrying out rescue operations in the dark. When the officials noticed them, one of them called out, “The rapid currents here are very strong. You all better not get too close!”
He saw Han Muzi in a wedding dress and thought that they were here to take wedding photos. After all, young people nowadays seemed to like going to the beaches to lie on the sand or the rocks when taking their wedding photos. However, these actions… were very dangerous.
Therefore, he continued, “Even if you want to take pictures, do it during the day. We are carrying out rescue operations here. Moreover, you shouldn’t choose such a dangerous location to take photos. If you fall in, you could lose your life.”
Hearing his kind warning, Han Muzi’s eyes couldn’t help but redden. Her white skin, coupled with the shock from this incident, had made her complexion pale to the point of transparency. So, it was very obvious when her eyes reddened.
The surrounding lights happened to shine on her face. Then, the official realized that despite her wedding dress, she was in quite a sorry state—her makeup and hair were a mess—and not at all like a bride about to be photographed. Noticing this, the official took a proper look at the people around her and found that there was no cameraman. Could it be that I’ve misunderstood?
Su Jiu, who was standing nearby, saw that Han Muzi’s eyes had turned red. She stepped forward to show her identification card while explaining, “Hello. We are not here to take wedding photos. Our friend was on the plane that was involved in the accident, so…”
She let her sentence trail off; the other party probably already understood her meaning. Sure enough, he was stunned and his eyes fell back on Han Muzi. No wonder she’s in such a sorry state. Seems like the accident happened during their wedding, and they had rushed over without even changing out of the wedding dress.
“Don’t panic.” Han Qing held her hand and said with a low voice, “He may not be here.”
Han Muzi bit her lower lip. Her tears pooled around her eyes that were as red as could be. “Can I… go over to have a look?”
The official looked at her appearance—eyes red and filled with tears. She had asked the question chokingly, as if there were endless sorrow and pain in her heart, and he could not bear to turn her down. He could only nod his head. “Alright, I’ll bring you around. Follow me, but only a few can come.”
Han Qing looked back and gave an order to Su Jiu. “The rest of you wait here.”
Su Jiu replied instantly, “Yes, President Han.”
Han Qing accompanied Han Muzi as they followed after the official. There were many policemen, rescue teams, and professionals at the scene. When they saw the official bringing along a lady in a wedding dress and a man in a suit, they began questioning in dissatisfaction. “What’s going on? Although the location has not been sealed off, this is still no place for ordinary bystanders to enter.”
The official went up and whispered into the ears of the person who had spoken up. He furrowed his brows and said, “Even if your loved one was involved in this accident, you can’t just waltz in here. This beach area is not safe. Even the rescue team have to be extra cautious, what more you guys.” His words were undoubtedly like needles piercing into Han Muzi’s heart. Her face paled even more and her slim body looked like it was about to collapse in the dim light.
“We’ve successfully found a few survivors and sent them to the nearest hospital. Perhaps… you can go there and have a look,” the person added. Seeing Han Muzi like this, he probably felt bad in the end.
To the nearest hospital? She looked at the man almost beggingly. “Excuse me, my husband is around 1.85 meters tall. He was rushing to the wedding venue, so he should be wearing a wedding suit.”
Han Muzi seemed to realize something as she spoke and hurriedly took out her phone to show him a picture.
Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 715
After seeing the photo, he was only surprised at first because the man in the photo had good-looking features and a cool aura. Although it was just a photo, the overbearing aura that this man gave off made it feel like the man himself was standing in front of him. More importantly, the man looked familiar to him. “T-This is…”
His unusual reaction made Han Muzi think he knew Ye Moxuan and recognized him among the survivors they found.
The middle-aged man standing beside him inadvertently glanced at the photo, his eyes widening subconsciously. “This man here… Isn’t this Young Master Ye?”
He knows him? Eyes filled with rays of hope, Han Muzi turned to face the man. The man who had just been talking to Han Muzi slapped his forehead suddenly as if he just realized something. “I was wondering why he looked so familiar. I only remembered when you called out his name just now. Isn’t this Young Master Ye?” Although he was excited at first, he soon realized the seriousness of this matter. As a result, his eyes and expression suddenly became heavy.
He raised his head to look at Han Muzi, his voice a little hoarse. “Lady, don’t tell me… Young Master Ye also boarded this plane?”
With just one sentence, the light in Han Muzi’s eyes went out in an instant. When she saw their expressions earlier, she thought Ye Moxuan had been found and that she would be able to see him. However, the two of them were now asking her if Ye Moxuan had boarded the plane.
How would she answer this? In any case, she hoped that Ye Moxuan had not gotten on this plane. Otherwise…
Han Muzi’s slim body swayed under the light, and she almost fell forward. Fortunately, Han Qing was there to help her up. Pursing his thin lips, he said coldly to her, “It seems that they haven’t found Ye Moxuan yet, but we can’t help much even if we stay here. It’d be better for us to find a place nearby to rest for a night while waiting for any updates.”
Han Muzi’s face appeared pale under the light as she bit her lip and shook her head vigorously. Tears gathered in her eyes, but she shed no tears as her eyes continued to redden. Biting her lower lip, she shook her head and said nothing. The way she acted, she looked very much like a wayward child.
Han Qing did not know what to say. There was nothing else he could do but sigh in his heart before glancing at the person opposite them.
The middle-aged man immediately reacted while glancing at the staff around him, looking as if they could not bear to say anything.
“Young Lady Ye, you don’t have to worry because as far as I know, Young Master Ye is a very smart man. We’ve managed to find plenty of survivors today, from the elderly to even young children. If even they could survive, what more Young Master Ye, who’s such a powerful person? Surely nothing has happened to him.”
“Indeed.”
Another person chimed in, “Young Master Ye is a capable person, so don’t worry. Go ahead and find a place to rest for the night. Maybe we’ll find him tomorrow.”
Standing there, Han Muzi did not say a word although her slender figure held amazing strength.
Conducting a search and rescue in this fierce sea was a very dangerous thing. Furthermore, it was late at night when nothing could be seen clearly. Even if the search was continued, there was still a chance that the person would not be found. If any danger or trouble arose, the search and rescue team would have their lives sacrificed. As such, the search and rescue team returned when it got deeper into the night. Of course, some survivors were brought back as well.
It was only natural that Han Muzi did not want to leave. Han Qing could not do anything, nor could he pry her away by force. He could only stay with her and let Su Jiu get some warm water for her to warm her stomach.
Probably knowing that she needed to preserve her energy, Han Muzi did not refuse any of the food that Han Qing had gotten people to bring to her. Whatever was brought in front of her, she would eat. It was just that everything she ate seemed to be tasteless. Her acting this way only made those who saw this scene feel more distressed.
When the search and rescue team came to shore, Han Muzi, who had been eating and drinking, suddenly dropped everything in her hands and rushed over while holding up her dress.
“Muzi, be careful!” As Han Muzi staggered forward, she almost tripped over her dress. Han Qing’s face turned pale from shock as he went over to help her up.
After the search and rescue team came ashore, the members saw a woman in a wedding dress with fair skin and delicate features. Although her expression was contorted and her makeup was messed up, she was so fair and radiant that she looked like a beacon of light that was glowing in the darkness.
“Excuse me, my husband was also on the plane. I’m trying to see if he’s here,” Han Muzi took the initiative to explain after rushing over.
The search and rescue team understood where she was coming from. One of them nodded and said, “If you want to find your husband, follow us to the hospital nearby. Some of these people have choked on water, while some are traumatized—they’re not in good condition. After the doctors outside are done with simple first-aiding, these people will be sent to the hospital.”
Since they had put it that way, Han Muzi naturally understood the situation. These survivors had just been rescued and were hovering on the brink of death at this moment. If she were to go up there to look for Ye Moxuan, she would only be delaying their time. As such, she could only nod. “Okay. I’ll go to the hospital.”
“Thank you for understanding.”
After taking a few steps back, Han Muzi turned around and followed Han Qing outside to where they waited. As it was very late, the officials found people to lock down the area before the search and rescue team left. No one was allowed to approach the area until dawn.
It was probably because of Han Muzi’s arrival that they realized that family members and relatives of those who were on the plane could be making their way here as well. To prevent accidents from happening, they blocked off the area.
After Han Muzi got into the car, the driver rushed to the nearby hospital while following the ambulance in front.
Her heart was hanging by a thread at this moment because she did not know if Ye Moxuan was in the vehicle in front. All the survivors needed to be treated, so she could not possibly be selfish and rush over to look for Ye Moxuan, as that would force the others to wait for her. People’s lives were at stake here.
Han Muzi was accompanied by Han Qing and the rest. The incident was reported in the local news, so the patients in the hospital who heard of it did not find it odd to see the relatives of the victims in the hospital—even if it was someone in a wedding dress like Han Muzi. They just felt a little sympathetic and sad when they saw the look in her eyes. After all, if it was unnecessary, who would come to the hospital in a wedding dress?
It was unknown how long Han Muzi had waited for, but her legs were numb from standing. Finally, there was news that the patients were allowed to be visited as their conditions finally stabilized.
Han Muzi feared she might be interrupting others and was embarrassed to search for Ye Moxuan ward by ward, so she took out photos and asked a nurse. Initially, there was a surprised look in the nurse’s eyes when she saw the photos of Ye Moxuan, but she immediately shook her head. “I don’t think any of the people that were just sent in look like him…”
Han Muzi’s expression changed slightly while Han Qing, who was beside her, stepped forward and reconfirmed it. “Nurse, can you try a little harder to recall? Anyone would look worse off after being in the sea for so long, so are you sure there’s no such person?”
Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 716
The nurse started to have some doubts after hearing from Han Qing. She pursed her lips, then studied the photos again for a while before whispering, “How about this? Since the patients are resting now, you can go in and try searching for a while. It’ll be fine as long as you’re careful with what you’re doing. What he said might be true as they’re all tired and might not look the same anymore. Who knows; maybe I just failed to recognize the man you’re looking for?” After saying that, the nurse took a glance at the photo again.
The man in the photo was good-looking; he had the kind of face that one would not forget after seeing once. The nurse believed that she would know for sure if he was among the survivors who had just been rescued.
However… The words from Han Qing made her feel uncertain. She should not make any hasty conclusions when family members were looking for their relatives.
“Thanks. Let’s go and look for him.” Stretching out his hand, Han Qing took Han Muzi’s mobile phone and put it away before gently pushing her shoulders. “Take your time. I’ll accompany you to go look around.”
With a pale face, Han Muzi nodded and said, “Okay, okay.”
When she said those words, a slight tremor could be heard. Han Qing promptly brought her close to his arms before they walked into the ward together. Due to the accident, the survivors were sent to the nearest hospital. This was the only hospital in the vicinity, and it was not very big. As such, the number of beds there was limited, and more had been added in the wards as well as along the corridors.
Han Qing brought along Han Muzi and they looked over the beds one by one but did not see any familiar figures. Not giving up, she continued searching without saying a word. When she did not see Ye Moxuan, she went back to look around again for fear that she might have missed him.
First round…
Second round…
Third round…
It was unknown how many times they had gone around, but Han Muzi was still looking for him. Not being able to help it anymore, Han Qing grabbed her thin white wrists and forced her to stop. “Stop looking. Ye Moxuan isn’t here.”
Han Muzi did not know what to say. She raised her head and her bewildered eyes fell on Han Qing’s face. “Qing, maybe we missed him? If he’s not here, where else could he be?”
Faced with this question, Han Qing could not come up with an answer at all. He could only earnestly hold her shoulders and parted his thin lips to say, “Silly sister, it’s already so late at night. The search and rescue team won’t resume their work till tomorrow. We’ve already gone around the hospital six to seven times, but we still haven’t seen any signs of Ye Moxuan.”
“Okay…” Nodding, Han Muzi continued to say, “We haven’t seen him, so maybe we missed him? Or… we could ask the nurse again?”
At the sight of her self-deception, Han Qing felt helpless. “Don’t be silly. All the survivors are here. If you can’t find him here, then that’s it. What you should do now is find a place to rest and when we wake up tomorrow, we’ll go with the search and rescue team to have a look.”
Unexpectedly, Han Muzi’s eyes and expression were very calm to the point that it was suspicious. Su Jiu, who was on the side, could not help but step out to say, “Yes, Miss Muzi, your health is important. Take care of yourself, so that you have enough strength to look for Mr. Ye.” She only said this because she hoped that Han Muzi would take care of her body and agree to go back to the hotel to rest. But how could the same trick be used twice? After hearing Su Jiu’s words, Han Muzi shook her head.
“I can’t sleep.” Then, she turned her head to look at Han Qing while grabbing his sleeve. “I want to go back there and take another look.”
Han Qing could not take it anymore. His voice turned cold and he said, “How long do you want to stay stubborn like this? It’s already dark, and it’s windy there. Didn’t you hear the police officers say that the waters there are turbulent and dangerous? Besides, even if you go there, what will you be able to do? Stay there? Stay there all night? Will Ye Moxuan come back if you do that?” Like a strict elder, his voice sounded deep and stern.
Su Jiu, who was watching from the side, was frightened as well.
It stood to reason that since Han Muzi was already in this state, she should be comforted. After all, she was the saddest one over this accident but had not shed a single tear nor broken down. On the contrary, she held herself strong and followed along with everyone.
Unexpectedly, President Han still said such harsh words to her at such a time. After thinking about it, Su Jiu quickly stepped forward and held Han Muzi’s arm before softly explaining, “Miss Muzi, your brother didn’t mean to reprimand you. It’s just that when we came to the hospital, the place was already sealed off. Even if we go back now, we won’t be able to access it. Since it’s like this, why don’t we go back to the hotel and call it a night? When we’ve rested and had our breakfast, we’ll go back to have another look around, okay?”
Standing by the side, Han Qing stared on with a cold expression on his face.
Lowering her eyes, Han Muzi said in a soft voice, “I know you’re both doing this for my sake, but… even if I go back to the hotel, I won’t be able to sleep. You both know that…”
“I know. We all know.” Holding onto Han Muzi’s shoulders, Su Jiu continued to coax her softly. “But you need to take care of your body. Think about it… Today’s weather was so cold, and you were running all over in a wedding dress. It must be very tiring. Besides, it’s already nightfall and it must be cold outside. If you still want to go running around at this hour, you might catch a cold and fall sick… What happens then? I’m not trying to nag you, Miss Muzi. It’s just that even if you want to continue on with the search, it’s better for you to go back to the hotel to get changed and get a hot shower first. Get some sleep—as long as you have to. When you’re feeling more energetic tomorrow, we can… try to get on a rescue boat and search around together?”
After hearing the last sentence, Han Muzi was touched. “Can we do that?”
After thinking for a moment, Su Jiu said, “I’ll try my best to talk to the respective party.”
Alas, Han Muzi nodded. “Okay then. I’ll head back to the hotel, shower, and rest.”
Seeing that she had finally accepted the compromise, Su Jiu finally smiled and said, “That’s good to hear, Miss Muzi. The car’s already waiting for us outside. Shall we go?”
“Okay.” Su Jiu helped Han Muzi to walk out while Han Qing was rooted to the spot for about three seconds before following suit.
The weather was cold, especially since it was after nightfall. The cold wind blew past their ears as they were walking out of the hospital, so they felt especially warm when they got into the car. After getting in, Han Muzi shrank into the seat in a corner while hugging herself, looking isolated and helpless.
After about ten minutes of driving, it started to rain outside.
“It’s raining…” Su Jiu murmured unconsciously while looking out the window. After speaking, she seemed to have thought of something and immediately stopped.
It’s raining… This is not a good thing. Subconsciously, Su Jiu glanced over at Han Muzi.
Sure enough, Han Muzi, who had been curled up motionlessly in the corner, suddenly sat up straight at the sound of the rain. “It’s raining.”
Looking out the window, Su Jiu comforted her and said, “It’s just light rain. This kind of rain… probably wouldn’t last for too long.”
Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 717
After she was finished speaking, Su Jiu took out her phone to check on the local weather forecast and realized that there would be a storm today. Looking at the situation, it seemed that the storm was not far away. The priority is to bring Miss Muzi back to the hotel and get her to sleep. With that, she will be asleep even if there is a storm. She has been running around the whole day, so she must be tired… Su Jiu had secretly formed a plan.
However, Han Muzi looked out at the rain as she started to worry. How could this be? What are the odds for us to encounter such rain? She was still worried even though it rained lightly.
When they arrived at the hotel, Han Muzi was a little reluctant to enter even after coming out of the car. She then looked back at the pouring drizzle. “Will this rain ever stop?” she muttered, not knowing who she was asking.
Su Jiu stood behind her as she watched the rain. “It will, Miss Muzi. The rain is gradually dying down. According to the trend, the rain will end soon after.” Han Muzi still stood there without moving, so Su Jiu came up and put her arm into hers. “Let’s go in first. The rain will definitely stop.”
Later on, both of them went into the hotel. After Han Muzi entered her room, Han Qing stopped following her. Even though they were siblings, man and woman still needed to respect each other, so he gave Su Jiu full authority to help him take good care of Han Muzi.
Su Jiu answered him readily and entered the room. Then, she filled the tub with warm water for Han Muzi and tested the temperature before helping her to take off the wedding dress. As she unzipped the dress, she said gently, “Miss Muzi, you can take a bath in the warm water later to soothe your body. I’ve already ordered someone to send some food up here. After you’re done with your bath, you can have some porridge to warm your body. Then, you can have a rest.”
Han Muzi stood there like a doll and allowed Su Jiu to take off the wedding dress for her. Su Jiu was nimble with her movements, so Han Muzi was left with her underclothes soon after. Then, Su Jiu said to her, “The rest I’ll leave it to you, Miss Muzi. I’ll be back after 20 minutes to remind you.” As soon as she was done, she went out of the room.
Han Muzi stood in the bathroom in daze as she kept on thinking about the rain until she felt a shiver and came back to her senses. She quickly took off the remaining clothes and went into the tub. The temperature of the water was just right as she immersed herself into the warm water. Her body finally relaxed after being on the go the whole day. Although her heart still hung by a thread, her stiff muscles received the chance to relax. She slowly leaned backward and submerged her body into the water.
Suddenly, she felt a cramp in her legs, and she was taken by surprise when she started to slide backward. The buoyancy of the water was so strong that she choked on the water after she reflexively reached out to hold the two sides of the tub and sat up, gasping for air.
Although it was just a little bath tub filled with water, the buoyancy of the water was enough to catch her by surprise when she was not paying attention. What if… this is the limitless sea? And also, the sea was surging with waves. If… Ye Moxuan really fell into it, can he… be saved?
Her mind could not stop thinking about it as she became more desperate. She could no longer take a bath anymore, so she stood up and casually put on her clothes without wiping the water droplets on her. Then, she opened the door and walked out the bathroom.
Outside the bathroom, Su Jiu made a call. “Yes, President Han. Miss Muzi is already taking her bath. Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of her. Erm… No problem. As for…” She had reported the situation about Han Muzi to Han Qing when the bathroom door suddenly opened. She turned and saw Han Muzi coming out with her clothes half-soaked with droplets of water all over her.
Her face changed. “Miss Muzi.”
On the other side, Han Qing frowned. “What is it?”
“I’ll talk to you later. Miss Muzi just came out of the bathroom.” After she was done, she immediately ended the call with Han Qing. Then, she put down her phone before walking over to Han Muzi to block her.
Han Muzi came out just after three minutes, which clearly meant that she did not properly take her bath—even if the clothes on her were half-soaked with water. “Miss Muzi, why did you come out so soon? Is the water temperature not suitable for you? And also, why didn’t you wipe yourself dry before—”
Before she finished her words, Han Muzi grabbed hold of her arm. “Bring me to the site.”
Su Jiu was left speechless.
“The buoyancy of the sea is so strong. What if he can’t hold on much longer? This is a long night. What if his only hope for survival rests at this night?”
“Miss Muzi…”
“Su Jiu, I don’t want to stay here much longer. I want to go out.”
“Miss Muzi, it is still raining outside. I really won’t advise you to go out. I think it’s better for you to listen to my advice and take a bath before resting.”
Han Muzi hated herself. She really hated herself. She hated herself for being so useless; she hated herself for not following him at that time. At least she would have been able to stay beside Ye Moxuan if anything happened to him. Both of them might have died together and it wouldn’t be like now where she had no idea of his location or whether he even survived. If not for this incident, Han Muzi would never have known that her love for him had reached a point where she was willing to die with him. Back then, splitting up was just splitting up. At least she would have known that his life was normal and he was alive while his life got better day after day. She might even have planned to see him from far away. But now… without him by her side, she felt that she was becoming crazy.
“Secretary Su.” Han Muzi’s voice was calm as she turned her pale face to look toward Su Jiu and asked, “Do you understand?”
Su Jiu was speechless. She wanted to say that she understood, but honestly, she couldn’t feel the same way as her. So, it did not matter in saying anything. She thought that Han Muzi would fight with her, but surprisingly, she turned and quietly went back into the bathroom.
She did not go into the tub; instead, she rinsed herself with warm water and found herself a new set of clean clothes to change into. She knew that if she kept on looking like this, Su Jiu would never let her out. Looks like I can only stay here for the night.
The night slowly turned dark. It was so dark that even the distant lights were unable to light up the surroundings of the hotel. There was no moonlight since the dark clouds had covered all of it. It was so dark that one would find it hard to even see his own fingers.
Boom! A bolt of lightning suddenly flashed through the dark sky and thunder soon came after. The once tapering rain had now turned into raindrops as big as a bean after piling up in the clouds for hours. It came crashing down to the ground one by one. And just like that, a storm had started. The storm ruthlessly accompanied the endless darkness before them. This night, to many people, was a night of despair and gloom.
The families of the survivors gradually came forward. Some rushed to the hospital after being contacted and were happy that the person, whom they came so far to see, was alive. While for some, they could not even see the figure that they wanted to.
In this night, that surging sea… was also washed up by the storm.
Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 718
Boom! The lightning almost tore the sky in half. The person who had been sleeping soundly on the bed suddenly removed her blanket and got up after hearing the thunder.
The lights in the room were switched off. One was able to vaguely see the figure getting down from the bed. Then, she tried to walk in the dark until she reached the side of the door. Following that, she tried to feel for the knob, and finally the door was opened.
The light from the hotel’s corridor suddenly lit up the dark room, and at the same time, it also brightened up Han Muzi’s delicate face, despite her not wearing any makeup. She took a few steps forward, but was blocked by two men in front of her.
Han Muzi felt surprised to see the two men as her pale lips twitched. “You…”
“It’s not safe out there. President Han ordered us to guard by your door to protect you.”
Protect me? Han Muzi could not help but quirk up the corners of her lips to show a mocking smile. “Are you protecting me or keeping a watch on me?”
Her words caused the two men to feel awkward as they looked at each other. Then, the braver one out of the two answered, “Miss Muzi, of course President Han’s intention is to protect you. That is why he placed us here to guard you.”
They kept watch on her, but at the same time, it was also a form of protection. With their eyes on her, they could have at least prevented her from going out. The storm raged outside with intensity, so if she ran out at this time, she would definitely hurt herself, but…
Han Muzi bit on her lower lip and sneered, “I don’t care what his intention is. Please move away now. I have to go out.”
The two men were left speechless. “We’re sorry, Miss Muzi. President Han has ordered us especially that you can only stay in your room to rest until dawn and you can’t go out.”
“What if I insisted on going out?”
“Have some sense, Miss Muzi. It is so dark outside and the storm is so big. Even if you managed to get out, you won’t be able to see your way.”
Han Muzi was left silent. The man’s sensible words caused her heart to sink right to the bottom. Is it that hard to walk outside?
“Move away!” Han Muzi suddenly gave the man in front of her a hard push. Then, she quickly ran down the corridor while they were left dumbfounded.
“Miss Muzi!” The two men came back to their senses and sprinted to stop her. “Miss Muzi, please don’t make it difficult for us. It really was President Han who ordered us to do this. It is now raining heavily outside. You won’t be able to walk far at this time.”
“That’s none of your business. Let me go!”
However, they had grabbed hold of her hands, so she could not move anymore. It frustrated her until it made her face turn pale and she stomped her foot on the man who held her. The man who was stepped on let out a scream of pain, but he held on to Han Muzi. As he held on to her, he turned over to his colleague and uttered, “Go inform President Han that Miss Muzi is awake.”
The man nodded and quickly disappeared.
Meanwhile, Han Muzi still struggled. “Let me go now. My brother ordered you to keep a watch on me, but he didn’t say that you can touch me, right? Then what are you doing holding my hand? Are you trying to molest me?”
The man was left speechless. Even if he had the guts, he would not have dared to molest her. Han Muzi was the precious little sister of Han Qing from the Han Group. Other than that, she was also the appointed young lady of the Ye Group. Although an accident happened at the wedding, her position would have remained the same if Ye Moxuan was found.
Seeing that his face loosened up, Han Muzi said again, “You still don’t want to let go?” The man was hesitant. “Someone is molesting me!” She did not expect him to be this determined, so she simply yelled that she was being molested. As expected, the man’s face changed the moment he heard her and he loosened his hands.
After she gained her freedom, Han Muzi immediately turned away and ran. The man’s senses returned before he gave chase.
Han Muzi ran at a fast speed. When she approached the elevator door, she saw that the door was on its way to close, so she squeezed past it right away without giving it a second thought. Bang! After she went in the elevator, the door closed.
The chasing man crazily pressed on the button, but it was useless already. As he saw the floor number slowly going down, he calmed himself down and took the stairs.
She guessed that he would definitely take the stairs in pursuit of her, so when the elevator reached the first floor, she dashed through the lobby of the hotel without hesitation. She cared less about others’ impression of her as she rushed into the storm outside.
The huge raindrops fell on her and it sent a shiver down her spine. It entered the winter season already, but this feeling… was similar to an extremely cold winter day. However, it failed to stop her from going forward. She only wanted to go to the beach and guard the place while waiting for him to come back.
Han Qing got the news and quickly came over. After he went down, he could only see one person and the other was gone. “Where is she?”
“I’m sorry, President Han. I was unable to stop Miss Muzi. She went in the elevator, but I didn’t see her after I rushed down.”
Su Jiu was awakened by the noise, so she hurried over with her hair in a mess, but her clothes were already tidied up. “What is it? Where is Miss Muzi?”
The man repeated the situation before Su Jiu’s eyes panicked as she looked toward Han Qing “You two, go check the surveillance video of the hotel, and you two, go ask about the whereabouts of Miss Muzi. The rest will go out to find her. Remember to bring your flashlights as it’s too dark outside.” Su Jiu’s actions were quick. After everyone was prepared with their umbrella and flashlights, they went out to find her.
The night was dark and the rain was heavy. As Han Muzi ran beside the road, she stuck her hand out when she saw a cab, but it ignored her. Maybe it’s because I look awful, so the driver is afraid that I can’t afford the fee. Or maybe, it’s because of the rainwater all over me, which might dampen the car seat. However, she refused to give up. She knew that the site was far away from here and walking there was not an option either, so she needed a ride from a car.
A car eventually approached her. She kept on waving her hand, hoping that the car would stop.
This time, the car actually stopped and the middle-aged man inside stuck his head out to have a look at her. “Do you want a ride?” He used his native language, but Han Muzi could not understand it. So, she used English to imply where she was headed to and asked him if he could send her there.
At first, she thought that the man might not understand, but surprisingly, he let out a smile and conversed with her by using English. Then, he affectionately let her in the car. If she was under the rain for a minute longer, she would definitely freeze to death.
Han Muzi nodded gratefully, but when she got in the car, she had dampened the seat of his car. She immediately apologized to him as she had nowhere to hide.
The man said that it was fine and that he was doing something good. Besides, the seat could be dealt with at another time. Han Muzi praised his fluency in English and he told her proudly that his son taught him the language. At the end, he came back to his senses and asked her, “What are you going to XX for? According to my knowledge, it isn’t a good place to go to.”
Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 719
His face was initially filled with delight. Since she had mentioned that area, he frowned and told Han Muzi, “That sea area is very dangerous. People like me around here don’t usually go there. Not only is the turbulence there strong, the shore is also extremely steep. If a person falls down into that water, even if he is a good swimmer, he may not be able to come up to land.”
Han Muzi was rendered speechless. She bit on her frozen lips while her trembling hands held on to her knees. She then murmured, “Mister, then… what would happen there after a storm? Would it be even more dangerous?”
The man nodded. “That’s for sure.” After that, he suddenly thought of something. “Why is a girl like you wandering out here in the middle of the night? And why do you want to go to that place?” He finally noticed as he looked into his rearview mirror and saw Han Muzi’s purplish face, which was devoid of any blood. He choked at the sight of her and said, “I don’t think you should be going near that area. Why don’t I send you to the nearest hotel? Look at you. I’m afraid you can’t hold on much longer freezing like that.”
Han Muzi shook her head and replied to him, “No, I insist on going there.”
The man remained silent. What was wrong with this lady? He then turned his head back to observe her and realized that there was something wrong with her. Putting aside where she headed to, she wore a set of pyjamas, as though she just ran out in the middle of the night. He gave it a thought and coughed softly. “Alright. The customer is always right. I will do my best to help you.”
“Thank you.” After she thanked him, Han Muzi lowered her head and could not help but close her eyes since she was really tired. She did not know if it was because of the rain or not, but her eyelids became heavier as her vision blurred. It felt like centuries that she had been in the car and it finally stopped.
As soon as it stopped, Han Muzi instinctively raised her head to look outside. Her vision was a bit blurred, but she could still see the bright lights in front of her. She opened her mouth and asked, “Mister, are we there now?”
The man in front of her paused for a moment and explained, “We’re not there yet. I’m passing by here to do some stuff. There is still another ten minutes or so until we reach the place you want to go. I’m going down to buy something now. You wait for a while.”
“A-Alright,” she stammered. After she saw the man going out of the car, Han Muzi scanned the scenery outside the car before she fell back on her knees again.
My head is so dizzy now. How is Ye Moxuan now? Is he suffering the same way as I am? If it’s possible, I really would like to die together with him. Sadly, she could not even know where he was.
As she lay on the seat, Han Muzi felt that she had waited for too long, so she got up again and glanced out the window. Surprisingly, the man stood not far away from the car while talking to someone. Standing in front of him were two men and it seemed as though they wore police uniforms.
The police? Han Muzi thought she had mistaken what she saw. After all, her vision was blurry at that time, but… it was not that bad. She rubbed her eyes, then she placed her palms against the glass window and had a good look.
With the rain between them, Han Muzi clearly saw what was before her. What she saw just was not an illusion. The driver actually conversed with two police officers, and behind them… She raised her head, and her face changed drastically. We’re at… the police station! The man had actually brought her to the police station. But why? It turned out that he did not get out of the car to buy some things, but…
As she thought about her looks now, Han Muzi panicked. If she was sent to the police station, then she would not be able to find Ye Moxuan. No, I can’t go in!
She surveyed her surroundings in a panic. The blurriness in her mind suddenly faded away all at once after the shock. She pushed her body back until her back bumped into the glass of the car door. Without giving it a second thought, Han Muzi immediately opened the door and her delicate body fell down the car.
Afterward, Han Muzi bolted toward another direction without even closing the car door. At the same time, the driver brought the two policemen over and all of them saw the scene just in time. Then, they hurriedly shouted at her, “Lady, don’t run!”
Listening to the man’s voice, Han Muzi’s heart panicked even more, so she ran faster while stepping on the rainwater in the streets.
“Don’t run!”
“Stop there!”
She could not figure out who screamed at her to stop. Han Muzi was already terrified, so she did not dare to stop and kept on running forward. As for how she planned to go to the sea area, she had no time to care about it since she needed to get out of here first.
The sound behind her got further and further until it was gone. Han Muzi was tired again. When she saw a place to hide from the rain, she ran over there and squatted at the corner. The night was dark. As she squatted there to hide from the rain, drops of cold rainwater rolled down her hair one by one. Then, it splashed on the clean floor.
The surrounding was quiet and only the sound of water could be heard. Han Muzi lowered her head and had a look at herself before letting out a bitter smile. It seemed like a long time since she was in such a sore state, however she could not even remember when the last time she was in a similar situation. She just could not believe that she was still wearing her wedding dress in the morning and now she had become like this. Ye Moxuan, where are you?
After a while of squatting, her body had stiffened to such a point where she could not even get up. Her vision started to blur while she felt her consciousness slowly leaving her body…
In the end, she lost all her senses.
“What did the doctor say?” As soon as Su Jiu came out of the ward, Han Qing asked her the question. She let out a sigh and shook her head. “Her situation is not good. Her emotions are unstable and she has been in the rain for a long time. Now, she is very weak. We don’t know when she will wake up.”
Han Qing pressed his lips tightly while his eyes darkened and he looked drained.
“And also, President Han, I have something to tell you,” Su Jiu suddenly told him.
He staggered as he squinted his eyes. “What is it?’
Su Jiu considered it for a while before slowly opening her mouth. “The doctor said that Miss Muzi is pregnant.”
The tall man stumbled and almost fell to the ground the next minute. Su Jiu’s expression immediately changed and she went up to support him. “President Han?”
Han Qing’s face was horrendous at this point. His lips were almost pressed into a straight line while there was no life in his eyes. During her years of service, this was the first time Su Jiu saw Han Qing with this kind of expression. She was very worried. “What is it?”
How could this be? Han Qing frowned. I could never expect her to be pregnant at this time… And now, Ye Moxuan is missing. What should I do now?
Nothing To Give But My Heart Chapter 720
Han Qing’s eyebrows were glued together for a whole night ever since Su Jiu told him about Han Muzi’s pregnancy. His lips were also pressed together at the same time. The aura that he had forbade anyone from coming near to him. The nurse, who came to check on Han Muzi, was terrified to see his face in this manner, but she needed to continue with her task, so afterward, she left as if she was escaping him.
Su Jiu was Han Qing’s secretary and she had been following him for many years, so naturally, she knew a bit of his temperament. At this moment, Ye Moxuan is missing and the wedding didn’t go on as planned, yet now, Miss Muzi is pregnant. If something really happened to Ye Moxuan and he can’t be found, then Han Muzi and her child would have a tough road ahead of them. Even though she never stopped believing that Ye Moxuan would be alright, life was still unpredictable and not everything would work out in the way that people hoped. Many things were at the mercy of natural disasters.
She suddenly rose to her full height and walked toward Han Qing after she thought for a while and sat next to him. “The doctor said that Miss Muzi’s body is still weak, but it’s all fine now. He said that it was fortunate for her and the child to be alive.”
Han Qing’s eyes rolled, but his lips were still pressed tight, so he did not acknowledge her words.
Su Jiu tried to probe him by saying, “President Han, actually, I feel that… the child came at the right time. At least… for Miss Muzi, it is a good thing.”
Han Qing, who had been motionless the whole time, finally raised his head after a whole night of silence. He locked his eyes on her and opened his thin lips. “A good thing?”
Su Jiu let out a sigh of relief. Looks like I’ve guessed his feelings right. If that’s the case, this will be easy to handle. With a soft voice, she continued, “Yes, President Han. I’ll just be honest with you. Now, we don’t know whether Young Master Ye is alive and Miss Muzi only wants to find him and die together with him. But you and I have been to that sea area before. Unless he didn’t fall into that sea area, otherwise… after last night’s storm, there’d be few who would survive. And tomorrow… will not be a sunny day. Can you understand what I mean, President Han?”
Han Qing pressed his lips for the umpteenth time while his eyes darkened. She is right. That sea area was already a dangerous place, and along with the ravages of the storm, how many people could have survived the night? I’m afraid when the rescue team heads out tomorrow, they will only be pulling up corpses. Everyone hopes for a miracle, and it is because of that they can keep on waiting. However… would it even be called a miracle if it occurs this easily? His heart sank as he remembered the contract and promises Ye Moxuan gave to him not long before the wedding. That man was really giving his all to love Muzi forever, but now…
“President Han, I don’t mean to make things seem so bad, but… I’m just analyzing the situation. If… something really happened to Young Master Ye, then Miss Muzi will not want to live anymore, am I right?”
Han Qing went quiet for a moment before answering her, “Yes.” According to her temperament in the past two days, even if she did not want to die, was her actions now not a form of chronic suicide?
“However, if she is pregnant, things will be a whole lot different… because there is another life inside her. Miss Muzi is a mother herself, so she has no other reason to be unreasonable and let the child die with her.”
Han Qing remained silent.
“President Han, that is why I believe that this is the right time for the child to come.”
Is that so? Han Qing twitched his lips. He had not been a parent before, so he could not understand the feelings of a parent. Su Jiu, on the other hand, was a mother herself, so she could relate with Han Muzi’s feelings. Maybe she is right. With this child, Muzi will have the hope to live.
“There is also a chance that Miss Muzi will take good care of herself because of the child.”
As soon as Han Muzi woke up, her nose was filled with the scent of disinfection liquid while her vision went blank. Her mind was muddled for a while before she realized that she was in a hospital. Before she thought of anything else, she immediately sat up on the bed, but her reaction was so intense that her mind spun until her vision went black. Then, her body fell back on the pillow.
Thud! The sound she made shocked Han Qing, who was guarding by her side. He had stayed by her side for more than ten hours, plus he did not have much sleep before, so he closed his eyes and rested while looking after her because he saw her sleeping quietly. He did not expect to hear a sound not long after he closed his eyes.
When he woke up, he happened to see Han Muzi falling back on the bed. Then, his face changed as he stretched out his hands to help her up. “Muzi, you’re awake? Are you feeling uncomfortable?”
Han Muzi just fell back on the pillow while stars started showing up in her eyes. As she gradually gained her vision back, she breathed heavily and spoke to him after a while, “Qing? Where is Ye Moxuan?”
Han Qing remained silent while his eyes darkened and he pressed his lips. “I’ll tell you after you sit up.” He then slowly helped her up and placed a pillow at her back. He said softly afterward, “Are you thirsty? Do you want me to bring a glass of water to you?” Despite his question, Han Qing got up straight after that and helped her to some water without waiting for her reply.
When he handed the warm water over to her, Han Muzi received it and took a small sip. Quickly, Han Qing asked her again, “Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere? The doctor said that I need to inform her when you wake up, so wait for a while.” Soon after, he swiftly got up and went out of the ward to order someone to inform the doctor.
Han Muzi remained silent as she took another sip of the water. Her head was no longer dizzy after sitting up, so she asked Han Qing when he came back, “Qing, what time is it?” She had a look out the window and realized that it was nighttime. Shouldn’t it be daytime now? She could not wrap her head around it because she felt that she had been asleep for a long time and it was quiet outside without any rain. That storm shouldn’t have ended this fast. Is it… the second night already?
Han Muzi’s expression changed drastically as she removed the blanket to get down from the bed, but before her toes could touch the icy floor, Han Qing had stopped her.
“Where are you going?” he asked with displeasure.
“Qing, has it been a day already? Where is Moxuan? Has the rescue team found him yet?”
Han Qing went quiet before answering her, “It has been a day already. As for Ye Moxuan… there isn’t any news.”
“What about the rescue team? Didn’t they search for him today? Why isn’t there any news?” Her face was pale and her body was so weak that she couldn’t hold on any longer. However, when Ye Moxuan’s name was mentioned, she looked alive—as though she was injected with chicken blood.
“Don’t you know that you are now very weak? Can’t you just think for yourself?”
