However, Jin Jumo’s phone couldn’t get through.
And at noon ca the explosive news of Jin Jumo’s death in a "car accident."
Upon hearing the news, Jian Liangtong turned pale, clenching her fists tightly, and fainted.
Huo Shaojun, terrified, sent Jian Liangtong to the hospital imdiately.
Hospital VIP ward.
Worry and anxiety flooded Huo Shaojun’s cold eyes as he tightly pursed his lips, watching the pale and sleeping Jian Liangtong on the clean hospital bed.
The doctor stood at the foot of the bed, ticulously explaining Jian Liangtong’s current physical condition to Huo Shaojun, "Although Miss Jian has passed the initial three-month danger period, she is very weak, compounded by pregnancy symptoms and severe emotional trauma that have greatly depleted her body. The adult and child are safe for now, but Miss Jian really cannot handle any more stress; otherwise, not only the child but also the mother might be in danger."
The temples on Huo Shaojun’s head throbbed with blood vessels, and after a while, he opened his mouth hoarsely, "I understand."
The doctor sighed and left the ward.
Huo Shaojun stood by the bedside, his eyes fixed on Jian Liangtong, pupils tightening occasionally, as if fearing she might suddenly vanish before his eyes.
He stood there motionless like a stake, for a long, long ti.
Jian Liangtong awoke close to eleven at night.
Upon waking, Huo Shaojun was still standing by the bed watching her.
Jian Liangtong’s almond eyes shone exceptionally bright in the pristine white room.
She looked at Huo Shaojun, her frost-white lips moved slightly, as if saying sothing, but Huo Shaojun didn’t hear clearly.
Huo Shaojun stared deeply at her, slowly bending down, bringing his ear to her lips.
"Ju Zi..."
Huo Shaojun’s eyes trembled, slowly turning to look at her.
Moisture welled up in Jian Liangtong’s eyes, looking at him expectantly, her voice hoarse beyond recognition, "It’s not true, is it?"
Scanning her continuously trembling shoulders, the doctor’s words rang thunderously in Huo Shaojun’s ears.
Huo Shaojun’s heart suddenly stopped, reaching out stiff hands to grip Jian Liangtong’s shoulders, breathing deeply, "Listen to , Tongtong. I know you’re in pain and grief right now. But for our child, please calm down."
Jian Liangtong shook her head, tears streaming wildly.
At this mont, she couldn’t hear his words at all.
Her mind was filled with the news of Jin Jumo’s death in a car accident.
She refused to believe, couldn’t believe it!
She had just seen her yesterday; how could she be gone today...
"No." Jian Liangtong broke down in tears, "I don’t believe it! I don’t believe it! Ah... It’s impossible, it’s impossible..."
She was almost seven months pregnant, soon the child would be born.
Two of them...
"It can’t be. How is that possible? You’re lying to , you must be lying to , ah..." Every cell in Jian Liangtong’s body was filled with intense sorrow and pain.
Her best friend, her beloved Big White... Impossible!
How could her Big White leave her and go to another world?
She didn’t want to believe it! This wasn’t true!
"No!" Jian Liangtong cried out in agony, her emotions reaching their peak, beyond what her body could bear, and fainted once again.
Huo Shaojun’s icy eyes turned red, and the mont Jian Liangtong fainted, he held her tightly in his arms.
Jian Liangtong’s body felt soft in his embrace, as if it could lt away and disappear at any mont, while Huo Shaojun’s arms holding her also trembled slightly.
Hearing that Jian Liangtong had fainted again, the doctor hurried over for another examination.
After the examination, the doctor looked solemnly at Huo Shaojun, "Mr. Huo, Miss Jian’s situation is very unfavorable, the fetal breath is weakening, if the adult doesn’t adjust her emotions promptly, even Hua Tuo couldn’t save the child."
"Is there any dicine that can improve her mood?" Huo Shaojun closed his eyes, staring at the doctor.
The doctor was startled by this question, then twitched his eyes, "Mr. Huo, do you think I was joking with you just now?"
What dicine in the world cures unhappiness?
At least he hadn’t discovered any in his lifeti!
Huo Shaojun’s brows furrowed deeply, his face taut like cold marble without any lines, "I’m not joking."
"..." The doctor’s brow bone raised slightly, lifting his eyes to look at him.
Seeing his serious expression, his eyes seed to be shrouded in gloomy layers, indeed not a joking deanor.
The doctor pursed his lips, sighed, "Mr. Huo, Miss Jian’s condition appears to stem from a heartache. Heartache requires a new cure. Find the source causing Miss Jian’s unhappiness, then resolve it, and unlock Miss Jian’s ntal barrier, her mood will naturally improve."
ntal barrier?
Huo Shaojun clenched his fist, gazing at the lifeless Jian Liangtong on the bed.
Her ntal barrier no longer existed in this "world," how could he unlock it?
Jian Liangtong, asleep around eleven, when she awoke again it was already four in the morning.
As soon as she opened her eyes, Huo Shaojun imdiately grasped her hand, "Tongtong."
Perhaps overwheld by grief, plus just waking up, Jian Liangtong’s expression appeared a bit wooden, her gaze towards Huo Shaojun was empty without focus.
Huo Shaojun placed her hand on his face, "I’m here."
"..." Jian Liangtong’s eyes trembled slightly, deep within her pupils slowly welled up crystalline tears, she opened her pale, chapped lips, "Little brother."
Her voice carried a thick sob, hoarse and trembling.
Huo Shaojun’s heart sharply tightened, gazing at her with slightly moist cold eyes, he kissed the back of her hand, "I’m here."
"Uh..." Jian Liangtong’s eyes suddenly turned red, softly crying out.
Huo Shaojun’s eyes were red as he leaned in, his thin lips brushing against her swollen eyes, "Tongtong, please be good, okay?"
Jian Liangtong stretched out a frail arm, wrapping it around his neck, sobbing uncontrollably by his ear.
Huo Shaojun kept kissing her ear and hair, "If she were here, she definitely wouldn’t want to see you so sad and upset over her."
Jian Liangtong shook her head, "I don’t believe it, I really don’t believe it."
"Be good." Huo Shaojun gently caressed her hair, "Once you get better, big brother will accompany you to see her."
"I don’t want to!" Jian Liangtong choked out.
She is still alive, she must still be alive!
How could she die so easily, leave her so easily!
She absolutely doesn’t believe it!
Huo Shaojun felt a heavy weight in his heart, his large hand tightly holding her head from behind, his voice stern, "Tongtong, your body is very weak now. If you continue like this, we might lose our child."
"..." Jian Liangtong’s tear-filled eyes trembled with shock, as tears fell even faster from their brims.
Huo Shaojun placed her hand on her rounded belly, "He’s still here now, you can feel him. But if you keep being so sad, there may co a day when you can’t feel him at all."
Jian Liangtong’s pale face suddenly darkened, her arms around Huo Shaojun’s neck trembling violently.
Huo Shaojun felt an overwhelming heartache, his lips heavily pressed against her ear, his eyes slightly red, "So, Tongtong, for the sake of our child, stay strong, okay?"
Jian Liangtong, "..." Tears flowed like a flood.
With her wet lashes tightly closed in strands, Jian Liangtong only felt a pain in her heart so harsh she could barely breathe.
Jian Liangtong recuperated in the hospital for a week before being discharged.
In the car returning to the villa, Huo Shaojun and Jian Liangtong sat in the back seat, Guan Yu driving.
From the mont she got in the car, Jian Liangtong hadn’t spoken, staring blankly outside the window the whole way.
Huo Shaojun furrowed his brows, watching Jian Liangtong’s thin profile from the side.
"Big brother, I want to go back to school." Jian Liangtong suddenly said.
Huo Shaojun’s eyes narrowed slightly, "I’ll go with you."
Jian Liangtong shifted her gaze from the window to Huo Shaojun’s face, "Okay."
Guan Yu looked at Huo Shaojun and Jian Liangtong through the rearview mirror, silently turning the steering wheel towards G University.
The girls’ dormitory at G University, the dormitory where Jin Jumo used to live.
Jian Liangtong sat on a stool beneath Jin Jumo’s bed, lost in thought.
The dormitory was empty, and the wind blowing from the balcony was very cold.
Jian Liangtong’s mind was filled with mories of her interactions with Jin Jumo over the past ten years.
Recalling their first eting as children, they got along very well.
Jin Jumo was a little older than her and always gave way to her.
She seed cold and distant, but in reality, her heart was very soft.
She rembered everything she said, what food she liked, what kind of clothes she wore. Often, when she said the first half of a sentence, she could guess what the second half would be.
They almost never quarreled.
Whenever there was an argunt, her cleverness always managed to steer it away, preventing them from really fighting.
She really considered herself as an older sister.
She indulged her, always thinking of her when there was sothing tasty.
For so many years.
She laughed with her, cried with her, shared her triumphs, and comforted her in disappointnt.
She knew her better than anyone else.
Jian Liangtong always thought of Jin Jumo as her left hand, and herself as the right hand.
They were destined to be lifelong good friends, good sisters!
But now, they’re only twenty, and haven’t even lived half their lives.
She’s only twenty.
After going through so much hardship, in the end...
This sudden and complete departure of Jin Jumo, how could Jian Liangtong bear to part with it.
Whenever she thought of her, she hurt all over!
Her eyes were red to the utmost, yet there were no tears left.
Jian Liangtong sat from morning until afternoon.
Upon leaving the dormitory, Jian Liangtong only took with her the large white stuffed toy hanging on Jin Jumo’s bed.
With the toy pressed close to her heart, even though her heart felt like it was being cruelly torn to pieces, Jian Liangtong left the dormitory and, until she reached the corner of the stairs, she did not look back once.
Upon exiting through the west gate of the school, Jian Liangtong imdiately saw Huo Shaojun, wearing sunglasses, being surrounded by a group of college students in front of the car.
Her brows twitched slightly, and Jian Liangtong quickly sped up her pace towards him.
Huo Shaojun also noticed Jian Liangtong coming out from the inside at the first opportunity, pushing aside the reporters in the inner circle blocking him, while the fans in the outer circle excitedly scread and voluntarily made way for him.
Huo Shaojun strode towards Jian Liangtong, with the flashbulbs clicking behind him, he seed unaffected.
"Big brother..."
Jian Liangtong barely got out the surprised words before she was dramatically swooped up in Huo Shaojun’s arms.
