Chapter 76

"Lin Wan Bai? "Hey …"

Huo Chang Yuan reached out and lightly patted her face but there was no reaction, only a slight tremble.

Deep creases appeared on her forehead. Originally, she only wanted to punish her, but she didn't expect her to be so afraid of heights.

No wonder she hadn't spoken a word when they arrived at the airport, her face full of nervousness after getting on the plane. It turned out that it wasn't just because she was nervous during her first flight, but also because she was afraid of heights.

Huo Chang Yuan's brows furrowed even more tightly, as if there was a small bump on his forehead.

"Lin Wan Bai, wake up!"

He called out twice more, but there was no sign of him opening his eyes.

Huo Chang Yuan carried her and left the ground with large strides.

When he returned to the hotel suite, the doctor he called just happened to arrive. It was an overseas Chinese with a Chinese accent, "Mr. Howe, this young lady only fainted because she was frightened."

On the way back from the parachute field, it had already been almost an hour, but she had been sleeping with her eyes closed the entire time.

"It's probably because of the cold. It's a bit of a low temperature." The doctor put down his stethoscope, "It's not that serious. Just take some ice cream and you'll be fine!"

Last night, he had wanted her many times.

In the end, he even picked her up from the bed and pushed her through the curtains to the French windows. Beside her was the hanging air conditioner …

Huo Chang Yuan coughed awkwardly, and ordered Jiang Fang to send them out.

He called for the guest room service to bring over an ice bag, wrapped it in a towel and placed it on Lin Wan Bai's forehead.

The unconscious Lin Wan Bai seemed to struggle a little.

Huo Chang Yuan scolded: "Don't move!"

It was as if she was still intimidating the unconscious her, and she immediately became docile.

From the moment Huo Chang Yuan entered the suite until now, his clothes had not changed. He tugged at the collar of his shirt, wanting to turn around and take off his jacket, then throw it on the sofa when his hands were suddenly grabbed.

"Mom …"

Lin Wan Bai's eyelashes fluttered slightly as her dry lips moved slightly.

Huo Chang Yuan bent over and sat on the side of the bed, then held her hand and patted it as if he was comforting him.

Jiang Fang who had just returned from sending the doctor off also listened quietly for a few seconds. Suddenly, he said, "Hutong, Miss Lin also seems to be calling you by name!"

After Huo Chang Yuan heard this, he slowly raised his eyebrows.

The resolute face could not help but lean closer, its ears close to her mouth.

It was as if she had heard her surname, and a string in her heart had been plucked. She held her breath for a while, and finally, when she opened her mouth again, her voice was soft and hoarse.

"Huo Chang Yuan, you bastard …"

Huo Chang Yuan's face immediately changed like a remote control.

Jiang Fang immediately waved his hand to indicate: "Cough! I didn't hear anything! "

"Oh my god, someone is jumping off a building!"

"It looks like a woman!"

Beneath the Inpatient Department's building, more and more people gathered. They all raised their heads and looked at the woman dressed in the disease suit on the top floor. It seemed that in the blink of an eye, she would jump down from above.

The little Lin Wan Bai squeezed through the crowd and dropped the doughnut in her hand.

She shouted with her mouth wide open, her voice drowned out by the clamor of the crowd. She wanted to stop her mother, but to no avail. She could only watch as her mother fell heavily from the top floor like a blooming flower.

"Mom, don't …"

Lin Wan Bai suddenly opened his eyes.

There was a short moment of absent-mindedness before they gathered together again. It was only after a long time that they realized that they were on the plane.

The light shield on the window was lowered. It seemed to be night. The cabin was very quiet. There were no more flight attendants moving around.

Lin Wan Bai subconsciously moved, and discovered that he was wrapped up by a thick palm.

Following the center of his palm was the watch on his wrist, followed by his sturdy and powerful forearm, then his protruding Adam's apple, and his sharp chin. His pair of deep eyes were closed, as if he was sleeping.

Seated on the other side of the aisle, Jiang Fang looked at her with a smile.

Lin Wan Bai was a little confused, "This is..."

Lin Wan Bai only let out an "oh".

She pulled back her hand, but did not do so. She could only close her eyes again.

After exiting the airport, Jiang Fang did not follow them. He only handed Huo Chang Yuan the keys to the car as the white Land Rover stopped by the side of the road.

"Horseshoe Lotus …" Lin Wan Bai didn't even think about replying.

He frowned slightly, not understanding his intention. Seeing that he had no intention to speak, he could only shut his mouth.

The Land Rover was speeding across the airport, driving in reverse. Maybe because it had a low fever, or maybe because it had just left, or because it had been on the plane for more than ten hours, Lin Wan Bai was very tired. Under the sunset, he could not help but close his eyes and take a nap.

When she opened her eyes, she found that it was not the bustling downtown area she had expected to see.

It was a cemetery in the suburbs, and there was a bunch of horseshoes on the back seat. She had no idea when he had stopped to buy them.

Huo Chang Yuan had already pulled out the car key, "Where's the tombstone?"

"…" Lin Wan Bai frowned.

Huo Chang Yuan extended his arm towards the back and picked up the white horse hoof lotus, his deep and serene eyes slanted at the side, "It's not that you kept on calling me mother while you were sleeping, you're already here, aren't you going to go and take a look?"

After walking on a considerably long mountain path, Lin Wan Bai would occasionally bite his lips and look back.

Almost every time, she came to visit her mother alone. Other than the horseshoe lotus in her arms, she had never brought a man here.

Not even Yan Feng.

Lin Wan Bai walked in front of the tombstone and took the set of white horseshoe lotus from her hand, placing it beside his mother's tombstone.

With one more person standing behind her, she was at a loss.

After around 10 minutes, Lin Wan Bai turned and expressed, "You can go back now …"

"Yes." Huo Chang Yuan nodded.

Just as he was about to leave, he turned around and glanced at the young woman on the gravestone.

Huo Chang Yuan didn't start the engine immediately. Instead, he rested one hand on the window and the other on the steering wheel, his protruding throat rolling up and down as he tried to speak with a rare look of wanting to say something, but he stopped himself.

"Before you jumped up high, I didn't know you were afraid of heights."

The corner of Huo Chang Yuan's mouth slowly tensed up, his voice had a trace of awkwardness, "It won't happen again!"

Lin Wan Bai looked at the outline of his resolute face and curled fingers on his knee.

Was this considered apologizing to her?

But, why is it that even apologies are so tyrannical …
