‘You and the baby are safe,’ Gu Jiao Wu said

Qiao Tan Yuan’s face whitened, she held Gu Jiao Wu’s hand tight It was strange, he didn’t push her hand away She leaned her body on his chest, he could feel her whole body shaking and her sweaty forehead He wrapped an arm around her shoulder and looked at her panicked eyes

‘Cal will happen,’ Gu Jiao Wu said

‘I… I’m tired,’ Qiao Tan Yuan said She wasn’t tired, but in pain The painto do…’

Qiao Tan Yuan’s body began to slump She held a hand onto Gu Jiao Wu’s shi+rt, but her body slowly slipped down

Gu Jiao Wu saw Qiao Tan Yuan falling onto the ground He caught her before she fell He helped her sit down next to him and propped her head on his shoulder

‘Is this better?’ Gu Jiao Wu asked

Qiao Tan Yuan couldn’t believe Gu Jiao Wu was holding her close to hi onto to her

Gu Jiao Wu was relieved Qiao Tan Yuan nodded her head He wanted the e wet on his body He looked down, it was a puddle of water and… blood between her legs He was frightened and his eyes widened He looked at her drained face, her hands held onto his neck and she looked like she was in excruciating pain

‘Qiao Tan Yuan, are you OK?’ Gu Jiao Wu asked

Qiao Tan Yuan wanted to shake her head, but she felt another painful contraction and dug her nails into Gu Jiao Wu’s neck But he couldn’t register any pain He listened carefully for footsteps and was relieved to hear footsteps

‘Wait a little longer,’ Gu Jiao Wu said ‘People are here to rescue us’

‘My baby…’ Qiao Tan Yuan said weakly ‘Gu Jiao Wu, I’ you to saveGu Jiao Wu to save their baby

‘Endure a littlefast too He was frustrated the eency workers didn’t open the elevator doors faster He could hear anxious voices outside He hugged Qiao Tan Yuan Her usual arrogant self wasn’t visible, all he could see was a weak and helpless woht about how lately when he saw Qiao Tan Yuan, she looked like she changed into a different person Was it a hallucination? Or didn’t he see her properly in the past? In his confused state, he didn’t hear what she said clearly until he felt her hands slip down from his neck

‘Gu Jiao Wu,’ Qiao Tan Yuan called ‘Promise me, you’ll save my baby’

‘I promise,’ Gu Jiao Wu said

Qiao Tan Yuan felt reassured and her body slumped down his chest

Gu Jiao Wu panicked and held onto Qiao Tan Yuan’s shoulders ‘Qiao Tan Yuan? Qiao Tan Yuan…’

The elevator doors opened slightly and soap

‘Is everyone OK in there?’ a paranant woman in labour,’ Gu Jiao Wu said ‘Quickly, take her to the hospital’

Gu Jiao Wu didn’t care about what the e to rescue him and Qiao Tan Yuan He only cared about Qiao Tan Yuan’s weakened condition, but he appeared calm

‘Gu Jiao Wu, don’t leave…’ Qiao Tan Yuan mumbled

Qiao Tan Yuan couldn’t open her eyes, but she felt the moment she lost the war she dreamt of, she didn’t want to lose his warmth so soon and held onto his hand

Tears flowed out of Qiao Tan Yuan’s closed eyes and her whole body was in pain She re birth was a level ten pain But she thought giving birth wasn’t as painful as her broken heart Why didn’t Gu Jiao Wu bother to glance at her once? They were divorced and she wasn’t his wife anymore But they were nificant in his eyes?
