Outside the car window, the heavy rain battered loudly against the glass.
Every sound of rain seemed to hit Huo Sicheng’s heart. He couldn’t help but put his hand on his heart. It was palpitating.
His beautiful eyes were filled with undisguised worry. “Ah Qing, hurry up.”
“Yes, Young Master,” said Ah Qing, the driver, respectfully.
Mt. Dragon got its name because the surrounding mountains looked endless like a dragon. It had the best fengshui in Jiang City and also housed the cemetery where the rich and powerful buried their ancestors.
During the day, the scenery of Mt. Dragon was extremely beautiful and the best to enjoy, but at night, it looked particularly gloomy because of the lush forest.
The street lamps around them were dimly lit in the storm, giving Mt. Dragon a mysterious gloom.
The road leading to the cemetery was narrow, and the car could no longer get on. The moment Ah Qing opened the car door, the cold wind mixed with the rain blew, making him shiver.
He hurriedly got out of the car and opened the back door with an umbrella. “Young Master, please be careful.”
Huo Sicheng’s thin lips were tightly pressed together. He reached for his suit jacket and took the umbrella from Ah Qing.
“Wait here.” He went deeper into the cemetery.
It was raining heavily in the early summer night. The temperature in the mountains was especially low and it was freezing to the bone.
Huo Si sat in a wheelchair and entered the cemetery without any obstacles. Even though he had an umbrella in his hand, the rain still drenched his body.
But compared to being drenched, the thought of Gu Qingcheng wearing a thin dress made him even more worried. He gripped the umbrella so tightly that his knuckles turned white.
Finally, he saw a slender figure sitting in front of a grave. The faint light from the street lamps in the distance was enough for him to see the person’s face clearly.
Gu Qingcheng.
Gu Qingcheng sat in front of her mother, Mu Xia’s grave, in the pouring rain.
Her long black hair stuck to her face due to the rain, and the rain made her head buzz. Her body was drenched in the cold wind, and her lips were white from the cold. Her body was trembling slightly.
Even so, she had no intention of leaving.
She missed her mother.
She missed her mother very, very much.
If her mother was still alive, Chu He would not have married Gu Tianhao, she would not have been killed, and she would not have been alone.
Her hands trembled as she gently caressed her mother’s photo.
The heavy rain blurred her eyes, preventing her from seeing her mother’s portrait clearly.
However, the way her mother doted on her and smiled at her had long been engraved in her soul.
“Mommy…” She called out hoarsely, “I miss you so much.”
She really wanted to cry to vent all the grievances and anger in her heart.
However, she no longer cried. The long years had taught her to bear all the pain alone.
Huo Sicheng saw Gu Qingcheng’s fragile side from a short distance away, and his heart ached.
To him, Gu Qingcheng’s smile was enough to make him happy for many days.
However, he would be sad for many years if she cried once.
Although she didn’t cry, the softness she exuded made him sad and want to dote on her.
Many women would either cry when they encountered something or suffer the torture and pain of others. They had never thought of fighting for themselves or fighting against the injustice of fate.
In her words, a woman who lamented her misfortune and was angry at her for not fighting was the most useless and cowardly.
That was why she fought. Ever since her mother passed away, she had been fighting for everything that should have belonged to her. She also bravely resisted the unfair fate.
She was charming and unique like this.
Therefore, outsiders only saw her as the eldest daughter of the Gu family, the principal of Royal Dance, a dancer, the number one socialite in Jiang City, the number one beauty, and so many other glamorous appearances and titles.
However, only he understood her, knew her pride, knew that she was stubborn and strong enough to bear all the pain alone, and knew that she would never allow her to cry.
He knew, that even though she was not perfect, she was as strong as a burning flame, burning in this world, brilliant and burning people’s hearts.
“Qingcheng…” He called her name in a low voice and walked towards her with a longing that seemed to have been etched into his bones for several lifetimes.
Gu Qingcheng was already exhausted. The rain was making her dizzy, and the cold made her shiver even more.
The dizziness was getting stronger and stronger, causing her vision to turn black.
She was very tired. She wanted to close her eyes and fall asleep. She wanted to sleep beside her mother and accompany her. That way, she would not be lonely, and her mother would not be alone here.
Her body finally reached its limit. She leaned her head against her mother’s photo on the tombstone, closed her eyes, and called out longingly, “Mommy…”
When Huo Sicheng saw Gu Qingcheng lying in front of the tombstone, his heart skipped a beat. He rushed forward and held her in his arms.
Gu Qingcheng was as cold as ice in his arms. Her beautiful face was so pale that it seemed as if it would disappear at any moment.
“Qingcheng, don’t sleep, don’t sleep…” His voice trembled as he called Gu Qingcheng’s name.
In her daze, Gu Qingcheng heard someone call her name.
She wanted to open her eyes, but she couldn’t. She only felt that she was in a warm and secure embrace, making her yearn for it. It made her feel at ease, and she fell into a deep sleep.
Huo Sicheng would rather get wet himself and cover Gu Qingcheng with his clean jacket.
“Qingcheng, you can’t sleep. You’ll fall sick if you sleep like this.”
He called out Gu Qingcheng’s name loudly and patted her face lightly. She didn’t seem to be responsive.
Damn it.
He had to leave this place as soon as possible. She needed a warm place.
In the car, Huo Sicheng urged Ah Qing anxiously, “Turn up the temperature to the highest.”
It was the first time Ah Qing had seen Gu Qingcheng so weak. He was surprised to see her so weak. He quickly turned up the temperature and drove away from the cemetery.
Huo Sicheng’s thin lips parted slightly, and his voice was low and trembling with fear. “Qingcheng, wake up.”
No matter how Huo Sicheng tried to wake her up, Gu Qingcheng showed no signs of consciousness. She even had a high fever.
“Ah Qing, go to the nearest hospital, quick!” Huo Sicheng’s heart ached so much that he could hardly breathe. He comforted her gently, “Don’t be afraid. I’m here. You’ll be fine.”
The temperature in the car was warm and dry. Gu Qingcheng’s body alternated between hot and cold. Even when she was sleeping, her brows were furrowed and her face was full of pain.
Huo Sicheng had never imagined that Gu Qingcheng would be able to lie in his arms so quietly and meekly.
Although she was quietly in his arms now, he would rather she beat him up than see her unconscious in pain.
“Qingcheng…” He called her name over and over again, with his years of longing for her, just to wake her up.
In the nearest hospital, the doctors hurriedly received patients.
The doctor looked at Gu Qingcheng’s body temperature and announced nervously, “Patient with a high fever, 45 degrees. She’s in a coma. Her heartbeat will stop at any moment. Prepare for emergency treatment.”
Outside the emergency room, Huo Sicheng’s handsome face was pale. His usually dark and indifferent eyes were filled with panic. His hands were trembling, revealing the nervousness and worry in his heart.
Ah Qing had never seen Young Master Huo Sicheng so flustered before.
However, he understood. Whenever he was with Gu Qingcheng, his young master’s mind would always be a mess.
“Young Master, Madam will be fine.” He comforted Huo Sicheng.
“Ah Qing, I’m actually scared.” Huo Sicheng looked at the closed door of the emergency room. His hands were trembling and his teeth were chattering. “I’ve been watching from the sidelines, forcing myself not to be emotional. But you see, my body betrays me. My heart tells me that I’m in love, and I can’t control it.”
Ah Qing looked at Huo Sicheng with heartache.
Love was the most complicated word, but it was also the most beautiful existence in the world.
The young master’s love for Gu Qingcheng was passionate yet reserved.
Just as he was about to speak, the emergency room door suddenly opened.
“May I know who is the patient’s family member?” The nurse walked out.
“What’s wrong?” Ah Qing asked hurriedly.
At this moment, Huo Sicheng’s heart skipped a beat.
Family.
Yes.
He was already married to Gu Qingcheng, and he was her only family member other than her parents.
No matter how she had two or three partners, legally, she belonged to him alone.
His voice was low and trembling as he said, “I am.”
The nurse handed the form to Huo Sicheng. “The patient is in critical condition. Please sign this form.”
Huo Sicheng’s mind went blank for a moment.
Endless fear crawled all over his body, making him furious as he questioned the nurse, “What did you say?”
