Chapter 396: I am here…
The sky was growing darker, a thunderbolt crossed the sky, and a light rain began to fall.
Qin Youxuan carefully skirted around the area marked as deserted and entered the main road, lifting her head to look ahead.
A straight path led to the end where she could faintly see the flat helipad.
The steward mentioned the hospital was right there.
With a loud noise, a dazzling lightning streaked across the sky, illuminating her pallid face.
Her clothes were already wet, sticking tightly to her body. Qin Youxuan pulled her bath towel tighter around herself.
She wiped her drenched face with her hand, but her vision quickly blurred again under the rain.
Qin Youxuan looked at the hospital within arm’s reach, then raised her head to see the increasingly heavy rain…
At this moment, she must not continue to waste time, Hanjie was bound to have noticed her disappearance.
Would he think she was trying to escape…
Qin Youxuan paused in her tracks, turning to look at the way she had come.
She was plunged into struggle.
To continue forward or to return.
If she turned back now, it would amount to all efforts going in vain, and it would probably be more difficult to get out next time…
Qin Youxuan covered her belly with her hand, clenching her teeth tightly.
If she really was pregnant…
“It’s yours, I would love it.”
Hanjie’s deep enticing voice suddenly echoed in her ear, causing Qin Youxuan’s body to stiffen as she quickly turned around.
The road behind her was washed clean by the heavy rain, without a single sign of human presence.
What was wrong with her? Why could she hear his voice?
Qin Youxuan immediately squatted on the ground.
The rain was becoming heavier, and there seemed to be the sound of a helicopter flying in from the distance. The giant propeller roared in rhythm with the thunder, forming a unique symphony in the sky.
A powerful searchlight illuminated the darkness, gradually approaching her location…
Qin Youxuan instantly stood up and started running back.
After a few steps, a strange noise caught her attention. It seemed like large stones were sliding on the coarse ground…
Qin Youxuan’s nerves stiffened as she subconsciously turned her head. On a nearby slope, a pile of loose stones started to roll downwards with the rain flow, gathering mud along its way…
Flowing directly towards her location.
Qin Youxuan didn’t react in time, but she threw herself onto a large stone nearby, clinging onto it with all her strength.
The stone was higher than the mudslide. While thanking her lucky stars for her close escape, she found herself stuck on the stone.
Surrounded by the rapidly spreading mudslide, even a slight misstep would carry her into the sea below the cliff…
“There’s someone here, don’t leave!”
Qin Youxuan looked up at the helicopter about to turn away and screamed as loudly as she could.
Her petite figure on the large rock looked like it had melted into it…
“The road ahead is blocked due to a mudslide, no signs of people detected. Harsh thunderstorm conditions intensifying. Requesting permission to return,” a voice through the loudspeaker on the helicopter rang out.
Even though Qin Youxuan screamed with all her might, her feeble voice was drowned by the thunder. She could only watch helplessly as the helicopter received permission to retreat, swiftly departing from above her.
The sky once again plunged into darkness.
The mudslide beside her was getting worse and the large stone she was on started to become unstable…
