She knew that her sister-in-law’s life had been dragged back from the jaws of death. Before her brother returned, nothing must happen to her!
Otherwise, her brother would definitely be heartbroken when he returned.
After recollecting her emotions, Shi Nuannuan reached out, turned the doorknob, and pushed the door open.
Zuo Weiyi and Gu Yansheng looked towards the door.
Zuo Weiyi smiled. “Nuannuan.”
Shi Nuannuan paused for a moment before putting on a smile and walking over to sit down on the sofa. “Sister-in-Law, what do you think?”
Shi Nuannuan was able to conceal her emotions behind her eyes well. Zuo Weiyi did not suspect a thing.
She smiled. “I’m fine. Shenghao said that the pain in my wound will be alleviated in two days.”
Nuannuan could tell that the wound on her stomach was clearly hurting just from how weak and pale her face looked, but her sister-in-law still showed perseverance, trying to assure the others that she is fine. But her efforts only made Nuannuan sadder, challenging her ability to continue holding back her tears.
A sour feeling surged into her eyes, making her nose ache.
Zhong Shenghao’s words echoed in her head, reminding her to keep her emotions in check. In an instant, she converted her sadness into another smile.
“By the way, when I was sending Mommy back, my brother called.”
Nuannuan’s words made Zuo Weiyi’s heart throb as she looked at Nuannuan anxiously.
“My brother planned to come back last night, but the president of another country had arrived. The president wanted to understand some of the ancient history and culture of C Country, so he went to a relatively ancient and remote mountain area. Who knew that the moment he arrived there, a mountain road suddenly collapsed. Upon hearing that the president was injured, my brother had to get off the plane and rush there.”
Despite Nuannuan’s story, Zuo Weiyi’s heart was still hanging in the air
“Then is he alright?” asked she anxiously.
Shi Nuannuan paused as she looked at Zuo Weiyi.
She knew that her sister-in-law was asking if her brother had encountered another mountain road collapse when he rushed there, but the contents of the news suddenly flashed through her mind unconsciously, ‘Yesterday morning, the private jet of the president of C Country, Shi Yuting, was attacked by terrorists and crashed…’
Shi Nuannuan’s heart skipped a beat. However, when she looked at Zuo Weiyi, Shi Nuannuan forced herself to calm down.
She smiled and shook her head. “Brother is fine. However, I heard that the president is injured and is undergoing emergency treatment. Brother will have to wait until the president wakes up before he can come back.”
She had already discussed with her mother at home. She had also told her grandfather and Zuo Yi about the cover-up so that she would not give herself away when her sister-in-law asked about it.
Shi Nuannuan continued, “Also, that place is in a remote mountain area and there is often no signal on the phone, so it’s very difficult to get through. Brother said… that you should take good care of your body and he’ll come back when he’s done with everything.”
Hearing Nuannuan’s words, Zuo Weiyi’s uneasy heart finally settled down.
Zuo Weiyi’s face finally revealed a smile. “Does he know about Mo Mo and Lian Lian’s existence?”
She wondered how Shi Yuting would feel if he knew about the two little babies.
Shi Nuannuan was stunned. The palm on her lap unconsciously tightened, and her heart was filled with sadness.
However, she still nodded and tried to hold back the tears in her eyes. “Yes, I told my brother about the twins. Mo Mo came out a minute earlier. He was very excited and looked forward to coming back to see the two little babies as soon as possible.”
