She opened the car door to put the little one in the back seat, then quickly returned to the driver’s seat.
Gan Tang sat up straight and looked outside the car window. She noticed a figure rushing over from the hospital entrance and immediately exclaimed in alarm.
Gan Yuan looked up from the driver’s seat and indeed saw a man running from the hospital’s main gate, bearing a striking resemblance to Huangfu Jue, his suit already drenched by the rain.
Recognizing it was Huangfu Jue, she slammed on the brakes.
The little one frowned, "But..."
Her voice became sharp.
He sighed and reluctantly bent down.
Gan Yuan turned off the fog lights and gripped the steering wheel tightly with both hands.
"Gan Yuan... Xiaotang..."
At the gate, Huangfu Jue called out their names as he sprinted into the center of the hospital square, then he stopped and looked around with furrowed brows.
Seeing him, Huangfu Qi immediately ran over.
Huangfu Jue didn’t pay him any attention, only slowly surveying the entire square with a frown.
The water in the cup was still hot. It was clear that the little one had just been there. In such a short time, with a child in tow, she couldn’t have gone too far...
In the heavy rain, visibility was dim, all the lights of the hospital building were on, and in the yard, vehicles came and went.
"I know you’re here!" he stood in the rain, shouting loudly, "Gan Yuan, I’m telling you, don’t even think about getting away ..."
The helicopter flew in and landed at the entrance of the hospital, its lights cutting through the rain and mist, illuminating Huangfu Jue.
The man stood in the pouring rain; his entire suit was soaked, short hair sticking to his forehead, his entire body dripping with water.
The assistant jumped out of the helicopter, rushing over with an umbrella, trying to shield Huangfu Jue from the rain, but was stopped by Huangfu Qi reaching out with the palm of his hand a short distance away.
"Do you think this will make me give up?" Huangfu Jue said with a furrowed brow, his gaze piercing as he watched the hospital building in front of him, "I’m telling you, don’t even think about it!"
Gan Yuan pursed her lips tightly, gripping the steering wheel.
In the back seat, Gan Tang started to straighten up little by little, peeking out through the car window.
Watching Huangfu Jue standing in the rain, completely drenched, he pursed his lips lightly then soon knitted his brows again.
"Get back down," Gan Yuan commanded in a low voice.
"With the rain so heavy, Daddy will catch a cold."
Gan Yuan remained silent, gripping the steering wheel.
"He’s sure to get a fever..." the little one continued.
Gan Yuan stayed quiet.
"Maybe, he’ll even get pneumonia..." the little one sniffled, "Mommy, Daddy won’t die, will he?"
"Shut up!" she shouted angrily, "This is a hospital. He can’t die here!"
"Didn’t you say last time that someone got lung cancer from getting caught in the rain?"
Gan Yuan suddenly turned her face, glaring at him with a pair of red eyes.
"If I get out of the car, that’s when he might actually die!"
The little one was startled by her expression, frozen for a good while before he raised a small hand and gently wiped away the droplets on her face.
"Mommy, why are you crying?"
"I’m not!" Gan Yuan sat up straight again and quickly wiped her face with her hand, "It’s just rainwater."
Thunder cracked in the sky, lightning illuminating the whole world, and rain poured down like a waterfall.
"Sir!" Will finally couldn’t stand by any longer, rushed over and grabbed Huangfu Jue’s arm, "You should talk about this inside. It’s raining so hard."
After such a downpour, how could his body take it?
"Get lost!" Huangfu Jue shook off his arm aggressively, "I know you’re watching, yes, I want to force you out. I want to see how long you can endure!"
