She didn’t know how long it had been, but she could vaguely hear the sound of hurried footsteps behind her.
Shi Yao instinctively turned her head to look, and she saw Lin Jiage walking toward her with hurried footsteps under the moonlight.
It was only when Lin Jiage stopped right in front of Shi Yao that Shi Yao blinked her eyes blankly and stared at him for a long time before standing up in disbelief, “You…”
Shi Yao only said one word before Lin jiage, who had been searching for her for a while, spoke up first, “Why are you still outside so late at night?”
As he spoke, he took off his jacket and draped it over Shi Yao’s body, “The temperature at night is so low that you might catch a cold…”
Shi Yao’s words were stuck in her throat by Lin Jiage’s words and actions, and she couldn’t utter a single word anymore. Following which, an unspeakable sense of gratitude washed over her.
The reason why he didn’t call her after she hung up on him was because he knew where she was and had personally rushed over to look for her? But this was the suburbs… it had only been half an hour since they ended the call. So, he had been speeding the entire time?
After buttoning Shi Yao’s jacket one by one.., only then did Lin Jiage look into Shi Yao’s eyes and ask, “Right, you said on the phone that your father is in the hospital? is his condition serious? How is he now? Do you want me to arrange for a better hospital in the city to transfer him to another hospital?”
Hearing Lin Jiage’s questions one after another, Shi Yao’s throat felt even more congested, and her eyes felt even more sore.
She opened her mouth, but no words came out.
Looking at her current state, Lin Jiage thought that she was worried about her father, thus, he glanced at the hospital block next to him and said, “Forget it, I’ll go check on the situation myself. If It’s serious, I can arrange for your father to be transferred to another hospital tonight…”
Without any hesitation, Shi Yao reached out and tugged on Lin Jiage’s sleeve, attempting to stop him from visiting his father at the hospital block.
Lin Jiage didn’t understand Shi Yao’s intentions, he turned to look at her and said, “You don’t have to worry too much. Do you remember the Doctor Who Treated Grandpa back then? He has four doctorates in the medical field, and he’s an incredible doctor. As long as it’s not a global problem, he’ll be able to solve it…”
“No, I’m not worried about dad…”
Lin jiage turned around and replied with a confused “Hm?”.
For a moment, Shi Yao didn’t know how to explain herself to Lin Jiage. She stared into Lin Jiage’s eyes for a moment before saying, “Don’t go up there.”
“What’s Wrong?”Lin Jiage’s eyebrows furrowed slightly.
“In any case, you just don’t want to go up there…”Shi Yao also felt that her words were unreasonable, but other than those words, she really couldn’t think of any other words.
Lin jiage stared at Shi Yao for a moment before recalling the words Leng Nuan had said to him on the phone back then.
Could it be that she had some sort of conflict with her parents because he had broken off the engagement with her?
But even so, Lin Jiage didn’t continue questioning Shi Yao, “Alright, I Won’t go up. But Can you come back to the car with me? It’s really too cold here. If you stay here any longer, you’ll really get sick…”
This time, Shi Yao didn’t reject him. Instead, she nodded her head lightly.
Lin jiage lowered his head to take a look at the small hand that was grabbing onto his sleeve. He didn’t shake her off, nor did he ask her to let go of him. Just like that, he allowed her to grab onto him as they walked to the side of his car.
