Shen Yi’s gaze shifted slightly as he said to Ye Wanwan, "There’s a temple halfway up the mountain, if possible, we’ll take refuge in the temple tonight."
The rainstorm today came too suddenly, none of them had expected it would be this heavy, let alone that the bridge could be overwhelmed in such a short period of time.
As for the landslide, Shen Yi hadn’t told Ye Wanwan that the spot they had just passed had already collapsed not long ago.
Now the bridge ahead was flooded, making it impossible for vehicles to pass, and due to the landslide, the path behind was already inaccessible.
Ye Wanwan, hearing that Shen Yi had a plan, managed to hold back her tears despite her worry.
It wasn’t time for Shen Yi to comfort her here; he should hurry to the temple instead.
"Then you guys should hurry over, and send me a message once you’re safe," Ye Wanwan said quickly, her eyes reddening.
Shen Yi nodded and, looking at the person with reddened eyes on the video, felt a surge of distress, "I’m sorry I promised to come home for dinner, but now I can’t make it back, and I’ve made you worry so much."
"Stop talking!" Ye Wanwan’s voice cracked, and she couldn’t help but want to cry again. What was the point of thinking about such trivial things at a time !
"Alright, let’s leave it at that for now, I’ll call you when we get to the temple," Shen Yi said, glancing at the people braving the heavy rain as they walked back outside the car window.
"Be careful, and make sure to call me when you get to the temple!" Ye Wanwan urged again.
The video call ended, and Ye Wanwan went back to sitting on the sofa, feeling completely drained in body and spirit.
The butler had come over while Ye Wanwan was on the phone, but didn’t come forward to disturb her. Now that the call was over, he hurriedly approached and asked, "Madam, what’s happened?"
Ye Wanwan’s head ached and her heart was filled with irritation; she didn’t want to say anything and simply shook her head with a frown.
Seeing her reaction, the butler didn’t continue to probe.
Suddenly, there was a movement in her stomach, and Ye Wanwan was taken aback, the frown on her face not yet easing.
Then there was another movement. Ye Wanwan felt both joy and worry, unable to clearly define her emotions at the moment.
After all, she had memories from her past life, and she remembered some things.
That was the baby moving just now!
It should have been a joyful event, but the accident with Shen Yi kept her from feeling happy.
Ye Wanwan placed her hand on her lower abdomen, gently caressing it, "Zhouzhou, don’t worry, Mommy is just too worried about Daddy."
Zhouzhou seemed to have heard Ye Wanwan’s words and moved again, prompting Ye Wanwan to force a very strained smile.
Meanwhile, Shen Yi was braving the torrential rain outside at that very moment. There was an umbrella in the trunk, but with the wind and rain being so fierce, it was of little use and instead a hindrance.
"Don’t bother with the umbrella, let’s move quickly!" Shen Yi ordered in a stern voice, gesturing for Assistant Chen to discard the umbrella.
Assistant Chen also felt the umbrella was unnecessary and immediately threw it away.
A sharp scream rang out, followed by the heart-wrenching cry of a child, and Shen Yi instinctively turned to look back.
He saw a couple behind them, each holding a child around six or seven years old, but the mother and child had fallen together to the ground.
The father quickly stopped, put down the child he was holding, and went to help the mother up.
"Mr. Shen." Assistant Chen called out from the side.
