He ran towards the hospital not far ahead, his figure as swift as the wind.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Duan Yujing comforted Li Yan as he ran.
Her voice was gentle yet firm, like the warm spring sun slowly seeping into Li Yan's heart, giving her strength.
His eyes were full of concern. In his eyes, Li Yan was like the most precious treasure in the world, someone he needed to protect with all his heart.
Li Yan was still not recovered in Duan Yujing's arms.
Her eyes were empty and lifeless, like stars that had lost their light.
Her body trembled incessantly, like a leaf swaying in the wind. Fear and unease gripped her heart, as if she had fallen into a dark abyss from which she could not escape.
After taking Li Yan to the hospital, Duan Yujing stayed by her side.
"It's alright, Li Yan, don't be afraid, it's all over now. I'll stay here with you." He kept comforting her, his voice as soft as a falling feather.
Duan Yujing gently held Li Yan's hand, trying to convey his warmth and strength to her.
Meanwhile, in the towering office building, Gu Tingyan was busy at his company.
The office was filled with a tense atmosphere, with piles of documents.
Suddenly, his phone rang, the crisp ringtone sounding particularly jarring in the quiet space.
When he saw that the call was from the hospital, a sense of foreboding welled up in his heart, as if a dark cloud was hanging over his mind.
"Hello, what's up?" Gu Tingyan's voice was filled with tension and unease, like a taut string that could snap at any moment.
"Mr. Gu, your mother, Ms. Li Yan, has been in a car accident and is currently in the hospital." The voice on the other end of the phone made Gu Tingyan's heart sink instantly.
Without saying a word, Gu Tingyan dropped his work and flew to the hospital to find Li Yan.
When Gu Tingyan arrived at the hospital, he saw Duan Yujing standing by Li Yan's side.
A complex mix of emotions welled up within him, a mixture of gratitude and a hint of resentment.
Gu Tingyan's dissatisfaction burned faintly in his heart like a weak flame.
"What's going on?" Gu Tingyan walked up to Duan Yujing and asked in a questioning tone.
Duan Yujing sighed inwardly as he looked at Gu Tingyan's anxious expression.
He briefly recounted what had happened, then stood silently to the side, like a quiet bystander.
After hearing this, Gu Tingyan was filled with self-reproach.
He walked to Li Yan's bedside, and looking at her pale face, he felt a sharp pain in his heart, as if he had been cut by a sharp knife.
"Li Yan, it's all my fault. I didn't take good care of you," Gu Tingyan said, his eyes glistening with tears.
Li Yan had recovered and felt a little sorry for Gu Tingyan when she saw his expression.
She slightly raised her hand and gently stroked Gu Tingyan's face.
"Ah Yan, it's not your fault, it was my own carelessness." Li Yan's voice was gentle but weak.
Gu Tingyan held Li Yan's hand tightly, afraid of losing her again.
Duan Yujing, who was standing nearby, felt a pang of jealousy as he watched this scene unfold.
The Gu brothers received special treatment from Li Yan, but when it came to himself, there was a polite distance that Duan Yujing didn't like.
But he also knew that he should remain rational at this time and not let his emotions affect Li Yan's recovery.
But the jealousy, like a faint sour taste, spread through my heart.
Gu Tingyan noticed Duan Yujing and looked at him coldly.
Duan Yujing lowered his eyes, made an excuse, and prepared to leave: "Since you're here, I'll be leaving now. I have some things to take care of at the company."
