AWB Chapter 157 Embrace
Chapter 157 Embrace
This day seemed ordinary yet was full of drama. Lin Xingran's emotions were like a surging sea, with violent ups and downs. His inner world was like a violent storm. In the end, due to excessive excitement, his vision suddenly went black and he fainted.
In the silent VIP ward, the smell of disinfectant is so strong that it seems to turn into a physical curtain, tightly wrapping the entire space. The pungent smell makes people feel depressed and uneasy.
Qiao Qin and Huo Yan stood side by side on one side of the bed. Their figures seemed somewhat lonely and helpless in this slightly cold ward.
Both of them were silent, but their eyes were fixed on the frail figure on the hospital bed.
Lin Xingran's face was as pale as the first snow in winter, without a trace of blood, and even her originally pink lips looked dry and pale.
There was a circle of faint dark blue around her tightly closed eyes, as if telling of the fear and exhaustion she had experienced. Although her breathing gradually became smoother, her bulging belly was like a small hill, which was particularly eye-catching.
At this moment, there is less than a month left until the due date. This should have been a countdown full of anticipation and joy, but due to a sudden kidnapping incident, everything has fallen into a huge crisis and chaos.
Fortunately, rescue arrived in time like a ray of light breaking through the darkness, and Lin Xingran was quickly sent to the hospital for fetal preservation treatment.
Until the doctor in a white coat slowly turned around, his face was serious and solemn, and his eyes revealed a trace of fatigue and relief. He said in a deep voice: "The patient is no longer in danger, but I suggest that she stay in the hospital for the time being and not be discharged until the delivery is over."
When Qiao Qin heard this, her heart finally settled down.
At that moment, she seemed to hear the sound of a taut string breaking deep in her heart, and all her strength seemed to be drained away from her at once.
She nodded repeatedly, as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw, and the heavy stone in her heart that was almost suffocating her finally fell to the ground. In any case, no one was injured in this accident, which was a blessing in disguise.
After the doctor left, the ward fell into deathly silence again.
A hint of darkness flashed across Huo Yan's deep eyes, and the emotions in his eyes were so complex that they were difficult to fathom.
His bottomless eyes stared at Qiao Qin without blinking, and his scorching gaze was like a burning flame, hot and focused, as if he wanted to engrave Qiao Qin's figure deeply in his heart.
Qiao Qin was keenly aware of the strange look. She subconsciously touched her cheek, her eyes full of confusion.
She narrowed her eyes slightly and asked softly, "What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"
Qiao Qin's voice was soft and pleasant, like a breeze blowing across the strings of a musical instrument.
Huo Yan shook his head slightly, his Adam's apple rolled up and down, but his eyes were still fixed on Qiao Qin, without the slightest deviation.
His voice was hoarse and low, as if carrying endless vicissitudes and deep affection: "I just want to see you."
Perhaps it was this kidnapping incident that made him feel the fear of losing the person in front of him. The despair and helplessness of that moment were like a cold poisonous snake, constantly gnawing at his heart. Until now, the lingering fear still lingers in his heart and cannot be shaken off.
How Huo Yan wanted to hold Qiao Qin tightly in his arms, hug her tightly, and let her completely integrate into his flesh and blood, as if only such a real and down-to-earth touch could calm the anxiety and fear in his heart that was like a storm.
However, he was afraid that his overly intense emotions would scare the person in front of him, so he could only resist the impulse in his heart, clench his fists, and try to control his emotions.
"Puchi." Qiao Qin couldn't help but chuckle. Her laughter was as clear as a silver bell, breaking the depressing atmosphere.
She had never seen Huo Yan like this before. His silly look made her look a little silly, yet inexplicably made people feel pity for him.
The two stood face to face, their eyes locked, as if time had stopped at this moment. The air around them seemed to become exceptionally quiet, with only the sound of each other's breathing and heartbeats clearly audible.
It has been a long time since they have had such a harmonious atmosphere, as if time has stopped for them. Perhaps it was this life-and-death experience that made them grow up a lot in an instant, understand the fragility and preciousness of life, and understand the importance of each other in their hearts.
"Um...does what you said before still count?" Huo Yan hesitated for a long time before finally speaking slowly. His voice was hoarse but contained a hint of cautious expectation, like a child who was afraid of being rejected.
Qiao Qin raised her eyebrows slightly and pretended to be confused and asked, "What are you talking about?" There was a hint of cunning in her eyes, but the corners of her mouth rose unconsciously, revealing an imperceptible smile.
Huo Yan's eyes flashed with anxiety, his brows knitted tightly, and he quickly said: "You said that if you come back safely, all the things that happened in the past will be written off."
His eyes were fixed on Qiao Qin, and his focused gaze seemed to engrave every bit of her expression into his heart, not wanting to miss any of her subtle changes.
Silence spread in the air, and time seemed to freeze. The atmosphere in the ward became extremely heavy, and every passing second seemed so long.
Just as Huo Yan lowered his head in disappointment, the light in his eyes gradually extinguished, thinking that it was still not working, Qiao Qin spoke. Her voice was crisp and firm, like a stream breaking the ice in spring: "Let's get to know each other again. My name is Qiao Qin."
Huo Yan was stunned for a moment. The huge surprise was like a surging tide, instantly drowning him and sweeping over his whole body. His heartbeat accelerated sharply, as if it was about to burst out of his chest. His voice trembled unconsciously because he was too excited: "I... I am Huo Yan."
He slowly stretched out his hand, his slender fingers trembling slightly, and gently touched the soft little hand. His fingertips gently brushed across the back of her hand, and at that moment, both of them couldn't help but shudder slightly, as if an electric current was running through each other's bodies.
The atmosphere around them suddenly became somewhat ambiguous, as if countless pink bubbles were floating in the air. The warm sunlight shone through the window onto them, reflecting the two intertwined figures.
However, at this moment, an urgent phone call broke the silence.
"Hello? Yeah, I get it." Huo Yan frowned slightly, and his originally relaxed face instantly became solemn again. A trace of helplessness and reluctance flashed in his eyes, and after a moment, he hung up the phone.
Qiao Qin asked with concern, "What's wrong?" There was a hint of worry in her voice, and her eyes were fixed on Huo Yan.
