Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Tang Weiwei’s face instantly turned pale.
“An’an is staying in the hospital. How could he be missing? Could he have gone to the other children’s wards to play?”
During this period of time, An’an was very popular and often went to play with children.
“I’ve been looking everywhere, but I can’t find him.”
“I-I’ll come over right now …” Tang Weiwei’s voice trembled as she finished speaking and immediately hung up the phone.
After that, she decided to rush to the hospital regardless of the consequences.
“Wait…” Zhan Xiaoting stopped her.
“I have something important to do at the hospital. I don’t want to argue with you. Go away…” Tang Weiwei’s eyes were red as she shouted anxiously.
Zhan Xiaoting had also heard her conversation with the nurse just now and knew that An’an had gone missing.
Seeing her reddened eyes, his heart suddenly ached.
He didn’t take it to heart, thinking that he was just feeling sad that An’an was missing.
“Change your clothes first and tidy yourself up…” Looking at the ambiguous red mark on her neck, Zhan Xiaoting reminded her in a deep voice.
Only then did Tang Weiwei realize that she was disheveled.
“Right, I’m going to change my clothes!” She immediately nodded and changed her clothes as quickly as possible.
After changing into fresh clothes, she immediately called for a taxi.
However, this was a wealthy district, and there was no way to get a taxi. She was so anxious that tears kept welling up in her eyes.
“Come, I’ll drive you!” Zhan Xiaoting said as he walked over with his car keys.
This sentence was like heavenly music to Tang Weiwei’s ears.
“Thank you, thank you…” The tears in her eyes fell uncontrollably.
Zhan Xiaoting handed her a handkerchief to wipe her tears. Then, he drove as fast as he could to the hospital.
Tang Weiwei immediately went to the director of the hospital and asked, “How could An’an have gone missing?”
“We just checked the surveillance footage. Two men wearing caps and whose faces couldn’t be seen clearly took An’an away forcefully after knocking him out.”
‘The men’s faces couldn’t be seen clearly? Didn’t that mean they couldn’t tell who had taken An’an away?’
Realizing this, Tang Weiwei felt even worse.
She forced herself to calm down and asked, “Have you called the police?”
The hospital director nodded.
“What did the police say?” Tang Weiwei asked hopefully, as if she had grabbed onto a life-saving straw.
“The police told us to wait for any updates!”
Tang Weiwei suddenly felt a little desperate when she heard this.
She was extremely upset.
Boom—
At this moment, a thunderclap suddenly sounded in the sky, followed by a heavy downpour.
Tang Weiwei seemed to have suddenly woken up and immediately walked out.
Zhan Xiaoting grabbed her arm and asked, “Where are you going?”
“I’m going out to look for An’an.”
Tears streamed down Tang Weiwei’s face as she said, “An’an is very timid. He’ll be afraid when he goes to unfamiliar places. He’s not in good health. Once he catches a cold and has a fever, he’ll be injured and bleed. It’ll kill him. I have to go find him.”
As she spoke, she was about to break free from Zhan Xiaoting’s grip.
In Zhan Xiaoting’s impression, Tang Weiwei had always been stubborn, cunning, and hypocritical.
He had never known that she had such a fragile, helpless, and heartbreaking side.
He couldn’t help but pull Tang Weiwei into his arms and comfort her.
“I know you’re very worried about An’an. Before An’an is found, we have to be strong and take good care of ourselves. I promise you that I’ll definitely find An’an and won’t let anything happen to him.”
Tang Weiwei could not remain calm. She wanted to say something else, but her vision suddenly darkened and she lost consciousness.
Zhan Xiaoting’s expression changed. He immediately carried her to the doctor.
After the doctor examined her, he said, “She’s fine. She just couldn’t take the shock, so she had a high fever. I’ll suppress her fever first. When she wakes up, she’ll take some medicine. When the fever subsides, she’ll be fine.”
Only then did Zhan Xiaoting’s expression ease up a little.
He stayed by Tang Weiwei’s side, whose face was burning red. He made a phone call and sent all his men out to find An’an.
As long as An’an was still in A City, he would definitely be able to find him.
Tang Weiwei remained unconscious for an entire day and night. Her fever kept on coming and going.
Because of her high fever, her lips were dry and chapped. Zhan Xiaoting brought over a glass of water, dipped a cotton swab in it, and wiped her lips to replenish the moisture.
He had just put the cup down when…
“An’an, An’an…” Tang Weiwei called An’an’s name with a pained expression. Her tears wet the pillow.
Zhan Xiaoting knew that she was having a nightmare.
“Tang Weiwei, wake up, wake up…” He immediately patted her face to wake her up.
“An’an, don’t…”
Tang Weiwei cried out in fear. She opened her eyes and sat up from the bed. Her head was covered in cold sweat as she panted heavily.
“It’s alright, it’s alright!” Zhan Xiaoting took a handkerchief and wiped the cold sweat off her head as he comforted her.
Tang Weiwei hugged Zhan Xiaoting tightly, trying to ease the fear in her heart.
She said with a trembling voice, “I just dreamed that something happened to An’an. He kept calling for me. He kept saying ‘Mom, save me. Mom, save me.’ I wanted to save him, but I couldn’t grab his hand.”
When Zhan Xiaoting heard this, he immediately consoled her. “Dreams are always the opposite of reality. An’an will be fine.”
Tang Weiwei didn’t say anything and just silently cried.
After crying for a while, she slowly regained some rationality.
Looking at Zhan Xiaoting, who was guarding her and taking care of her, she hurriedly said sincerely, “Master Zhan, thank you.”
Zhan Xiaoting checked the temperature of her forehead. She was still having a fever.
“Take your medicine first.” He took out the medicine that the doctor had prescribed for her, washed it with boiling water, and handed it to her.
Tang Weiwei shook her head and said, “I don’t want it.”
“How can you refuse to take your medicine?” Zhan Xiaoting frowned and asked.
Tang Weiwei hugged her curled-up legs and remained silent.
Seeing that she was not cooperating, Zhan Xiaoting felt helpless and said, “Since you’re not cooperating, don’t blame me for being rude!”
With that, he picked up the cup and drank the medicine in one gulp.
Then, he pinched her cheeks and pressed his lips against hers. The medicine in his mouth entered her mouth bit by bit.
“Oh, let go…” Tang Weiwei struggled to push Zhan Xiaoting away, but he held her hands firmly.
She was forced to swallow the medicine in her mouth.
Zhan Xiaoting only let go of her after she had swallowed all the medicine.
“Zhan Xiaoting, you’ve gone too far!” Tang Weiwei’s eyes were burning. She glared at him angrily and complained.
Seeing this, Zhan Xiaoting’s lips curled up slightly.
“I’ve said it before, if you don’t take your medicine obediently, don’t blame me for being rude!”
Now that Tang Weiwei looked full of life and energy, she seemed more pleasing to the eye.
Her previous lifeless look made his heart feel as if it was being pricked by needles.
“You…” Tang Weiwei was so angry that she wanted to scold him some more, but suddenly…
Zhan Xiaoting’s phone rang.
He took out his phone and saw that it was a call from one of his men. He immediately perked up.
There should be news about An’an.
“Young Master Zhan, we’ve found the child you asked us to find!”
