Chapter 433 - Not Breathing
Shi Luo tilted her head as she looked at Mia's back quietly for a few seconds before she adjusted her glasses. It has been a short time since they met and just like Yu Mei, both her and Li Shuang were close to Mia but… why did she suddenly tell it to her like this?
Mia walked towards Jun Zixuan handed him his phone which he had given her to call Han Jian Yu, ''And keep this too,'' she handed him a small red crystal ring.
''What is this?" Jun Zixuan glanced at the ring before looking at her.
''I will use my powers later so you keep this with yourself, it has some of my powers in it. If I call for you, you can bring this inside and help me,'' Mia paused for a moment before adding, ''Trust me on this, Zixuan. I will save both Mei and your child. You don't need to lose one to keep the other.''
Jun Zixuan glanced at the ring before he nodded, ''Alright, I will be there.''
Mia smiled, ''Better. Now you wait for the good news.'' ƒ𝔯𝗲𝗲𝙬𝒆𝚋𝐧oѵℯl.𝒄𝑜m
''Thank you,'' he whispered.
''You have been the best brother that I could ever ask for. Don't thank me, this is what I should do,'' she winked at him before walking inside the operation theatre.
3 hours later.
Han Jian Yu rushed out of the elevator while holding his suit jacket in his hand. His footsteps came to a halt as his gaze landed on Shi Luo was sitting on a lone chair in the corridor, he looked around but he was unable to find anyone else.
''Luoluo,'' He called out and Shi Luo raised her head to look at him, ''What happened?'' His brows tugged together in a deep frown when he saw her reddened eyes and the tears streaming down her cheeks.
An uncomfortable feeling rose in his chest as he stepped closer to her, ''Luoluo, tell me what happened? I am here now, everything will be fine.''
Shi Luo shook her head as she cried harder, ''S-She is no more…'' The words escaped her mouth as she tilted her head to look at the slightly ajar door of the operation theatre.
Han Jian Yu's footsteps faltered for a moment before he stabilized himself, ''What nonsense are you speaking about?" His voice went a tone higher and before Shi Luo could say something, he strode towards the operation theatre before he pushed open the door and stepped inside.
The atmosphere inside was more depressing and his footsteps slowed down when he saw a flash of ash blonde hair on the other side of the operation bed.
He paused for a moment before he turned to look at Yu Mei who was lying on the bed with a peaceful expression on her face, her cheeks were rosy and he could see her chest falling and rising evenly as she breathed.
A relieved sigh escaped his mouth and he walked towards the other side of the bed only to find Jun Zixuan kneeling on the floor quietly, ''What happened to you…'' The rest of his words were stuck in his throat when he spotted another person in front of the man.
He stepped to the side before walking forward. His footsteps came to a halt as he glanced at Mia who was lying on the floor in a curled up position. Her long silver hair framed her small face and her face was t\\\\urned to the side, ''What happened to her?" He asked Jun Zixuan, ''She was fine when she left but why is she like this right now?" He suppressed the uncomfortable feelings rising in his heart.
Jun Zixuan did not respond and Han Jian Yi's fingers curled into a fist, ''I am asking you something,'' He snarled.
Jun Zixuan extended his hand towards Han Jian Yu.
Han Jian Yu looked at the crystal ring that the man was holding in between his thumb and index finger, ''What is this..?"
''I don't know,'' Jun Zixuan spoke, his voice was low and hoarse, ''This is something she left for me before…'' he paused.
Han Jian Yu did not take the ring from his hand and he walked to the other side before sitting beside Mia's body. He carefully held her head and shifted it from the floor to his lap before removing her long hair that was covering her face, ''Mia…'' He stopped speaking when he noticed the blood near the corner of her mouth, her face was pale like a sheet of paper.
''I think she needs water. Will you get it?" Han Jian Yu carefully stroked her hair and combed it with his fingers before tucking them beside her ear. Her body was so cold that he could feel his fingers getting numbed by it, ''Warm water.''
Jun Zixuan did not say anything and he quietly watched as Han Jian Yu picked up his suit jacket from the floor before draping it over Mia's body, ''She is…''
Han Jian Yu interrupted him''How long has it been since she is sleeping on the floor? And what are you doing, squatting beside her instead of picking her up from here? Her body is so cold now…''
''She is not breathing, goddamnit,'' Jun Zixuan snapped at the man, ''Her body is pale, cold and lifeless. Everything is right in front of you. Acting like you can't see it won't change it. It won't bring her back to life.''
Han Jian Yu narrowed his eyes, ''She is not an ordinary human. She is different. What makes you think that something will happen to her?"
Silence ensued in the room after Han Jian Yu spoke.
''It's the words she said before she left,'' Jun Zixuan said after a long time.
Han Jian Yu tilted his head to look at him, the corner of his eyes were slightly red, ''What… do you mean? Who did she speak to and what was it about?"
''To me, to Luoluo. All those words seemed fine till she was around…'' Jun Zixuan's palm dropped onto his knee as he tilted his head down to glance at Mia, ''....But they seem like a farewell now that I look at her like this,'' The discomfort and pain in his heart for Yu Mei and their unborn child was so much that it overwhelmed his senses and he did not find anything amiss with Mia.
