Shangguan Ning fell off the bridge with a loud scream, and Jing Yichen screamed even louder. “Ning!” Without any further thought, he jumped in right after her.

  The sea was surging and seemed bottomless.

  There was only a second’s gap between Jing Yichen and Shangguan Ning’s jump, and they found each other, quickly. Thankfully, they were very close to the land, and the water was not flowing too violently.

  As soon as Jing Yichen found Shangguan Ning, he started to swim towards her.

  Shangguan Ning knew how to swim, but she did not struggle. She allowed Jing Yichen to bring her upwards. She didn’t use any strength but still her belly had started to hurt.

  Suddenly, traces of blood started to emerge in the water.

  Shangguan Ning put her hands over her belly and the moment Jing Yichen broke her out of the water surface, she took a deep breath and said in a shivering voice, “Yichen, the baby……”


  Jing Yichen had also noticed blood on the water. With Shangguan Ning tightly clenched in his arms, he consoled her in a hoarse voice, “It is okay, Ning, the baby will be okay. Hold on, the helicopter is here!”


  Jing Yiran and his men were gone, and the helicopters and the seaplanes were approaching them fast.

  With Jing Yichen’s arms around her, Shangguan Ning looked pale and cold sweat kept leaking out of her.

  The pain in her belly got stronger and more violent, and Shangguan Ning almost passed out.

  But she understood that she must not faint now, otherwise the baby would be in danger.

  With her in his arms, Jing Yichen could feel his reddened eyes full of tears.

  His heart ached so much!

  “Ning, bite me if you are in pain.”


  Shangguan Ning burst into tears when she heard his voice.

  She would not bite him no matter how much pain she was in!

  She was afraid that she would tear Jing Yichen into pieces, being out of control at this moment.

  Every second in the sea was torture, but Shangguan Ning was not scared of the suffering. What scared her was that she would lose the child.

  This was her first child, one that she and Jing Yichen looked forward to bringing into the world.

  Jing Yichen seemed to have read her mind. With tears trickling down his cheeks, he said, “Don’t be scared, Ning, I have got the doctors on standby. Grandpa Mu is ready for you, too! He is a miraculous doctor and will definitely have a way to save you and the child!”


  When Shangguan Ning heard him speak about Grandpa Mu, she suddenly felt encouraged and even felt that the pain in the belly was no longer that strong.

  With enormous effort, she asked. “Really?”


  Jing Yichen nodded hard. “It is true! You will be fine, he is the best doctor. The child will be saved, no problem at all!”


  Shangguan Ning did admire Mu Wensheng inside her heart, and believed that he could bring someone back from the dead. He was experienced in saving lives, and she trusted him fully.

  Shangguan Ning felt hope reignite in her. Even though her lower body was bleeding and her belly still ached, she kept her mind clear and supported herself through sheer willpower.

  The helicopter soon came to them, but Shangguan Ning could not grasp the ladder in this situation, nor could Jing Yichen carry her up.

  Soon, the seaplanes arrived and brought them to the coast. Then Jing Yichen carried Shangguan Ning into the helicopter’s cabin.

  “To the Mu’s Hospital. As fast as you can!”


  The medical team in the cabin were all ready for immediate-aid. The leading doctor was the one who had checked Shangguan Ning once before. She examined Shangguan Ning and said to Jing Yichen, “Master Jing, the baby is in danger, the water has broken!”


  When the water is broken, the baby needs to come out quickly else it could be fatal.

  But Shangguan Ning’s pregnancy period had not reached the full term and the child might die even if it was born.

  Jing Yichen held Shangguan Ning’s hands in his and could feel her shiver. He said in a firm voice, “It is okay, Ning, we will have the baby out, safe and sound. Mu Xin says that the boy is very strong. Hold on, we will soon reach the hospital. I asked her to wait for you at the hospital before I came for you. Grandpa Mu will be there too. They will keep you and our son alive, trust me!”


  Shangguan Ning’s lips had lost all color.

  But what Jing Yichen said had given her some strength. She muttered in a small voice, “I trust you…… son will…… be fine.”


  Five minutes later, the helicopter crossed the entire A City and landed at the gate of the Mu Hospital. Mu Xin and her team were already waiting for them, there.

  Shangguan Ning was soon carried into the delivery room before she could say anything to Jing Yichen.

  Seeing Shangguan Ning’s face turning paler, Jing Yichen subconsciously wanted to follow in. But Mu Xin stopped him, “Leave it to me, you must not follow us. Go and get my grandpa in case of emergency.”


  Mu Xin said the words and was about to enter the delivery room.

  Jing Yichen grabbed hold of the door and said determinedly, “No matter what happens, make sure Ning is safe. She has to be alright!”


  Mu Xin got a bit startled and then nodded slowly. “I get it! I will try my best to keep both the mother and child safe. I will turn to grandpa for help, if needed.”


  Having said the words, she turned around and shut Jing Yichen out.

  The thick door separated Jing Yichen and Shangguan Ning into two different worlds.

  Mu Xin’s voice could be faintly heard, distant and unreal.

  Jing Yichen stood there, topless. He was no longer calm and poised.

  He was only clad in a pair of completely-soaked pants and was barefoot. His hair was dripping with water, yet he didn’t seem to realise it.

  Tiger put on a blanket over his shoulders from behind.

  He spoke in a consoling tone after a moment of silence. “Master, Madam and Master Junior will be fine. Take care of yourself, they will need you to be strong.”


  Jing Yichen looked as if he had not heard anything. He stood there motionless.

  Soon, Shangguan Ning’s screams arose from the operation room.

  Jing Yichen shivered, and he wanted to kick open the door. But he held himself back.

  He wanted to stand by Shangguan Ning’s side, to share her misery and give her consolation and encouragement.

  She was going through tremendous pain and torture because of him.
