Blossoming Flowers - Chapter 223

Jiang Yingyue was huddled into herself in the top of the tree; her heart was beating rapidly as she looked around, wondering what she could do to escape.

She was terrified. Although she had been calm and collected at the Mu family, now that she had escaped she would never return to that place, and fearing that the Mu siblings had sent these men, her heart could not help but tremble.

She looked down fearfully, but the dogs were still clamoring, the big black-clothed bodyguards were also still standing there looking up at her with unchanged expressions.

Amid her horror, she felt as if she was crumbling down, but then she heard a voice that felt like a heavenly song to her, and she lifted her head that had been hidden in her bosom before.

Looking down, she saw a figure rushing through the forest and coming towards her, his figure all so familiar.

Her heart skipped a beat, and her chapped lips, which had been dried out from her dehydration, opened and closed as she tried to speak.

She did not manage to say a single word, but she still pulled on the lips, and blood began flowing from the small cracks.

Although she could taste blood in her mouth, she did not register it. Instead, her eyes were glued onto Han Qingshan, who was rushing towards her. When he came under the tree, he quickly made the dog’s owners bring them away, and he told the bodyguards to vacate the area as well.

When only Han Qingshan and Jiang Yingyue remained, he finally looked up at her, and he felt his heart ache, filled with pain.

Jiang Yingyue was seated on a large branch, her small body was huddled up in a ball, her arms tightly embracing her legs, and her head was looking down on him, tears flowing freely from her eyes.

Her lips were chapped, blood was flowing from them, and her eyes were showing a mixture of hopelessness and disbelief.

Her clothes were messy. Clearly they had been pulled by many branches while she was running away; her feet, which had been without shoes, were also bleeding from running through the dense thicket.

“You little fool,” Han Qingshan said with a gentle voice that was filled with self-blaming. How could he possibly have let Jiang Yingyue become so injured?

Why would he even let her be in danger? Although it was not his fault, it was not her fault either. She should not have suffered like this.

Jiang Yingyue looked at the man on the ground beneath her, her body trembled, and she almost fell from the branch.

“Careful!” Han Qingshan called out before he gently coaxed her to come down.

Everything was a blur to Jiang Yingyue, from when she saw Han Qingshan, until they were suddenly within the helicopter. All the way Han Qingshan had carried her, and as they reached the safety of the helicopter, Jiang Yingyue suddenly collapsed.

Her body was trembling, and her brows were furrowed. She was uncomfortable.

Han Qingshan’s heart was hurting when he saw her like this.

He quickly dragged her into his embrace and ordered the pilot to leave behind the forest and rush to the first hospital within the capital.

The helicopter landed on the roof, and by the time it landed, Jiang Yingyue was still unconscious, but many doctors were already waiting for them.

They instantly made Han Qingshan put Jiang Yingyue down on a stretcher, and hurried her into the VIP ward.

A nurse appeared and changed her clothes for her, it was also female doctors who tended to her, and after an hour, they exited and went to speak with Han Qingshan.

“She is still unconscious,” the head doctor started. “She was exhausted and stressed. We need to keep an eye on her to ensure that she does not have posttraumatic stress disorder.”

The doctors were aware that she had been kidnapped and had escaped, Han Qingshan had provided them with all the information needed to diagnose her.

The doctors were aware that Han Qingshan was an upscale person, and even more, they were informed that she was his girlfriend. It was evident that she had been kidnapped by someone who wished to use their relationship to earn money.

Han Qingshan was seated on a chair next to the hospital bed. He held her hand carefully in his, and his heart was filled with a dull pain as he saw her lying on the bed listless and without any signs of life.

If not for the low sound of her breathing, and the chest rising and lowering slowly, then he would be afraid that she was dead.

The night passed in silence, Han Qingshan did not sleep for even a minute, his eyes were locked onto Jiang Yingyue.

It was not before the sunrise started creeping over the horizon that Jiang Yingyue stirred on the bed.

She instantly started sitting up when she awoke as if she feared the worst.

“Calm down, I am here.” It was not before Jiang Yingyue heard Han Qingshan’s voice that she calmed down slightly.

She took a deep breath; then she slowly and hesitantly reached out her hand to touch Han Qingshan’s cheek.

She was trembling as if she was afraid that he was not real, but when she touched him and felt the touch was real, she let out a deep breath and finally felt safe again.

“That was scary,” she said, her voice still trembling.

“I know,” Han Qingshan nodded his head. “Don’t worry, it will not happen again.”

Jiang Yingyue nodded her head. She noticed that bags had formed underneath Han Qingshan’s eyes, and she knew that he had not slept for a full night.

“Come here,” she said as she shuffled to the side and patted the bed below her.
