Chapter 1412 - Grampy Will Be Fine!
Chapter 1412: Grampy Will Be Fine!
Wen Xinya was picturing the scene of the stiff and cold body lying on the floor!
Wen Xinya was trapped deep in the nightmare of her Grampy dying in her past life. Even though Xu Zhenyu closed the windows of the car and adjusted the heater, she felt freezing and could not stop trembling. Her teeth were chattering as well as if she was frozen in the depths of hell and overwhelmed by fear.
Sharp cries rang in her ears as if they traveled through space. She could feel the familiar despair that dragged out certain hidden feelings from her heart. Wen Xinya blocked her ears with her hands and shook her head like a lunatic. She wanted so desperately for that empty, lost, desolated and sharp cries to leave her ears.
He’ll be fine. Grampy will be fine!
Wen Xinya continued to tell herself that in her heart.
However, she could not suppress the growing fear in her heart. She felt trapped in terror that slowly destroyed her mind.
It was like drowning in the bottomless ocean. There was nothing for you to grasp at, not even a chance to struggle. The seawater would first fill up your nose, making you feel the burn as if you were inhaling thick smoke. Then, it would choke you, making you feel as if you were swallowing blades. As your mouth opened out of your control, you would take in large gulps of the salty seawater. At this point when you lost all breath, you would finally know the feeling of suffocation.
Such a feeling of suffocation would follow you until your death.
“Xinya, don’t panic. I’ll bring you to the hospital now. You’ve been taking care of your grandfather’s health all these years and he’s been healthy, he’ll be fine.” Xu Zhenyu was also terrified out of his wits by the news of Old Mr. Mo in the hospital. However, he maintained his composure and comforted Wen Xinya as he sped up the car.
Wen Xinya curled up into a fetal position and hugged her knees. She swayed along to every swerves and bumps of the car. She was helpless, weak and looked extremely scared.
Xu Zhenyu’s heart ached for her. This was his second time witnessing Wen Xinya looking so vulnerable. “Xinya, we are close to the hospital from here. We’ll reach there in twenty minutes at most. The traffic is rather smooth at this timing too. Don’t worry, a kind soul like Old Mr. Mo is blessed. Nothing will happen to him.”
Xu Zhenyu had known Wen Xinya for so long and he understood that Old Mr. Mo was the most important family to her. If anything were to happen to him, he dared not think how Wen Xinya would be able to accept it.
Xu Zhenyu kept repeating in his mind that Old Mr. Mo would be protected by the Gods.
He continued to console Wen Xinya, yet he did not get any reaction from her. Xu Zhenyu reached out to touch her worriedly, but she seemed to be clueless of her surroundings.
“Screech—” The car screeched with a piercing sound.
“Wen Xinya!” Xu Zhenyu stopped the car instantly and called out to her.
He went on to nudge her and saved her from her weak and helpless position. Wen Xinya’s face was pale and she was drenched in sweat. She was biting on her lips so hard that fresh blood was spilling, and she was not breathing.
Xu Zhenyu was terrified. He gave Wen Xinya a few slaps as he exclaimed, “Wen Xinya, wake up. Pull yourself together.”
The Wen Xinya now was like a drowning person. She was subconsciously holding her breath and biting her lips. If he had not noticed earlier, there was a chance Wen Xinya would pass out from shock.
When a person was faced with great danger, she would imagine how the situation would go down and then react to it. This was a natural instinct for the body to protect itself from harm.
“Wen Xinya, wake up! Old Mr. Mo’s life is still uncertain, he still needs you.” Xu Zhenyu squeezed Wen Xinya’s face, forcing her to stop biting her lips.
His action took effect. The moment she released her bite, she began to suck in quick breaths of fresh air. She began to calm down and wake up from her dazed state.
Xu Zhenyu finally heaved a sigh of relief. “Xinya, good thing you are okay!”
When he noticed that Xinya was not breathing, he was so scared his soul almost left his body. He had never been so afraid before in his entire life. Even when Xinya was kidnapped in the past, that terror from that seven hours was not as great as this.
Wen Xinya gasped for air. “What… What did I do?” she said croaked.
She remembered recalling the scene of Grampy’s death in her past life and was swallowed by despair and pain momentarily. Following that, her body felt excruciating as if she was drowning, and her awareness slowly faded away.
A voice in her head continued to whisper, “Go to sleep. Once you sleep, everything will be fine!”
She could not stand the voice that dimmed her thoughts.
Wen Xinya finally gained back her full senses. She became aware that they were rushing to the hospital as Grampy was in a dangerous condition. “Hurry, bring me to the hospital.”
Since the moment she answered Uncle Zhang’s call, she was subconsciously trapped in despair. Until now, she finally understood what was going on.
Other than fear, she was worried and confused.
Why did Grampy suddenly have to go to the hospital?
How is his body now?
Anxiety welled up in her chest and she once again lost her mind.
Xu Zhenyu resumed driving. Seeing that her face was pale, he reached out to hold her hand. As expected, it was icy cold. “Xinya, don’t be scared. Because of his old age, he is bound to have some sickness. But he’ll be fine.”
Xu Zhenyu was uneasy. He felt that Wen Xinya was acting a little off, yet he could not tell what exactly. Xinya could not help but worry since Old Mr. Mo was in the hospital and was in critical condition. However, the way she was acting was way too shocking.
As he drove the car, he said with a complicated expression, “Xinya, I know you are worried about Old Mr. Mo. But you have to take care of yourself. No matter what, he would not wish for anything to happen to you.”
Wen Xinya did not reply. At this moment, nothing was going through her ears. Her mind was fully occupied by the news of Grampy being in danger. Unease, terror, anxiety, fear, despair… all sorts of emotions were piercing through her heart.
