Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Mu Chen’s expression suddenly turned solemn as he grabbed Cheng Che’s wrist. He asked anxiously, “Think about it again. Why did you forget about Song Ning at that time? Why did you only remember to carry Grandma? Did someone say something at that time?”

Cheng Che trembled. As he looked at Mu Chen, he suddenly felt as though he had lost his voice. After a while, he slowly said, “Brother… At that time, some urged me to hurry up and said something about Grandma being unable to endure it any longer… Who was it?”

Cheng Che felt like crying at this moment.

However, Mu Chen was unnaturally calm. “Cheng Che, don’t be anxious. Think about it carefully. Who said that to you?”

Cheng Che closed his eyes and recalled the scene of chaos and panic at that time. He had rushed to look for Jiang Jin at that time, and he was so anxious that he almost tripped over the carpet when he entered the room. He was panicking and worried about Jiang Jin.

He remembered that at that time, Jiang Jin was carrying the baby. At that time, Jiang Jin had asked him what was happening outside, and he had told her the hospital had caught fire and the cause was unknown; he remembered telling her they had to leave immediately. Following that, he remembered Jiang Jin had anxiously asked about Mu Chen’s whereabouts and had said that Song Ning was still sleeping in the ward. Sister Yu had taken the baby from Jiang Jin’s arms and rushed him to bring Jiang Jin out. At that time, Jiang Jin had refused vehemently, saying that they had waited for Mu Chen’s return since Song Ning was still inside. Jiang Jin had said that Song Ning had just given birth so Song Ning would not have the strength to escape on her own. Jiang Jin wanted to wait for Mu Chen to return to save Song Ning before leaving together. It was at that time that Mu Qing had anxiously urged him to carry Jiang Jin out, saying that it would be too late if they delayed any longer. Liang Zhou had also urged him to carry Jiang Jin and the baby out to safety first and said that they would look for Mu Chen after that. Following that, amidst the chaotic shouts from outside, Mu Qing had urged him again to hurry up.

When Cheng Che regained his senses, he raised his head and looked at Mu Chen with eyes brimming with panic as he said, “At that time, I felt that you’d be returning soon and would be able to save sister-in-law. Hence, I ignored Grandma’s protest and carried her out while Sister Yu supported Grandma from the side. I saw Liang Zhou carrying the baby as well at that time. Although I was hoping you’d come back in time, my plan was to carry Grandma to the entrance before returning for sister-in-law. However, when we were at the stairs, some people ran up and said we couldn’t go in that direction. Hence, I carried Grandma and ran to another exit. When we finally reached the ground floor, that was when I met you…”

Mu Chen grabbed a pen on the table and held it tightly in his hand. His knuckles had turned white due to his strong grip. “I saw all of you rushing downstairs at the time…”

Cheng Che nodded. “When you arrived at the ward, was sister-in-law alone?”

Mu Chen nodded. “She was still sleeping soundly on the bed at that time. The needle from the IV drip was still stuck in her hand. She looked exactly the same as when I left her…”

Mu Chen suddenly stopped speaking and raised his head to look at Cheng Che.

Cheng Che could tell that Mu Chen had thought of something. He said in a soft voice, as though he was afraid that he would disrupt Mu Chen’s thoughts if he had spoken too loudly, “Brother? What’s wrong? What did you recall?”

Mu Chen’s eyes were fixed on Cheng Che’s face as he slowly said, “Song Ning’s face was rather swollen after she came out from the delivery room. However, when I went back to save her from the fire, she…”

Cheng Che asked nervously, “What is it, Brother?”

Crack!

The pen in Mu Chen’s hand snapped, and the sharp edges pierced Mu Chen’s hand.

Cheng Che was shocked and hurriedly pressed a piece of tissue paper against the wound on Mu Chen’s hand. “Brother!”

Mu Chen mumbled absent-mindedly, “Did I see wrongly? Were my eyes playing tricks on me?”

Mu Chen closed his eyes to recall the scene that day again. He thought about how he felt as though his heart was going to stop beating as he rushed into the room to save his wife. When he opened the door, he saw Song Ning lying quietly, untouched by the chaos outside, on the bed, sound asleep. He remembered thinking for a moment that his wife was truly beautiful.. Although she had just given birth and fire was raging outside, his wife looked exactly the same as before.
