She couldn't help but instinctively call out Tianyi's name in fear, but there was no response.
Lying in bed, she suddenly remembered that Tianyi had told her last night that he would be on a business trip out of town for a few days, and had specifically told her to take good care of herself.
She couldn't help but laugh at herself, wondering when she had become so delicate.
Being in a warm room, hearing the wind howl outside, and being scared by a few gusts of wind, she was truly being overly sensitive.
This reminded her of a joke she had seen online: marrying the right person can spoil you like a child, while marrying the wrong person can drive you crazy.
In fact, no matter what, what every woman pursues deep down in her life is simply to have a loved one for warm companionship.
She couldn't sleep alone anymore, so she got up, washed up, and went downstairs for breakfast. She called Tianyi's phone again.
"Yes, I've arrived at the airport and am taking the earliest flight," Qin Tianyi said to Susu on the phone, while gesturing to Xiao Anjing to keep quiet.
Xiao Anjing pointed to the signs at the train station ticket gate, signaling him to hurry and get to the platform.
Susu sat in the dining room, seeing the tree shadows swaying violently outside the floor-to-ceiling window. The wind seemed to have gotten stronger, and she asked worriedly, "The weather isn't very good today, can the plane take off?"
"Oh, it's a strong wind, but as long as there's no fog, the plane can still fly as usual," Qin Tianyi added, reminding her, "Don't worry, I'll be back in two days. Take care of yourself. I'm about to board, so I won't talk to you much longer."
He hung up, and Xiao Anjing quickly helped him pick up his bag, saying, "Hurry and get on the train, or you'll miss it."
After they got on the train, Qin Tianyi, still uneasy, called Xiao Lin and the bodyguards protecting Susu, telling them to make sure to protect Susu well for the next two days and not to let any more mistakes happen.
Seeing that he had finally finished his calls, Xiao Anjing said with incomprehension, "It's just to investigate whether Yang Sijie went to the orphanage. I can have someone check. Why do you have to go yourself? As soon as you leave Lancheng, you're worried about your wife and child. Why bother?"
"If I don't investigate it myself, I can't rest assured. I can't let Yang Sijie harm her again. And I won't allow anything to happen to her and the child again!" Qin Tianyi said, looking worriedly out the train window. Not only was there a strong wind, but it had also started to rain heavily.
E'e Mountain County, where the orphanage was located, was a mountainous area with rugged roads, and no planes could reach it.
Moreover, there were no highways open there, making it inconvenient to drive himself. Besides, taking the train was the fastest and most convenient mode of transportation in such bad weather.
He didn't want Susu to get involved in anything related to Yang Sijie, so he hadn't told her the truth.
He hadn't told Su Kangxi about this either, fearing that the more people knew, the harder it would be to keep it from Susu.
If Yang Sijie was indeed still alive, he would deal with Yang Sijie himself. He would only let a dead person die again.
...
Susu ate her breakfast, looking at the weather in the city Qin Tianyi said he was going to, and felt relieved.
Although Lancheng had heavy rain that day, the city Qin Tianyi was traveling to was clear and sunny.
Susu returned to her room and received a message from Lily Zhou, saying she had sent her an email and asking her to look at the suggestions from RJ for design modifications.
She immediately replied to Lily Zhou, saying she could make the modifications according to their company's suggestions, then opened her laptop, put on an anti-radiation vest over her belly, and started working.
Just as she finished modifying the details of a certain style, her phone rang again, showing an unfamiliar landline number.
Susu answered and pressed the speakerphone button, "Hello."
"Hello, may I speak to Ms. Gu?" a young female voice came through.
"Yes, what is it?"
"I'm a staff member from the Central Children's Hospital. We've found a suitable bone marrow transplant for your niece. Could you come to the hospital?"
Susu immediately stopped what she was doing and said in disbelief, "There's a matching bone marrow? We're on the waiting list!"
"It's a donation from a charitable individual. You'll understand the specific situation when you come to the hospital. The donor also wants to meet the child's family," the nurse said. "I also tried calling Mr. Xiao's phone, but it's been out of signal, so I could only contact you."
"Okay, I'll be right there. Thank you so much to that kind donor." Susu closed her laptop, thinking that Xiao Anjing and Tianyi were probably still on the plane, so their phones couldn't be reached.
She immediately went to change her clothes to go out, but as soon as she went downstairs, Chen Ma stopped her worriedly, saying, "Young Madam, are you really going out now? It's windy and rainy outside. Can't you wait until the rain subsides a bit?"
Xiao Lin drove the car to the entrance and was waiting in the living room, agreeing, "Yes, we're afraid you'll catch a cold if you get rained on."
Susu glanced at the wind and rain outside, feeling that she couldn't wait. It was rare for someone to be willing to donate bone marrow to Xiaoxiao, and it was a perfect match.
If she didn't go immediately to thank them, what if that person regretted it and didn't donate?
"It's okay, as long as you drive me, just drive slowly," Susu smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm pregnant, not sick. What could happen by taking a car ride back and forth?"
Seeing her insistence, Chen Ma knew she must have something important to do, so she instructed Xiao Lin, "Take the bodyguards to protect Young Madam and be careful on the road."
Xiao Lin nodded and went to open the car door.
Susu arrived at Xiaoxiao's ward in the hospital and found it very lively.
Besides doctors and nurses, there were several people she didn't recognize. An older man, whose hair had all turned white, was playing with toys and interacting with Xiaoxiao.
The nurse in charge of Xiaoxiao's ward immediately introduced them to Susu, "Ms. Gu, this is Mr. Lu, who is going to donate bone marrow to the child."
She pointed to the man, who was about fifty or sixty years old and had completely white hair.
Susu looked over and greeted him, "Hello, Mr. Lu."
Lu Yuanhong, holding a toy, turned to look at Gu Susu and froze for a moment. He hadn't expected Gu Susu herself to look even more like that woman than in the photos.
Seeing his expression, Susu asked, "Mr. Lu, have we met before?"
Lu Yuanhong came back to his senses and smiled warmly, "No, no. It's just my first time meeting the child's family, and I find you completely unlike her."
Susu understood he was referring to her hair and eye color, and didn't know how to explain. She just smiled.
She inadvertently felt that this Mr. Lu had some resemblance to Shu Zhongze's features, but she didn't think much of it. Perhaps successful and distinguished men all had similar temperaments when they got older.
The nurse then explained to Lu Yuanhong, "This is the child's maternal aunt. She has already undergone bone marrow matching with the child, but it was not a match. The child has no parents and is an orphan. She was previously in an orphanage, so no other relatives can be found. Mr. Lu, if there's anything you're concerned about, you can ask this child's aunt for more details."
