Belated Romance (Mu Tongrui)

Fu Lingye was taken aback.

He hugged her thin and frail body tightly, “Endure a little more, I'll take you out.”

Fu Lingye's eyes were bloodshot, full of anger and pain... his vision was complex with emotions and piercing.

Mu Tongrui could not stop bleeding.

Fu Lingye did not carry her on his back but hugged her tightly to his chest. With his body, he protected her small frame from the fire.

Mu Tongrui felt an unprecedented sense of security in his arms.

In his chest, she lifted her pale face laboriously, and said, “Lingye, the fire is too strong, you can't escape if you carry me. I am very happy that you've come to save me... but I... I don’t want you to die here with me... you should go...”

“Mu Tongrui, what nonsense are you spewing!” Fu Lingye yelled at her sharply.

Mu Tongrui buried her face in his arms and never said anything of that sort again. Instead, she hugged him tighter.

Just as the fire was at its peak, a suspended log with raging fire slammed down from the ceiling.

Fu Lingye held Mu Tongrui tightly in his arms, protecting her...

Mu Tongrui was in a coma for the entire day.

When she woke up, she was weak and pale.

The first thing she thought of was Fu Lingye.

“Lingye!”

At this moment, a nurse entered her ward to change her IV drip.

Mu Tongrui grabbed the nurse's hand, “Nurse, where is my husband? How is he?”

The nurse hurriedly pushed her back onto the bed and said, “Don't move too much, you've just lost your child, and now your body is still very weak. Also, your lungs are filled with a lot of smoke. You need to rest.”

Her child...

Mu Tongrui's eyes trembled.

She stretched out her hand and slowly touched the flat belly.

After all that, the child was gone.
