Clinging to Devoted Fiancé, Heiress Slays the World!-Chapter 845: Had a Nightmare
In such harsh weather, the bodyguards searching for Gu Moqian did not dare to rashly enter the water again because someone had just nearly been sucked into a vortex, hovering on the brink of death.
Everyone stood on the deck, watching the sea rage violently, stirring up gigantic waves.
This rather frail boat, if it continued like this, would undoubtedly be capsized by the giant waves.
William had to personally go down to the lowest cabin and turn the ship around. The rescue team was delayed at the Marine Pier due to the overwhelmingly large waves.
Ji Wei lay on the deck, looking at the endless curtain of rain pounding toward her. She wanted to stop the ship from turning back, wanted to get up and find Gu Moqian, but she had exhausted all her strength, finding it extremely difficult even to move a finger.
Sea water mixed with rain water streamed into her nostrils, making her choke and bringing tears to her eyes.
She felt her eyelids growing heavier and heavier... until she had no energy left to open them.
...
Ji Wei had a nightmare.
In the dream, she saw Gu Moqian sinking into the pitch-dark, bottomless deep sea. She desperately tried to catch up to grab him, only to find her feet entangled with seaweed, unable to break free.
She watched helplessly as he continued to sink, finally becoming a tiny dot, disappearing from sight.
Mo Qian, Mo Qian!
No, don’t leave me!
She wanted to cry out, but as soon as she opened her mouth, seawater rushed in, bringing a strong sense of suffocation rushing over her, as if her throat was being squeezed tight. The air in her chest was mercilessly seized, and her consciousness drifted, fading into nothingness.
She floated motionless in the sea water.
A sudden sharp pain came from her hand as a cold liquid was injected into her body. Ji Wei gathered all her strength to slowly open her eyes.
In front of her swayed figures in white coats, the pungent smell of disinfectant filled her nostrils. Ji Wei furrowed her brows. As her consciousness fully returned, she realized she was lying on a hospital bed.
Noticing she had awakened, A Xiu, who had been keeping watch beside her, trembled as she called out, "Young lady..."
Ji Wei stared at A Xiu’s face blankly for several seconds, suddenly grabbing her wrist urgently, asking, "How about Grandma? How is she?"
A Xiu, with red-rimmed eyes, responded, "Don’t worry, young lady. The old lady has already escaped life threatening danger. The doctor said because the poisoning wasn’t long and she was treated promptly at the hospital, her life was saved. However, she’s still in the ICU and will need to be observed for a few days before she can come out."
Ji Wei nodded slowly, finally able to sigh with relief with her grandmother safe. But the next moment, her heart plunged back into darkness, seizing A Xiu’s hand tightly again, "Tell me quickly, Mo Qian? Have you heard any news about him? Has he been rescued?"
Looking at her, A Xiu was too pained to speak.
Judging from the servant’s expression, Ji Wei guessed the situation was probably not optimistic, but she refused to give up, suddenly sitting up and pulling out the drip from her hand, dashing toward the door.
After a few steps, she ran into William coming in with some simple meals.
The moment Ji Wei saw him, she paused for a second, then rushed forward to grab his collar, her eyes bloodshot, demanding, "Where is Gu Moqian? Why hasn’t he returned? Where did you take him?"
Ji Wei was almost out of control, her face as pale as a sheet, unable to muster any strength due to her emotional turmoil.
William looked at her exceedingly pale face, struggling to find words, "I’m sorry..."
All he could say was these three words.
