Fire Chief vs. Surgeon: A Tale of Relentless Pursuit-Chapter 790: The Process is Not Important
"Jiang Ye... Jiang Ye..."
"At your service."
"Why did it take you so long to come?
Do you know how much I’ve been hoping you would come to rescue us?
So many aftershocks, so many landslides almost buried us, Jiang Ye, do you know how scared I was?
I was afraid something would happen, afraid that my parents would lose their daughter, afraid that there’d be no one to take care of you afterwards.
I was also afraid something would happen to our child, the one you’ve been longing for so long to have!"
This was the first time Lu Jing had ever complained so much to a man.
The things she wanted to say, the things she didn’t want to say, the words she was usually too shy to express, she let them all out now.
Maybe it was having faced death, having come to understand a lot of things more clearly.
People really must live in the present.
Because, who can predict what will happen tomorrow?
So, to avoid any regrets, of course you do what you want to do and say what you want to say with all your heart, and vent when you need to.
Jiang Ye listened carefully to every word, and after she had finished venting, he gently rubbed her hair and even kissed her forehead:
"I know my wife is scared, which is why I tried so hard to find you.
At last, heaven favors the diligent, and I found you, my wife."
Indeed, Jiang Ye was the first to spot the distress smoke signals wafting from the dense forest. When everyone else was unable to ascertain the exact location, it was Jiang Ye who first narrowed the search area and, ultimately, it was also Jiang Ye who personally piloted the helicopter to perform the rescue.
Although this experience was truly terrifying for the average person, for the two of them, after the fear, there was also certainly another different feeling.
That feeling goes without saying.
But it was something only the two of them could deeply share, something that outsiders couldn’t understand.
Lu Jing tightened her arms around him again, her head pressed even more firmly against his chest.
It seemed that only by hearing his every powerful heartbeat could she truly be at ease.
And so, they stayed on the rooftop for nearly twenty minutes, before finally going back downstairs.
Outside the operating room.
Yu, a village elder, and the four comrades from the helicopter were all present.
Seeing the two of them coming, a rascally chap whistled:
"Yo, had enough of your lovey-dovey time?"
Lu Jing’s face turned red immediately, but Jiang Ye remained completely calm as he even gave a threatening glance at the man.
Sure enough, the teasing intent immediately retracted.
"Old Jiang, make some introductions, eh?"
Jiang Ye, holding Lu Jing’s hand, drew nearer:
"Wife, let me introduce you. This is an old comrade from my former unit, his family name is Zhan, with a simple ’You’ for his given name."
Zhan You?
What a strange name!
Of course, Lu Jing’s curiosity remained in her heart and didn’t show on her face.
"Hello, Mr. Zhan."
The man immediately beamed with a smile:
"Old Jiang, how many years have we known each other? You’ve never been so courteously polite, but your Doctor Lu here is really outstanding!"
At this banter, Jiang Ye rolled his eyes simply:
"Polite? What kind of politeness are you looking for?"
That was a statement clearly with a deeper meaning!
"Cough, no, no, no, don’t get the wrong idea, I wasn’t insinuating anything."
Still a coward at heart.
Hearing ’old comrade from the old unit’, Lu Jing understood who these people were.
If nothing had happened back then, Jiang Ye would probably still be there, and wouldn’t have joined the firefighting squad.
However, accidents had happened, and certainly, the subsequent events had changed.
In Jiang Ye’s words, whether the process mattered or not wasn’t important, as long as the outcome remained the same, that was all that mattered.
