Sweet Wife So Charming: CEO: Hold Back Your Heart-Chapter 191: Signal

Moira Young gasped in pain, her knee and elbow both hurting like hell, and the phone in her hand had flown far away.

Her nose stung, almost making her cry.

Fortunately, the flashlight wasn’t broken. She held it and searched around in the direction the phone had flown, found it, and saw that the screen was shattered...

Moira felt a pang of distress in her heart, somewhat upset. She tried to turn on the phone and touch the screen; sometimes it was responsive, sometimes it wasn’t.

She walked back to Sean’s house, frowning. Sean was waiting for her at the door, and when he saw her return, it was like seeing hope.

"Moira!" Sean ran over excitedly, his eyes shining, "Sister, what did the doctor say? Is there a way?"

Moira wanted to say she didn’t know what to do either, but seeing Sean’s excited and expectant eyes suddenly made her feel she had a daunting task on her shoulders.

In just that moment, she didn’t want to disappoint Sean.

Moreover, the most important thing is that Sean’s grandmother was carried down the mountain by Moira with all her strength. Now that this matter has begun, she’s determined to see it through to the end.

"Sean, the doctor said grandma needs to go to the hospital," Moira squatted down and looked at him seriously.

Sean’s hopeful expression vanished instantly, leaving only dull despair. He closed his mouth and stopped speaking.

Moira held his hand with empathy, saying, "Do you trust me?"

Sean hesitated, nodding cautiously but only in a perfunctory manner.

"I’ll figure out a way to get grandma to the hospital, okay?"

Sean stifled his tears, choking, "Don’t comfort me anymore; we don’t have a hospital here, and no hospital car willing to come and pick her up."

"Sean, you forgot, there’s another form of transportation in the world—planes," Moira said tentatively, hoping to give him a little hope.

Hearing this, Sean was even closer to tears, "Where’s a plane going to come from? Please don’t comfort me anymore; grandma’s leg won’t walk anymore..."

Seeing him like this made Moira anxious, too. She pulled out her phone, "I’ll call now; I have a way to get grandma out."

Sean wiped his tears away with his hand, staring blankly at Moira’s already shattered phone.

Because of the darkness, Moira didn’t notice the injuries from her fall; all her focus was on getting Sean’s grandmother out of the mountain.

"Your phone’s broken..." Sean awkwardly pointed at Moira’s phone screen.

Moira blinked her eyes awkwardly, saying softly, "It still works... it still works..."

"I’ll call now." Moira opened the phone screen, tapping several times before she managed to open the dialing page.

Actually, she had already thought of who to call while at the doctor’s, but she wasn’t sure if making that call was the right decision. But now, even if it’s wrong, the call must be made.

The call she wanted to make was to Butler Liu.

Sean stood by Moira, nervously watching her repeatedly tap the phone screen; due to some exaggerated cracks, it wasn’t working properly.

Although it was already autumn, the night was cold, but the two were still so nervous they were sweating.

Almost ten minutes passed, and Moira finally managed to dial the last digit of the phone number after tapping more than fifty times.

She sighed in relief and looked at Sean, "Shall I call?"

Sean nodded, eyes shining. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Moira pressed the dial button, but unfortunately, the signal here was very unstable, and the call wouldn’t go through.

She tried calling several times but couldn’t get through.

"No signal..." Moira looked at Sean apologetically, "Do you know where the signal is best?"

Sean didn’t hesitate, pointing directly toward the mountain on the right, "The signal there is good! I often go there to call my parents!"

Moira looked in the direction Sean pointed; it was pitch black there, not a single household, just a dark mountain.

She unconsciously swallowed, feeling a bit scared.

Sean quickly ran into the house and came out with another flashlight, "Moira, I’ll take you!"

With that, Sean led Moira towards the mountain.

Because Moira had fallen before, her knee was terribly painful as she walked, but she continued to the mountain.

However, once she got up there, Moira was so exhausted she could barely walk; the autumn wind blew away the sweat, gradually chilling her.

She only thought about making the call as soon as possible and then staying at Sean’s.

Moira dialed Butler Liu again, and finally, with the signal, she heard the ringing sound of a connected call.

It was nearly ten at night; logically, Butler Liu should still be at Julian Sinclair’s house.

Just, after a long time, no one answered.

Moira suddenly felt uneasy, her first thought being that Butler Liu was deliberately not answering her call.

But then, on second thought, her phone number was new, Butler Liu wouldn’t recognize it, so he wouldn’t fail to answer just because it was her call.

Would he not answer because it was an unfamiliar number?

Sean watched Moira with wide eyes, not daring to ask, afraid of interrupting her.

After a while, no one answered the call.

Moira bit her lower lip, "Sean, don’t worry, I’ll keep calling until he answers, okay?"

Sean still had his hopes pinned on Moira at that moment, so he nodded gladly.

But for some reason, after Moira called several times, Butler Liu still didn’t answer, and eventually, the light of expectation in Sean’s eyes vanished completely.

Moira didn’t know what to do, why wasn’t Butler Liu answering...

However, just as Moira was getting anxious and angry, Butler Liu suddenly returned the call.

Sean looked at Moira’s phone screen excitedly, and Moira, startled by the unexpected phone vibration, immediately answered.

"Hello, Butler Liu, it’s Moira Young!" Moira was a bit excited.

"Miss Young? Sorry, miss, I was busy earlier and didn’t hear the call." Butler Liu explained.

"No problem, no problem. I want to ask for a favor, is that okay?" Moira got straight to the point. She thought she had saved Butler Liu once a few days ago, so he should help her if she asked now.

"Please go ahead, miss."

"I am currently in the mountains, staying at the house of a boy named Sean. His grandma injured her ankle today while chopping wood and needs to be taken to the hospital urgently for surgery. If the surgery isn’t done before midnight, her leg won’t walk anymore, but this is a mountain area, difficult for vehicles to reach, so..."
