Treasure Hunt: Tycoon's Priceless Runaway Wife-Chapter 587 - 586: The Bravest Baobao (Part 1)

Because the rain was getting heavier, it took more than an hour for the car to return to the mansion. However, compared to the recent days of frequent overtime, the time of getting home was much earlier.

Originally, I thought that upon returning to the mansion, there wouldn’t be an enthusiastic welcome from Baobao.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the door opened, a servant hurriedly came up to us.

"Where’s Baobao?" Le Tong saw the worried face of the person and secretly felt something was wrong.

"Miss Le, Baobao went to find White and Little Bai."

Le Tong frowned, turned her head to look outside, and saw the pouring rain still coming down heavily.

"Are you saying Baobao went to find the cats and hasn’t come back yet?"

"Yes, the two cats are missing, and Baobao got anxious and ran out with Housekeeper Li, and they haven’t returned yet..."

"Which way did Baobao go?" Le Tong didn’t wait for the servant to finish speaking, found two raincoats from the shelf in the hallway, and handed one to Ji Rui.

"That way." The servant pointed to the west.

Le Tong turned and was about to run, but Ji Rui grabbed her, "Le Tong, I’ll go with Xiao Li, you stay at home."

Le Tong’s health had just improved, and Ji Rui was afraid that getting caught in the rain would ruin the hard-won recovery.

"No!" Le Tong shook off his hand, quickly put on the raincoat, and in the blink of an eye, rushed into the heavy rain.

Unable to do anything about it, Ji Rui had to instruct Xiao Li, "Go and turn on all the garden monitors to see where Baobao is."

After giving instructions, he chased after Le Tong into the rain.

The pouring rain drenched Le Tong’s mouth, and her eyes were hit by the rain, making it impossible to fully open them. Rainwater seeped in from her neck, chilling her to the bone.

Yet Le Tong’s heart was a hundred times colder than the rain.

Since Baobao was discharged from the hospital, both she and Ji Rui had been very careful to protect Baobao.

Doctor Dong repeatedly urged them to be cautious, since Baobao was still in the recovery period. Although his body was getting stronger daily, his immune system was not at the level of a normal person. What might be a small illness to others could be a major disaster for Baobao.

So now, Le Tong’s bone-chilling coldness turned into surging fear as she shouted loudly, "Baobao, Baobao..."

Her hands and feet kept trembling uncontrollably.

"Le Tong, don’t run around, you’re not familiar with this place. Let’s look together."

Ji Rui, who caught up with her, grabbed her and pulled her back to the gravel path from the muddy grass. Compared to Le Tong, Ji Rui seemed much calmer.

But that doesn’t mean he’s not scared!

He didn’t dare to imagine what terrible consequences might arise if Baobao got sick.

"Ji Rui, let’s split up... it’ll be faster..." Le Tong’s trembling voice seemed especially mournful against the heavy rain.

"No, we’ll look together."

Ji Rui firmly rejected Le Tong’s suggestion, his large hand like a clamp, holding her hand tightly.

"Baobao... Baobao..."

Le Tong had no choice but to anxiously search along with Ji Rui.

After searching in the heavy rain for about ten minutes, Le Tong’s voice was already a bit hoarse.

Ji Rui was both distressed and anxious. Luckily, at this moment, his phone rang, and it was Xiao Li.

"Boss, Baobao is in the West Garden Osmanthus Forest."

A few minutes later, Ji Rui and Le Tong ran into the osmanthus forest and found Baobao under a large osmanthus tree, holding White and Little Bai in his arms.

"Daddy, Mommy." Baobao, being clever, knew that under a big tree it would be hard for the rain to reach him. Even though he heard the calls from the two of them, he obediently stayed under the tree.

The fact that Baobao’s voice sounded normal gave a slight warmth to Le Tong’s icy heart.

Ji Rui carried Baobao out of the osmanthus garden, where Xiao Li had already driven a small car over. Once in the car, Ji Rui hurriedly stripped Baobao of his soaked clothes, wrapped him in a blanket, and once home, immediately placed him in a warm ginger bath.

Baobao seemed to realize that he had scared Daddy and Mommy. While soaking in the tub, his little hands rested on Le Tong’s hand by the rim of the tub.

"Mommy, I’m sorry. Baobao is fine, don’t worry."

Le Tong couldn’t bear to scold him, and with red eyes, leaned down to hug his head into her embrace.

"As long as Baobao is okay..."

After putting Baobao in the bathtub, to be cautious, Ji Rui walked out of the bedroom to call Doctor Dong and explained the situation to him.

"Mr. Ji, although Baobao is recovering well, we can’t be careless. I think it would be best for you and Tongtong to send him to the hospital for observation for a day or two. It’s best if there’s nothing wrong, but if there is any abnormality, we are all here, and treatment will be quicker."

Ji Rui thought that Doctor Dong made sense, so he immediately instructed someone to pack some essentials. Once Baobao’s body was warm, Ji Rui picked him up, dried him, and explained the hospital admission carefully to him while dressing him.

"Baobao, Uncle Dong wants you to be observed in the hospital for one night. We’ll come back tomorrow, okay?"

The child who came back from the brink of death had no resistance to the idea, because he knew all too well that only by cooperating actively with the doctors could he become healthier.

"Yes, Baobao knows."

Le Tong, with red eyes, bit her lip and rubbed Baobao’s head, holding his hand as they walked out the door.

Their dinner was packed by the servants and brought to the car together.

Housekeeper Li looked remorseful, "Young Master, I..."

Before Ji Rui could speak, Baobao already spoke up to exonerate him.

"Daddy, it’s not Grandpa Li’s fault, it’s Baobao being naughty and insisting on finding White and Little Bai, that’s why Grandpa Li went with me."

Given the situation, Ji Rui couldn’t say much more, so he acknowledged it with a "Hmm" and told Housekeeper Li, "Uncle Li, if my dad asks, just tell him Baobao is having a routine check-up and needs overnight observation. He’ll be back tomorrow."

Mr. Ji’s rheumatism had flared up in recent days, affecting his sleep at night, and he had been resting the entire afternoon, unaware of Baobao getting caught in the rain while looking for the cats.

"Yes, I know what to say."

At the hospital, Doctor Dong had specially arranged an intensive care room for Baobao. Once Baobao lay on the bed, Doctor Dong began the examination while comforting Baobao.

"Baobao, don’t be afraid; you’re actually fine. It’s just that Uncle Dong is a bit of a coward and insisted you stay overnight, sorry about that!"

Baobao giggled for a while, "Baobao knows. Uncle Dong is the most timid doctor in the hospital."

Doctor Dong patted his little bottom appreciatively, "Indeed, Uncle Dong is the most timid, and Baobao is the bravest."

"Of course! Daddy and Mommy, do you think Baobao is brave?"

Baobao boastfully showed off, and his optimism and thoughtfulness moved and distressed Le Tong and Ji Rui, who held hands tightly at the bedside.

"Yes, Baobao is the bravest little man Daddy and Mommy have ever seen!"
