Chapter 200: Let Nothing Happen to My Woman



200 Let Nothing Happen to My Woman

Jin Yue pause for a few minutes, then took in a deep breath..

''Nothing had been confirmed yet. No-one knows for sure if he was in the crash. We have not checked the list of passengers on board.''

He replied firmly, not going over the line. He was not about to announce that his best friend was involved in a plane crash and his body was not yet discovered.

''Okay, do get back to me if there's any improvement.''

''I'll do that.''

Da Xia disconnected the call and threw her phone on the bed as she cried the more. Her heart felt like chattering into pieces but there was nothing she could do, she could only cry.

As Jin Yue put back his phone into his pocket, it began ringing again. He sighed and took it out, making up his mind not to answer any call from an unknown number.

Liu Wei…

Jin Yue's eyes widened in shock, his hand which was holding the phone gave way and the phone fell from his hand creating a chattering sound as it made contact with the floor.

Xin Yong who was still crying for her friend turned around to look at Jin Yue, her brows creased curiously. Jin Yue immediately picked up the phone and swiped across immediately, answering the call before it would stop ringing.

'' Liu Wei? Liu Wei? Are you the one?''

''Jin Yue, I've been calling Liling's phone, she has not been picking, can you ask your wife to check if she can contact her.''

Xin Yong who heard Jin Yue mention Liu Wei jumped up from her seat and dashed to where Jin Yue was standing.

''Is that him? He's alive? Oh my God! ''

''Liu Wei, where are you? In fact that's not important; you need to be in Beijing now! I don't want to know where you are at the moment. God!''

Liu Wei was a bit confused, he wondered if something had happened.

''Did anything happen? I had an emergency meeting with a client in America, so instead of going to China I went to America instead. I called to inform Liling of the change of plans but her phone was switched off during the day. Hope there is no problem?''

Jin Yue could not really place what he was feeling at that moment. He was happy, sad, angry, excited. He wanted to scream at his friend but at the same time he wanted to hug him so tightly and thank him for not dying.

''Liu Wei, did you see the news?''

''What news?''

Xin Yong was getting apprehensive from how slow Jin Yue was, in telling Liu Wei the situation at hand.

She wanted to snatch the phone from him and scream everything to his ears but she held herself as she paced around the room.

''Liu Wei, a plane crashed today and there were no survivors.''

There was a pause on the other end of the line, as Liu Wei tried to link the plane crash to him.

Liu Wei, who was just about to take off his tie from the long hours of sitting in the plane, paused immediately as his eyes widened in shock.

''NO… LILING… WHERE IS SHE? IS SHE OKAY? OH MY GOD! GIVE HER THE PHONE, GIVE HER THE DAMN PHONE!''

Liu Wei screamed over the phone. He brushed his hand through his head helplessly. He did not want to believe what he was thinking. He hoped that it was not true.

''Sorry man, she's not available to answer your call.''

Liu Wei felt like dying. His heart was squeezing so hard that he found it hard to breathe. Sweat drops were pouring from his face and his eyes were so red that it looked as though it would bleed.

''What happened? What happened to her? ''

He was already in the brink of tears. He was trembling as he waited to hear what Jin Yue would say.

''She fainted when she saw the news headline, thinking that you were in the crash. We're currently in the hospital, she has not woken up…''

''WHY DID YOU LET HER SEE THE NEWS? WHY!! JIN YUE!!''

Liu Wei screamed over the phone. He felt like hitting his head on the wall until it bled. He wished he had told her of his plans, he wished her phone was not switched off that morning and most importantly he wished that she had not fainted because of him.

He blamed himself for everything, but although he felt like disappearing and appearing in front of her that minute, they were 14 hours flight time away and he was no magician.

''Hey! Is it my fault that you did not call me to tell me that you were no longer coming back today? If you had told me, all these would not have happened!''

Jin Yue could not understand how he was the one to blame here. How was he the one being scolded all of a sudden?

Liu Wei sighed exasperatedly. He blinked his eyes severally, holding in the tears.

He was sorry, sorry for not coming back to her as he promised. Sorry for not being there for her and most importantly, sorry for being the reason she was in so much pain right now.

''I'm taking the next flight back to China; please let nothing happen to my woman. ''

He begged miserably. Jin Yue knew he had not intended any of those things to happen, he felt sorry for him but there was nothing much he could do. They would all have to wait for Liling to wake up, hopefully.

''Alright, be safe for her.''

''I will.''

"What did he say? Oh my God! Did he realize what he has just done? And what were you doing? You did not even shout at him properly!''
