To My Dear Mr. Huo - Chapter 172 - Are You Too Tired

Chapter 172: Are You Too Tired

This wasn’t the first time that Su Qingsang had faced death, but it no doubt had been the most horrifying time.

The rescue team brought over a family of three who had been buried. All of them were dead on arrival.

All the medical workers fell silent and just stared at the family. The kid seemed to have only been four or five years old.

The deputy director, Mr. Chen, was the first one to come back to reality. He took a step and covered the kid with a white sheet.

Su Qingsang covered another person with a white sheet, following Mr. Chen. They already knew death like this was inevitable long ago. Still, nobody could escape feeling depressed when they were faced with such a miserable scene.

When Huo Jinyao found her at noon, he noticed her bad mood immediately.

“My wife, are you too tired?” Huo Jinyao asked.

Su Qingsang shook her head and glanced at Huo Jinyao.

“Let’s eat something,” Huo Jinyao had a cup of instant noodles in his hand. “It’s done. The sources are really limited here. You eat this first.”

He put the noodles on the table beside them while speaking.

“The rain finally stopped, which will facilitate the proceeding of the rescue operations. You need to eat something soon; otherwise, you won’t be able to handle work this afternoon,” Huo Jinyao said.

It had been raining since last night until now.

“Huo Jinyao.” Su Qingsang hugged him suddenly.

Huo Jinyao went blank for a second. He should have enjoyed the rare active movement of Su Qingsang. Clearly, this was a weird situation.

“What? What happened?” Huo Jinyao asked.

He wrapped her waist in his arms and asked with an extremely gentle voice.

Su Qingsang had no idea how to say it. This is the nature of catastrophe. When it happens, nobody can survive without suffering.

Huo Jinyao didn’t know the actual reason, so he could only guess.

“Are you just tired?” Huo Jinyao asked.

Su Qingsang shook her head, with no intention of speaking at the time.

“Then — “Huo Jinyao looked into the distance. There was quite a distance between the location of the medical team and the landslide site.

This was just an emergency medical station. The injured would be transferred to the county hospital in no time after necessary first-aid measures were conducted here.

Now, the rescue team was still searching. The more time that passed, the lower the survival rate would be. How could he forget this?

“My wife.” Huo Jinyao hugged Su Qingsang tighter and comforted her in a gentle voice. “Birth, senility, illness, death, and natural or man-made disasters cannot be avoided. You didn’t make it happen. Don’t blame yourself.”

Of course, Su Qingsang knew this. Still, she felt terrible that the lives were lost right in front of her, even if she couldn’t have done anything.

“Come on.” Patting Su Qingsang, Huo Jinyao said, “Honey, you should eat some food. Taking good care of yourself is necessary if you want to help other people. I’m right, right? ”

Saying that, Huo Jinyao stepped backward and reached out his hand to touch Su Qingsang’s face.

“I do believe you can save more people. That’s true?” Huo Jinyao said, with a serious expression.

Gazing at his deep and determined eyes, although the anxiety was still deeply rooted in Su Qingsang’s heart, she felt a bit relieved.

His words and his embrace were as warm as the hot spring, which could gently comfort her and ease her pain.

Su Qingsang felt so lucky that Huo Jinyao stood by her side.

“Huo Jinyao.” Gazing into his eyes, Su Qingsang uttered, “Thank you.”

Although she had never believed in love and trusting a man, she could try to trust and love him.
