Chapter 354 - 353: Communication Breakdown

"Please hold on a moment, I’ll ask about the situation," said the operator.

On this side, Yao Chunhua and Old Gu were getting worried.

"Why can’t we get through?"

"Could something have happened on the island?"

The old couple paced back and forth in the village committee office, their brows furrowed with obvious concern.

The waiting time seemed to stretch endlessly.

Yet it also felt like it passed quickly, as the operator soon responded with the cause.

"What! A very strong typhoon!"

"Communication has been cut off!"

Upon hearing this news, Old Gu and Yao Chunhua’s hearts sank instantly.

"How could there be a very strong typhoon, and why did the communication cut off precisely now, leaving us unable to contact them?"

It was indeed a very strong typhoon!

Although there had never been a typhoon in Huaihua Village due to its geographical location,

they knew what a typhoon was, let alone a very strong one.

A very strong typhoon could sweep an adult away once it hit.

"Why did it have to hit just when Ningning is about to give birth?"

"I wonder how Ningning and the others are doing?" Yao Chunhua muttered worriedly.

Old Gu, however, managed to calm down first.

"Don’t worry."

"Even though Ningning’s due date is within these days, she’s still being cared for by her maternal grandma."

"And besides, they are in the military district."

"Being in the military district is relatively safer."

Old Gu’s analysis somewhat calmed Yao Chunhua down.

Even though communication was cut off and they hadn’t gotten through yet, Yao Chunhua just couldn’t rest easy.

Gu Jia Ning hadn’t told them that Grandma Sang hadn’t come due to a leg injury.

If they knew, they would undoubtedly be more worried.

To avoid causing them concern, Gu Jia Ning didn’t tell them about Grandma Sang not coming.

"Let’s head back for now. With the communication down, we won’t get through for a while," said Old Gu.

"Alright." Though they headed back home, the old couple decided to come to the village committee every day to make a call until they got through.

When they arrived home, Gu Yunan and Su Miao, who had recently had a baby and was in confinement, also heard about the strong typhoon hitting Huan Sha Island.

The couple was also a bit worried.

"Hope my sister-in-law and her family are alright."

"And hope we can get in touch soon," said Su Miao.

Su Miao was grateful to her sister-in-law.

It could be said that her life was saved by her sister-in-law.

Su Miao hadn’t expected a delivery issue with her second child either.

At that moment when the doctor mentioned her delivery problems, she was utterly despairing.

She knew that whether it was the doctor or her husband or her in-laws, they would surely save her.

But that also meant she would lose her baby.

Of course, that was the least severe outcome; her situation could very well have been fatal to both herself and the baby.

The child’s life couldn’t be spared.

But she still had hope.

Just when she was on the verge of despair, it was her mother-in-law who brought out the smooth delivery pill that her sister-in-law had prepared for her.

Even though she didn’t know if her sister-in-law had foreseen this situation,

because of taking that pill, she regained strength and delivered the baby successfully.

Both mother and daughter were safe.

It could be said that her sister-in-law had saved both their lives.

The doctor at the time even exclaimed in wonder.

Praising Doctor Gu for being remarkable.

Even a single pill was so powerful.

Su Miao also knew that initially, her mother-in-law planned to take care of her sister-in-law during postpartum.

But since their due dates were close, the mother-in-law chose to stay with her.

Regarding this, Su Miao felt somewhat guilty.

So, just after giving birth, she wanted her mother-in-law to deliver the good news to her sister-in-law.

Yet unexpectedly, a strong typhoon hit Huan Sha Island.

Su Miao was also quite worried.

She could only pray in her heart.

That her sister-in-law’s family would be safe and sound.

-

Huan Sha Island, County Hospital.

After a deep sleep, Gu Jia Ning finally woke up.

The sleep was so long, it lasted from daytime till night.

When she opened her eyes, Sheng Zexi, who was napping beside her, also woke abruptly at the sound.

"Ningning, you’re awake."

"Mm."

Seeing the fatigue in the man’s eyes, along with the dark circles, Gu Jia Ning felt a pang of heartache, "I’m awake, get some more sleep."

"It’s alright."

Seeing the man insist on not sleeping more, Gu Jia Ning felt a bit helpless.

She knew Sheng Zexi was the one who had been working the hardest lately.

Not only did he have to be on the frontline defending against the strong typhoon and rescuing people, but now had to look after her and Tuantuan in the hospital too.

She glanced at Tuantuan, who was sleeping soundly in the small bed next to them.

It was obvious this man had taken great care of Tuantuan.

"Right, where’s Xingxing and Yueyue?"

"They were taken back to the military district by Sister-in-law Zhao."

In the afternoon, Zhao Gou Dan had woken up.

His condition wasn’t serious, so he could be discharged soon.

Hui Juan planned to take Gou Dan back and also visit Gu Jia Ning.

Knowing she was leaving, Sheng Zexi asked her to help take care of Xingxing and Yueyue too.

At the time, Hui Juan never expected that after mistakenly trusting a stranger, resulting in a near-incident with Xingxing and Yueyue, and her own son, Sheng Zexi was still willing to entrust Xingxing and Yueyue to her temporarily.

Hui Juan was deeply touched.

Secretly resolving to be vigilant in the future, ensuring no harm comes to the kids again.

Xingxing and Yueyue originally wanted to stay in the hospital with their mom and little brother.

But they understood they were still too young.

Currently, they couldn’t offer much help.

They knew returning to the safe military district and taking care of themselves was the biggest help to their parents.

Allowing their parents to focus on their work without worries.

So, Xingxing and Yueyue, along with Amber, went back with Sister-in-law Zhao.

But before that, Xingxing and Yueyue wanted to send Lin Shu back.

Sheng Zexi accompanied them to return Lin Shu to Qianye Village.

At that time, the people in Qianye Village were searching for Lin Shu.

When they found Lin Shu missing, they were very anxious.

Fearing that Lin Shu had wandered out during the strong typhoon and gotten into trouble, some accident,

Seeing Lin Shu being returned safely, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Except...

Looking at Yueyue, Lin Shu seemed unwilling to part, continuously murmuring "Tiantian, Tiantian."

Finally, Yueyue stepped up to hug Lin Shu, promising to come and see her soon.

Also advising her not to wander off and to wait at home for her return.

In Yueyue’s comforting presence, Lin Shu agreed.

Subsequently, after sending the kids back to the military district, Sheng Zexi also returned to the hospital.
