Chapter 304: She’s Leaving

Chapter 304: She's Leaving

Despite Yunzhe's best efforts to develop a treatment for the blood condition, the results were minimal. Moreover, Huo Tingying had been feeling self-destructive since his recent separation from Yun Mu and was not very cooperative, leading to more frequent episodes of the illness.

Today, he almost had an episode during a meeting. He managed to hold on until it ended and returned to his office.

He quickly took a few pills from a bottle and swallowed them, cold sweat dripping down his pale, gaunt face onto the desk.

At that moment, his phone rang melodically. It was Feng Shuo calling.

Huo Tingying answered weakly, and Feng Shuo's voice came through, slightly anxious.

"Young Master, Young Lady has just packed her things and left for the airport with Wen Qingqing. Their flight is in two hours."

She really was leaving.

His mind replayed their past moments together, but now they were strangers.

Huo Tingying's fingers turned white as he gripped the phone, his voice hoarse. "I understand."

As he prepared to hang up, Feng Shuo's anxious voice continued, "But I found out that this was all arranged by Yunzhe. Young Lady isn't just going there to shoot an advertisement. Once she arrives, there will be numerous big-budget film scripts waiting for her in M Country, and she won't have time to return to the capital for at least half a year. Young Master, are you really going to let her go?"

Huo Tingying's body stiffened.

With bloodshot eyes, he suddenly laughed softly. "Let her go."

"Young Master, you'll regret this!"

If his illness remains untreated, he only had three months left.

But Yun Mu would be gone for at least six months.

In other words, he wouldn't even see her one last time.

He had truly lost her.

Lost her completely.

He suddenly felt exhausted, unable to hear what Feng Shuo was saying anymore. He just felt drained.

He wanted to sleep, to rest.

At least in his dreams, she would still be by his side.

"Young Master, if you go to the airport now, you can still make it. Young Master, are you still listening? Young Master! Young Master!"

Suddenly, there was a loud thud on the other end of the line, followed by silence from Huo Tingying.

Feng Shuo immediately realized something was wrong, panicked, and hung up the call. He then called the secretary and contacted Huo Chun.

Huo Tingying's illness couldn't be revealed yet; someone needed to watch over him. Feng Shuo couldn't get there in time, so he had to send Huo Chun.

When Huo Chun arrived at the hospital with Huo Tingying, his face was already ashen.

Lunansen, with a grave expression, wheeled him into the emergency room and told Huo Chun to wait outside.

Huo Chun watched the red light above the emergency room, her heart racing.

What if Huo Tingying didn't make it?

She finally decided to call Feng Shuo. "Where is Yun Mu?"

...

At the airport.

Yun Mu wore sunglasses and a mask, pulling a small suitcase into the airport.

Wen Qingqing brought a lot of luggage, worried about forgetting anything that might cause trouble for Yun Mu.

Yunzhe came to see them off. Yun Mu turned to him and said, "This is far enough. It's not like I'm not coming back. Shooting an ad will only take a few days."

Yunzhe smiled lightly. "I've been to M Country before; the scenery is beautiful, and there are plenty of handsome men. You don't need to rush back this time; you can take your time and enjoy yourself. The entertainment industry there is thriving, so if you find any good opportunities, you should seize them."

Yun Mu smiled. "Handsome men are fine, but I've seen enough to be immune. However, if there's a chance to make money, I'll grab it. Who would turn down money?"

Without Huo Tingying's support, she needed to earn more.

Seeing Yun Mu's composed demeanor, Yunzhe felt relieved and urged, "Go ahead and board. When you come back, everything will be different."

Yun Mu nodded, waved goodbye, and walked in with Wen Qingqing.

Watching Yun Mu disappear into the crowd, Yunzhe finally relaxed.

He hoped everything went smoothly and kept Yun Mu there.

Turning around, a man in black approached and reported, "Master, everything is arranged. Once Miss Yun goes, she won't have time to return to the capital for at least half a year."

Yunzhe remained expressionless, his face cold.

"But what if she doesn't board the plane?"

The man continued, "Don't worry, Master. Huo Tingying was just rushed to Lunansen Hospital for emergency treatment. He can't come here to stop her."

"He had another episode? Let's go see him."

Yunzhe stepped forward and got into the car.

At least, he hadn't thought about truly giving up on Huo Tingying.

Despite how jealous he was that this man could receive Yun Mu's love.

...

Yun Mu and Wen Qingqing had passed through security and were about to board the plane.

But at that moment, several bodyguards rushed forward, blocking their path.

"What are you doing?" Wen Qingqing exclaimed in surprise.

Yun Mu stepped forward, guarding Wen Qingqing protectively behind her with a wary expression.

At this moment, the bodyguards parted to make way.

Huo Chun, her face full of anger, walked over in high heels. "Yun Mu, you actually left so casually!"

Yun Mu looked at Huo Chun, a cold glint flashing in her clear eyes. "What do you mean by this?"

She didn’t recall ever offending this girl; their previous interactions had been quite pleasant.

Seeing Yun Mu’s indifferent demeanor, and thinking of Huo Tingying, who was still lying on the operating table, uncertain of life or death, Huo Chun’s anger intensified!

Even though she knew Yun Mu was unaware, she couldn’t help but feel furious.

"Yun Mu, Huo Tingying is now in the hospital. Can you really leave like this without even saying goodbye?"

What?

Yun Mu’s expression froze as she looked up at Huo Chun. "What happened to Huo Tingying?"

"He fainted from anger when he heard you were leaving, and he’s still in the hospital undergoing treatment!"

Yun Mu’s face changed, but then she sneered.

Fainted from anger just because he heard she was leaving?

How could that be possible!

He was the one who left her first, wasn’t he?

"Huo Chun, we are already divorced. If he fainted, you should go find his current girlfriend, not me. I need to board the plane, please move aside."

Huo Chun’s eyebrows furrowed. "How heartless can you be! You’re just going to shoot an ad; what difference does it make if you go today or tomorrow? Why can’t you see him once? Do you know he hasn’t been sleeping or eating properly? Are you hoping he’ll torture himself to death?"

Yun Mu’s pupils constricted.

Not sleeping or eating?

No wonder he looked so much thinner every time she saw him.

Has this man gone mad?

Seeing Yun Mu’s expression soften, Huo Chun immediately said, "Please, Yun Mu. Just go see him once. Can you try to persuade him?"

Yun Mu’s eyes showed a mix of emotions. After a moment of contemplation, she said, "Fine, I’ll go with you."

Then she turned to Wen Qingqing and said, "Wait for me at home. Let’s put off the trip to M country for now."

Wen Qingqing nodded. "Okay, call me if anything happens."

Watching Yun Mu’s departing figure, a sense of foreboding arose in her heart.

This time, Yun Mu might never make it to M country.
