Chapter 385: The Heaviest Darkness Before Dawn

Su Wan felt a sharp pain in her heart. She was stunned on the spot. She could not believe that Jiang Xuecheng was gone just like that.

She hugged him, and instantly, his faint but steady heartbeat comforted Su Wan!

Jiang Xuecheng was still alive!

He was alive!

Su Wan was stunned for two seconds before she came back to her senses. She sniffed and carefully placed Jiang Xuecheng in the back seat of the car. She opened the car door and sat in the driver’s seat.

She did not know what was going on with Jiang Xuecheng, but hewas very cold right now. His entire body was very cold.

Maybe he just caught a cold?

It would be better to go back and soak in hot water...

Su Wan knew that this was the most unlikely conclusion, but she still comforted herself in her heart.

She was extremely regretful. Why did she come here with Jiang Xuecheng to watch the meteor shower? If she had known this would happen, she would have definitely locked herself and Jiang Xuecheng in the room.

Su Wan inserted the car key into the keyhole, and beads of sweat formed on her forehead.

Su Wan was a person with a driver’s license, but she never had the chance to drive on the road.

Suddenly, the words that Jiang Xuecheng had told her with a faint smile rang in her mind – the more afraid she was, the more she had to overcome it.

Wasn’t the situation in front of her now such situation?

The meteor shower in the Lyra constellation had completely ended and it was all dark around her. There were no street lamps, only starlight and moonlight.

Su Wan turned on the car’s high beam based on her memory from a long time ago.

She started the engine and slowly drove toward the island ring road. She was very afraid of cars, and she was even more afraid of driving at night. Moreover, each turn was harder than the previous turn.

When Jiang Xuecheng was driving this car, he seemed to be very familiar with it. However, Su Wan felt the danger of falling at any time while driving.

However, Su Wan had no choice but to drive. She didn’t even have a communication tool now. If she wanted to contact the outside world, she had to go back to the castle first.

Moreover, Jiang Xuecheng’s condition was too worrying.

Su Wan took a few deep breaths. She didn’t know what kind of willpower she had, but she managed to drive to the southwest corner at the speed of the second gear.

After arriving, Su Wan’s forehead was already drenched in sweat, but the fear in her heart was temporarily suppressed.

Because there was something more urgent waiting for her.

Su Wan opened the car door and used all her strength to drag Jiang Xuecheng out.

She carried Jiang Xuecheng on her shoulder and dragged him forward.

The courtyard under the moonlight was quiet and gloomy. The blue waves in the swimming pool reflected the figures of Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng. The place was lonely and desolate.

Su Wan wiped the sweat from her forehead. She opened the door and put Jiang Xuecheng on the sofa.

Su Wan was glad that there was a bathroom on the first floor. Otherwise, it would be impossible for her to drag this man up the stairs with her petite body.

Su Wan went alone to fill the bathtub with hot water. Then, she rummaged through the cabinets to find her phone and sent a message to Ah Si.

At this moment, the first person she thought of was Ah Si.

“Something happened to Xuecheng. Come quickly.”

It was about four o’clock in the morning. Su Wan felt that Ah Si should still be asleep at this moment. She did not know when Ah Si would be able to see her message.

However, Su Wan did not have time to pay attention to her phone now. She quickly walked to the sofa and shifted her attention to Jiang Xuecheng.

Jiang Xuecheng lay quietly on the sofa as if he was asleep. His originally furrowed brows had relaxed and his expression was calm.

When Su Wan saw him in this state, her heart felt like it was being squeezed by someone. It was so painful that she could hardly breathe.

Tears welled up in Su Wan’s beautiful eyes again. She bit her lips and knew that now was not the time to be sad. Su Wan supported and dragged Jiang Xuecheng to the bathroom.

The temperature here was very high, and the curling steam stung Su Wan’s eyes.

Su Wan put Jiang Xuecheng into the bathtub and helped him take off those cumbersome clothes.

She saw that Jiang Xuecheng’s face was still pale under the steaming hot water.

Su Wan’s heart tightened. She stretched out her delicate hand and touched Jiang Xuecheng’s forehead.

The icy cold temperature seemed to be ridiculing Su Wan.

Jiang Xuecheng was still not breathing. Su Wan’s body weakened and she almost couldn’t stand.

She could no longer suppress the fear in her heart. The rationality that she had been holding on to, collapsed at this moment. The anxiety was like a tidal wave that had broken through a dam, almost drowning her.

Fortunately, Jiang Xuecheng’s heartbeat was still lively and stable.

Su Wan brought Jiang Xuecheng out of the bathtub and helped him dry his body. She wrapped him up in his pyjamas and dragged him back to the guest room on the first floor.

Jiang Xuecheng lay quietly under the blanket. Su Wan sat next to him and looked down at him.

Her eyes were filled with uncontrollable bitterness. Hot tears soon poured out of her eyes.

One drop after another fell on the sheets like sudden rain on a summer day. Occasionally, some fell on Jiang Xuecheng’s face.

Su Wan reached out and caressed Jiang Xuecheng’s handsome face. She sobbed slightly. It was as if her throat had been burned by something. The pain was unbearable.

If she were to recall this honeymoon which had taken a sharp turn for the worse in the future, she was afraid that the memory would not be sweet anymore.

She clenched the phone in her hand tightly and waited nervously for the news from S City.

At this moment, Su Wan did not dare to tell the Jiang family about Jiang Xuecheng’s current condition.

What should she tell the Jiang family?

Should she tell them that their son or grandson, her husband, had become like this at this moment?

A strong sense of helplessness overwhelmed Su Wan. All kinds of repressed emotions surfaced in her heart, and Su Wan’s face turned even paler.

She looked at Jiang Xuecheng in a trance, and the pain in her heart was indescribable.

‘No matter what, Xuecheng, you must be fine...’

‘I’ve made a wish on the meteor that you’re going to accompany me for the rest of my life. I’m standing here, so how can you leave first?’

‘You promised me that your life would always be one day longer than mine...’

This man was too good. He was so good that all the men in the world paled in comparison to him. He was so good that Su Wan only had him in her eyes.

The night before dawn was the darkest period Su Wan had ever spent.

The heavy darkness almost suffocated Su Wan.

When Jiang Xuecheng met with an accident back then, Su Wan had thought of a question.

What would she do if he died?

They had just started this life together. How could the heaven bear to take away their happiness?

Su Wan did not know what kind of strange illness Jiang Xuecheng was suffering from. There were many kinds of medicine in the castle, but she did not dare to use any of them on Jiang Xuecheng.

Su Wan gripped the corner of the blanket weakly, with tears welling up in her eyes. She sniffed and finally took out her phone and started to call the Jiang family.

Su Wan wanted to call Luo Xiuxiu’s number, but before she could finish typing, she thought that the old lady must have gone to bed early, so she immediately called another person.

She called Jiang Xuecheng’s mother, Xu Ziyao.

Su Wan waited anxiously, but she did not get through to Xu Ziyao either, indicating that her phone had been switched off.
