It has nothing to do with me!
When Charles Yin heard that Cecilia Gu was hit by a car while saving someone, his mind went blank. He even forgot to say anything, dropped what he was holding, and rushed out the door!
Little A had never seen the CEO so flustered. Years of experience told him: Something must have happened to Mrs. Yin! After all his time with the CEO, only Mrs. Yin could make him act so out of character!
Little A immediately said: "The meeting is paused, please wait for further notice."
After saying this, Little A rushed out after the CEO.
Charles Yin didn’t wait for Little A to catch up—he jumped into the car and sped off toward the place Rona Muir mentioned!
Charles Yin couldn’t even understand why he felt so anxious. When he heard Cecilia Gu was hurt, for the first time, he didn’t worry about the child—he worried about Cecilia!
Cecilia Gu lay on the hospital bed, an IV drip attached to her arm.
Mrs. Han sat by her side, stammering, "Thank you so much! If it weren’t for you, I might..."
"It’s nothing. Even if it wasn’t you, I would have helped anyone in that situation." Cecilia Gu looked a little pale but comforted Mrs. Han.
Ah... okay, okay, my car is nearby, I’ll get it right away! Mrs. Han was so frightened seeing Cecilia Gu on the ground that she nearly fainted!
She recognized Cecilia Gu and knew she was still pregnant!
Rona, my stomach hurts so much... please save my baby... Cecilia Gu clutched Rona Muir’s hand, pleading, 'Nothing can happen to my child...'
At this moment, the only person Cecilia Gu could rely on was this woman she’d only just met a few hours ago!
Okay, okay, don’t worry, you and the baby will be fine. Rona Muir replied immediately.
Mrs. Han’s car arrived at that moment. Rona Muir helped Cecilia Gu into the car, and they sped toward the nearest hospital!
As soon as they arrived at the hospital, Cecilia Gu was rushed into the emergency room.
Only then did Rona Muir have time to call Charles Yin and report everything that had happened!
Charles Yin, listen up! It’s not that I didn’t take care of your wife!
It was your wife who ran out on her own!
It's got nothing to do with me!
The moment Charles Yin heard that Cecilia Gu had been hit by a car while trying to save someone, his mind went completely blank. He even forgot to say anything, dropped what he was holding, and rushed out the door!
A had never seen the CEO so panicked before. Years of experience told him: something must have happened to Mrs. Yin! After all this time working with the CEO, only Mrs. Yin could make him act so irrationally!
A immediately announced, “The meeting is paused. Please wait for further notice.”
As soon as he finished speaking, A hurriedly chased after the CEO.
Charles didn't wait for A to catch up. He jumped straight into the car and sped off toward the location Rona Muir had mentioned!
At this moment, Charles Yin didn’t even understand why he felt so anxious. When he heard Cecilia was in trouble, for the first time ever, he didn’t worry about the child—he was worried about Cecilia herself!
Cecilia lay on the hospital bed, an IV drip attached to her arm.
Mrs. Han sat nearby, rambling emotionally, “Thank you so much! If it weren’t for you, I don’t know what would have happened…”
“It’s really nothing. Even if it wasn’t you, I would have helped anyone in that situation,” Cecilia replied, her face a little pale, trying to comfort Mrs. Han.
Just then, Rona Muir walked in holding a medical form.
Rona didn’t recognize Mrs. Han, so she didn’t bother being polite. “Easy for you to say! Do you have any idea how dangerous today was? If that careless driver had hit your stomach instead of your leg, do you think the baby would’ve survived?”
“Rona…” Cecilia, worried Rona’s words would upset Mrs. Han, quickly grabbed Rona’s sleeve with her free hand and gave it a gentle tug.
Suddenly, someone burst in like a whirlwind, eyes only for Cecilia. He rushed over, grabbed Cecilia’s hand, and anxiously asked, “Are you… Are you okay?”
Charles Yin’s narrow eyes couldn’t hide his worry and unease. He didn’t even notice the two other people standing nearby.
“I’m fine…” Cecilia shot Charles a look, trying to signal: Look to the side! Look to the side! That’s Mrs. Han!
Charles thought Cecilia wanted him to check her belly. The next second, he pressed his handsome face against her stomach, listened for a while, then said in confusion, “I don’t hear anything…”
Rona Muir turned away speechlessly.
So even the always wise and sharp CEO Yin could be this clueless!
At this moment, Mrs. Han finally understood—these two weren’t at all like the rumors.
If Charles Yin didn’t truly care about Cecilia, he wouldn’t have done something so childish.
Mrs. Han gave a gentle cough.
Only then did Charles realize someone else was there. He turned around, surprised, “Mrs. Han? What are you doing here?”
Mrs. Han looked embarrassed. “It was Mrs. Yin who saved me. I’m so sorry—my carelessness caused her to get hurt.”
Charles never expected Cecilia had gotten hurt saving Mrs. Han!
“Please don’t blame yourself, Mrs. Han. My wife saving you was just fate. Are you hurt at all? Do you need a checkup?” Charles replied politely, making it clear he wasn’t asking for anything in return.
Charles’s attitude made Mrs. Han very pleased.
“I’m fine. You two should talk. If you need anything, just ask,” Mrs. Han said, noticing that Charles hadn’t let go of Cecilia’s hand since entering the room. Her eyes flashed with satisfaction. “I’ll take my leave now!”
Charles wanted to escort Mrs. Han, but she stopped him, having A do it instead.
At that moment, Rona Muir started to understand.
This chapter isn't over yet ^.^, please click next page to continue reading!
The wealthy middle-aged woman Cecilia risked her life to save turned out to be someone very important.
Rona looked at Cecilia and Charles, curiosity flickering in her gaze.
But Rona also knew what to ask and what to keep to herself.
Whatever was going on between Cecilia and Charles was their own business.
Sure enough, Charles looked up and said to Rona, “Ms. Muir, thank you so much for helping take care of Cecilia today.”
“Alright, as long as you’re not blaming me, I’m satisfied. No need for thanks. You two talk, I’ll head out. If you need anything, call me.” Rona said to Charles, then nodded to Cecilia, grabbed her bag, and left the room.
When only she and Charles were left in the room, Cecilia realized Charles was still holding her hand.
Cecilia curled her fingers and pulled her hand back.
Charles’s gaze lingered on his palm…
Is she always going to keep her distance from me?
“Mrs. Han forgave me…” Cecilia started to say, but Charles cut her off, “Who allowed you to do something like that?”
“Huh?” Cecilia looked up in confusion, meeting his fiery gaze.
Why was he angry?
Sure, she’d taken a risk, but she’d earned Mrs. Han’s gratitude, hadn’t she?
With Mrs. Han’s help, the president’s side…
Oh, right.
He was angry because she’d risked the baby. That’s why he was so furious.
Of course. How could she forget? Both Charles and the Yin family cared deeply about this child…
“I’m sorry…” Cecilia lowered her gaze, missing the pain in Charles’s eyes.
“You’re not going anywhere for the next few days. Stay in the hospital and rest!” Charles said, seeing Cecilia lower her eyes. His anger flared up uncontrollably.
God knows, the moment he heard Cecilia had been hit by a car, his heart just emptied out…
He’d never lost his composure in front of his subordinates before!
He was especially angry that Cecilia risked her own safety to please the president and Mrs. Han. If anyone should handle that, it’s him—not Cecilia!
Seeing Charles truly angry, Cecilia bit her lip and didn’t dare say a word.
Charles wanted to say more, but when he looked up and saw Cecilia’s aggrieved little face, all his words vanished.
Just then, A knocked on the door and walked in. “CEO, Mrs. Yin.”
“Speak.” Charles turned his back to Cecilia, asking A, “What did the doctor say?”
“The doctor said Mrs. Yin and the baby are fine. The reckless driver only hit Mrs. Yin’s leg, not her stomach.” A replied concisely. “The person who hit Mrs. Yin is one of our subsidiary’s business partners.”
“Oh? Which company?” Charles’s eyes darkened, a storm brewing.
Almost hurt his woman and still wants to do business with Yin Enterprises?
“Zilong Biotech, a supplier of face cream ingredients. They won the bid this year, beating last year’s supplier. Zilong was acquired by the Mo Consortium, assets around a billion. Their GM is in S City, negotiating further cooperation and meeting Max Mo, the Mo Consortium’s CEO.” A had already gathered all the info.
No wonder A was Charles Yin’s best assistant—he knew exactly what to do from just one look at Charles’s face.
Max Mo?
Charles’s eyes narrowed.
That guy—the other top bachelor in the Chinese business world—didn’t expect to cross paths so soon!
“Max Mo already heard about Mrs. Yin getting hurt. His assistant called, saying he wants to come to the hospital and apologize in person.” A continued, “He seems to want to talk to you directly.”
To meet Cecilia?
Charles’s gaze darkened.
For some reason, Charles really didn’t like other men meeting Cecilia.
Especially Max Mo, his equal in every way.
