Chapter 708: Chapter 708: Fortunately

Mr. Yan did not even have time to glance back or respond to her. He waved his arm and swam towards his precious son.

Mr. Yan had never felt more grateful for his exceptional physical strength and courage than at this moment. Or perhaps, everyone in such a life or death situation could, like him, tap into the full potential of their body and rapidly charge towards their child on the opposite stone wall.

The nearer he got, the tighter his heart clenched. His baby boy, originally a bit chubby, was now pressed against the stone wall, looking so weak and helpless...

Just as he was about to reach his son, he raised his hand to wipe his face harshly before extending his trembling hand towards his boy.

The first thing he felt was the icy cold arm hanging by his baby’s side.

Mr. Yan’s heart was as cold as ice. He quickly moved his palm to his baby’s small wrist, carefully pressing down. When he felt the weak but definitely beating pulse beneath his fingertips, tears surged down his cheeks.

To his recollection, this seemed to be the first time he had cried since becoming an adult.

"Ying’er, our baby... he...he just fainted..."

In order not to worry Zhu Qianying, Mr. Yan said in a subdued voice. Even such a strong man as he had a shaky voice at this moment.

Although he wasn’t sure what injuries his son had sustained, at least his son was still alive!

Mr. Yan, somewhat relieved, was holding onto a protruding rock on the stone wall with one hand while starting to pat his son’s body with the other.

He cocked his head slightly, directing the flashlight from his son’s face to his body.

It wasn’t until he looked carefully that he saw a rope tied around his son’s body, with the other end wrapped around a protruding rock on the stone wall.

With trembling hands, he carefully cradled his ice-cold son into his arms. By this time, Zhu Qianying had also swum over. One hand clinging to the stone wall, she anxiously approached and cupped her son’s face in her hand.

His baby boy’s eyes were tightly shut, his long eyelashes drooping weakly, his face pale. His small face was marred with multiple abrasion scars. Following immersion in water, shocking purple-red patches adorned his originally tender face.

"My darling..."

Zhu Qianying choked out his name softly, burying her face against his, and then she kissed his cold lips. She sniffed, turning around to untie the rope from the rock.

After completely untangling their son from the rock, Mr. Yan pulled Zhu Qianying into a tight embrace, their son’s frigid body nestled between them.

They hoped that before the arrival of the rescue doctors and team, they could warm their son’s body with their own body heat.

While waiting for the arrival of the rescue team, Mr. Yan and Zhu Qianying gave their son a quick check. From what they could see, despite the bruises, they seemed to be mere abrasions. There were no serious contusions or fractures or other life-threatening injuries.

Though their son didn’t show any reaction after they held him, his breathing was steady. Clearly, he had fainted due to extreme weakness.

At that moment, despite feeling distressed, Zhu Qianying’s suspended heart finally lowered back to earth.

Just as the couple finished their preliminary check on their son, amplified shouts from the Search and Rescue Team echoed from outside the cave opening.

"Mr. Yan, are you in there?"

Fearing that it could frighten their unconscious son, Mr. Yan gestured for Zhu Qianying to cover their son’s ears before responding loudly.

"We’re here!"

Mr. Yan’s voice was much louder than Zhu Qianying’s and soon, beams of intense light were pointed in their direction.

As the sound of motors grew closer, a rescue boat carrying team members and a doctor swiftly approached. Their hands and feet moved quickly, lifting the family of three onto the skin boat.

The doctor rapidly helped their son out of his wet clothes and wrapped him snugly in a dry, soft blanket.

Once the boat was outside the cave and they were back in daylight, Zhu Qianying and Mr. Yan kept their eyes unwaveringly on their son’s battered face.

The rescue doctor was very aware of the parents’ concerns so upon the return of regular lighting, he took out his stethoscope, listened to their son’s organ sounds, checked his pulse, examined his eyes, and then heaved a gentle breath.

Mr. Yan and Zhu Qianying, both thinking that the examination was over, looked at him anxiously. He did not utter a word, but instead prodded around their son’s body and limbs before covering him with the blanket again. He then lifted his eyes to look at Mr. Yan and Zhu Qianying.

"Mr. Yan, Madam Yan, your child just fainted from exhaustion. There doesn’t seem to be any major injuries on his body. Children are very resilient. With good rest and recuperation, he will be fine."

Only after hearing this did Zhu Qianying and Mr. Yan finally put their hearts at ease.

The doctor instructed his assistant to start an IV drip with nutrients for their son. He then glanced at the wet clothing removed from their son, his gaze landing on the rope. Looking slightly surprised, he said,

"Where did he find this rope? If it hadn’t been for the rope, the consequences..."

Everyone present, including Mr. Yan and Zhu Qianying, understood that if the rope hadn’t secured their son to the stone wall, their unconscious son’s fate would have been unthinkable.

"I put it in his backpack..."

Zhu Qianying was a very cautious person. When she took her son on trips to the suburbs, she would always bring emergency supplies in her backpack. Because her son was visiting the dangerous Forest Park this time, Zhu Qianying purposely put a rope and some other small but potentially useful items in his backpack. She even made him wear bright-colored clothes to attract attention.

Little had she thought that these good habits would provide her son an opportunity to save himself.

After hearing the conversation, Mr. Yan put his arm around Zhu Qianying’s shoulder, gently kissing her on the cheek, "Thankfully..."

As for what they were thankful for, they both knew it in their hearts.

Thankfully, they had brought Star with them. Because of his close bond with his master, Star was able to accurately pinpoint their son’s location.

Thankfully, Zhu Qianying was meticulous and had prepared enough self-rescue items for their son, allowing him to hold on till they arrived.

Thankfully, their son had frequently travelled and adventured with Zhu Qianying since he was young, allowing him to save himself during a crisis, despite his tender age.

Thankfully...

And all these things added together, resulted in their cherished son who, after such a catastrophe, was still alive and unscathed.

At this moment, Mr. Yan suddenly remembered the fortune teller’s words when they went to the temple to pray for a peace charm. At that time, both of them had scoffed at his words, but thinking about it now, sent a chill down his spine.

"Ying’er, once our son is better, we must remember to go back to the temple and fulfill our vow!"
