Fire Chief vs. Surgeon: A Tale of Relentless Pursuit
Chapter 280: Earthquake

Chapter 280: Chapter 280: Earthquake

One night, just passed like that.

The next day, dawn broke.

The child was the first to wake up.

He looked left and right.

Finally, he crawled over to Lu Jing:

"Aunt~" he called out softly.

Mainly because the little guy was quite scared of his Uncle Jiang, so he didn’t dare to call him.

But Lu Jing didn’t wake up. Instead, Jiang Ye was the first to wake, picking up the child:

"Shh, don’t disturb your aunt’s sleep. What do you want to do?"

The child hadn’t seen his parents all night and now he really missed them:

"Uncle Jiang, Yizhou wants to go back to mom and dad."

Jiang Ye raised an eyebrow but eventually agreed:

"Okay, Uncle Jiang will take you back."

"Mm, Uncle Jiang, muah."

Muah my foot!

But since the child initiated the kiss, Jiang Ye, being a grown man, just let it slide.

He carried the child off the bed, glanced at the time—it was not even six o’clock yet!

He’d drop the little guy off then come back and continue sleeping.

Throughout all this, Lu Jing never woke up.

Jiang Ye carried the child out of the room, finally exiting the log cabin and walked around to the back to another house and knocked on the door.

Knock knock knock...

"Who is it?"

The tone was clearly of someone who had been woken abruptly, sounding annoyed.

Ahem.

"Brother Yan, it’s me."

Then there was some movement inside, followed by footsteps coming downstairs.

A few seconds later, the door opened.

"Daddy!"

The child immediately lunged into his father’s arms.

Lu Yan quickly hugged him:

"Why have you come over so early?" he asked.

Jiang Ye was still feeling grumpy.

"Your son woke up and wanted to find you two."

Lu Yan hummed in response, not making a fuss:

"Alright, you can go back now."

Oh dear.

No drama?

Who has the energy for drama this early in the morning?

Better to go back and catch some more sleep, after all, it’s still early.

Jiang Ye cleared his throat, feeling quite speechless, but didn’t dare to contradict:

"Brother Yan, I’m leaving then."

"Mm!"

...

Jiang Ye left and came back without Lu Jing knowing, kept burrowing into the man as he always did.

It was a habit.

Jiang Ye casually hugged him, and the two of them held each other tightly.

"Sleep, it’s okay," he whispered softly.

Lu Jing didn’t know if he heard it or not, but he certainly slept even more soundly.

And this sleep was interrupted by a series of urgent phone calls.

Jiang Ye sat up, answering the phone:

"It’s me."

"Okay, I got it. I’m coming back immediately."

With all this commotion, Lu Jing of course woke up and heard some of it:

"What happened?" he asked.

The man paused for a moment before saying:

"Wife, I need to head back to Nanxi City now, there’s been a 6.6 magnitude earthquake in Fangbei City."

An earthquake?

Sleepiness instantly vanished.

"6.6 magnitude?"

"Mm."

That should be okay; the casualties shouldn’t be too severe.

At that moment, the man added:

"The earthquake also triggered a landslide."

Hisss~

As he spoke, the man had already rapidly put on his pants and shirt:

"Wife, I really have to go!"

Lu Jing wasn’t unreasonable at all and didn’t dare to delay:

"Okay, be safe!" he advised.

"Mm, I’ll contact you whenever I can, don’t worry."

Having those words did provide some reassurance.

"Okay."

In less than two minutes, the house was completely devoid of the man’s presence.

Lu Jing felt as if he was dreaming. When he woke up again, would the man still be by his side?

He pinched his thigh hard, clearly feeling the pain.

Okay, not a dream, absolutely real!

He lay on the bed feeling powerless, and for a moment, he didn’t know what to do.
