Chapter 1

When the earthquake suddenly hit the tourist spot, my husband and his first love were trapped on either side of the stone slabs.

"The one on the left has been crushed; if we don't rescue her soon, her life might be in danger. Save her first!"

The slab on top of me had just been pried open when a familiar voice suddenly sounded.

"No, save the other one first! She's more severely trapped."

The dust flew up in front of me, almost blocking my sight.

But I still recognized the person—it was my husband of seven years, Ye Chuan.

He looked anxious: "Trust me, I'm the architect of this hotel!"

I was in so much pain that even moaning was difficult. I tapped the ground with a stone to get the attention of the rescue team.

"But this patient can't even make a sound."

Ye Chuan glanced at me coldly:

"The structure won't even press on her; she always makes a fuss over nothing."

...

This tourist spot is quite secluded, with inconvenient transportation, and professional rescue hadn't arrived yet.

So, the ad-hoc rescue team had to rely on Ye Chuan's judgment and rescue the woman beside me first.

The stone on Song Wanwan got pried away, and I was in such pain that I almost couldn't breathe.

And Ye Chuan held her hand tightly, his eyes full of distress.

"It's okay now, you're safe."

His tender voice pierced my heart like a sharp thorn.

Lying in the rubble and gravel, I watched helplessly as my husband chased after her stretcher.

In the ruins, survivors reunited with their loved ones, crying in each other's arms.

But the closest person to me had already left, chasing after the first love of his youth.

He didn't even look back at me once as he left.

Leaving only a sentence: "Wanwan has to undergo surgery, and there's no one to accompany her," and walked away.

I was barely alive, my lower body already numb, and I unknowingly fell asleep.

Until I was woken up by loud voices.

"We can't dig this pillar forcefully; without this support, it'll collapse faster!"

"Where's Mr. Ye? Isn't he the hotel architect? Call him back quickly and have him think of a solution! This place is going to collapse!"

The panicked voices around me brought a bit of clarity to my mind.

In front of me, several doctors and nurses were holding an IV bottle for me.

While infusing me, they comforted me.

Telling me not to pass out.

They said I had held on for so long already; just hold on a little longer.

They also told me that the hotel's architect was nearby, and as soon as he came, they'd be able to get me out immediately after explaining the situation.

"Hasn't Mr. Ye come yet? Her blood pressure is down to thirty; if we don't find the bleeding point and stop it, she's going to go into shock!"

The doctor in front of me was almost in tears from the urgency.

After what seemed an eternity, someone finally ran over, gasping for breath.

"Mr. Ye is still in the hospital; the Wanwan rescued this morning just got out of danger. Mr. Ye is worried and is still at the hospital."

"What's he doing there? He's not a doctor; staying there is useless! Someone's about to die here!"

"Go quickly and call him over!"

"Oxygen tank! Quickly connect the oxygen tank! The patient is in shock!"

The doctor tightly held my hand, his eyes filled with urgency and pity: "Miss, you have to hold on. You've made it through the day; just a few more minutes won't matter. All of us in the rescue team are with you! You must hold on!"

I struggled to open my eyes.

The rescue lights were shining directly on me, surrounded by faces unfamiliar but concerned.

She's right; I must hold on.

So many people are with me...

A few rescue workers were intensely discussing the plan to save me.

The doctors and nurses were constantly taking my blood pressure, giving me oxygen...

Just as I was about to pass out, someone in the distance shouted excitedly, "Mr. Ye is here! We'll be saved!"

Everyone simultaneously looked at Ye Chuan.

And Ye Chuan, taking two steps at a time, ran towards me:

"Shen Zhiyi! I'm here to save you! Hold on, Wanwan lost a lot of blood, and the blood bank is exhausted. She's a rare blood type, and only your O-type blood can save her!"
