Young Master Mo, Are You Done Kissing?

Chapter 413: She Laid Quietly in the Water, Unmoving

“Mr. Mo, you haven’t been coming home, and Madam is gradually losing weight. If the situation persists, I’m afraid I won’t be able to keep this under wraps. Elder Mo still thinks that the two of you are happily living together. This... if something were to happen to Madam, I wouldn’t be able to bear the consequences...”

After the call was hung up, Mo Jingshen abruptly recalled the night three days ago, at the bar across Jia Lan Bar.

Ji Nuan was awakened by the freezing cold. She wasn’t sure when she had fallen asleep, or how long she had been sleeping in the bathtub. All she felt was cold.

She instinctively knew that she could not continue sleeping like this and tried to raise her arm to hold onto the side of the bathtub. However, a wave of aching pain came from her cramping calves. The pain was abrupt and sharp, causing her to tremble under the water. Her body stiffened, and she no longer had the energy to move.

How long had she been sleeping in here?

Why was it so cold?

She moved her fingers under the water; they felt very numb and stiff. She wanted to turn her head over to reach for her phone but recalled that both her phone and bag were left by the bedside.

She had no choice and could only continue her difficult attempts to reach for the side of the tub. However, the extreme pain from her leg left made her unable even to shout, much less move her arm.

It wasn’t easy for her to raise her five fingers, but they immediately returned to their original position. Simply attempting to shift her fingers had consumed all of her strength.

So cold...

The pain in her legs had come abruptly and was weakening her mental state bit by bit.

It was as though if it hadn’t been for the abrupt pain from her cramping legs, she would never have woken up.

Ji Nuan felt very dizzy. Amidst the darkness came a flood of endless fear and loneliness. She felt as though she was about to slip into an abyss and was unable to form a grip around anything.

The hotel was extremely luxurious; even the bathrooms had its own air-conditioner installed. It was filling the room with extremely cold air.

Ji Nuan could no longer move. She leaned against the bathtub, staring at the towel placed on a shelf around two meters away. She felt that the distance was difficult to cross.

Wave after wave of pain came from her calf. The pain caused her entire body to almost convulse. When she lowered her head, she could see the green nerve on the side of her calf trembling; it was indeed a cramp.

She continued sitting in the water. It took her a long while to process that the water was actually cold. How long has she actually been sitting here? She remembered that the water had been hot when she fell asleep...

Even if she wished to get up, there was no way she could do it. She stared at the air-conditioner on the wall, watching the temperature displayed. Amidst her daze, the darkness began to win over the consciousness brought about by the pain in her calves. Her awareness gradually faded as she fell into darkness.

No matter how many calls he made to Ji Nuan, they were unanswered. As Mo Jingshen approached Ji Nuan’s room door, his screen displayed that a call was still being made. He could hear a familiar ringtone playing inside the room, but the call was still not picked up.

“Open the door.” He subconsciously held his phone in a tight grip and commanded with a heavy voice.

The hotel staff rushed to bring the room card over. As she scanned the car, she explained: “When this miss checked into the room, she left us with instructions to not disturb her. That is why we haven’t been going in for the past two days. Furthermore, she has also paid the necessary room fees, which is why...”

Mo Jingshen paid her no mind. The moment the door was unlocked, he stepped in.

The instant the door was opened, they could feel that the freezing temperature inside was sufficient to cover their bodies with goosebumps.

This was a standard-sized hotel room. With one glance, they could see everything. Ji Nuan’s silhouette was not on the bed. Only her phone and bag were there.

The man’s tall figure immediately entered the bathroom.

The freezing cold in the bathroom could be felt in their bones. Mo Jingshen’s heart thumped heavily for a moment. The ominous feeling instantly grew intense, and the moment he turned his head, he saw the pale Ji Nuan lying in the bathtub with a greenish-purple lip.

She laid there quietly in the water, unmoving.

“Aiya, what on earth happened...” the hotel staff was a middle-aged lady who had noticed the freezing temperature the moment she stepped in. When she turned her head, she subconsciously cried out in shock.

Mo Jingshen had already bent down to support Ji Nuan out of the water. Thankfully, the bathtub was thoughtfully designed and was able to support her head well. Otherwise, she could have drowned the moment she lost her consciousness in the tub.

“Ji Nuan!” When the man supported her up, he felt her ice-cold body; the freezing temperature made it seemed as though she was no longer alive. There was not even a small hint of warmth remaining.

Ji Nuan’s head slanted forward. Her entire body was icy-cold, but as her head came into contact with the man’s arm, his brows knitted tightly from the burning heat emitted from her temple. He decisively grabbed the towel from the side and carried her out of the water. As he wrapped her in the towel and held her tightly in his arms, he turned his eyes onto the frightened, middle-aged lady by the bathroom door: “Call an ambulance! Quickly!”
