Vomited Blood
“Mom, why hasn’t Dad come up yet?”
Although Xiao Jiu usually hated Fu Tingyu, he only hated him for always sticking to his mother.
He still loved his father.
He could only watch the man fall, but he could not save him. There was no way people could understand the pain without experiencing it personally.
As for her, she had experienced it twice.
Qin Shu’s body trembled violently. However, as a mother, how could she comfort her young son if she was not strong enough?

“Your father… I will find him. I will definitely find him. He will definitely be fine.”
Xiao Jiu raised his little face which was full of tears. Her chubby little hands randomly wiped the tears on her cheeks. He asked her very seriously, “Really, Mom? Dad will come back, right?”
Qin Shu looked at her son crying until his snot and tears were coming out. She wiped his tears and snot with her sleeve. Qin Shu felt terribly sorry for him. She nodded hard and said, “Yes, he will come back. He can’t bear to leave us behind.”
‘There was always a spare first-aid kit in the car.
Shi Yan rushed over with the first-aid kit. He put the first-aid kit on the ground and opened it. Then, he took out the gauze, hemostatic medicine, disinfectant, and other supplies that he would need later.
“Madam Fu, give me your hand. I’ll bandage your wound.”
After Shi Yan’s reminder, Xiao Jiu remembered the bloody hand that he had seen just now. He hurriedly picked up Qin Shu’s hand and saw that her originally fair hand was covered in blood. Her beautiful fingernails were protruding outwards, and her flesh was a mess.
Xiao Jiu, who had just stopped crying, started crying again. ‘Mommy, is it very painful?”
“Xiao Jiu, don’t cry. It won’t hurt after we are done bandaging it.” In order to comfort her son, Qin Shu handed the injured hand to Shi Yan.
Shi Yan could not help feeling a twinge in his heart on seeing Qin Shu’s bloody hand again. The moment Lord Fu fell, he saw Qin Shu jump down without any hesitation. This was followed by their heart-wrenching cries coming up from the bottom of the cliff.
He couldn’t even imagine how she had climbed up with this hand.
He held a cotton swab dipped in disinfectant and carefully wiped the wound, afraid that it would hurt her.
“Mommy, I’ll blow on it for you. Grandma said that it won’t hurt anymore.” Xiao Jiu lowered his head and leaned closer to blow gently.
Qin Shu’s heart softened again. Xiao Jiu was a sensible boy. How could she have acted so selfishly?
She raised her right hand and caressed Xiao Jiu’s head. “It doesn’t hurt anymore.”
Ye Luo reacted quickly. He brought the most advanced rescue tools and had sent for a boat to help with the rescue effort. Also, these professional sailors were far better at swimming than ordinary people.
Qin Shu saw that everyone had arrived, but Shi Yan had not finished bandaging, She was a little impatient. “Give it to me. I’ll bandage it myself.”
She snatched the hemostatic medicine from Shi Yan’s hand and casually sprinkled it on the wound. Then, she picked up a bandage and quickly bandaged it. Although it was called bandaging, it was actually more like tying four fingers together.
She had used a band-aid on her thumb, but just one was not enough for three fingers.
“Send Mo Chengxu and Xiao Jiu back to the hotel.” After Qin Shu instructed Shi Yan, she turned her head to look at her son and coaxed, “Xiao Jiu, follow Shi Yan back to the hotel, okay? I will go find Daddy and bring him back very soon. Then, the three of us will go home, okay?”
Xiao Jiu listened to his mother’s words and nodded vigorously, “Mommy must come back early, understand?”
“Yes, I will come back as soon as I find Daddy.” Qin Shu lowered her head and kissed Xiao Jiu on the forehead. Then, she stood up and followed Ye Luo down the mountain to the boat to look for Fu Tingyu.
“Young Master Jun, let’s go back.” Shi Yan carried Xiao Jiu and walked towards the car.
Xiao Jiu’s kept gazing at Qin Shu from behind. He held back his tears and said, “Daddy, come back. I don’t hate you anymore. No matter how fierce you are, I won’t hate you anymore.”
Shi Yan’s heart ached when he heard this. He couldnt help but hug Xiao Jiu tightly and bring the injured Mo Chengxu back to the hotel.
At the bottom of the cliff, the river flowed endlessly. This place was still some distance away from the sea, so the river was not as powerful as they had imagined.
Even so, Qin Shu continued feeling worried. She wanted to find Fu Tingyu in the shortest time possible.
After boarding the boat, the boat sailed toward the place where the incident had happened. Following the current, they arrived in a short while.
There were no less than ten boats traveling together.
Ten sailors went into the water at the same time to look for someone.
Qin Shu looked at her surroundings. There were cliffs on both sides of the river. After falling down, she could only fall into the river.
It had been so long, Perhaps she had been washed away by the current.
She ordered, “Advance.”
“Okay.” Ye Luo tured around and told them to continue sailing.
After every section of the journey, they would stop a boat and let the sailors go into the water to look for people.
This went on until the last boat stopped and another ten sailors jumped into the water to look for people.
Qin Shu took off her camel-colored coat and picked up the rope on the ground to tie around her waist. Just as she was about to jump down, Ye Luo stopped her just in time and reminded her, “It’s easy to die if you jump down like this. It’s winter now.”
“He hasn’t been found yet. I won’t let anything happen to me.”
Ye Luo said, “Tl go down to look for Lord Fu. You stay up there.”
“Lwont be able to feel at ease if I don’t go down myself. Staying on the deck makes me shiver even more than being in the cold river water.” After saying that, she pulled her hand away from Ye Luo and jumped into the bone-piercingly cold river water in winter without any hesitation.
Ye Luo was stunned for a while. He also took off his coat, tied the rope, and jumped down as well.
The cold river water covered her whole body, but she didn’t feel cold because Fu Tingyu was also in the cold river. Only this way could she control her trembling body.
This place was the closest to the sea, and the current was also quite strong. It was easy to be washed away by the current without a rope on her body.
Qin Shu kept looking for the man in the water.
She held her breath for too long, and she still needed to swim up to catch her breath before she could come down to continue looking.
It repeated like this.
From noon to evening, the sky darkened. After soaking in the water for a long time, her body became numb, and her lips were blue and purple from the cold. She could not swim anymore.
In the end, she was still pulled up.
‘The search and rescue personnel on the other ships sent news one after another, saying that they had not found Fu Tingyu.
After searching for an entire afternoon, they still could not find him.
Qin Shu sat on the deck, exhausted. Her body could not help trembling as she looked at the darkening sky. However, she could not sense the cold.
Ye Luo did not bother to change his clothes and helped Qin Shu up. He did not know how to comfort people. He simply said, “Young Madam Fu, you should go back.”
Qin Shu shook off Ye Luo’s hand and looked at the pitch-black night sky. There was a cold wind blowing in her ears, and her body trembled violently. She finally could not bear the loss of control and shouted, ‘Im not going back. Keep looking for him. Keep looking for him. He must be nearby, waiting for me
to find him.”
After shouting, she spat out a mouthful of blood. Her face was deathly pale, like a piece of white paper. Her thin body was on the verge of collapsing in the night wind. Then, she could no longer hold on and fell backward.
