Unexpected Second Chance at Love

Hearing Lu Tian’s mention of the word ’roadtrip’, Grandfather Ji was at a loss for words. However, thinking about it, he nods his head agreeingly a few times.

He stares at Lu Tian for a long minute, then down to Chu Li Xiang. Like he had confirmed with his decision, he exhales a long sigh and put his pistol away.

\"What will you say to the Chief?\"

\"I’ll inform him.\"

Lu Tian didn’t need to think and quickly answers the question. Instead of letting Chu Li Xiang rot in prison, he has another plan in store for the bastard.

Glancing between Lu Tian and Grandfather Ji were none other than Yue Ling, Ji Jingxu and Ting. They had heard the word but were clueless as to why it would be mention.

What in the world is this roadtrip? Some kind of vacation?

Unlike the three people, Jiangyu was the other person who understood the meaning behind the word.

He couldn’t help but swallow a big gulp and shiver as he looks down at Chu Li Xiang’s unconscious figure.

His head slightly shook, and he sighs inside in pity for the despicable man.

Roadtrip.

A word that makes one think about setting out on a long journey. However, not for those who know the real meaning behind it.

It is a special code word used only by Lu Tian when he has decided to take someone to a far away place that can be consider hell.

The word has been used only twice and now is the third time.

Thinking about this, Jiangyu thought back to the two people who were honored the word. Another chilling shiver crawled down his spine and his body shook like was having a seizure.

\"Bring him ’there’.\"

Lu Tian’s deep voice returned Jiangyu to his five senses. He quickly revert back to normal and stood attentively like a soldier.

\"Yes Captain!\"

As Jiangyu place Chu Li Xiang over his shoulder and leave the small group, Yue Ling looks up at Lu Tian with a questioning look.

Her eyes slightly narrow and she decides to ask.

\"Roadtrip?\"

Her word caused Ji Jingxu and Ting to look attentively at him too. Both young men were still afraid of the legendary coldblooded man, but they held their ground.

Lu Tian knew the two boys were looking at him, but his eyes only kept on his wife.

\"Roadtrip.\"

He nonchalantly replies by turning her question into the answer. Even if he didn’t explain, he is sure she will catch on the meaning soon.

Hearing his answer, Ji Jingxu and Ting were dumbfounded. Their eyes glance at each other then back to Lu Tian.

Roadtrip means roadtrip? So, does this mean it is actually something bad and not good?

\"Aiya, there’s a paramedic. Let’s hurry and get Ah Ling checked up.\"

Grandfather Ji subconsciously intervenes when he caught sight of a few paramedics exiting the abandoned factory. However, he was even more worry for his granddaughter when he saw two of the paramedics carrying a red hair woman on the stretcher.

Suddenly being disturb by the old man’s words, Ji Jingxu and Ting’s cheeks turned into a light pink color.

Their curiosity got the better of them, but it was quickly dispersed into thin air.

\"Jie, grandfather is right. You have to let one of the paramedics see if you were injured anywhere.\"

Ji Jingxu worriedly spoke as his head turn away in the direction of the medical team. Even if she says she is fine, they won’t feel better unless it has been confirmed.

Seeing their look of worry, Lu Tian also agreed. He had brought his wife to join the others in the front because he is also worried she might have sustained invisible injuries.

\"Your grandfather and brother are right. Let’s get a paramedic to check on you.\"

Yue Ling was quickly tongue tied by the three important men in her life. She looks at Lu Tian, then to Grandfather Ji and Ji Jingxu.

When they were still standing in the back under the room on the second floor, she had continuously told Lu Tian she was fine. However, he didn’t listen and told her it was either she obediently comes to front with him to get checked up or he carries her by force.

She knows her body better that anyone and knows that she is fine, but just to reassure them, she decides to oblige.

\"Alright, I’ll see a paramedic.\"

Her words fell and she proceeds forward. However, taking only two steps, she couldn’t help but squeeze her eyes shut as there was a sudden sharp sensation in her head.

It was as if hundreds of tiny needles were pricking on her brain.

She slowly opens her eyes, but everything around became a blurry image of two and she could feel her conscious slipping away.

\"Tian...\"

\"Yue Ling!!\"

Her call for him was a very faint whisper, but Lu Tian heard her. His eyes widen in panic and his indifferent expression changed into one of paleness.

He quickly caught her in his arms before she could even fall back.

\"Ah Ling!\"

\"Jie!\"

\"Miss Han!\"

Grandfather Ji, Ji Jingxu and Ting quickly pale in comparison. Each person held a worried look as they did not understand what is wrong with Yue Ling.

She was just talking to them a second ago, how did she...

Lu Tian held his wife’s back with one arm as his other arm sweeps under the back of her knee and carries her up in princess style.

\"Medic!\"

He roars loudly as if his life depended on it. Carrying her in his arms, he rushes pass the three people in big strides before running towards the medical team.

\"I need a medic!!!\"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Minutes turn into hours as Yue Ling’s eyes remained shut. The space between her brows crease into three tight lines.

She could hear the beeping of the monitor set up next to her. From the sound she already knew she was taken to the hospital and was put in a private ward.

Slowly opening her eyes, what came into her view was not the white ceiling of a hospital, but Lu Tian’s worried face that lingered over her. Not only his, but her grandfather’s too.

The corners of her lip curls up into a faint smile at the sight of them.

\"Yeye, Tian.\"

Grandfather Ji sighs in relief at the sight of his granddaughter. His old body slumps back and he sits down on the chair at the side of the bed.

He swore his heart had stopped beating when he saw her faint. It was like that night during the car accident was being replayed again.

Lu Tian did not sit down but continue to lean over his wife. His eyes scanning every inch of her face as if he was in some kind of dream.

Only God knew how he felt when he saw her lose conscious.

Knowing that she had worried him again, Yue Ling could see his eyes tremble in fear like he was going to lose her. She reach her hand and place it over his hand that was rested against the hospital bed.

She gently caress the back of his hand with her thumb and smiles to him.

\"I’m really fine.\"

Like her voice was the only life source to him, Lu Tian was able to breath again. He slowly sat back down and entwine his fingers with hers.

He place the back of her hand against his forehead to feel the warmth of her like she is his sun.

*Ring ring

Suddenly, a phone rings inside the private ward and Lu Tian reluctantly moves his head away from his wife’s hand.

Holding her hand with one hand, his other hand reach into his coat pocket and takes out his phone.

Seeing the name on the phone screen, he doesn’t answer but looks at Yue Ling.

\"Go ahead and take the call. I’ll be fine.\"

Yue Ling answers before he could say a word. She already knew what he was going to say.

Seeing how understanding she is, Lu Tian nod his head once and stood up. He leans down to kiss her forehead.

\"I’ll be back.\"

He looks at Grandfather Ji with a meaningful look and walks out of the room.

As his figure stepped into the hospital corridor, he is met with the eyes of Ji Jingxu, Liu Shan, Qi Li, Xu Long and Lin Hui.

The five men were trying their best to remain calm and waited outside the room.

Lu Tian gives the five men a nod in indication that Yue Ling has awoken. Each person does not say a word, but rush inside the room to check for themselves.

Standing by the door, Lu Tian answers the call and put the phone next to his ear.

[\"Roadtrip?\"]

The second the call was answered, an indistinctive voice sounds from the other line as if to confirm something.

Lu Tian’s dark pupils dimmed with an indescribable sense of petrifying darkness.

\"Roadtrip.\"
