After Divorce, Hidden Marriage Husband Became Addicted to Me

Chapter 53 - 53 52 Saved

?53: Chapter 52: Saved 53: Chapter 52: Saved The man had already closed his eyes.

Tang Xi took a deep breath, spasms in her chest, and she shouted excitedly, “I am Tang Xi, Fu Tingzhou can you hear me?

I am Tang Xi!!

Don’t fall asleep, Fu Tingzhou, open your eyes and look, I am Tang Xi, not Su Mengshu!”

She clenched her fingers tightly.

As if numb, it took a long while before she felt a pang of pain in the palm of her hand, her fingernails sinking in deeply.

It took a long time for her heart to calm down.

Looking at the man’s unconscious face, Tang Xi bit her lip, “Is Su Mengshu so important to him?”

He, likes Su Mengshu so much.

Even in his unconsciousness, he was calling out Su Mengshu’s name.

A moment later, Tang Xi gave a self-mocking smile, her face pale.

Yes, she was just his most despised secret wife.

And Su Mengshu, she was his publicly recognized girlfriend.

She supported him against a large tree and took off her sports jacket to cover him.

The woman took a deep breath to steady her emotions, then stood up to look at his current state.

Fu Tingzhou, you saved me, I won’t let anything happen to you.

She turned and her figure swiftly disappeared into the jungle.

–

On the island, at the exit of the jungle, Xiao Chi and Zhang Chen came out one after another.

Several young masters were clearly taught a lesson here, with scratches all over their exposed skin on their faces, necks, and legs, and bites from insects.

Zhang Chen cursed as he took an anti-itch spray from a medical kit, finally feeling a bit relieved, “What the hell is in there!”

His eyelids were all swollen from the insect bites.

Gao Song breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing several people emerge; it was good that these wealthy young masters were okay.

Xiao Chi took a glance around, “Where’s Tang Xi?”

An Lan came over, “Tang Xi hasn’t come out yet.

Sheng Muxin sprained her ankle, Sheng Huai’an came to find her, and Fu Tingzhou went to look for Tang Xi, so we all came out together.”

Speaking of this, An Lan bit her lip, “Both Fu Tingzhou and Tang Xi haven’t come out yet.”

Xiao Chi frowned.

Upon hearing that Fu Tingzhou had gone to find Tang Xi and both had not yet emerged, Su Mengshu let out a sharp scream.

She looked at Gao Song, “What are you waiting for?

Go find them!”

At this moment, she was trembling with fear.

Completely devoid of the joy from the vacation that had just started a few days ago.

Her mind was a blank slate now.

She was in a complete panic.

Ever since she found out Tang Xi was also here, she felt as uncomfortable as if sitting on pins and needles every day.

She had a premonition that sooner or later, Fu Tingzhou would find out that it was Tang Xi who saved him during the earthquake.

And once that came to light,

Not to mention securing the position as Mrs.

Fu, she herself would be done for.

Currently, Su Mengshu was completely devoid of the gentle and ladylike facade she usually held; she was cursing at Gao Song like a shrew.

Many around felt surprised but could understand.

After all, her boyfriend and her sister were both in the jungle; she must be overly worried.

Gao Song also panicked, sweat streaming down his forehead.

He hurriedly reached for his pager to call the search and rescue team waiting at the hotel.

If something happened to Mr.

Fu in there, his own life wouldn’t be enough to pay for it.

It was already five o’clock, still daylight outside, but inside, it was about to get dark.

Gao Song had no idea how Fu Tingzhou and Tang Xi were doing, praying they hadn’t lost their way in the vast forest that could swallow a person at any moment.

Thinking about this, Gao Song’s legs trembled.

–

Her field of vision was pitch-black.

Tang Xi stumbled forward, pushing aside the tall leaves before her; there was no longer a hint of light, and she could only rely on the dim light from her cellphone.

Fu Tingzhou was still waiting for her.

Even though she was exhausted, she did not stop for a moment.

Suddenly, a pain shot through her palm.

By the blurry light of her cellphone, she looked at the heel of her left hand and saw a bite mark, while a small green snake swiftly disappeared into the undergrowth.

Tang Xi’s lips were pale.

She didn’t have time to tend to the snake bite on her hand and hurried forward.

She didn’t know how long it had been, her breathing became rapid, her legs felt as if they were filled with lead from exhaustion, and she was utterly spent.

She knew this was not the time to rest.

But…

She was so tired…

She really wanted to just stop and rest against a tree for a while.

–

The entire rescue team entered the forest, and it was only after they had gone that the team leader Jiang Yunzheng realized how complicated the situation was.

Not only was there no signal here, but snakes, insects, rats, and ants were everywhere, and what’s worse, it was stiflingly hot and humid.

And now that it was dark, visibility was reduced.

Even with professional lighting, it was as if they were punching into cotton, with darkness before their eyes like heavy clouds.

The man gave orders in a calm, deep voice, “Old Zhang, Brother Xu, Xiao Song, you guys lead one team to the east; Old Bai, Ah Dong, Xiao Jiang, you’re with me to the west.”

Several teams groped their way forward.

Tang Xi didn’t know how long she had been running; her cellphone had run out of power.

Before her was a sea of darkness, oppressively dense.

Her legs seemed to have gone numb and were beyond her control.

She stumbled, not knowing what had tripped her.

The woman struggled to push herself up with her arms.

Once, twice, she fell hard.

Tang Xi’s vision blurred, but she gritted her teeth; no, she couldn’t just collapse, Fu Tingzhou was still waiting for her.

A feeling of weakness and despair overwhelmed her.

It was as if she were once again standing amidst the ruins of the earthquake in Ningjiang City.

That was Tang Xi’s first rescue operation after graduating from university.

She had been determined to study medicine and become a doctor to save lives and heal the wounded since high school, and she hadn’t stepped back when the earthquake struck.

But she did everything she could.

Yet, she wasn’t able to save that man.

If only…

if only she had arrived a little earlier, if…

if only she had held on a little longer…

maybe that man could have been saved.

At this moment, she bit her teeth and stood up; pain shot through her ankle.

Her face turned pale as she bore the pain, trying to calm herself down.

Just then.

A bright light shone over.

Footsteps followed.

“Someone’s here, quick—come!” Along with a man’s voice, a tall figure ran up to her, helping her up, “You’re Tang Xi, right?

Where’s Fu Tingzhou?”

Tang Xi grabbed the man’s arm; he had the handsome features of a young man and was wearing a rescue team’s logo on his clothing.

She breathed a sigh of relief, finally able to catch her breath, and hastily said, “He’s inside.”

The man glanced at Tang Xi and said, “I’ll have someone take you out; there are doctors outside.”

“No, you don’t know the way.

I’ll take you to Fu Tingzhou; he was bitten by a snake, and it’s severe.” After speaking, Tang Xi turned and took the lead.

The man realized the seriousness of Fu Tingzhou’s snake bite and looked at Tang Xi with concern.

Perhaps Tang Xi didn’t realize that at this moment, her white blouse was torn by leaves and branches, and there were cuts and scratches on her cheeks, neck, and wrists.

Without caring for herself, she led the way towards Fu Tingzhou’s location with the utmost speed.
