Chapter 678 Waiting
"Forget it, there’s nothing I can do now; all I can do is search for live reports online, hoping to find some useful information. If I were to message him now, I might disturb his mood, and I really don’t know how things are. I’ll just have to bear with it."
Tang Yuchan had to admit Kang Yue was a very sensible woman. Even in such a crisis, she prioritized the other person’s feelings, always considering if she might be a disturbance. Indeed, she seemed a good woman, and Kang Yue’s actions took Tang Yuchan by surprise.
Tang Yuchan had thought that Kang Yue would be extremely agitated upon seeing the message and might want to rush to the scene, but she later realized that Kang Yue was even more rational than she had imagined. That was for the best. If her own sister had lost her mind, Tang Yuchan wasn’t sure she could have stopped her. Hoping that all was well on the other side, she thought this while starting to check her phone for any updates.
Some wealthy heirs had distanced themselves from danger and were standing aside, filming videos and taking photos to upload to the internet, all talking about how terrifying the experience had been.
Whenever she found any information, she would pass the phone to Kang Yue to see. It was just a small photo, but Kang Yue caught an extremely subtle detail in it. If she hadn’t been paying close attention, she would have easily missed it.
And it must be said, Kang Yue discerned a detail that had been bothering her.
She immediately took the other person’s phone and said, "Let me see this, I want to see what exactly is going on." She zoomed in repeatedly until she saw the woman she didn’t want to encounter. As it turned out, she had come after all. Shen Dong—Kang Yue scanned the photos quickly, relieved to find that Shen Dong was unharmed.
He was standing in a safe area at the top, hesitating to leave, still waiting—perhaps he wanted to rescue that woman? The very thought filled her with discomfort. Was there someone more important to him than her?
"Do you think he doesn’t want to come back because of this woman? Just look at him, even though he’s away from danger, he still stands there watching. It must be because of her, I understand now.
That’s why his messages are so slow and intermittent. So, it’s like this... I underestimated her too much, thought this devoted heart would never waver. Seems I was thinking too much."
"Kang Yue, don’t overthink it now, it could all be a misunderstanding, just a coincidence that she’s there. Besides, the responsibility is on him, even if he wants to leave, he can’t just abandon everyone else. You have to trust him. When he comes back, it might be too late to explain properly. And isn’t your most important task right now to heal?
