The Bumpy Road of Marriage: The Ex-Wife Is Expecting

“Help, help…” The army officer who had spoken next to her immediately dropped his stretcher and ran upstream.

Shui Anluo stood in the heavy rain but her body was shivering very badly. However, she had no idea whether she was shivering from being drenched by rainwater or because she had been frightened by the horrifying scene.

She had seen people being washed away by landslides before but that had been achieved by special effects. Now, this scene had actually happened in front of her.

Mo Lusu returned with the items. He placed one hand on Shui Anluo’s shoulder and said, “Luoluo.”

However, Shui Anluo seemed to be in shock. Her body was shaking and when she looked up at Mo Lusu, a sense of bewilderment flashed through her eyes.

Mo Lusu looked up at the army officer who was attempting a rescue and understood what had happened. He slowly inched to her ear and said, “Don’t look at anything else. Hurry up and get back, I’m still here.”

Shui Anluo was completely dumbstruck and Mo Lusu had to push her to turn around.

“No, we need someone lighter or we’ll snap the tree branch.” The leading army officer shouted.

The child that Shui Anluo had just bandaged was pushed by the landslide into the waterway. The two army officers who had been carrying the stretcher were washed downstream but the child had managed to hold onto an inclined tree trunk. However, there was a roaring flood below him.

“No, no, no…” The army officer continued to yell.

Mo Lusu continued to push Shui Anluo forward step by step. Aside from the sound of the pouring rain, her ears were also ringing with the army officer’s anxious yelling.

Lightning struck and the child’s cries echoed in Shui Anluo’s ears along with the sounds of the rain.

Shui Anluo shivered. She turned to the place where she had last stood and clenched her fists on her sides again. Finally, as if she had made a decision, she pushed Mo Lusu aside and staggered over. She stood next to the army officer and shouted, “I weigh 41 kilograms, let me do it.”

“Luoluo…” Mo Lusu cried out loudly, clearly irritated.

Shui Anluo had screamed the sentence, she was no longer afraid. In both natural and man-made disasters, as a mother, she also hoped that someday, if her child should ever be in danger, someone would step out and say ‘I can do it’.

The army officer looked at Shui Anluo. She has a petite figure and the tree branch would definitely hold her weight.

“You’re a doctor?”

Shui Anluo nodded. “Just tell me what to do.” Shui Anluo looked at the army officer seriously, even her breathing has become heavier.

The army officer stared at her seriously but time waits for no man. The army officer had no choice but to nod and agree to her request.

They tied a rope around Shui Anluo’s waist. She had another coil of rope in her hand.

“You have to tie this clasp on the kid’s body and pull him above the tree trunk.”

Shui Anluo took a deep breath and nodded seriously.

“Luoluo…” Mo Lusu cried out once again.

Shui Anluo took a deep breath and turned to look at him. “Senior Brother, it’s not that scary, I just need to climb over and the kid will be saved.” Shui Anluo smiled as if she was no longer afraid. She then turned back and walked towards the tree at the shore.

“Actually, I also hope that no matter what dangers the little darling will encounter in the future, the person who can save him will make the same choice that I’ve made,” Shui Anluo said. With the help of two army officers, she sat on the slanted tree trunk with both legs apart before she slowly inched toward the child.
