After the divorce, the CEO knelt down every night begging for remarriage.

"mom!"

They were still a step too slow. Lin Wanxin, exhausted, lost her grip on the branch and fell, tumbling all the way until she disappeared.

Lin Zhi rushed to the roadside, looked down at the dark, bottomless steep slope below, and without thinking, decided to go down to save the person.

His wrist was caught in time.

"I come."

"I'm with you."

Li Tingze didn't let Lin Zhi come with him, but instead instructed her, "You go back to the car first and contact emergency rescue. I'll go down and look for them. Remember, you must wait until the rescue team arrives before you get down, otherwise none of the three of us will survive."

Even at this moment, he remained clear-headed, calming her flustered heart.

Lin Zhi was momentarily drowsy, then returned to the car as Li Tingze had instructed.

She took out her phone to call the police, but her fingers were shaking so badly that they were completely out of her control. She tried to press the numbers for a long time but couldn't get them out, and eventually she even dropped the phone.

In that instant, the tears she had been holding back burst forth.

But the thought that the most important person in her life was in danger made her bite her tongue, letting the pain replace the fear, and she picked up her phone again and quickly dialed the emergency number.

She was restless while waiting.

Several times I wanted to rush over to find Li Tingze and Lin Wanxin, but Li Tingze's words kept playing in my mind.

She is their last lifeline if Li Tingze and Lin Wanxin are in any danger.

She absolutely must not lose her composure!

The location was too remote, and the rescue team arrived twenty minutes later.

When Lin Zhi saw them, her legs almost went weak: "Please, no matter how much money or time it takes, you must find them."

The rescue team nodded slightly, and after briefly inquiring about what had happened, they began their rescue efforts.

Lin Zhi rushed forward, saying she wanted to go down with her, but was refused.

The rescue team understood her eagerness to save lives and gently reassured her, "Please remain calm, and please make sure you stay up there so your husband and mother can see you when they return. Then you can contact us. Otherwise, I'm afraid something else might happen..."

The twenty-minute wait had already caused Lin Zhi immense anguish. She had already imagined several possibilities in her mind, and when she thought of the worst one, she could hardly breathe, and her ears were ringing.

In the dead of night, amidst a torrential downpour, deep in the mountains, even if Li Tingze could take care of himself, Lin Wanxin's frail body couldn't...

She covered her face and wept, silently retreating back into the car.

I prayed silently in my heart.

The rescue team seemed to be very familiar with the mountain and brought very professional tools. Despite the torrential rain, they found Lin Wanxin and Li Tingze in less than an hour.

Lin Zhi rushed over to the rescue team as soon as she saw them return.

When she saw Lin Wanxin lying on the stretcher, her face turned pale with fright.

He knelt down beside her with a thud, his fingers trembling as he tried to check Lin Wanxin's breath.

The next second, she was pulled into a cold embrace.

Li Tingze said weakly, "Mom is fine, she just fainted from shock."

Lin Zhi finally breathed a sigh of relief, as if she had found someone to rely on. She nestled in his arms and burst into tears of joy.

Li Tingze held her tightly, his wounded hands gently stroking her back, again and again, just like how Lin Wanxin used to coax her to sleep when she was a child.

The group set off for the hospital.

After settling Lin Wanxin in, Li Tingze also fainted due to exhaustion.

Fortunately, he was in the hospital and received timely assistance.

Seeing Lin Zhi's worried expression, the rescue team leader didn't want to say anything, but he still stepped forward and said, "Mrs. Li, actually, Mr. Li found your mother a long time ago, but due to the torrential rain, the temperature in the mountains was very low, and your mother had a heart condition, so her body suddenly lost its temperature. If Mr. Li hadn't risked being swept away by the flash flood to rescue your mother and replenish her temperature in time, it's probably not going to end well tonight."

The hospital corridor was quiet. Lin Zhi stood there, unable to calm down for a long time.

Reason told her that she absolutely could not turn back.

Emotionally, I was deeply moved by everything he did, even at the cost of his life.

She slowly walked out of the ward and looked at Li Tingze, who was still unconscious on the hospital bed. Tears streamed down her face.

At this moment, she didn't know how to respond to this belated affection.

In the end, she went to Lin Wanxin's hospital room and stayed with her all night.

She woke up groggily at midday.

Lin Wanxin had already woken up. Her face was pale as she tightly grasped Lin Zhi's hand, her voice filled with heartache. "Zhi'er," she said, "although I don't know the nature of your relationship with Tingze, after last night's accident, I believe he has genuinely changed and truly wants to live a good life with you, not just saying it. Can you give him another chance for my sake? Consider it the last chance, okay?"

Lin Zhi nodded slightly, but did not say a word.

Lin Wanxin was about to say something more when Li Tingze pushed the door open and came in.

After a few hours of rest, he had regained his usual energy. He placed the food box on the coffee table and said in a low voice, "I went to a nearby restaurant and bought some light food. Come and eat with me."

Lin Wanxin was extremely grateful to Li Tingze for risking his life to save her.

She smiled slightly and said, "Tingze, you've been working hard all night. Why don't you rest a little longer? Zhier can go buy the food."

Li Tingze could tell that Lin Wanxin's attitude towards him had changed.

He looked at Lin Zhi and chuckled, "You and Zhi'er are the ones who have had the hardest time. She was so worried about us that she almost fainted."

After saying that, he sat down next to Lin Zhi, put his arm around her, and pulled her into his arms.

Lin Zhi did not refuse.

My inner feelings are very complex and conflicted.

After lunch, Lin Zhi wanted to stay with Lin Wanxin, but Lin Wanxin sent her to Li Tingze's ward, saying she wanted to take a good nap.

Lin Zhi wasn't stupid; she naturally understood what her own mother was thinking.

She stood beside Li Tingze's hospital bed, silent and without saying a word.

Li Tingze patted the bed and said gently, "Come here and lie down next to me."

His gaze toward her was tender and affectionate.

She slowly walked over and sat down on the edge of the bed.

He didn't force her, but instead hugged her slender waist from behind and said softly, "Although I didn't know how to love before, I'm now showing my feelings for you through my actions, and I will continue to do so in the future."

He stood up and kissed her cheek: "Wife, will you come home with me?"

Lin Zhi tilted her head slightly, and her lips happened to touch his.

His hot breath brushed against my neck.

His calling her "wife" completely bewildered her, leaving her unable to think straight.

The atmosphere was just right, and the kiss happened naturally.

This kiss made Li Tingze deeply understand what it meant to be moved.

He didn't force her; instead, after kissing her, he held her tightly and kept asking for the answer to what she had just said.

Lin Zhi leaned against his chest, looked into his eyes, and asked, "Can I trust you one more time?"
