Xu Weilai could hear a faint voice calling out two words repeatedly as she walked with Zuo An on her back.

At first, she couldn’t hear it clearly. In between the wind and rain, she thought she was hallucinating about it. However, the voices seemed to be so near that she could felt it spoken right by her ears.

Only then did she realize that it seemed to be coming from her Big Boss.

His head was tilted to one side of her shoulder. She could feel him mumbling from the movement of his head, tilted to one side on her shoulder. However, his voice was too soft, so soft that Xu Weilai had to listen hard to for a long while before she realized that he was mumbling “Mama”.

At this moment, Xu Weilai felt as if she had been struck by the lightning.

She worked so hard to come up the mountain to look for him in such a dangerous situation, and he thought she was his mother?

She was a girl. Well, not a girl anymore, she was a young mistress. No, that sounded wrong too since she was already divorced. But still, she was a young lady. How dare he call her mother? Does she look so motherly to him?

However, the fact that Zuo An would call for his mother in such a situation was enough to show the importance of his mother to him.

She knew nothing about Zuo An’s past and background. But if he were to grow up in a happy family, he wouldn’t have helplessly called out for his mother when he was in the moment of despair.

Could this be the reason Qiao Chu was so worried about him?

Xu Weilai could not bear to pull him out of his dream at this moment. She turned her head towards the side of her shoulder where Zuo An was resting his head on and answered, ” Yes son... Mama’s here. Hang in there!”

She felt that she was taking advantage of her Big Boss when she said this as this would bring her position to be above Zuo An.

She wasn’t sure whether it was her words that had suppressed Zuo An’s anxiety and uneasiness, but he seemed to have calmed down and his mumbling gradually stopped.

No longer distracted by Zuo An’s mumbling, Xu Weilai continued her climb.

Although the journey wasn’t supposed to be particularly long. but with the harsh weather and a man on her back, Xu Weilai was panting heavily from exhaustion. She couldn’t tell apart the sweat and rain dripping from all over her face and body anymore as her panting got heavier with each passing minute.

Zuo An had somehow gained his consciousness along the way. He tried hard to pry his eyes open, but could only feel the heaviness of his eyelids. So heavy, that he could only manage a slit.

He caught a glimpse of someone that looked much like his mother when he tried to have a good look at the face in front of him. Moreover, she responded to him gently when he called to her, just like when he was young.

But, she couldn’t respond to him anymore...

Then who possibly could this woman in front of him be? Who was she?

Zuo An wanted to take a good look at her. But he could only figure out a face blurred with a flowing mixture of sweat and rain. Then, he felt his consciousness slowly being clouded by layers of dark fog before he sank completely into the darkness.

–

Xu Weilai finally managed to bring both of them up the slope. Tired and exhausted from the climb, she sat on the ground before she grabbed Zuo An and leaned him against her back. She then took out her phone and raised it high to check for a signal. One tiny bar appeared on the signal indicative of her phone screen.

She hurriedly dialed Qiao Chu’s number.

Qiao Chu’s reply came almost immediately from the other end. She briefly described her location and requested that he send help immediately.

Before she was done, the signal went out again. However, Qiao Chu should have gotten her message on their location. She had done what she could.

She gave her raincoat to Zuo An, drenched in the rain carrying a man likely a head taller than she was on her back, and climbed up the slope. She had already exhausted every bit of her strength. She could hardly stand no matter how hard she tried. A dizzy spell started to cloud her mind, and she could feel her eyelids drooping...
