The Baby I Lost Is Actually with My Ex-Husband!

Chapter 56: Chapter 56: More Bad Luck than Good

Momo waited anxiously on the shore. Seeing Lin Qi swimming back to the shore with Han, he immediately crouched down, extended his hand, and helped Lin Qi drag Han up onto the poolside.

“Mommy…” Momo said nervously, “Mommy, come up quickly.”

“Okay…” Lin Qi adjusted her breathing, and said to Momo, “Mommy has taught you how to do CPR and artificial respiration, do you remember how to do it, Momo?”

“I do!” Momo laid Han flat on the ground, and began to press down on his abdomen to expel the water inside.

The pool was too deep; clinging to the pool wall, it was impossible to climb out.

Lin Qi swam toward the handrail, but suddenly her already sprained ankle cramped.

Her face muscles twitched fiercely in pain, as she knew what it meant to have a leg cramp in the deep waters, and cold sweat started breaking out on her forehead.

It’s over…

At this moment, those two words consumed her mind.

Lin Qi felt as though an invisible hand was pulling her down. She tried to swim with one hand, but her strength was clearly depleted.

Momo also sensed that something was wrong, and alarmed, he called out, “Mommy!”

Seeing Lin Qi’s swimming motions weakening and slowly sinking into the water, Momo got up and walked anxiously over, only to hear some strong footsteps approaching from not too far away.

Momo looked in the direction of the sound and saw Huo Tingdong had arrived. He ran over, pushing Momo to the side, “Step back.”

Huo Tingdong dived into the water, swimming agilely towards the direction where Lin Qi was falling, like an arrow piercing through to a shark.

Three meters deep in the swimming pool.

Lin Qi’s pink dress floated down with the water, she struggled unconsciously, sinking deeper towards the bottom of the pool.

Huo Tingdong reached her side, grabbed her slender arm, and pulled her back.

Lin Qi opened her blurred eyes, feeling extremely deprived of oxygen and instinctually resisting in her fight for survival.

The man arrogantly pinned down her waist with one hand, the other hand holding her chin, and pressed his lips heavily against hers.

“Mm.”

Lin Qi felt a continuous stream of oxygen flowing from Huo Tingdong’s mouth into hers.

She regained oxygen and finally retrieved some consciousness.

The water’s gravity was too great.

Huo Tingdong fiercely tore a piece off her skirt, and holding her in his arms, headed for the poolside.

Five minutes later—

Lin Qi lay weakly on the shore, continually choking on water, coughing violently as the disinfectant-tasting pool water came pouring out from her nose and mouth.

Momo covered her with a thin blanket.

Soon, Ms. Mia and the school doctor arrived hurriedly.

Earlier, Huo Tingdong saw in the surveillance that Lin Qi and Momo had rushed into the swimming hall; he arrived first, and Ms. Mia, worried about an accident, urgently contacted the school doctor.

When the school doctor arrived, Huo Tingdong was performing artificial respiration on Han.

The water accumulated in his abdominal cavity had already been pressed out by Momo, but he had not yet regained consciousness.

When Lin Qi arrived, he had already lost consciousness, and it was unclear how long he had been drowning.

Drowning has a golden window.

If rescued within five minutes, the chances of survival are high.

If it’s more than five minutes, or even ten minutes or longer, it really is left to fate.

Huo Tingdong anxiously performed CPR on Han, whose little face, bloated from the water, was tinged with cyanosis.

He hadn’t been breathing for too long; if this continued, his life would be at risk!

Wrapped in a thin blanket, Lin Qi knelt next to Han, her breath intense with anxiety.

She was worried something really had happened to Han, how he ended up alone in the swimming hall, and in the water…

Huo Tingdong said Han was always good and would never run around recklessly.

How could he drown?

Lin Qi looked at Momo with some suspicion, “Momo, how did you know Han was here?”

Momo said, “Intuition…” He could only say it was intuition.

An intangible intuition, he couldn’t explain it either.

Huo Tingdong had no time to care about how Han had ended up here, and soon, the school doctor took over the rescue. Ms. Mia, seeing the situation was worse than she had imagined, hurriedly called an ambulance.

The ambulance arrived within five minutes, and to everyone’s relief, Han had already resumed breathing but was still unconscious.

The medical team lifted him onto the ambulance, Huo Tingdong got in, Lin Qi held Momo and also wanted to get in.

The doctor said anxiously, “There’s no room!”

Huo Tingdong took Momo and told Lin Qi, “You go home and wait for me.”

As he spoke, the ambulance door closed, and the vehicle sped away with its siren blaring.

How could Lin Qi go home and wait at ease? Assisted by Ms. Mia, she got into the car and directed the driver straight to the hospital.

…

Hospital.

Outside the emergency room.

When Lin Qi arrived, she found out that Han had finally escaped life-threatening danger and had awakened.

Momo, locked in the janitor’s closet, was in his dirty school uniform. He had been trying to break the door open, his joints bruising blue. The doctor had given him a simple treatment, and there were no other problems.

At that time, Momo had a vague bad feeling, suspecting something had happened to Han, but he hadn’t expected…

Han had nearly died!

It was impossible for Han to inexplicably go to the swimming pool on his own and jump into it.

However, no one could explain how he ended up there and had a drowning accident.

Ms. Mia had already contacted the school to access the surveillance footage of the time of the incident and would notify them immediately once there was any news.

Windsor High School was more afraid than anyone else of anything happening to Han.

After all, they were very aware that Han was the precious young master of the Huo Family, the apple of their eye. If he had encountered any mishap, the cost was something no one could afford.

When Huo Tingdong saw that Han had woken up, his heart was filled with relief, especially when the doctor said, “It was fortunate that the rescue was timely, otherwise… it would have been in vain to bring him to the hospital!”

By the time he arrived, Momo had already drained the water from Han’s abdominal cavity and was performing CPR. If not for Momo, Han’s chances would have been slim.

Huo Tingdong stepped out of the emergency room and saw Momo bandaged in several places, with Lin Qi sitting beside him, also soaking wet. He said to Momo, “Thank you for today.”

Momo asked, “Is Han awake?”

“He is, but his consciousness is weak.”

Momo’s anxiety finally settled down, and he said, “No need to thank me, Mommy saved Han.”

Huo Tingdong turned to look at Lin Qi.

Her foot was sprained and somewhat swollen.

He squatted down, took out a handkerchief from his pocket, which was already wet, wrung it out, and gently covered her swollen ankle, his hand lightly massaging it.

“Hiss.”

Lin Qi winced in pain, attempting to retract her leg.

“Don’t move,” Huo Tingdong warned.

Lin Qi said, “Muscle and bone injuries take a hundred days to heal; is this massage of yours any use?”

Huo Tingdong’s hand increased the pressure a bit.

Lin Qi almost screamed in pain.

Momo became anxious and said pitifully, “Can you be a bit gentler?”
