One Birth Two Treasures: The Billionaire's Sweet Love

Chapter 2338: Sis, you need me now.

This captain was a young man who had graduated from the police academy five years ago. The fact that he could climb and fight his way up the ranks within a time spoke volumes of how ambitious and capable he was. Still, the surmounting pressure made him feel grouchy.

He thought, If every case were easy to solve, then I wouldn't be stuck in this miserable position! Hmph! All those bigshots only know how to bark orders and issue ultimatums! Does he think every case is easy to crack?! I wouldn't have the capability even if I were Sherlock Holmes!

His boss glanced at him and seemed to perceive what was going on in his mind, so he told him off. "Don't look at me! My face won't be able to give you any clues! You can stare at me all you want and you will not be able to solve the case still!"

"…"

"Do you hear me? Ten days! You can put aside the rest of the cases and focus on this one for now! Don't come and see me unless you have something to show, alright?!"

"Understood!"

…

By the time Yun Shishi woke up, it was already one in the afternoon.

The twins were still sound asleep.

In order not to disturb them, she sneaked into the bathroom when she needed to phone Gong Jie.

There was no sign of exhaustion in her brother's voice when he answered the call.

"Sis, have you woken up? Why don't you sleep a little longer?"

"How's my father?"

"He's still the same inside the hospital room. His condition got worse in the morning, so he had to be wheeled into the emergency room. He was revived then subsequently returned to his ward."

Her chest tightened when she heard that. "What?! He was sent to the emergency room again?"

"Yes…"

"Then, why didn't you call me?!"

He was silent for a while before giving his reply. "…I didn't want you to be worried."

The woman took a deep breath, and upon realizing that she had spoken harshly, she quickly apologized, "Xiao Jie, I'm sorry… I'm just really worried and scared… that I may just wake up without seeing my father for the last time."

The man's heart skipped a beat when he heard that.

Of course, how could he not know this feeling?

He, too, had that experience when he was a child and woke up without seeing his mother and sister. The family that he knew was gone in a flash.

"I'm sorry, sis. Luckily, your dad was successfully revived; according to the doctor, his condition is beginning to stabilize, but just in case, they need to keep him under observation over the next few days."

His sister nodded. "I'll be on my way to the hospital soon."

"What about the twins? Have they woken up yet?"

"Not yet; they are still sleeping." She thought for a while and made a suggestion. "How about you bring some food over to this hotel? You haven't slept for twenty-four hours; shouldn't you take a rest, too? I'll feel safer with you staying with the kids."

"Sure."

Half an hour later, Gong Jie went to the hotel with some takeouts. The moment he stepped into the room, she could see his face overwhelmed with fatigue and could not help exclaiming in distress, "Xiao Jie, you've been standing guard for a night; you must be very tired!"

"No worries," he replied nonchalantly. "I'm used to it."

"Why don't you go back first? You don't have to stay behind because of this."

The man froze for a second before he turned to look at her. Walking up to her, he suddenly pulled her into his arms.

"I'm not going anywhere." His eyes beamed gently at his sister before he continued speaking. "You need me now, sis, so I'm not going anywhere. I want to be here for you."
