Chapter 1796: Unlucky Heiress (64)

It was the weekend, and neither Tang Guo nor Tang Kui seemed busy. Both chose to stay home.

Even when Tao Yu invited Tang Guo out, she said she wanted to rest and declined.

Tang Yi had also approached Tang Guo and Tang Kui, suggesting they go out for a meal or have some fun, but both of them rejected her with the same excuse—they wanted to take a nap.

Sitting alone in the living room with a cushion in her arms, watching television, Tang Yi felt especially miserable.

They really were brother and sister. Even their excuses for rejecting her were exactly the same.

Fortunately, the two remained in their respective rooms, which made her feel slightly better.

The reason she stayed downstairs instead of taking a nap herself was because she feared the two of them might suddenly decide to go out together.

Today, she wasn't going to give them any chance to spend time alone.

Ever since making that wish, Tang Yi had been waiting every day for the moment when Tang Kui would give her his heart.

She refused to believe that the lucky charm had suddenly lost its power.

It would definitely work.

It had to.

As long as it came true, she wanted nothing else. Having Tang Kui would be enough.

Tang Guo and Tang Kui weren't napping.

Both sat in their rooms, staring blankly at their phones.

Because they both knew that today, according to the original plot, was the day the Tang couple died.

They had complete confidence in the life-saving talismans they had given the couple.

If they couldn't guarantee even this much, then neither of them deserved to keep doing what they did.

Besides, the couple had double protection.

Having listened to Tang Guo and Tang Kui's advice, they had never removed the talismans.

More importantly, both husband and wife could vaguely feel that the items Tang Guo and Tang Kui had given them really did benefit their health. Others couldn't perceive it, but they themselves could sense subtle improvements.

At one o'clock, Tang Guo's and Tang Kui's phones rang simultaneously.

"Is this Miss Tang?"

"Is this Mr. Tang?"

Both answered in almost identical tones, "Yes."

Then hospital staff informed them that while the Tang couple had been on a self-driving vacation, their car had suddenly gone out of control and rolled down a slope. The vehicle had been severely damaged.

Miraculously, when rescuers found them, they had suffered only minor external injuries.

After undergoing a full examination at the hospital, both were found to be in excellent health. However, for safety reasons, they were to remain under observation for three days.

After all, the accident had looked incredibly serious.

Under normal circumstances, with the vehicle damaged to that extent, survival should have been impossible.

There was no explanation for such a result, so the doctors could only classify it as a miracle.

Less than two minutes after Tang Guo and Tang Kui received the call, Tang Yi received the same news.

When the siblings came downstairs fully dressed, they found Tang Yi standing there with her arms wrapped around herself, her face deathly pale.

Walking over to her, Tang Kui comforted her. "Mom and Dad are fine. Let's head over and see them."

"Don't worry, Xiaoyi. The hospital already checked everything. Mom and Dad only have some superficial injuries. They're otherwise perfectly fine." Tang Guo also comforted her, gently patting her shoulder.

Looking at Tang Yi's bloodless face, anyone unaware of the truth would have assumed she had simply been frightened by the accident.

But they knew that what she feared wasn't the accident itself—it was the memories that this event had triggered.

Struggling to calm herself, Tang Yi said, "Big Brother, Guoguo, wait for me. I'll change clothes right away."

She rushed upstairs, her mind completely blank.

Her thoughts were in utter chaos.

Fortunately, her current appearance made it seem as though she was merely worried about the couple, so no one suspected anything.

Biting her lip, she hurriedly changed clothes and gathered some necessities.
