Translator: 549690339

Outside the hospital’s operating room, mother Lin sat leaning against father Lin, tears streaming down her face. She kept muttering, ” it’ll be fine, it’ll be fine ... &Quot;

The Cheng family’s parents were sitting diagonally opposite each other, their expressions serious. An ran stood to the side, her eyes and nose red. On the other hand, Chengxiang was crouching in a corner listlessly. His hair was in a mess, and his tie was hanging loosely around his neck. At this moment, he was looking at the ground in a daze, without any focus.

After a long time, the light of the operating room finally dimmed, and the door of the operating room was opened. A voice in a white coat came out from inside, and as he took off his mask, he said,”Who’s the family of the patient inside?”

Chengxiang was the first to step forward and grab the doctor’s hand. He was a little agitated. &Quot; I-I’m the patient’s husband. Doctor, how’s my wife? ” Behind him, the parents of the two families and an ran also hurriedly came forward and anxiously waited for the doctor to speak.

The doctor had naturally seen this kind of scene many times in the hospital. He raised his hand to signal for everyone to be quiet and said, &Quot; the patient is no longer in danger, but, but unfortunately, the child was not saved. &Quot; As he said that, he patted Chengxiang’s shoulder and said, &Quot; it’s okay. You’re still young. You’ll have children in the future. The most important thing now is to take care of the adults ‘bodies. &Quot;

Chengxiang listened to the doctor’s words in a daze. He was a little dazed, and his entire body swayed unsteadily. The doctor said the child was gone! He and Lin Li’s child was gone!

The doctor said something to them and told them not to feel burdened. Taking care of the patient’s health was the most important thing.

Lin Li was then pushed out of the operating room by the medical staff. Anran looked at her on the bed. Her small face was pale and bloodless. She lay there quietly with her eyes closed, completely lifeless.

An ran’s nose was so sour that she couldn’t control it. Tears started to flow down her face.

She didn’t like Lin Li like this. She should be happy, happy, and free of worries. She shouldn’t be lying here quietly with her eyes closed. She covered her mouth, afraid that she would cry out loud.

Mother Lin really couldn’t take it anymore and almost fell down. Chengxiang went forward to help her, but she pushed him away. She said in a tense tone,”I don’t need you.” Although she didn’t know the whole story of what happened today, she had eyes and could clearly see that everything was caused by him. It was all his fault that Lin Li was in this state!

Lin Li went forward to help mother Lin up, and a few people accompanied the medical staff to bring Lin Li into the ward.

Chengxiang wanted to go in but was stopped by father Lin. &Quot; you should go back first. I don’t think Xiaoli would want to see you when she wakes up. &Quot; His tone was distant.

......

&Quot; dad ... &Quot; Chengxiang looked at the medical staff in the ward carrying Lin Li to the bed and said with a pained expression, ” “Let me stay. I want to be by her side.”

“No need.” Father Lin refused. No matter what happened, they didn’t want to see him today.

Mother Cheng still wanted to say something, but father Cheng stopped her and shook his head at her. He glanced at Cheng Xiang and shook his head with a sigh. It was clearly a happy event, but how did it become like this?

When the medical staff left, father Lin ruthlessly closed the door, blocking Chengxiang’s family from entering the ward.

In the ward, mother Lin’s heart ached as she looked at Lin Li, who was sleeping soundly on the bed. She silently cried at the side. The two of them had originally come here happily to see their daughter get married. How did things turn out like this?

“How could this be? when Lin Li called me earlier, she was still very happy. What’s going on with Chengxiang and that woman? Hasn’t his relationship with Xiaoli always been good? how did he hook up with that woman?” Mother Lin mumbled to herself.

Anran was also upset, and she regretted even more that she had stopped Lin Li in the first place. Lin Li was so wonderful, so why did she have to be someone else’s replacement? Anran really regretted letting her continue to complete the wedding with Chengxiang. She should have stopped her from doing so back then, or else Lin Li wouldn’t have been hurt again today.

Anran, you know the whole story, right? can you please tell us? ” Father Lin asked Anran politely and sighed in self-mockery, ” we are Lin Li’s parents, but we don’t know anything about her. We just thought that she said it was good. We clearly saw that she lost a lot of weight this time, but we really thought that she was vomiting because she was pregnant. Yes, pregnancy only makes people fat. How could it make people lose weight like this? ” Father Lin only felt a little guilty. He had no idea about his daughter’s condition.

Anran didn’t know what to say, and she didn’t know what flowers she could use to comfort them at this moment. However, in the end, she agreed to their request and briefly told them what had happened recently.

Mother Lin’s heart ached as she looked at her daughter lying on the bed. She muttered, ” how could Chengxiang be like this? our Xiaoli has been with him for 10 years. How could he treat my Xiaoli like this? ” The more she spoke, the more she felt wronged for her daughter. &Quot; why is Xiao Li so silly? she keeps everything to herself. &Quot;

“Bang Bang Bang!” Father Lin slapped his hand on the table. He was a little angry and his chest heaved up and down.”How could Chengxiang bully my daughter like this!” He had always thought that his daughter was living well, and that Chengxiang was a good son-in-law, but he didn’t expect him to be such a bastard!

&Quot; when Xiaoli is discharged, we’ll bring her home immediately. It’s better to stay at home than to be bullied here! &Quot; Father Lin said with a bit of resentment.

Anran gently patted mother Lin to comfort her. Looking at Lin Li’s pale face after the operation, she felt so uncomfortable that she couldn’t speak.

When he opened the door again, Chengxiang was still sitting outside. When he saw Anran come out, he quickly went up to her, grabbed her, and asked, ” “An ran, is Lin Li awake? How was she? Are you alright?”

Anran pushed him away and looked at him with a little hatred. She hated him for ruining Lin Li, who always loved to smile and was happy without any worries.

She looked at him and sneered,”how can she be fine?” Don’t you think you’ve hurt her enough?”

“I didn’t want to. I didn’t control my power just now. I didn’t want to ...” Cheng Xiang couldn’t continue. He held his head and grabbed his hair. He never thought that things would turn out like this. When Lin Li fell to the ground and her blood stained her wedding dress, he wanted nothing more than to kill himself. He never thought of hurting Lin Li. Really, he never thought of it!

“If you can’t give her love, at least give her a promise. Lin Li has never been a greedy person. She has been your shadow for 10 years. What did she complain to you about? But what did she get in return?” An ran questioned him one sentence after another.

Chengxiang painfully clutched his head. He didn’t know why things had turned out like this!

&Quot; if you really can’t forget the shadow in your heart, why did you go to the trouble of provoking Lin Li? why did you still insist on marrying her? since you chose to get married, what else could you have done? why did you abandon her in front of so many people during the wedding? ” As Anran spoke, tears fell uncontrollably from her eyes. &Quot; you clearly know that Lin Li isn’t strong, and you clearly know that she loves you so much that she doesn’t care about her dignity. Why do you still hurt her like this? do you really think that she will forgive you again and again? ”

&Quot; I didn’t. I love Lin Li. I’ve never thought of leaving her. She’s the one I don’t want to hurt the most! &Quot; Chengxiang said in extreme pain.

“Hehe.” Anran sneered, pointed at the ward, and said, ” “You don’t want to hurt her, but look at what you’ve done! Who is Lin Li lying in there for? what right do you have to say that you don’t want to hurt her and that you love her?”

Chengxiang couldn’t answer or refute her because Anran was telling the truth. Lin Li’s current condition in the hospital room was all his fault.

Anran didn’t look at him anymore. She turned around and walked directly into the elevator at the corner. She had to go buy Lin Li’s daily necessities for the hospital. Right now, no matter what she said or blamed him, it wouldn’t change the truth. The most important thing right now was to help Lin Li recover. The rest could be discussed later.

When she got out of the elevator, su Yicheng’s phone call came at this time, and she suddenly remembered that it was almost night, and she hadn’t gone back yet. Su Yicheng must be worried.

“Hello,” he said. Anran picked up the phone, and her eyes suddenly felt a little sore. She had so many grievances in her heart that she had no place to express them.

Su Yicheng chuckled and asked, ” was the wedding fun? ” As he spoke, he seemed to be picking up his car from the parking lot. An ran heard him open the door with the remote control.

“It’s not fun,” An ran said, her voice half-crying. How could she be fine? Lin Li’s child was gone, and she was in the hospital. She wasn’t fine at all!

On the other end of the phone, su Yicheng was stunned. He could tell that there was something wrong with her tone, so he quickly asked, ” “What’s wrong? An ran, are you crying? What happened?”

&Quot; Boohoo, men are all bad. None of them are good. &Quot; Anran scolded as she cried. She was so sad and felt so wronged for Lin Li.

“An ran?” Su Yicheng was a little worried, but he didn’t know what had happened to her. &Quot; Anran, tell me, where are you now? ”

Anran sniffled and tried to control her emotions. Although her tears were still disobedient and kept falling, her rationality finally came back. She said half-sobbed, ” &Quot; I’m at the city’s first hospital. There was an accident at the wedding today, so I’m accompanying Lin Li in the hospital now. &Quot;

Su Yicheng didn’t ask any more questions and only said, ” &Quot; wait for me there. I’ll go over now. &Quot; Then, he hung up the phone.

Anran stood in the hospital garden for a while, trying to calm herself down. When her eyes were less swollen and not so hot, Anran left the hospital and headed for the small supermarket next to the hospital.

As she had come in a hurry, she didn’t have any daily necessities like towels, face basin, toothpaste, toothbrush, or anything else. After she had picked up most of the necessities and was about to line up for payment, she realized that she still had to buy slippers. She turned back to the living area and found the slippers section. She saw a man gesturing with his back to her. Anran didn’t have time to pay attention to anyone else. She went forward to pick a few large and comfortable slippers and was about to go back. Just as she turned around, the man standing next to her turned around as well, and the slippers in his hands accidentally touched the slippers in his hands. Anran raised her head, and the man also turned his head. Their eyes met, and both of them couldn’t help but be stunned.

An ran didn’t expect to see Zhou han here. They had met in two different places in two days, and the frequency seemed to be a little high.

Zhou han was also stunned. He seemed to be quite surprised that an ran would appear here.

“You’re so silly!”

“You’re so silly!”

The two of them wanted to ask something at the same time, but they didn’t expect to bump into each other. They looked at each other and smiled. Zhou han smiled at her like a gentleman and said, ” “Ladies First.”

Anran lowered her head, smiled, and shook her head. &Quot; “I just wanted to ask why you’re here.”

“What a coincidence, me too.” Zhou han said easily. Then, he raised the child’s slippers in his hand and said, ” &Quot; the boy has a high fever. The doctor suggested that he stay in the hospital for a night. &Quot;

Anran nodded. &Quot; my friend is in the hospital, ” she said. &Quot; I’m here to help. &Quot;

Zhou han also nodded and looked at her without saying a word. Then, he turned around and walked outside. An ran turned around and walked out with him.

“Is your friend very seriously ill?” Zhou han asked indifferently.

Anran was stunned. She didn’t understand what he meant.

Zhou han didn’t look at her and just said indifferently, ” “Your eyes are swollen like walnuts.”

Anran came back to her senses and lowered her head in embarrassment. When she thought of Lin Li, she felt her nose sting.

Zhou han turned his head and looked at her. He continued to walk on his own without saying anything more.

When they were in line, Zhou han was in front of her. When it was almost his turn, he turned around and said to Anran, ” “Let’s count them together.” As he spoke, he took the basket from her hands and placed it on the cashier counter. He only said to the cashier lady, ” “Two bags,”

She walked out of the supermarket with him, carrying her things. Anran opened her wallet and was about to give him the money as she said, ” “How much is it? I’ll give it to you.”

Zhou han didn’t look at him and just said indifferently, ” “No need, it’s not much money.”

“How can I accept that? how much is it? I’ll give it to you.” Anran insisted. After all, they weren’t close, and su Yicheng’s relationship with him seemed to be quite stiff, so she didn’t want to spend his money.

“Maybe next time. If we meet again, you can help me give it to him.” Zhou han only said this lightly. He raised his hand and looked at his watch. He seemed to be in a hurry, so he quickened his pace.

He insisted that an ran shouldn’t be so stubborn, so he just nodded and thanked her.

She could clearly feel that he was walking faster, so she couldn’t help but ask curiously, ” “Is the child’s fever serious? You’re alone in the ward?”

“Yes.” &Quot; yes, ” Zhou han replied indifferently and took a bigger step. He had an appointment with a client tonight to discuss a collaboration, but he had left the important contract in the study room last night. So, he had rushed home after work. However, he did not expect to see the boy wiping the floor with a rag, and the helper he had hired was sitting on the sofa with food, watching TV and eating. When she saw him return, she hurriedly stepped forward and took the rag from the child’s hand with a dry smile. She hurriedly urged the child to leave. Looking at the boy’s sweat-covered body and his dirty face from cleaning, she naturally knew that she couldn’t fool him. She had thought that he usually didn’t care about the child, and the child was afraid of him like a mouse seeing a cat. She was sure that he was going to find his father, and he might not necessarily believe what he said. So, she was more at ease to enslave the child, and she would watch TV all day with her legs crossed, and then pretend to be attentive when he appeared. Therefore, he immediately took the money and threw it to her, telling her to get out of her room.

Just as he took the information and was about to leave, he saw the kid curled up on the sofa alone. He was covered in cold sweat and seemed very uncomfortable. She reached out and touched his forehead, only to realize that his head was burning. She immediately carried him to the hospital.

Looking at him, it seemed that he was always busy taking care of the child by himself and had never seen anyone else around him. Anran didn’t think much of it and asked directly, ” “Where’s the child’s mother?”

Upon hearing this, Zhou han suddenly stopped. He didn’t turn back, but his body began to stiffen. The hand holding the bag was a little tight, and his trimmed nails pierced into the flesh of his palm.

Anran felt a little regretful after she asked the question. The question she asked seemed to be too rash, so she quickly said, ” “S-sorry, you don’t have to pay attention to my question. I was just asking.”

Zhou han stood there for a while before saying, ” “He’s dead,” The voice was so cold that he could not feel any warmth.

Anran was stunned. This time, she didn’t say much and just silently followed him into the hospital.

The child was staying in the children’s ward, which was on the 13th floor, while Lin Li’s ward was on the 16th floor.

The elevator responded. Zhou han walked out first and looked at her. He nodded at her lightly and said, ” I’m here. I’ll be leaving first. &Quot; After he finished speaking, he turned around and left without looking back.

Anran glanced at him quickly, but she didn’t ask any more questions, nor was she in the mood to ask. He didn’t want to talk about it, and she didn’t have the time to ask her about such a gossip.

When he returned to the ward, Chengxiang was already half-squatting at the door, as if he had been abandoned. He was in an extremely sorry state.

An ran didn’t look at him. She carried her things and opened the door.

When she came in again, Lin Li was still unconscious. Father Lin and mother Lin were still looking worried. Anran felt a little sorry for them. They had come to attend the wedding happily, but now they had become like this! Because they were worried about Lin Li, the two of them seemed to have aged a lot in an instant, and their faces were a little pale.

Anran said worriedly, ” uncle, Auntie, why don’t you go back to the hotel and take a nap first? I’ll take care of things here. The doctor just said that Lin Li has been anesthetized and won’t wake up for a few hours. &Quot;

&Quot; how can we leave? Lin Li is still lying on the bed like this. &Quot; Mother Lin said faintly, her voice weak.

Father Lin turned around and said to an ran, ” &Quot; Anran, why don’t you go back first? you were busy with Lin Li the entire night last night, and today, you’ve been busy until now. You should go back first. It’s good to have us here. If Lin Li wakes up, I’ll call you. &Quot;

Anran shook her head and refused. &Quot; it’s okay, uncle and Auntie. I’ll wait for Lin Li to wake up first. &Quot;

Father Lin wanted to say something, but Anran’s phone rang at that moment. It was Shu Yicheng’s call again. Anran turned around and went out, probably already there.

She picked up the call. Su Yicheng had indeed arrived and had just parked his car in front of the hospital. He asked Anran to tell him the address, and he would go up directly.

After telling him his floor and Ward, he waited at the elevator door.

After a while, the red numbers on the elevator started to slowly move up. Finally, the number stopped on the 16th floor. The elevator door opened, and su Yicheng walked out. His hair seemed a little messy, and his suit jacket was nowhere to be seen. The tie on his necktie was a little harsh.

When Anran saw him, it was as if all the grievances she had felt for the day had surged up in her heart. She stood there steadily, and the corners of her mouth moved slightly. Then, her nose started to sting, and the tears in her eyes suddenly rose.

Upon seeing this, su Yicheng’s heart ached a little. Her red and swollen eyes, as well as her aggrieved expression, made su Yicheng sigh softly, then he stepped forward and pulled her into his arms. He patted her back gently and consoled her in a soft voice, ” it’s okay, it’s okay. I’m here. It’s okay. It’ll get better ... &Quot;

Anran leaned into su Yicheng’s arms, wiping her snot and tears all over his clothes. She cried loudly for Lin Li, for her ten years of love, for her silly stubbornness and unwillingness to let go, for the dead child in her stomach, and for all her grievances and unwillingness.

Su Yicheng hugged her and gently patted her back repeatedly, then repeatedly told her that everything was fine and that he was right beside her. There were many people passing by, but the two of them just hugged like that, ignoring the gazes of others.

After crying for a while, Anran finally stopped crying and withdrew from his arms, sobbing.

Su Yicheng looked at her reddened eyes and wiped the tears from her face with heartache.

The two of them sat on a plastic chair at the side. Lin Li roughly told him what happened today. As she spoke, she felt wronged for Lin Li, and her tears were about to fall again.

Su Yicheng’s heart ached for her as he hugged her. &Quot; alright, don’t cry anymore. It’ll be fine. &Quot;

When Anran returned to the ward, Lin Li was still unconscious. When father Lin and mother Lin saw su Yicheng come in, they were a little surprised and looked at Anran in confusion. Anran simply explained that he was her husband. Father Lin and mother Lin were worried about Lin Li, so they didn’t ask further.

Anran stayed in the ward with the Lin family’s parents, while su Yicheng left the ward alone. He remembered that he had the phone number of the director here, so perhaps he could ask him to change Lin Li to a better Ward and give her a detailed examination.

&Quot; alright, thank you, director Zhang. &Quot; After hanging up the phone, she turned around and happened to see Chengxiang squatting at the door of the ward. After staring at him for a while, she turned her head away indifferently. This was the kind of man that he despised the most. He was indecisive and never knew what he wanted. He would regret it when he lost it. The damage had already been done. What was the use of regretting it? If he knew that he would not be able to keep his promise, then why did he make such a solemn vow? He clearly knew that he could not give her the happiness she wanted, so why should he be greedy for her momentary gentleness? the end result would definitely be harmful to others and himself!

Su Yicheng turned around and walked straight to the elevator. They had a long day today, so they probably didn’t even have anything to eat. Perhaps he should buy them something to fill their stomachs now.
