Chapter 1058: Do Not Harm My Child (21)
An extremely dismal feeling welled up in Lu Nanze’s heart.
The sort of dismal feeling a completely abandoned person would feel.
He was now afraid.
He was really afraid.
Seeing the amount of blood Qiao Lian had lost, seeing her taken into the operating theatre ashen-faced.
For the first time, he felt panic-stricken.
His Qiao Lian, she must not die!
At this thought, his eyes reddened immediately. He would not look away from the operating theatre for a moment.
After a few hours, the door of the operating theatre swung open.
The doctor walked out.
Lu Nanze took a nervous step towards him and looked at the doctor.
He was not familiar with all of the emotions inside him now, he merely felt the tightness in his chest.
He looked at the doctor, not even daring to bring himself to ask the question.
At this point, the doctor said, “The patient is out of danger. Although the wound looks terrifying, it is fortunate you had professionals present to stop the bleeding. So that was alright, and even the child in the womb is safe.”
Just as he said this, he saw that Qiao Lian’s bed was pushed out of the operating theatre.
She was laying flat on the bed with her eyes shut. Quietly. Peacefully.
Her forehead was bandaged. Although there was blood still seeping through it, it was not as terrifying as before.
As Lu Nanze looked at her, a voice next to him continued, “Mr. Lu, Ms. Qiao has not been significantly harmed. Now that she’s unconscious, there is actually no danger in performing the abortion. Do you wish to return her to the operating theatre?”
Return her to the operating theatre?
Lu Nanze’s gaze fell on her again and slowly s.h.i.+fted to her arms.
Even unconscious, both her hands were placed protectively around her belly.
The image of her saying those words appeared through his mind.
He lowered his head slowly, clenching and unclenching his fists.
At last, he took a deep breath.
He ordered, “Take her to the ward.”
“Understood.”
He continued to stare at her and followed the trolley bed as they walked away from the operating theatre.
He did not take his eyes off her for a moment.
Qiao Lian, I’m letting you keep this child.
I only ask that you forgive me. Will you do that?
He lowered his gaze at this thought, as he felt the deep remorse and sorrow in his heart.
–
In the meantime, in Beijing.
In the premium VIP ward.
Shen Zihao was sitting next to the trolley bed anxiously, looking at Xia Nuannuan.
He could not keep still and fidgeted uncontrollably.
His palms were damp with perspiration.
Shen Liangchuan stood next to the bed, by Xia Yehua’s side, looking at the lost and helpless Shen Zihao.
Minute by minute, time pa.s.sed.
With every minute that slipped away, the chances of regaining consciousness dropped.
Shen Zihao took the hand of the girl lying on the bed and, as he looked at her, said, “Nuannuan, please wake up!”
“Nuannuan, I love you, will you open your eyes and look at your Dad and Mom, will you?”
“Nuannuan, don’t leave me all alone.
He kept going and the atmosphere in the ward became heavy with gloom.
Xia Yehua’s eyes reddened.
Shen Liangchuan looked at her. He was just about to offer a few words of comfort when his chest suddenly tightened and was in extreme pain.
His hand moved upwards and exerted pressure on the area. It felt as thought his heart had stopped abruptly for a few beats, but the feeling pa.s.sed quickly.
And following this, he oddly panicked.
As he tried to make sense of this, from the corner of his eye he suddenly spotted a diminute movement in Xia Nuannuan’s hand.
