Chapter 7 Doomed
- Ling Yan woke up and found herself enveloped in endless white, accompanied by the pungent smell of disinfectant.
- She struggled to get up.
- “Miss Ling...”
- Jing Haozhi rushed to help her up, looking serious and worried. “Be careful, your wound...”
- The wound? Left by the surgery?
- Consciousness and fragmented memories flooded back, bringing her acute pain.
- So, she ended up losing everything, didn't she?
- Ling Yan covered her mouth tightly, to stop herself from crying out loud. Tears fell on the blanket while her body shook violently with a surge of anger and anguish.
- “Miss Ling, too much mood swings is bad for your health. Whatever happened can't be undone...” said Jing Haozhi.
- “What do you mean?” Ling Yan looked up.
- Unsurprisingly, Ling Yan found it hard to accept the fact that she had lost her baby once again.
- The sight of Jing Haozhi avoiding her gaze only confirmed what she had in mind.
- “What can't be undone? What do you mean?” she murmured, gazing into the air with vacant eyes. The reality was driving her insane.
- Ling Yan pounded her chest and cried. “They can take my kidney. They can take my life. But why do they have to kill my baby?”
- She choked with sobs.
- The pain in her chest and her heart almost numbed her.
- Her child was innocent. It deserved to see how wonderful the world was.
- Jing Haozhi caught her arm to stop her from torturing herself..
- “Miss Ling, please stop hurting yourself,” he tried to make himself sound as calm and professional as possible.
- This was when Qiao Yunmo walked in.
- “It seems I've underestimated the charm of my wife. Another prey at hand already just after the surgery.” Qiao Yunmo sneered at Ling Yan coldly.
- Jing Haozhi let go of her hand immediately. “Mr. Qiao.”
- Qiao Yunmo turned to him. “Jing Haozhi, didn't I warn you last time when you helped her run away?”
- Anger flared up in his eyes, and he continued, “Are you testing my tolerance?”
- Jing Haozhi had been an earnest and righteous man, so he was not used to the bitter comments from a friend.
- His fists were clenched, but thinking of Ling Yan's condition, he decided to swallow his pride.
- “Mr.Qiao, her health condition is worrying. As a doctor, I sincerely suggest you to let her rest.”
- “Funny.” Qiao Yunmo sneered, “Why don't you mind your own business and leave other people's wives alone?”
- “Mind your language!” Jing Haozhi flushed angrily.
- “Qiao Yunmo!” Ling Yan couldn't bear it anymore. “You are intolerable!”
- Her retort and the way she stood up for another man irritated Qiao Yunmo no end, “Do you know who you are talking to?”
- Ling Yan supported herself to stand up.
- “What else can you do for that shameless liar?” She gnashed her teeth and clenched the fists, quivering with indignation. “Twice! Are you aware that you've killed your child twice?”
- “That's enough!” Qiao Yunmo ordered coldly.
- “That baby should have existed in the first place! Also...”
- His voice was ice-cold. “Don't you ever bad mouth Runan again!”
