Chapter 296: I’m pregnant
Translator: 549690339
“In the intensive care unit
Wen Ran, dressed in a sterile suit, crouched in front of the hospital bed, clutching Bai Xiaoxiao’s hands, his words choked and saddened.
“Xiaoxiao, can you hear me? You have to wake up soon. When you awaken, I’ll cook for you, making your favorite dishes…”
“…Tonight, I’ll stay with you here, even if it’s not at your home…”
“Xiaoxiao, next time when you encounter danger, you can’t be foolish like this, understand? I’d rather be the one in this bed than seeing you like this.”
On the hospital bed, Bai Xiaoxiao slept peacefully, unable to respond to whatever Wen Ran was saying.
If she could hear him, she would definitely rebut: “Ranran, even if it happens again, I would still do the same.” Because in her heart, they were as close as sisters.
Just like Mo Xiuchen said, pushing away Wen Ran was only Bai Xiaoxiao’s instinctive reaction, just as Wen Ran had no time to dodge but blurted out, shouting ‘Xiaoxiao, run’.
Inside a certain apartment in G City at late night
Jiang Liu was startled to see Cheng Jia clutching at her stomach, her face pale as a ghost. His eyes changed as he saw blood stains between Cheng Jia’s thighs, but even before he could ask something, Cheng Jia had already grabbed his hand, her voice filled with pain and anger: “Hurry, take me to the hospital.”
“Okay!”
Jiang Liu snapped back to reality and carried her downstairs.
“Take me to People’s Hospital.”
Cheng Jia’s face was contorted with pain.
Her house was about the same distance from Kangning Hospital and People’s Hospital. Fearing that Jiang Liu might take her to Kangning, she gave explicit instructions first.
“Okay!”
Jiang Liu nodded, placed her in the new car he’d just bought the day before yesterday, and sped off to People’s Hospital.
In the dead of night, the road wasn’t too crowded and Jiang Liu drove fast. They reached the hospital within twenty minutes.
“Wait a second.”
Jiang Liu got out of the car and opened the door. Just as he was about to bend down to carry Cheng Jia, she suddenly stopped him. Her eyes strayed past him and fixated on something outside the car window.
Jiang Liu puzzledly followed her gaze. At this late hour, there were few people around, except for a young man and woman in the distance. The man was tall and strong; the woman petite and adorable. The man wrapped a scarf around the woman’s neck, and they were laughing together. They were obviously in love.
“Do you know them?”
Jiang Liu knew that Cheng Jia didn’t want him to appear in front of people she knew, and he also knew that she didn’t sleep with him because she liked him. It was because he bore a striking resemblance to a certain man.
Cheng Jia’s gaze shifted, a cold gleam shining in her eyes. Suddenly, she understood why Mo Xiuchen readily agreed to her when she proposed they break up.
He even said he would talk to Little Liu.
So that’s how it is!
Little Liu has someone he likes?
It wasn’t until another wave of pain struck her, and Little Liu and that girl got into their car that she came back to her senses. She met Jiang Liu’s probing gaze: “He’s the father of this child, what do you think, do I know him or not?”
“The man from just now?”
Jiang Liu narrowed his eyes, looking at Cheng Jia incredulously. No wonder he thought that figure looked familiar. He remembered, that man was the very same man rumoured to be involved with Cheng Jia in a scandal.
A simple, naive, and foolish driver.
“They’ve left. If you don’t go to the hospital now, we won’t be able to save the child.”
Jiang Liu was only interested in Cheng Jia’s body and didn’t care much about her past. He casually listened as she spoke.
“You can go now, I’ll go in by myself.”
Suddenly, Cheng Jia had a change of heart. Mo Xiuchen had played her once again.
Her gaze was cold, a faint smile playing on her lips: “I’ll call the child’s father in a while and have him accompany me at the hospital.”
No wonder she couldn’t win Little Liu’s heart. So, he has someone he likes. That woman, who was smiling so sweetly just now, Cheng Jia suddenly wanted to see what she’d look like when she cried.
Understanding her meaning, Jiang Liu felt relieved as he didn’t want to stay in the hospital late at night. He gave a casual response and slid into the driver’s seat. He watched as Cheng Jia struggled to get out of the car. She took out her phone from her pocket, holding her stomach with her other hand and heading to the hospital entrance.
He gave a cold laugh, started the car, and drove off into the night.
On the way to drop Tong Shishi off at her home, Little Liu’s mobile phone suddenly started to ring.
Seeing the caller ID, his expression changed. Tong Shishi, who was sitting in the passenger seat, asked curiously: “Who’s calling?”
Little Liu shook his head, ended the call, and resumed their previous conversation: “Tomorrow morning, you don’t have to come to the hospital. I’ll bring aunt’s breakfast. Don’t let it interfere with your work.”
A few seconds later, the phone rang again. Before he could end the call, Tong Shishi spoke up: “You should answer it. Maybe it’s something important.”
“Okay!”
Little Liu smiled awkwardly and pressed the answer button, greeting the caller dispassionately. From the other end, he heard Cheng Jia’s panicked and painful voice: “Little Liu, come to the hospital quickly. The doctor says our baby is in danger.”
