Next were the faces of the Doctors and Nurses, along with their busy voices. Someone kept talking to me, asking what had just happened and why I had been pushed down.
I didn't want to answer, but she wouldn't let up. Another Doctor beside her said, "Don't let her close her eyes, keep talking to her. If the child is in danger, we must handle it while she is awake."
Of course, I didn't know why, but the Nurse who received the order became even more enthusiastic.
In my extreme exhaustion, I had to tell her what had happened in bits and pieces, pleading with her to ensure my child was safe.
Actually, the pain in my abdomen wasn't very strong; it was my arms and legs that throbbed painfully, making me shiver uncontrollably.
I didn't know what was wrong with my belly and wanted to lift my head to see, but there were Nurses on both sides pressing down on my shoulders, leaving me unable to move.
After many instruments were placed on me, the Doctor started an IV and then seemed to breathe a sigh of relief as he said, "She’s really smart; she braced herself with her hands and legs when she fell. The child is fine."
Upon hearing this, tears streamed down my face. The light above me blurred into a haze, along with the faces of the Medical Staff.
I could still hear their voices nearby, seemingly discussing how to treat the wounds on my arms and legs, but I couldn't focus on their words; all that filled my mind was one sentence.
The child is fine.
This was already better news than anything else for me.
I didn't know when Xiao Minxing arrived. When I woke from the haze of joy, he was already in the hospital room.
At first glance, I thought we were still stuck in that night when he got drunk. I smiled at him and said, "Why did I fall asleep again? Didn't we say we would be discharged when Sister Liu came back?"
Xiao Minxing was momentarily stunned, then quickly agreed with me, saying, "Okay, we'll leave the hospital and go home once Sister Liu comes back."
I nodded and tried hard to get up from the bed, but my arms and legs hurt terribly. Xiao Minxing promptly pressed me down, saying, "Don't move yet."
Only then did I notice the IV drip hanging by the bed, and my mind suddenly recalled everything that had happened.
A chill ran through my heart; could it be that the joy I felt earlier was just a dream I created? In reality, there was nothing at all...
I dared not think further and fixed my gaze on Xiao Minxing, hoping he would say something to me.
He pressed his lips together; his already thin lips looked even thinner at that moment, and because they were tightly pressed, they even had a slight purple hue.
My heart sank deeper, and I didn't dare to look at my own belly.
I knew better than anyone how difficult it was for this child to come into being. For him, I could give up everything, including Xiao Minxing. If Jin Ke had been willing to talk to me at that time and let me choose between the child and Xiao Minxing, I would have given Xiao Minxing to her and safely taken the child away myself.
But she never gave me a chance; she didn't even say a word before pushing me down.
She must have hated me deeply to act like that.
Finally, Xiao Minxing spoke up. It may have only been a few seconds of pause, but in that brief moment, my mind was already in chaos with many thoughts.
"The child is fine, but she ran away."
I closed my eyes and when I opened them again, I asked him, "What did you just say?"
Xiao Minxing looked at me and slowly said, word by word, "The child is fine, don't worry. It's just that your arms and legs are injured, and you might need to stay in the hospital for a while."
I couldn't express my feelings at that moment. I stared intently at Xiao Minxing and after a long time managed to say two words: "That's good."
He nodded, his large hand holding mine tightly, gently rubbing it. His gaze was deep and heavy, with a hint of joy when he looked at me.
After a long pause, he asked, "Why didn't you bring Sister Liu with you when you came out?"
I looked around before asking him, "What time is it now?"
Xiao Minxing glanced at his watch and said, "It's past eleven. Sister Liu came by once and brought some meals from home. I told her to go back first."
As he spoke, he took the lunchbox from the bedside table and asked me, "Do you want to eat something? You haven't had anything since this evening."
I shook my head and said, "I'm not hungry right now."
He stopped what he was doing, but I could tell from his expression that he was still troubled by what happened in the evening.
Xiao Minxing has this kind of personality; he won't let go until things are clear. Besides, I had no intention of hiding this matter from him.
Originally, Jin Ke had left without any issues. I'm not someone who holds grudges or intends to escalate matters unnecessarily. However, I never expected her to come back and harm my child, which is something I cannot tolerate.
Seeing Xiao Minxing quiet down, I told him about her phone call and everything that happened between us afterward.
His grip tightened more and more, the veins on the back of his hand bulging and throbbing, and his face turned ashen.
I was busy comforting him, saying, "It's okay, I'm fine now, aren't I? How did you know I was harmed?"
Xiao Minxing glared at me and said, "Is this what you call fine? Are you willing to give up your life? You just crawled down like that; do you know your arm is fractured?"
Hearing this, I actually laughed, "It's nothing; I just got a little hurt, but I protected the child. If I really crawled down like that, I... don't even dare to think about the consequences."
He was still not satisfied, stood up and walked around a couple of times before saying, "Why would you think of coming out to meet her? Since she entered our home, she has had ill intentions. If it weren't for the fact that you relied on her so much back then, I would have gotten rid of her long ago. I didn't expect everything to be put in front of you, and you're still so foolish, without even a bit of caution."
Actually, I wasn't angry at all; instead, I found it a bit funny to see him so furious, so I kept trying to persuade him.
In the end, Xiao Minxing was left without any anger after my words. He slumped into a chair and said, "It was someone from the hospital who called me. They said a stranger brought you in and then left, leaving my number. Do you know who it is?"
I remembered the man in black who brought me here and immediately told him, "I saw him at Mina's company before; I even mentioned it to you. But later on, I also saw someone similar outside the community, although he looked a bit different."
Xiao Minxing didn't say anything. He sat quietly for a while and then asked, "Did he say anything to you?"
I shook my head and replied, "At that time, apart from the pain, I was worried about the child; I didn't have the heart to think about anyone else. But it seemed like he was watching from nearby and without any hesitation just carried me out."
"Did you see any interaction between him and Jin Ke?"
I tried hard to recall the situation at that time. When Jin Ke was still there, I didn't notice that person’s presence. By the time the man in black came out, Jin Ke had already left. Would there have been any interaction between them?
