It’s a long knife, much longer than the fruit knife he was holding. He knew this kind of knife; one stab could pierce through his chest, and if this person stabbed and then pulled out, he would surely die faster.
Cyclops clutched his chest with both hands as if trying to stop the gushing blood, and as he fell to the ground, he said, "No wonder, Mu doesn’t dare to say you’re a madman—"
With a thud, he hit the ground heavily.
The scene fell silent.
Housekeeper Xiao, Uncle Tang, and the others were all dumbfounded. Although they were watching from the front, they had seen a figure approach from behind intending to ambush Cyclops. This was exactly why Xiao Jianming pretended to follow Cyclops’ words and jump out the window, with the sole purpose of maximizing Cyclops’ distraction, so he wouldn’t notice the ambush from behind, giving the person a chance to strike Cyclops in one move.
After Cyclops collapsed beside her, Gu Nuan stood there, her eyes unmoving, staring at the person who appeared before her.
At that mont, she didn’t even know if she was dreaming. Because she never knew when he would be able to move or wake up. Although she had great confidence in him, even the doctors couldn’t guarantee he would wake up soon.
She had prepared for everything, including the possibility of giving birth alone—now here he was.
As her eyes blinked, seemingly unable to bear the surging emotions and about to collapse, Xiao Yebai’s long arm wrapped around his wife’s waist, holding her tightly, his eyes lowering in surprise as he looked at her stomach, "Has it gotten this big?"
"Yes." Gu Nuan answered, feeling the child inside her start to stir because of his appearance, so she covered her stomach with both hands.
Seeing this, the new father, Yebai, panic-stricken, lifted her up by the waist and called out, "Go get the doctor!"

At the Ou Family residence, Zhao ngjin finished the New Year’s Eve dinner with the family, got up to say goodbye, and prepared to go ho.
Ou Shihua was surprised, "Leaving so early?"
Ou Chunhua interjected, "It’s not early, it’s almost nine o’clock."
"Have another cup of tea," Ou Shihua suggested.
Ou Chunhua said, "Her grandparents may not be around, but her grandpa is. She has to go back to keep him company."
Zhao ngjin didn’t object to this and even seed to use it as an excuse to leave, saying to Ou Shihua, "Yes, my grandpa and others are all having dinner at my aunt’s tonight."
What? Does this an the Xiao Family has forgiven and accepted Gu Nuan? Ou Chunhua was inwardly startled.
If Gu Nuan truly beca accepted as the daughter-in-law by the Xiao Family, it would be akin to her, Ou Chunhua, becoming an equal in the Ou Family.
This girl really turned into the phoenix of the Xiao Family, which was endlessly irritating.
Hearing this, Ou Shihua squinted and said, "Alright, Yanan, personally escort Miss Zhao ho."
It was clear that Ou Shihua had an optimistic attitude towards the reconciliation between Gu Nuan and the Xiao Family.
Ou Yanan got up, took the car keys handed over by the secretary, and drove Zhao ngjin ho.
The two young people got into the car, and Ou Yanan reminded her to fasten her seat belt.
After Zhao ngjin fastened her seat belt, she asked, "Are you feeling better now? Uncle wanted to ask but didn’t dare, fearing it might upset you."
Earlier, when she went to his room, she was too confused to bring it up.
Ou Yanan said, "I feel fine myself, no symptoms like the doctor ntioned. Besides, I’m a doctor myself."
"Since you say so, are you planning to return to work at the hospital?" Zhao ngjin asked.
