"Uncle, do you also think that the ones who hard Xiao ng are Yin Bowen and Guo Tong?"
Upon hearing Yin Shixiu suddenly ntion Guo Tong and Yin Bowen, Yin ng hurriedly asked.
"Find soone and inform Yin Bowen about this matter."
Yin Shixiu didn’t answer Yin ng’s question, instead, he said directly.
Ming Lang bought so snacks and drinks and went over to Mr. Su and Mrs. Su,
"Aunt will be fine, Mr. Su, Mrs. Su, why don’t you have a bite first, so snacks and water, later I’ll go out and get you so fried noodles, okay?"
Seeing Shan Mingxu trying hard to comfort them, Su’s mother patted his shoulder,
"Just leave it here, we’ll eat when we have the chance, right now we just can’t eat anything."
Shan Mingxu didn’t try to persuade them anymore, not just Mr. Su and Mrs. Su, even he felt heartbroken seeing his aunt in critical condition and Little Treasure gone...
Feeling upset, he couldn’t eat anything either.
Past dinner ti, he still didn’t feel a bit hungry.
In the middle, the director and several surgical professors ca, and explained Su Xiaong’s current situation to Yin Shixiu in detail.
Perhaps the blow was already heavy enough, so when the director ntioned the severe damage to Xiao ng’s uterus, making future pregnancies unlikely, Yin Shixiu didn’t feel much more distressed.
Even if Xiao ng could still conceive, he feared he wouldn’t let her go through such pain again.
After discussing Xiao ng’s physical condition, the director pulled Yin Shixiu aside to an empty place and said a few more words.
"If the labor-inducing drug was administered by a hospital doctor, this could be considered a dical accident, but the incident with Xiao ng happened at ho..."
"Director, as long as she survives, let the chips fall where they may, but if she doesn’t..."
Yin Shixiu’s words trailed off, his deep eyes landing on the old doctor who was nearing sixty, whom he should have respectfully called "Uncle."
"For Xiao ng, I will do everything possible, have the hospital’s best doctors and nurses take shifts to care for her!"
"Whether you do your best or not, all I ask for is results."
"...Shixiu ah..."
"Soone wants to harm my wife and child, and now the other party has succeeded halfway, this other half..."
"I don’t wish to suspect you, Director."
The director’s heart skipped a beat, and upon eting Yin Shixiu’s cold gaze, his body stiffened.
Yin Shixiu walked away from the director, his shoulder almost brushed past the director’s, his eyes looking ahead coldly, devoid of the usual reverence.
The night fell quickly, but for Mr. Su, Mrs. Su, and Yin Shixiu, whose minds and bodies were deeply tornted...
Every second felt multiplied.
Yin Shixiu urged Shan Minglang and Yin ng to go ho early, but Yin ng refused, Xiao ng didn’t need her care, but Mrs. Su still needed soone to look after her.
Seeing his sister not leaving, Shan Minglang naturally didn’t want to leave either, saying he would stay to take care of Mr. Su.
The siblings were kind-hearted, and with their insistence, Yin Shixiu let them be.
The hospital arranged a rest room, Mr. Su and Mrs. Su leaned against the bed, indeed wanting to close their eyes and rest a while, but couldn’t sleep peacefully.
Seeing Mr. Su and Mrs. Su in such distress, Yin ng and Ming Lang tried their best to comfort them.
Mrs. Su knew the siblings were well-intentioned and didn’t want them to worry too much, so she lay on the bed pretending to sleep.
Ming Lang and Yin ng were half reassured seeing Mrs. Su lie down to rest, but only Mr. Su could feel that the pillow used by his wife was soaked with tears.
In the intensive care unit at this ti, there was only the lifeless Xiao ng lying on the hospital bed, and Yin Shixiu sitting beside her keeping watch.
It was late at night.
Yin Shixiu could see the heart monitor connected to Su Xiaong.
The steady heart monitor cald him, allowing him to gradually sort out all the matters.
In fact, the truth wasn’t hard to see.
Xiao ng fell ill after drinking the herbal dicine brought by Mrs. Huang, prior to that, she had only eaten her breakfast bought after morning exercises.
Ah Su found that Mrs. Huang gave the thermal flask ant for Guo Tong to Su Xiaong when washing the flask.
Mrs. Huang had no motive to harm Xiao ng, nor did she have any to harm Guo Tong...
Mrs. Huang had always been the one to brew dicine for Xiao ng, if she wanted to do sothing to Xiao ng or Guo Tong, she would have acted long ago, why wait until now...
But aside from Mrs. Huang, who else could tamper with the herbal dicine?
The one tampering must have deep hatred towards Guo Tong, enough hatred to take such a risk to harm her...
Thinking till here, Yin Shixiu rembered soone.
When Guo Tong first entered the Yin Family, she was quite imperious, yet the servants at the Yin Mansion didn’t take her seriously.
At that ti, a servant accidentally burned Guo Tong’s hand while serving tea, and later Guo Tong "accidentally" tipped a kettle over her.
That servant...
Yin Shixiu rembered she also had the surna Huang, should be... Mrs. Huang’s sister.
The servant suffered a severe burn, was later sent to the hospital, and since then no one ntioned it again.
Yin Shixiu called Ah Su and asked about this matter in detail again.
He didn’t rember wrong, the burned servant had very serious scars on her hands and feet, and Mrs. Huang indeed harbored resentnt against Guo Tong because of this matter.
The motive was barely there...
She wanted to hurt Guo Tong, but mistakenly hard Xiao ng.
The truth seems to be so, and when the police co to investigate tomorrow, I’m afraid they will co to the sa conclusion.
It’s just that Mrs. Huang probably won’t easily admit it. The thermos flask for the herbal dicine has already been washed, and no one saw Mrs. Huang tampering with it. With insufficient evidence, it may be hard to convict her.
However, the difficulty in convicting her is temporary. If she did it, she must have left traces.
If she did it, he will find a way to bring her to justice!
The truth is so simple, just a twist or two, and it’s easy to figure out.
But Yin Shixiu doesn’t believe it.
The inducing agent... where did she get it? Or rather... who gave it to her?
His eyes fell on the glass window, outside it was pitch black, the so-called truth is just like this black curtain, hiding the black hand behind it.
————
When the sky showed the first light of dawn, Xiao ng woke up.
The respirator was covering her nose and mouth, feeling extrely uncomfortable.
Raising her eyelids a bit, her head felt oxygen-deprived, and the white ceiling was spinning violently.
Slightly tilting her head...
Her husband was sitting on a chair, eyes closed, one hand propped on the armrest of the chair, supporting his head, the other hand holding hers.
The warmth from his palm was scorching...
Xiao ng unconsciously moved her finger slightly, and just like that, as her knuckle moved sowhat, Yin Shixiu woke up!
The two locked eyes...
At this mont, for Yin Shixiu, it truly felt like a world apart.
He didn’t know what expression to use to look at her, barely managing to tug at the corner of his lips, leaning forward to her,
"You’re awake? Did you sleep well?"
Xiao ng looked at him... just staring at him with wide eyes, half hoping, half fearful.
Their hearts were connected, how could he not know what she wanted to know...
Shifting his gaze away,
"I’ll go get the doctor."
Unable to walk away, his hand was tugged by her, leaving Yin Shixiu’s limbs sowhat stiff.
Xiao ng moved her lips, but couldn’t make any sound...
Yin Shixiu sat back on the chair but pulled the bedside bell, saying,
"She’s awake."
The doctor on the other side responded, seemingly eager to rush over imdiately.
Yin Shixiu held her hand, brought it to his lips, kissed it lightly, and gently said,
"The dean said you’d sleep for another two days before waking up, and I was just thinking, you’ve been asleep for quite a long ti..."
He said with a light chuckle, his gaze lingering on her face, noticing her lips under the respirator were moving, repeatedly uttering two words...
"Little Treasure... Little Treasure..."
He could see it clearly, but pretended not to hear,
"What are you saying? Don’t rush to speak; you just woke up, it’s normal to feel weak..."
Yin Shixiu touched her head, as the dean and Doctor Jiang ca together!
They perford a thorough examination on Su Xiaong from head to toe, finally breathing a sigh of relief, saying,
"You’ve gotten through the most difficult period."
Yin Shixiu stood at the end of the bed, eting Xiao ng’s gaze...
He saw the anticipation in her eyes gradually dim, bit by bit sinking into silence, bloodshot eyes, and the moisture in her eyes suddenly filling, then sliding down the corners of her eyes...
How could Xiao ng not see her husband’s intentional avoidance, not see her husband’s heartache, not see her husband’s cautiousness and worry...
She knew that the child they longed for day and night was gone...
Before entering the operating room, she already knew... she couldn’t keep the child...
As the respirator was removed, Xiao ng’s cries resounded—
"Wuwu... Wuwuwu..."
Yin Shixiu’s eyes reddened...
The dean and Doctor Jiang didn’t know what to say for a mont.
Yin Shixiu stepped forward, sat back on the chair, holding Xiao ng’s hand, bringing it to his lips.
"Little Treasure, she... looked beautiful, she resembled you... her forehead had a birthmark, not ugly, shaped like a flower, very unique..."
"She slept peacefully... just like when she was in your belly..."
"Wuwu..."
"She just... wasn’t ant to be with us..."
"Wuwuwu..."
The room was filled with Xiao ng’s sobs, each sound tugging at Yin Shixiu’s heart.
