Jian Liangtong was very weak, and the doctor suggested she stay in the hospital for observation overnight and be discharged the next day.
At night.
Jian Ningfeng stayed with Jian Liangtong, while He Xinyun took Hao Hao ho to stay overnight.
Past two in the morning.
Jian Liangtong slowly opened her eyes, glanced at Jian Ningfeng sleeping by her bedside, lifted the blanket, got out of bed without putting on shoes, and walked straight to the door.
Outside the intensive care unit.
Jian Liangtong stood at the window, looking into the ICU at the man lying silently on the bed, his body covered in tubes.
Even at this mont, watching him sleep soundlessly there, Jian Liangtong still couldn’t believe it.
The very man who was sending her ho last night, fulfilling her wishes and blessing her, how could he now be lying there dying?
Jian Liangtong covered her mouth, tears flooding down.
"Who is it?"
Suddenly, a woman’s voice ca from behind.
Jian Liangtong dropped her eyes despondently, quickly wiped her eyes with her hand, and turned to look over.
Fang Jingting stood not far down the corridor, no longer in the disheveled state seen earlier in the morning. Her clothes were luxurious and neat, and aside from her sowhat weary expression, she again assud the stance of a noblewoman and a strong woman.
Seeing Jian Liangtong, the confusion in Fang Jingting’s eyes was instantly replaced by cold malice, "What are you doing here?"
Jian Liangtong pressed her lips together, said nothing to her, turned to take a deep look at Huo Chengjin, then lifted her feet intending to leave the ICU.
"Stop!" Fang Jingting shouted.
Jian Liangtong stopped, looking at Fang Jingting.
Fang Jingting took a deep breath and walked confidently up to Jian Liangtong, "I ask you, is that child Shao Yun’s or Cheng Jin’s?"
"He’s my child," Jian Liangtong said.
"Your child? Are you an earthworm? Can you give birth on your own?" Fang Jingting mocked.
Jian Liangtong frowned slightly, preparing to leave.
"Whether the child is Shao Yun’s or Cheng Jin’s, he is a descendant of the Huo Family. A child of the Huo Family must not be left outside, living with a mother like you. Therefore, the child must be brought back to the Huo Family, to acknowledge their heritage, and be raised by our Huo Family," Fang Jingting said.
"Impossible." Jian Liangtong’s eyes turned red, staring at Fang Jingting, "Hao Hao is my child, and has nothing to do with the Huo Family. If the Huo Family wants a descendant, there are plenty of won willing to give birth for the Huo Family..."
"Do you really think all won are shaless like you, casually giving birth for n? Ridiculous!" Fang Jingting squinted and sneered, "I’m warning you today, our Huo Family has set our sights on the child. If you voluntarily send the child back to the Huo Family, we can discuss it all nicely. If not, just wait for a court summons, and see whether the court will eventually give the child to the Huo Family or to a woman like you with a chaotic private life!"
"I’ve said, Hao Hao is my child, and has not an iota of relation to your Huo Family. Even if it costs my life, I won’t let you snatch my child!"
"If you want to gain benefits through the child, just say it, no need to pull those noble, selfless, and great reasons. Tell , how much money do you want?" Fang Jingting coldly stared at Jian Liangtong with contempt, seeing through her "ga," and scoffed.
Jian Liangtong’s slender body trembled lightly, her eyes red with anger staring at Fang Jingting, "You are also a mother, would you give up your child for so-called interests?"
"I’m not like you."
Fang Jingting raised her chin, "I’ve seen many girls like you, who value money more than self-respect and conscience. What’s strange about you giving up your own flesh and blood for money?"
Conscience?
Jian Liangtong’s palm was pierced by her fingertips, a sharp pain climbing up her nerves.
Four years ago, when she plotted such things, did she ever consider the word conscience?
Fang Jingting suddenly leaned close to Jian Liangtong, her lips near her ear, and whispered in a voice only the two of them could hear, "A woman like you doesn’t deserve to live in this world, let alone have a child. If I were you, I’d just die, just die..."
Fang Jingting’s voice was like a swarm of wriggling evil insects crawling around Jian Liangtong’s ears.
Soon, those evil insects crawled into her ears, and into her throat, then spread throughout her internal organs.
Suddenly hit, unprepared, Jian Liangtong fell backward.
Bang——
A loud noise.
"Tongtong..."
Jian Ningfeng watched in horror as Jian Liangtong fell, his heart shattered instantly.
Fang Jingting’s outstretched hand hadn’t had ti to retract, and hearing Jian Ningfeng’s voice, she gasped sharply, panic flashing in her eyes as she turned to look at Jian Ningfeng.
