Su Xianyu fell forward following Ruan Sisi's force. The chair legs scraped harshly against the floor, and her belly seemed to hit the corner of the table hard.
She immediately clutched her lower abdomen and let out a pained groan. Her face instantly turned deathly pale, and fine cold sweat oozed out on her forehead.
"Ah—my belly... it hurts so much..." Su Xianyu curled up all of a sudden. Her voice was weak, but her eyes were firmly fixed on Ruan Sisi.
The guests around were startled by the noise and looked over one after another. Murmurs rose and fell.
Ruan Sisi didn't expect things to get so out of hand. A flicker of panic flashed in her eyes. She turned around and tried to run away, but Su Xianyu still grabbed the corner of her clothes.
"Don't go..." Su Xianyu's voice was filled with sobs, but her fingers were like iron pincers, clutching tightly, "Why did you do this..."
Just then, the door of the coffee shop was pushed open, and Feng Lin walked in with a cold face.
He heard from his subordinate that Mother Zhang had left long ago, but Xiaoyu hadn't returned home. He was about to give her a good talking-to this time...
Before he could finish his grumbling, he saw Su Xianyu in pain at a glance. His heart suddenly tightened. He rushed over in a few steps and hugged her into his arms.
"Xiaoyu! How are you?"
There was a tremor in Feng Lin's voice. He gently stroked her cheek, "Does your belly hurt a lot? Don't be afraid. I'll call a doctor right away!"
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ruan Sisi tried to slip away, but was suddenly swept by Feng Lin's sharp eyes.
Looking at those panicked eyes, he somehow felt a bit familiar. While dialing the emergency number, he suddenly tore off the mask on her face with one hand.
When Ruan Sisi's face was exposed to the air, Feng Lin's eyes narrowed. The aura around him became even colder, "It's you?!"
He stood up and grabbed Ruan Sisi's neck, pinning her against the wall. The killing intent in his eyes almost devoured her.
"How dare you show up again? If anything happens to Xiaoyu, I'll make you pay with your life!"
Ruan Sisi was choked and couldn't breathe. Her face turned bright red. Her hands grabbed Feng Lin's arm futilely, "It wasn't me... Feng Lin... Listen to my explanation..."
[Huh? When did Ruan Sisi return to the country? Didn't Feng Lin send people to block her before?]
[Ah! This crazy man Feng Lin, let go quickly! Can't you see that Sisi is about to suffocate? Hurry up and someone save her. Reward x50]
[Ruan Sisi totally asked for it. Sister Xiaoyu is the innocent victim. I hope she and the baby will be safe this time. Reward x50]
[Considering how much Feng Lin values Xiaoyu and the baby, I think Ruan Sisi is completely doomed this time.]
[I don't think so! Since she dares to be so arrogant, she must have some support.]
[Ruan Sisi is obviously just bluffing. If she really had the confidence, she would have confronted them head-on directly. Why would she need to disguise herself?]
[Didn't you notice that Ruan Sisi's belly is flat? Didn't she hide abroad because she was pregnant before? Could it be that the baby has already been born?]
[Makes sense. That's why she's so eager to get in a higher position. But the baby was just born not long ago. Who did she leave it to...]
"Enough!" Feng Lan's voice suddenly rang out. She didn't know when she had appeared at the door of the coffee shop. Seeing the scene in front of her, she quickly walked over and grabbed Feng Lin's arm.
"Feng Lin, stop! You can't touch this woman now!"
Feng Lin paused in his action for a moment in a daze, "Aunt?"
No wonder she could run back to City A again even though he had blocked all the channels.
Seeing this, Ruan Sisi quickly took the opportunity to break free and shivered as she hid behind Feng Lan.
The disbelief and anger in Feng Lin's eyes when he looked over made Feng Lan know that her nephew had cooled his heart towards her because of this.
But thinking of the baby Ruan Sisi had given birth to, Feng Lan closed her eyes and still didn't give in.
At this moment, the medical staff rushed to the coffee shop. Feng Lin's eyes swept between Feng Lan and Ruan Sisi, and finally landed on Su Xianyu with a pale face.
Right now, the most urgent thing was Su Xianyu's physical condition.
He bent down to pick up Su Xianyu and strode out. There was suppressed pain in his voice, "Xiaoyu, hold on. We'll be at the hospital soon."
Su Xianyu leaned in his arms, feeling his rapid heartbeat and tense body, and gently closed her eyes.
Ruan Sisi, who stayed behind, wanted to hold Feng Lan's arm, but was thrown off.
"Aunt, I..."
"Aren't you supposed to be in the hospital because of postpartum depression?"
Under Feng Lan's gaze as if seeing through everything, Ruan Sisi stammered and couldn't say a word.
Feng Lan was also worried about Su Xianyu's body, but what had just happened made her somehow a bit afraid to go to the hospital to face it.
"Don't make a fool of yourself here. Go back quickly!"
Ruan Sisi lowered her head, her face blushing. She was forcibly dragged away from the coffee shop by Feng Lan.
On the other side, the emergency room of the hospital was in a flurry. Su Xianyu was quickly pushed into the examination room.
Feng Lin anxiously waited outside, his hands tightly clenched, his knuckles turning white.
In his mind, the picture of Xiaoyu's pained groans just now kept flashing.
I don't know how long it had passed before Doctor Li walked out, with a trace of doubt on her face.
The examination result just now made her a bit confused. The baby had disappeared so cleanly, as if it had never existed.
But she was not only the attending doctor for Su Xianyu's injury this time, but also in charge of all the examinations during the entire pregnancy. Maybe this was a special situation.
"Doctor Li, how is Xiaoyu?" Feng Lin immediately stepped forward, his voice hoarse.
She hesitated for a moment and then said, "Mr. Feng, I'm very sorry. Your wife... had a miscarriage."
Although he had been somewhat mentally prepared, upon hearing this sentence, Feng Lin still staggered. Great grief instantly engulfed him.
He supported the wall to barely stand still. His eye sockets were a bit red, "Then... when will she wake up?"
"Soon, probably," Doctor Li sighed, "A miscarriage is very harmful to the body. She needs to rest well."
"Don't be too sad. You're still young. You'll have more children. Taking good care of her is the most important thing."
Feng Lin nodded and walked into the ward.
Su Xianyu was lying quietly on the hospital bed. Her face was still pale, and her long eyelashes cast a faint shadow under her eyelids.
He sat down beside the bed and gently held her hand. His palm was dry but a bit cold.
"Xiaoyu, I'm sorry." He said in a low voice, his voice full of self - blame, "I still didn't protect our baby well. You'll definitely blame me when you wake up."
"Thank goodness you're still by my side. As long as you're okay..."
He just sat there beside the bed, motionless, his eyes full of pain and guilt.
The sky outside the window gradually darkened. Only a dim bedside lamp was on in the ward, stretching his lonely figure very long.
I don't know how long it had passed, but Su Xianyu's finger moved.
Feng Lin immediately became alert. He leaned over, "Xiaoyu? Are you awake?"
Su Xianyu slowly opened her eyes. Her eyes were a bit dazed. It took a long time for them to focus on Feng Lin's face.
She opened her mouth. Her voice was hoarse and weak, "A Lin... our baby..."
"..."
