Mo Beichen's face darkened. He opened the door, but the butler still plucked up his courage and said, "Sir, something's wrong. The little miss suddenly fainted."
If it weren't for such an incident, the butler wouldn't have dared to knock on this door on the wedding night.
"Send her to the hospital quickly." Mo Beichen's face also changed.
In the emergency room, the doctor was conducting various examinations. Outside, Xia Weilan looked worried. There was no trace of the previous joy on her face.
"Do you think Xiaochun ate something unclean at the wedding?" Xia Weilan frowned and asked.
"Unlikely. Xiaochun has never shown any allergic reactions to anything before." Mo Beichen shook his head. "Don't jump to conclusions. Let's wait and see what the doctor says."
It was one o'clock in the morning before the doctor came out of the ward. Seeing the two people still in their wedding clothes, the doctor sighed and said, "Come with me. I have something to tell you."
In the room, the doctor looked rather solemn, and Xia Weilan's heart sank.
"I hope you're mentally prepared..." the doctor suddenly said.
Xia Weilan tightened her grip.
"Just say it," Mo Beichen put his arm around Xia Weilan.
"Xiaochun has leukemia. For this disease, only a suitable blood - type match can provide a cure. The problem is that Xiaochun has the rare panda blood. Of course, if her parents are found, there's a good chance that one of them has this blood type. But..."
The doctor didn't continue. Everyone knew that Xiaochun was an orphan adopted by Mo Beichen. Whether they could find her parents was uncertain.
"Doctor, isn't there any of this blood type in the blood bank?" Xia Weilan frowned and asked.
"We just checked the records. There's none," the doctor shook his head.
Back in the ward, Xiaochun was still in a coma.
Xia Weilan looked at Xiaochun's sleeping face and felt heart - broken. Such a young child had to suffer from such a disease. Even if a match was found, the treatment would be risky and arduous.
Mo Beichen was on the phone in the corridor, instructing someone to look for a suitable blood type.
Xu Wei said respectfully on the other end of the phone, "President, the investigation you asked me to conduct is completed. The person who distracted the president's wife and tried to prevent you from making it to the wedding was sent by Ouyang Mingqi."
"I think he's tired of living," Mo Beichen was full of anger and had nowhere to vent. He immediately ordered, "It's time to give him a shocking lesson."
Mo Beichen had warned Ouyang Mingqi before not to have any thoughts about Xiaochun. Unexpectedly, he had forged Xiaochun's DNA results to deceive Weilan. Fine. Since warnings were useless, it was time for some real action.
It was already night when Ouyang Mingqi finally returned to the apartment. As soon as he entered the door, he saw a mess on the floor.
Ouyang Mingqi's face darkened. This was the fifth time Xia Ruolin had smashed things this month. She was simply out of control.
The light in the room came on, and a disheveled figure emerged. Xia Ruolin, with her hair in a mess, saw Ouyang Mingqi as if he were a savior. "You're finally here. Can you stop locking me up? Let me go out and get some fresh air. I'm going crazy."
Xia Ruolin looked pleading. Being locked up in this place with nowhere to go was driving her mad.
"Stop talking. Don't you remember your current situation? You're a murderer. If you run out like this and are recognized, what if something happens to the baby? Will it be too late to regret then?" Ouyang Mingqi repeated the same old line.
This time, Xia Ruolin was completely desperate. "After I give birth to the baby, will I have to go back to prison? What's the difference between that and this place? I'll definitely go crazy."
At least here she could watch TV and have good food and drinks. If she went to that cold prison, it would be no place for a human being.
Ouyang Mingqi felt a headache coming on. At this point, all Xia Ruolin was good for was giving birth to the baby.
Ouyang Mingqi comforted Xia Ruolin a few words and then left in a hurry, saying he had something to do. He didn't even want to look at Xia Ruolin anymore.
When Ouyang Mingqi left the apartment, he saw several cars parked in the previously quiet corridor.
"That's him. He's here!" came an angry shout from the car.
Without saying a word, Ouyang Mingqi turned around and ran back into the room. He locked the door.
In the room, the disheveled Xia Ruolin looked at him blankly.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Ouyang Mingqi, come out and pay your debts!" The door was pounded hard several times.
Ouyang Mingqi hid in the wardrobe and said to Xia Ruolin outside, "Don't tell them I'm here."
Before Xia Ruolin could react, the door was kicked open. The people who rushed in ignored Xia Ruolin and started rummaging through the place to look for Ouyang Mingqi.
"We found him. He's here," came a man's voice. Then, Ouyang Mingqi was dragged out, held tightly by someone.
Without saying a word, they started punching and kicking Ouyang Mingqi right in front of Xia Ruolin. "Let you not pay your debts. Let you cheat people everywhere."
Everyone knew that the Ouyang family had gone bankrupt, and there was little hope of getting back the money they had lent. They could only vent their anger by beating him up.
"Stop hitting him. Stop hitting him," Xia Ruolin hugged her belly and shouted.
But no one paid any attention to her. They left in a hurry only when they were tired from beating.
On the ground, Ouyang Mingqi was covered in wounds. He slowly got up from the ground. He looked as miserable as Xia Ruolin.
"Hehe," Xia Ruolin couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh. "I used to count on you, but now..."
A murderer, a bankrupt man being chased for debts, and an unborn baby. It was all too tragic.
"What did you say?" Ouyang Mingqi looked at Xia Ruolin coldly.
"Why are you glaring at me? If you have the guts, glare at those who have caused you this trouble!" Xia Ruolin felt that at this moment, she and Ouyang Mingqi were in the same miserable situation.
Ouyang Mingqi was stunned for a moment. Just then, his phone rang. He answered it, and there were complaints from his parents on the other end. "What have you done? Why are all the banks coming to collect debts and even planning to auction off the old house?"
Ouyang Mingqi wiped the blood from his lips. "What did you say?"
"Who on earth have you offended?" Xia Ruolin looked at Ouyang Mingqi expressionlessly. This man could no longer protect her.
Who would have thought that Ouyang Mingqi would let out a bitter laugh. "Who else could it be? It must be Mo Beichen."
Today, Ouyang Mingqi had just used some tricks to distract Xia Weilan, and now, someone had come after him. Mo Beichen was really ruthless.
"Mo Beichen again!" Xia Ruolin murmured. Why did the person who used to be her childhood sweetheart want to drive her to such a desperate situation? He couldn't even wait for her to give birth to the baby.
In the hospital, the newly - wedded couple simply rested in the ward for a night.
It wasn't until the next day that Xiaochun slowly woke up from the bed.
"Why am I here?" Xiaochun looked at everything in the room in surprise, at the white hospital bed, and at Xia Weilan and Mo Beichen sleeping beside her.
Hearing this, Mo Beichen immediately opened his eyes and got up to check on Xiaochun. "Xiaochun, how do you feel? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"
"No. I just feel a bit weak. What's wrong with me?" Xiaochun blinked her eyes. Her bright black eyes were full of confusion.
Xia Weilan also came over. Seeing that Xiaochun was finally awake, she let out a sigh of relief. But when it came to Xiaochun's question, the two of them looked at each other and suddenly fell silent.
"Am I having a cold?" Xiaochun said helplessly. "I'm so useless. How could I catch a cold out of the blue?"
"Yes, Xiaochun. It's okay now," Xia Weilan immediately followed Xiaochun's words.
