Lin Chuluo stepped on the accelerator all the way, running countless red lights. As soon as the car came to a halt, he flung open the door and staggered towards the gynecology department.
Along the way, he bumped into quite a few people. There were curses and roars behind him, but he was oblivious. He dashed towards the operating room.
Around a corner, he suddenly caught sight of Ning Anmiao's profile.
Since Ning Anmiao was here, did it mean that Jiang Xixi was with her too?
He was like a drowning man clutching at a straw. He charged straight up to Ning Anmiao and grabbed her wrist tightly. His eyes were full of urgency. "Where's Jiang Xixi? Where is she!"
Before Ning Anmiao could react, a sharp pain shot through her wrist. She gasped, and tears welled up in her eyes from the pain. "Lin Chuluo! Let go of me first!"
"Don't you understand what I'm saying!" Lin Chuluo suddenly roared. "Where is Jiang Xixi! I want to see her now! Tell her to come out right away!"
Before he could finish his words, suddenly, someone grabbed his neck, and his breathing became labored.
The other person's grip was so strong that it almost choked him!
"Let her go." Lu Yan's eyes were deep and dark, his emotions unreadable. The strength in his hand tightened instead of loosening. His voice was cold. "What right do you have to interrogate my people?"
In a desperate bid for survival, Lin Chuluo instinctively let go.
Ning Anmiao immediately withdrew her hand and stepped back to a safe distance, her eyes filled with caution.
At this moment, Lu Yan's eyebrows lifted slightly. He also let go of Lin Chuluo's neck. He casually took out a tissue from his pocket and wiped his palm.
He thought it was dirty.
Lin Chuluo was still not willing to give up. His voice was a bit hoarse. "Ning Anmiao, where is Jiang Xixi?"
He thought to himself that maybe Jiang Xixi had just gone to the restroom.
There was still time for everything.
Looking at Lin Chuluo in front of her, who was in a complete mess and disheveled, Ning Anmiao felt no sympathy at all. Her voice was cold. "She's already in the operating room. She should be out in about ten minutes."
"Why is she in the operating room?" Lin Chuluo's voice began to tremble, but he still refused to give up.
He didn't believe it.
He didn't believe that Jiang Xixi, who only had eyes for him, would be so heartless as to kill their child!
But the truth shattered his last bit of delusion. Before Ning Anmiao could answer him, a doctor walked out of the nearby operating room.
"Where are the family members of Jiang Xixi?"
Just as Ning Anmiao was about to respond, Lin Chuluo rushed over immediately. "It's me. I'm her family member. May I ask what's wrong with her?"
The doctor gave him a strange look. "Are you the father of the child?"
Lin Chuluo: "Yes. May I ask how she is?"
The doctor coughed. "The abortion is a minor operation. There's no problem. She'll wake up after the anesthetic wears off."
At that moment, Lin Chuluo's tall body swayed a bit.
He could hardly stand.
Lu Yan didn't care about what was going on with Lin Chuluo at all. His eyes were only fixed on Ning Anmiao's wrist.
There was a red mark on it, which was particularly obvious on her fair arm.
"Does it hurt?" he asked in a low voice.
Ning Anmiao bit her lip. "A bit."
His eyes darkened.
"Impossible..." Lin Chuluo was stunned for a moment. His lips began to tremble, and he murmured to himself repeatedly. "It's impossible. Xixi would never be willing to abort our child..."
The doctor was taken aback, a bit surprised. "Wasn't this abortion a decision you two made together as a couple?"
Despair had completely covered Lin Chuluo's eyes. He seemed to have lost all his strength and slumped to the ground.
She really had aborted the child.
While Lin Chuluo was still in a daze, Lu Yan took long strides and walked up to him in a few steps. He punched him hard!
This punch brought Lin Chuluo back to reality.
The pain on his face made his dull eyes blink. He finally saw the man in front of him clearly.
"You're fucking crazy?" Lin Chuluo cursed and pushed Lu Yan away. He took several deep breaths. "You're satisfied now, aren't you?"
"Seeing my family fall apart and my life in ruins, do you feel really accomplished?" Lin Chuluo was on the verge of collapse and shouted hysterically at Lu Yan.
"Lu Yan, you've won!" He sneered. There was not a trace of regret in his eyes, only hatred.
In his opinion, the current situation was entirely created by Lu Yan and Zhou Si.
It was all to defeat him.
Lu Yan lowered his eyes and looked at the crazy Lin Chuluo. He pursed his lips, and his voice was cold. "Win against you? You're not even worthy."
Lin Chuluo's pupils shrank.
Yes, Lu Yan had always been like this.
Since college, Lu Yan had always been high and mighty, never putting anyone in his eyes.
He was so arrogant, as if he didn't care about anyone.
Lin Chuluo had known him for so many years and had never seen him regard anyone as a real rival.
"Lin Chuluo, no one wants to win against you." Lu Yan sneered. "Don't take yourself too seriously. I'm not interested in you, and I feel the same way about the Lin family."
Lin Chuluo felt a lump of turbid air in his chest that he couldn't breathe out. He felt extremely stuffy.
Ning Anmiao rubbed the place where Lin Chuluo had grabbed her. It was starting to turn blue and purple.
She walked over and stood in front of Lin Chuluo.
"This is Jiang Xixi's phone. Take it." Ning Anmiao took out a phone from her pocket and placed it in front of him.
Ning Anmiao was extremely calm and rational. She walked over and grabbed Lu Yan's hand. "Since Jiang Xixi's husband is here, let's go."
Lu Yan remained silent and let Ning Anmiao pull him away.
He was not interested in anything, nor did he have any desire for competition or victory.
Everything he did was just for Miao Miao.
...
After Jiang Xixi's operation, she was transferred to a general ward and was waiting for the anesthetic to wear off so that she could wake up.
While waiting, Lin Chuluo sat on the bench, looking dejected.
Holding the phone that Ning Anmiao had just given him, he was in a gloomy mood. He repeatedly turned on the screen and then turned it off again.
He couldn't unlock it.
Jiang Xixi's phone was password - protected, but he had never cared about it, so naturally he didn't know what the password was.
He tried a few times.
First, he tried Jiang Xixi's birthday, then his own, and then their wedding anniversary.
None of them worked.
The repeated failures made Lin Chuluo extremely anxious. His fingers kept tapping on the screen, but he still couldn't unlock it.
After trying too many times, the phone was about to shut down automatically.
He cursed angrily and threw the phone aside.
At this moment, the woman lying on the bed suddenly coughed several times and then slowly opened her eyes.
"You're here."
As if it was expected, Jiang Xixi was surprisingly calm, not like her usual self.
Lin Chuluo suddenly stood up and rushed to her bedside. His voice was cold and emotionless, almost devoid of any feeling.
"Why did you abort the baby?"
