Li Tanglin closed the sliding door of the bathroom and leaned weakly against the door frame. She was the only one left in the room. Her emotions were written all over her face.
Not far away was a mirror. His own reflection in the mirror was pale, and there was an unconcealable panic between his brows.
Her hands trembled as she slowly touched her cheeks. She exhaled and muttered to herself, "… Don't blame me, Chin Jin-hee … Don't blame me … I … I had no choice … I can't let anything happen to me … You're not dead anyway …"
"… Just … don't ever wake up again."
Bai Lu stayed in the ICU for a while. Chin Jin-hee showed no signs of waking up. She looked at her mother's body which was filled with tubes. The vital signs at the side were beeping monotonously and hopelessly. Bai Lu's heart ached. She had witnessed the entire process of the car accident with her own eyes. She had seen her mother being hit by the car and covered in blood. At this moment, she was just lying there silently. Bai Lu felt that there was no way to calm the anger in her heart. There was a doctor waiting outside the ICU. Bai Lu recognized this doctor. She was her mother's attending physician. Her complexion was not very good to begin with. She had been agitated and was now in low spirits. Her entire person was covered in a layer of gray.
"Doctor Zheng, when … will my mother wake up?"
Doctor Zheng was personally called over by Liang Feifan. He knew that Bai Lu was someone Liang Feifan valued very much. Naturally, he did not dare to hide anything and said truthfully, "We're really not sure when your mother will wake up. During the car accident, the back of your mother's head was hit. There's a blood clot in her brain, so we can't perform a craniotomy now. We have to wait until she wakes up, so …"
"If my mother doesn't wake up, she'll just lie there like this forever?"
Doctor Zheng nodded awkwardly. "… We can't rule out this possibility."
Bai Lu shook violently and shook his head. "… No, I don't believe it. My mother, she … she'll be fine!"
A wave of dizziness washed over her. Her pale face seemed to have lost its last trace of color as her weak body leaned against the wall. Seeing this, Dr. Zheng quickly reached out to help her.
"Miss Bai, don't worry. You're pregnant too. If you continue to be in this state, it won't be good for the baby in your stomach. Let the nurse take you back to your room to rest first."
Bai Lu didn't say anything. The nurse immediately came up and carefully supported her. When they reached the door of the ward, Bai Lu saw Guan Chao waiting there.
"Mrs. Liang …"
"Assistant Guan."
Bai Lu stood at the door and said in a hoarse voice, "… I want to see Liang Feifan."
Chu Weiye had just finished a meeting. When he came out of the conference room, he saw his assistant waiting for him at the door.
He threw the documents he had read to his secretary behind him and gestured for her to leave. Then, he opened the office door and his assistant followed him in. After closing the door, Chu Weiye reached out to tug at his collar and asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter?"
"Chief Chu, there's a situation with Miss Bai."
Chu Weiye gently tapped his slender fingers on the large office table and nodded. "Tell me."
"I'm still investigating the details. So far, I know that Miss Bai's mother was involved in a car accident and it was related to Family Liang's Li Tanglin. However, when the police recorded Miss Bai's statement, she insisted that Li Tanglin pushed Chin Jin-hee. However, when the police went to Family Liang's side, they seemed to have a different story."
"Li Tanglin?"
Chu Weiye slowly stroked his eyebrows with his slender fingers. His gaze deepened. "Liang Feifan's mother and Bai Lu's mother? Do they know each other? "
"… We haven't found out what their relationship is yet."
Chu Weiye frowned unhappily. The assistant sensed his mood and hurriedly lowered his eyes. "… I'm sorry, Chief Chu. Because this happened so suddenly and Chin Jin-hee is still unconscious in the hospital, I wanted to inform you of the situation first, so I didn't investigate everyone's relationship."
Chu Weiye waved his hand. "It's fine. I didn't say I was blaming you." He walked around the large office table and took his coat from the hanger. After putting it on, he picked up his car keys. "Come with me to the hospital."
"Yes, sir."
Bai Lu had never felt so depressed. Even when Xiang Longjin and Liang Jingxiao betrayed her, she didn't feel that her life had become so dark.
Darkness. Yes, all she felt was darkness. She couldn't see the future and didn't dare to touch the present.
How in the world did all of this happen? Why did this happen so suddenly?
She used to think that after going through so many hardships, she would finally be able to marry Liang Feifan and become his wife. She used to think that she would always be happy, but she never dreamed that happiness was so fragile. If she wasn't careful, it would have already passed her by.
From heaven to hell, it turned out that the difference between heaven and hell was just a single thought.
Lying on the bed, Bai Lu felt her eyes sting. She carefully placed her hand on her lower abdomen. It was still flat for the time being, but she had a feeling that when she placed her hand on it, she could feel two heartbeats.
One was for her, and the other was for their child …
There was a sudden bang at the door of the ward. Someone had pushed the door open and entered. Bai Lu thought that it was Liang Feifan. She struggled to sit up, but the person who had entered was not Liang Feifan, but Chu Weiye.
She frowned and asked, "Why are you here?"
"You don't look well." Chu Weiye had come uninvited. He completely ignored the repulsion on Bai Lu's face, walked directly to her, and sat down in front of her. "How much have you been through?"
Chu Weiye. This man had always been favored by the heavens. He was able to control a Far Eastern businessman at such a young age. Naturally, he wasn't a simple character. Bai Lu didn't know much about him in the past. She only knew that people in the business circle would call him a smiling tiger behind his back. Sometimes, he would even eat people up without spitting out the bones. After the confrontation between the two of them, she didn't have a good impression of him.
But at this moment, she could clearly see the worry between his brows. Those were worries about her, Bai Lu.
She didn't know how to describe this feeling. It wasn't what she wanted, but she still felt moved when she saw it.
Perhaps when people were extremely sad, they would always want to find a shoulder to lean on. She didn't want to deny that from the time of the accident until now, her mental stress had reached a limit. She couldn't take any more.
"… I'm fine." It was rare for her to let down all her guard in front of him. Her voice was low, and she didn't have much energy.
Chu Weiye frowned and didn't mince his words. "I know about what happened to you. How's your mother now?"
Bai Lu glanced at him. She wasn't surprised that he would know about this. How difficult would it be for Chu Weiye to find out about this kind of thing when it involved someone from the Family Liang? She was too weak to think about anything else. Since he asked, she naturally answered, "She hasn't woken up yet. The doctor told me that my mother has a blood clot in her brain. If she can't wake up now, we can't do a craniotomy. Actually … Actually, I'm very scared."
"It's fine. Don't worry. Isn't it just a problem with her brain? I'll find you a few famous neurologists later. Nothing is absolute in this world. Do you trust me? "Chu Weiye said in a casual tone and deliberately softened his voice.
Actually, his tone was pleasant. It was just that when he spoke to others, he always sounded cold and distant, so he gave people the impression that he was cold and hard. But now, he just wanted to comfort the woman in his arms, so he could lower his voice and sound much sexier.
Bai Lu's heart skipped a beat, and she couldn't help but nod.
Right now, she desperately needed someone to acknowledge that her mother would be safe and sound.
So, she believed him.
"That's a good girl. Okay, don't cry." Chu Weiye looked at her red eyes and sighed. "I'm used to seeing you at daggers drawn against me. Seeing you so haggard now, I'm a little not used to it."
Bai Lu was teased by him and the corners of her mouth twitched. Although her smile was a little stiff, she couldn't deny that Chu Weiye's words made her feel a lot better.
"If you're here to see me today … Then, thank you."
"Then, what do you think I'm here for?"
Bai Lu was about to reply when the door of the ward was suddenly pushed open. She heard steady footsteps. She looked up and saw a man standing at the door with a gloomy expression.
Liang Feifan's expression was very ugly. He stood at the door for a while because when he came over, he found that Guan Chao wasn't guarding the door. Just as he was about to open the door, he heard the sound of conversation coming from inside.
Was Chu Weiye's voice difficult to distinguish? He really knew how to be pervasive. He came to the hospital at the right time.
In the past, Bai Lu would never have been able to sit with Chu Weiye and talk to him calmly. Now, however, she was sitting on the same bed with him. Even though they didn't do anything and merely exchanged a few words, Liang Feifan clearly heard the content of the conversation from the door, he still couldn't accept it.
His heart was already anxious enough, but at this moment, it seemed to have reached an explosive level. The way Liang Feifan put his hands in his trouser pockets didn't appear lazy and casual in the slightest. Instead, he gave off a strong sense of oppression.
"Mr. Liang, what a coincidence."
Chu Weiye raised his eyebrows and spoke first to break the somewhat awkward situation. He could feel that the woman sitting next to him was obviously resistant to Liang Feifan.
Of course, her own mother was still lying in the ICU, and it was very likely that the culprit was her husband's mother. How could she not be resistant?
Chu Weiye had always been a smart person. He had always been thinking about Bai Lu. It didn't matter if she was already Liang Feifan's wife. Even if she was pregnant with his child, he still couldn't help but want her. Now that he had the opportunity, he naturally wouldn't let it go easily.
