Chapter 296: Zheng Yue Lost Her Child
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Seeing her boss flirting with her “lady boss” in front of her, the female employee quickly said that she had a stomachache and quickly fled the event location.
If she didn’t leave now, she would become a thousand-watt light bulb.
“Shall we go, boss?” Huo Yichen deliberately changed the way he addressed her and teased her.
Murong Qiao’s face heated up. “Ahem.”
She quickly became serious, as if she wasn’t the one who was making jokes just now.
After this small interlude, the two of them finally entered the office.
Fortunately, Murong Qiao’s basic manners as a boss were raging in her heart, making her sit back at her desk.
However, Huo Yichen didn’t.
“You’re behaving now?” He paced to Murong Qiao’s side.
Murong Qiao gripped the pen in her hand tightly and looked up at him. Then, her heart suddenly tightened when she met his deep eyes.
She had a bad feeling about this.
The second Murong Qiao thought of this, she felt the world spin in her vision and she fell into a softness.
It was Huo Yichen who picked her up and placed her on the sofa.
“I want to work.” Murong Qiao tried to struggle.
Her entire body was facing upwards. Huo Yichen’s arms wrapped around her and she had no choice but to look him in the eye.
The sofa, which had been s.p.a.cious enough to seat three people, had become crowded. Under the effect of gravity, Huo Yichen’s body pressed down on Murong Qiao slightly, transmitting a scorching temperature.
Huo Yichen leaned over and their noses touched. “You know your job now?”
Murong Qiao couldn’t help but blush. She wanted to turn her face away to avoid Huo Yichen’s burning gaze, but there was only so much s.p.a.ce. Thus, she turned her head and exposed her fair neck to him.
It was indescribably fair and smooth like porcelain, and it carried a rising heat that hooked Huo Yichen’s restless heart.
“Let me kiss you,” he whispered.
Murong Qiao’s eyes lit up. “You will let me go after kissing me?”
Her words made Huo Yichen laugh. He pursed his lips, and his chest trembled as pa.s.sion overflowed from his throat.
He lowered his head to look at her. His gaze was filled with calmness, as if he was looking at a small prey in his palm.
“Do you think you can bargain?” Huo Yichen asked.
He leisurely controlled Murong Qiao’s wrist with one hand and used the other to play with her messy hair.
He was clearly the one supporting them from above, but he seemed to be at ease. Even his breathing couldn’t be messed up.
Murong Qiao on the other hand, didn’t say anything. When Huo Yichen wasn’t paying attention, she suddenly raised her head and kissed him.
She was so fast that even a jaguar would feel inferior.
“Alright, I’m done kissing. Hurry up and leave.” She bargained shamelessly.
However, Huo Yichen didn’t give her a chance to say anything else.
He kissed her and plundered into a dazed state.
The atmosphere was flirtatious and wrapped around the two of them with traces of heat.
Knock knock.
At this moment, an untimely knock sounded on the door.
“Boss, I’m here to deliver the doc.u.ments.”
Murong Qiao heard the sound and immediately got up to open the door, but Huo Yichen had bad intentions.
His kiss made Murong Qiao’s lips red and swollen. Anyone who saw it would know what was going on. Instead of stopping her, he let go of her and let her do whatever she wanted.
Murong Qiao glared at him. This time, she lay on the sofa obediently and stopped moving.
“Boss?” The person outside was puzzled and called out again.
Murong Qiao didn’t say anything, obviously planning to play dead.
In any case, it was impossible for her to open the door with her red and swollen lips. Otherwise, this matter would bother her for an entire day.
Huo Yichen looked at Murong Qiao’s flushed face and suddenly got up and walked towards the door.
Seeing his actions, Murong Qiao was so frightened that she grabbed his collar and pulled him back to the sofa.
“You’re not allowed to go!” Her nervous voice was trembling.
Huo Yichen went back with her force and had no intention of breaking free. Seeing that Murong Qiao took it seriously, he spoke slowly.
“Then—”
“Kiss kiss kiss! You can kiss me for as long as you want!”
It might have been ten minutes or an hour. Zheng Yue did not know how much time had pa.s.sed.
A pattering sound in the distance, like human footsteps, was followed by a straight line of light shining through the darkness. It was the light of a flashlight.
She could not die here.
When Zheng Yue saw the beam of light, she bit her tongue hard to force herself to stay awake.
However, her body could not exert any strength and Zheng Yue could only call for help weakly.
“Save me…” She mustered all her strength.
“You, this—” When the villager who had followed the voice saw Zheng Yue, they stuttered.
Fortunately, the rationality in his brain took over as he hurriedly took out his phone to call the ambulance.
Zheng Yue had lost too much blood. Seeing that someone had finally come to save her, she finally fainted.
It was not until two o’clock in the morning that she was successfully sent to the hospital by an ambulance.
According to the villager who had found her, it was because he had seen a middle-aged man with scratches on his face and had heard a loud bang on the other side of the mountain that he decided to investigate.
Thinking that it might be a bear, he ended up discovering Zheng Yue’s existence instead.
As it was late at night, the villagers did not remember the middle-aged man’s characteristics. They only knew that his face had b.l.o.o.d.y scratches.
If Zheng Yue had heard the villager’s explanation, she would have guessed that the person who ran away was Nan Kang.
However, she was lying unconscious on the operating table, surrounded by the surgeon and a group of nurses.
“The pregnant woman is bleeding profusely…”
“…I can’t. She’s lost too much blood… I can only remove it now…”
“…The child has lost his heartbeat! Prepare for emergency treatment…”
In the chaos, Zheng Yue vaguely caught a few words.
The sound of machinery and voices mixed together, made her head hurt.
However, before she could regain consciousness, she was suppressed by the anesthetic that was injected into her body again.
The night pa.s.sed.
By the time Zheng Yue woke up from her coma, it was already the afternoon of the next day.
Due to the special situation, Zheng Yue did not have a cell phone or anything that could prove her ident.i.ty, so the hospital temporarily arranged for her to stay in a single ward.
“Baby… baby!” Zheng Yue muttered and suddenly woke up.
The moment she opened her eyes, she saw pure white.
Zheng Yue blinked in a daze and looked at the ceiling above her head. She smelled the unique disinfectant smell of the hospital.
She slowly sat up from the bed and realized that she had been changed into a hospital gown. At the same time, there was another change that could not be ignored…
Her abdomen was flat. When she touched it, she felt the st.i.tched wound.
“You’re awake.” A female doctor pushed the door open and entered.
When Zheng Yue woke up just now, there was a commotion on the equipment, reminding the doctor of her condition.
The female doctor walked to Zheng Yue’s side. “How do you feel? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?”
She held a record report in her hand and prepared to record as usual.
“My, my child…” Zheng Yue couldn’t answer the female doctor.
The situation was right in front of her. She seemed to be asking the obvious, but she was unwilling to accept reality.
The female doctor looked at her with pity. “You—you had a miscarriage.”
“When you were sent to the hospital, you were already in a bad state. Your child could not be saved.” The female doctor sighed. “Your health was very poor. In order to protect you…”
A miscarriage was already dangerous. In addition, Zheng Yue’s physical condition at that time did not allow them to undergo other resuscitation procedures for her child.
In such a special situation, the best solution that the doctors quickly came up with was to remove Zheng Yue’s dead fetus together with her uterus to save her life first..
