Chapter 126 Miscarriage

In the courtyard

Deputy Battalion Commander Wang's mother was tending to the vegetable garden in the small courtyard when she saw Lancao, who was soaking wet, and she ran back into the house in the blink of an eye.

Although she was puzzled, she didn't want to ask; she was annoyed just seeing the couple.

Out of sight, out of mind

A short while

"Mom, has my wife come back yet?" Deputy Battalion Commander Wang's voice echoed into the courtyard before he even entered the house.

Deputy Battalion Commander Wang's mother looked at her flustered son with suspicion.

She glared at him and sneered, "Give me back your wife? She's like a ghost; she went back to her room."

Deputy Battalion Commander Wang strode into the house. There was no one in the living room. He then pushed open the bedroom door.

At this moment, Lancao was shivering incessantly under the thick quilt, feeling as if she was about to die.

Deputy Battalion Commander Wang stepped forward and sat on the bed. He reached out to pull back the quilt, but couldn't budge it; the orchids inside were pressing it down tightly with their arms.

There was nothing he could do but patiently whisper, "Lan Cao, Mao Mao isn't dead, you're mistaken."

Deputy Battalion Commander Wang has already inquired about the situation from the military spouses by the river.

He also felt that Lan Cao must have misjudged the situation; how could an animal just disappear into thin air? He was just scaring himself.

Lancao, who was under the blanket, was too weak to reply; she was in severe abdominal cramps.

Deputy Battalion Commander Wang noticed that Lan Cao didn't respond to anything he said, so he thought he should let her calm down by herself for a while.

As soon as I stood up, I felt something sticky on my pants. When I wiped them with my hand, I found they were covered in blood.

Deputy Battalion Commander Wang's eyes widened for a moment.

He turned around and yanked off the blanket, finding Lancao lying face down in a pool of blood, her face deathly pale.

He quickly picked up Lancao and ran while shouting, "Mother, something happened to Lancao!"

The deputy battalion commander's mother was startled by the shouts and saw her son rushing out carrying Lancao, who was covered in blood.

She didn't care about anything else, went straight into the house to grab the money and tickets, and then ran out.

Military Hospital

Deputy Battalion Commander Wang, clutching the orchid, anxiously called out, "Doctor! Doctor!"

Hearing the sound, Head Nurse Cao quickly walked over to Deputy Battalion Commander Wang and checked on the condition of the orchid.

"Quick, come with me, your wife might have miscarried, go to the gynecologist."

After speaking, Head Nurse Cao quickly walked ahead to lead the way.

Deputy Battalion Commander Wang didn't have time to ask any more questions. He carried Lancao and followed Nurse Cao toward the gynecology department.

One hour later

After the doctor came out of the operating room, Deputy Battalion Commander Wang and his son grabbed the doctor's arm together.

They asked in unison, "How is my daughter-in-law? How is my daughter-in-law?"

The doctor pulled down his mask and looked at Deputy Battalion Commander Wang and his son with a probing gaze.

He sighed and said, "The baby couldn't be saved. The pregnant woman caught a chill and was also frightened."

"The patient's endometrium was already quite thin, and this miscarriage occurred."

The doctor paused, scrutinizing Deputy Battalion Commander Wang's mother, pondering whether to tell her the truth.

She finally didn't hide anything and said softly, "The patient had a D&C procedure, so it might be difficult for her to get pregnant later."

"What?" Deputy Battalion Commander Wang's mother's voice was shrill as she kept hitting her son.

She muttered to herself, "Listen to this, she didn't even know she was pregnant, and now she's ruined my precious grandson."

Instead of paying attention to his mother, Deputy Battalion Commander Wang asked the doctor, "How is my wife? She lost so much blood."

The doctor nodded in satisfaction, his impression of Deputy Battalion Commander Wang improving.

She smiled and said, "If I go back and eat more nutritious food, there won't be any major problems."

After the nurses pushed Lancao into the ward, Deputy Battalion Commander Wang and his mother finally saw her.

Seeing that Lancao was unconscious, Deputy Battalion Commander Wang's mother glanced at her son standing by the bed.

She walked up to Deputy Battalion Commander Wang and whispered, "Son, listen to your mother, you should get a divorce from Lancao."

Deputy Battalion Commander Wang's face instantly turned cold, his eyes bloodshot as he glared at his mother.

He said coldly, "Mother, Lancao just had a miscarriage, and you treat her like this? Besides, I will not get a divorce."

When Deputy Battalion Commander Wang's mother saw her son looking at her like that, she burst into tears of grievance and cried out, "Who am I doing this for?"

"Isn't this all for you? Lan Cao can't have children anymore, and you're trying to make our family line die out."

Lan Cao was awakened by her mother-in-law's shouts, but she didn't open her eyes. She only heard her say that she could no longer have children.

The body under the blanket trembled uncontrollably.

On another hospital bed, a pregnant woman was being yelled at by Deputy Battalion Commander Wang's mother, causing her a splitting headache.

She shouted angrily, "Stop howling! Don't you know this is a hospital? What are you howling about? Do you think this is your own home?"

The wailing of Deputy Battalion Commander Wang's mother stopped abruptly, and she looked at her son with a wronged expression.

Deputy Battalion Commander Wang knew what kind of person his mother was, so he ignored her.

She simply said coldly, "Mother, go back and make some nutritious soup for Lancao. I will not get a divorce."

After saying that, he picked up a stool and sat down directly in front of Lan Cao's hospital bed, waiting for her to wake up.

Lancao heard her mother-in-law's footsteps fading into the distance, then she opened her eyes and looked at the man sitting in front of the hospital bed.

When Deputy Battalion Commander Wang saw that his wife was awake, he stepped forward, took her hand, and asked with delight, "Wife, you're awake? Are you feeling unwell?"

Lan Cao's lips moved slightly, and she whispered, "The child isn't..."

Deputy Battalion Commander Wang interrupted her, comforting her: "Wife, once you've recovered, we can have children in the future."

"Relax and take good care of yourself. We can have as many children as you want in the future."

Lancao's tears streamed down her face as she looked at the man in front of her, who, although not particularly tall or imposing.

But he was genuinely good to me, so why was I jealous of Gu Yihan, harming myself and my unborn child?

Lancao tightly grasped Deputy Battalion Commander Wang's hand and cried, "My lord, I was wrong. I shouldn't have let jealousy cloud my judgment."

Deputy Battalion Commander Wang awkwardly wiped away Lan Cao's tears, saying, "Let's not compare ourselves to others. Let's live a good life as a family from now on."

"Look, I'm jealous of Huailin too. He's a young man who's already a regimental commander. He comes from a good family and is very capable."

Deputy Battalion Commander Wang patiently comforted his wife: "But there are many couples who can't compare to us."

"If you don't compare yourself to Lu Huailin and his wife, but instead compare yourself to those who are not as good as us, wouldn't you feel better?"

Lan Cao listened to Deputy Battalion Commander Wang's absurd arguments and found that they actually made some sense. She chuckled, and the gloom in her heart vanished.

Seeing Lan Cao's delight, Deputy Battalion Commander Wang stood up and said with a smile, "I'll go buy you some food."

Lan Cao watched Deputy Battalion Commander Wang leave the ward, then noticed the pregnant woman on the bed next to her looking at her with envy.

She thought that maybe she was right to be in charge, and that others would envy her.
