Chapter 176 His eyes reddened

Luo Shu was awakened by a series of noises outside the door; it was already late at night.

She lay in the VIP ward, with medicine dripping from her arm, her legs ice-cold, her pants rolled up, revealing a row of disgusting burns on her calves.

It was also accompanied by a faint, piercing, burning pain.

She pursed her lips, trying to move her body, which had gone numb from lying down, but she was too weak to exert any strength.

She looked around.

Beside the bed lay Luo Qiu, already asleep, her hand holding Luo Shu's hand, looking as if she hadn't slept all night but had just fallen asleep.

She wanted to say something but couldn't utter a word. "Cough cough..."

She felt her brain was completely dry, and her throat was parched.

My throat felt like it had been ripped out; I couldn't utter a word.

Her voice caught Luo Qiu's attention, and Luo Qiu woke up immediately.

"Shu'er..." she called her name cautiously.

Luo Shu gave a weak "hmm".

Luo Qiu burst into tears of joy and hurriedly pressed the bell.

"You scared me to death..." Luo Qiu frowned, holding back her tears. "Do you feel unwell anywhere?"

“Water…” she managed to squeeze out.

Luo Qiu quickly poured a glass of warm water, put a straw in it, and tilted it so she could drink from it.

Soon after, the nurses and the doctor on duty arrived, followed by a tall and slender man named Yu Zhan.

Luo Shu stared at him intently.

He hadn't slept either; there were faint dark circles around his eyes, and his white shirt was smudged with dust.

Yu Zhan walked to the bedside, and Luo Qiu naturally stepped aside.

“Mom, you rest first, I’ll watch over things here,” he said.

Luo Qiu couldn't refuse. Yu Zhan had been guarding the door the whole time and hadn't come in, so he probably hadn't slept either. However, he didn't come in while Luo Qiu was in the ward.

Seeing that Luo Shu had woken up, the doctor gave her a quick check-up and found nothing seriously wrong. After the doctor left, she also left.

Yu Zhan carefully took her hand, kissed the back of her hand that was still connected to an IV drip, and sat on the edge of the bed, covering the IV tube.

"Are you alright?" he asked softly.

"Thank goodness, where is Sister Hua'er?" Luo Shu couldn't help but ask.

What she was worried about at that moment was the baby in Yu Hua's belly.

Yu Zhan reached out and brushed a strand of hair from her cheek behind her ear, saying, "Sister is fine, she just needs to stay in the hospital for observation."

"She..." Luo Shu wanted to ask something, but she didn't know whether she should ask or not.

"Thank you!" Yu Zhan placed his large hand on her cheek, gently stroking it. "Your sister and child are both here."

Upon hearing this, Luo Shu felt relieved.

So Yu Zhan knew about it too.

Everyone knew, but they all tacitly kept quiet.

"I bled a little, which is a sign of threatened miscarriage, but the doctor said that if I rest in bed, there shouldn't be any problems."

Yu Hua's ward was next door. When they heard that Luo Shu had woken up, Lin Yi and Zhou Zhiyi came over.

"My darling! You're finally awake!" Zhou Zhiyi sat on the other side of the bed, holding her hand and stroking it repeatedly.

"Mom, I'm perfectly fine." Luo Shu's throat was still a little sore, and her voice was hoarse.

It was fine, but the sin was still worse.

One is her daughter-in-law, and the other is her own daughter. These are her two most precious women. What would happen if anything happened to them?

A myriad of thoughts arose in her mind.

Luo Shu is their family's lucky star!

"You can't be so reckless next time..." she felt sorry for him.

"My dear Miss Zhou, oh my god, why are you being so sentimental?" It almost made Luo Shu cry.

Yu Zhan, who was standing to the side, slowly got up and tucked the blanket around her.

"Shall I heat up some porridge for you, or is there something else you'd like to eat?" he asked.

"Have some porridge," Luo Shu said.

"Hmm." Yu Zhan walked out.

Only then did Luo Shu notice Lin Yi standing to the side.

"Brother-in-law," Luo Shu spoke first.

Lin Yi felt a little embarrassed to face her.

He was investigating whether Lin Xiao had done it, and he felt guilty, especially after these successive incidents, which made his mind feel even heavier.

"It's good that you're alright."

Before coming here, he had prepared a lot of things to say to her, but once he arrived, all the words he wanted to say got stuck in his throat.

He didn't know whether he should say it or not. What if Lin Xiao had someone do this? He would be so ashamed. How could he face Luo Shu? How could he face the Yu family?

Luo Shu was the savior of his wife and children, and the wife of his brother, while Lin Xiao was his younger sister.

This matter is really not easy to handle.

However, since they are now planning to send Lin Xiao abroad, it seems they really can't delay any longer and should do it as soon as possible.

"No need to be so polite. I would have saved anyone else too." Luo Shu naturally knew his difficulties.

The fact that this happened at this critical juncture is clearly aimed at Luo Shu, making it hard not to suspect that Lin Xiao is the most likely culprit.

But no one said a word.

Luo Shu couldn't ask anything right now; she was lying in bed and couldn't do anything, so there was no point in saying anything.

Lin Yi didn't make it clear, which naturally meant he had other considerations.

His children, his lover, and his family will all be greatly affected.

"You should rest well first, I'll come see you again tomorrow." He didn't want to linger.

Yu Hua was lying in a hospital bed. She had been in the fire for too long, and her lungs were slightly infected and bleeding. But thankfully, her child was still alive, a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.

Everyone knows she's pregnant now.

He has to go back and guard it.

As soon as Lin Yi left, Yu Zhan came in carrying a thermos.

Zhou Zhiyi exchanged a few private words with Luo Shu, and then tactfully left.

Yu Zhan opened the insulated food container, scooped out a bowl of meat porridge, sat by the bed, and fed her spoonful by spoonful.

"You were the one who saved me?" Luo Shu asked.

"Hmm," Yu Zhan replied indifferently, wiping the oil stains from the corner of her mouth with a tissue.

"Are you hurt?"

"Don't worry, no." His eyes were on the bowl, not on her.

Luo Shu looked him up and down, and there seemed to be nothing unusual about him.

She drank two full bowls of porridge and a large glass of water before she could suppress her discomfort.

She rested for a while before falling asleep again.

Yu Zhan didn't sleep all night, quietly staying by her bedside.

After sending him a message, Luo Shu rushed over immediately. When she arrived, Yu Hua had already come out of the fire, but Luo Shu had not.

God knows how panicked he was.

Without a second thought, he rushed into the inferno.

Everyone was shocked by his actions.

He tucked the blanket around her, keeping his eyes fixed on her.

His eyes were red.

I can't imagine what would have happened if he had arrived late.

He calmed himself down, went outside, and carefully closed the door behind him.

As soon as I stepped out of the ward, I saw Lin Yi leaning against the side of the corridor smoking.

Yu Zhan walked over, and Lin Yi handed him one. He took it, his fingers still slightly blistered from the burn, and put it in his mouth.

Lin Yi lit a cigarette for him.

"Have you treated your injury?" he asked.

"It's nothing serious, I've applied some ointment, it's not a big problem," Yu Zhan replied while smoking, his brows unconsciously furrowing.

When he carried Luo Shu out of the fire today, he was hit on the shoulder by a shelf. It didn't hurt much when it hit him, but it burned a red spot. His knees also fell to the ground as a result, scraping off a large patch of skin.

The two men chatted outside the door for a long time before returning to the ward.
