A slight vibration from the phone interrupted their conversation.

Gu Yiming picked up his phone and gestured for her to answer it. Xu Xiaoxiao immediately fell silent, sitting quietly to the side with a gentle and understanding demeanor.

Upon hearing what the other person said, Gu Yiming's brows furrowed, a hint of impatience flashing in his eyes. He gave a soft "hmm," hung up the phone, and immediately stood up.

"I'm leaving now." Gu Yiming seemed a little anxious. He hurriedly said this to Xu Xiaoxiao while picking up his coat, and then turned to leave.

"So soon?" Having only just arrived, Xu Xiaoxiao's face showed a slight hint of disappointment at having to leave. Although she didn't want to put Gu Yiming in a difficult position, she couldn't help but want to persuade him to stay. She had just told Gu Yiming about her pregnancy and hadn't yet fully enjoyed the pampering he gave her, so naturally she felt a little resentful.

"Um."

Gu Yiming nodded silently, and after a moment of contemplation, continued, "The media is already investigating Jiang Hua's miscarriage, so she can't come and go so frequently anymore."

Gu Yiming's plan was very successful and absolutely could not be stopped halfway. In order to reassure Xu Xiaoxiao, he patiently explained again.

Upon hearing Gu Yiming's words, Xu Xiaoxiao immediately felt relieved and even a little smug. Jiang Hua had miscarried, while her child was perfectly fine in her womb. Moreover, Gu Yiming clearly loved her more, and it wouldn't be long before she could take his place.

Xu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but imagine what she would be like as Gu Yiming's wife, and couldn't help but laugh out loud. She suddenly came back to her senses and immediately stopped laughing, saying to Gu Yiming with concern, "Then be careful."

Everyone knows that the greatest pleasure men enjoy when they're having an affair is the thrill; the easier it is to be discovered, the more excited they become. Xu Xiaoxiao wasn't worried at all that Gu Yiming would reduce his visits here because of the media.

Gu Yiming deliberately suppressed the news of the miscarriage, but it still reached the ears of the media, suggesting it was intentionally orchestrated. Gu Yiming realized the miscarriage didn't seem like an accident and wanted to use the media to expose it, but he despised the media's predatory behavior at the slightest hint of trouble.

As soon as Gu Yiming arrived at the hospital, he saw a large number of reporters gathered at the hospital entrance, which even affected the entry and exit of the hospital. People passing by looked at them with disgust, and several reporters even sneaked into the hospital when the doctors were not paying attention.

Jiang Hua's condition was already very dangerous after the miscarriage, and those reporters only cared about getting sensational stories without considering the feelings of the person involved. This was tantamount to rubbing salt into Jiang Hua's wounds and would inevitably affect her recovery. After a moment's thought, Gu Yiming immediately arranged for someone to transfer Jiang Hua to a private hospital to recuperate.

"I'm sorry, I didn't take good care of you." Gu Yiming looked at Jiang Hua's pale face and his heart clenched. He felt very guilty for not protecting Jiang Hua and their second child. He sat down next to Jiang Hua, who was still not awake, and spoke to her, hoping she could hear him.

The doctor said that Jiang Hua had lost her smile. The reason she hadn't woken up yet was perhaps because she had some unresolved issues and wanted to escape reality, so she refused to wake up on her own.

Gu Yiming frowned, knowing that he had been busy with Jiang Hua's revenge lately and had spent little time with her, neglecting her. He assumed she resented him because of his overthinking, but didn't think too deeply about it.

"I'm such a bastard, you don't want to just let me go like this, do you?"

"Then wake up quickly and punish me!" Gu Yiming said to Jiang Hua in a coaxing tone, a faint smile on his face. He remembered how Jiang Hua would always glare at him helplessly and then laugh when he provoked her like this in the past.

"Jiang Hua, I will always wait for you and always be with you." Gu Yiming whispered in Jiang Hua's ear, but Jiang Hua seemed not to hear him and kept her eyes closed peacefully.

Jiang Hua's long, curled eyelashes looked as if they were sprinkled with fine gold dust under the sunlight, radiating a shimmering glow. Her pink lips were a little dry from the ordeal of the past few days, and her face was gentle and peaceful, as if she were simply asleep.

How long are you going to sleep before you wake up? Are you trying to punish me this way? Gu Yiming lowered his head and pecked Jiang Hua's lips, his eyes filled with deep affection, mixed with a hint of helplessness and worry.

Gu Yiming glanced at Jiang Hua one last time, then turned and left quietly, unaware that Jiang Hua's fingers twitched slightly.

As soon as he left the ward, Gu Yiming's face darkened, and he picked up the phone to inquire about the progress of the investigation.

Jiang Hua is pregnant for the second time, so she should be very careful. Moreover, she shouldn't be having difficulty moving around in the early stages of pregnancy. How could she have fallen so unfortunately?

Gu Yiming leaned against the wall of the corridor, his gaze fierce as if he wanted to devour someone, a sarcastic smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

There was soapy water on the ground.

The hospital has very strict cleaning requirements, and there are people cleaning it on time. So why would the hospital spray soapy water there? It must have been done intentionally.

After a brief negotiation with the hospital, Gu Yiming retrieved the hospital's surveillance footage from that day. It clearly showed that someone, taking advantage of everyone's inattention, pretended to accidentally spill water from a cup on the ground and then hurriedly left the scene.

Shortly after, Jiang Hua appeared on the surveillance footage. Under someone's deliberate enticement, she walked across the puddles, slipped, and fell heavily to the ground, where a large amount of blood immediately flowed out.

When the nurses took her to the emergency room, Jiang Hua was clearly unconscious; her eyes were closed limply, and she was still calling out, "My child, save my child..."

Gu Yiming stood motionless, watching, his eyes already red, his fists clenched so tightly that the veins bulged. He had a vague idea of ​​who it was, and turned away without saying a word.

A phone call a moment later confirmed Gu Yiming's guess: the mastermind behind this was Xu Xiaoxiao.

The person deliberately poured soapy water on the ground to lure Jiang Hua over, probably with the intention of not only getting rid of the child but also witnessing the death of both mother and child. Fortunately, thanks to the doctor's best efforts, Jiang Hua was out of danger.

Gu Yiming felt a chill run down his spine at the thought. How could he possibly remain calm after his wife and child had been treated so cruelly?

Do you think I can't find out about you just because you didn't do it yourself?

I'll let you enjoy this sweet dream for a while longer, but soon it will turn into a nightmare. You will pay the price for everything you've done.

Gu Yiming was burning with rage, which almost consumed his reason. Recalling what Xu Xiaoxiao had done all along, he couldn't help but sneer and think with a sinister expression.

This vicious woman!

Looking at Jiang Hua, who was still unconscious on the hospital bed, Gu Yiming felt more and more heartache and hatred for the mastermind Xu Xiaoxiao. Anger gradually rose in his eyes and his fists clenched.
