Li Nan called Gao Siming at around 9 a.m. on the 12th.

Li Nan, already obsessed with the Blood Rose, failed to hear the chill in Gao Siming's words, nor did she sense the hatred in Gao Zimin's voice on the other end of the phone.

When Li Nan arrived at the hospital, he was greeted not by anything else, but by Gao Siming's rapidly growing fist.

Li Nan was knocked down by Gao Siming's punch before she could even react.

"Brother Gao, why?"

"Why? Mosquito has been in the hospital for a whole day, and only now do you think to come and see her?"

Li Nan stood up and tried to explain, "Brother Gao, listen to me, you're in danger!"

"Smack!"

That slap was delivered by Gao Zimin.

"Xiaowen is already in this state, and you're still worried about my brother?"

Mao Qinglan in the ward paid no attention to the farce at the door; at that moment, she held her daughter's hand tightly.

Not only her hands, but also her heart and mind were filled with thoughts of her daughter in the hospital bed.

The last time she felt this way was more than 30 years ago, on the night her man, Qin Jianguo, left and never returned.

As for the man in the daughter's womb, the father of the child?

Who is that?

Haha, Mao Qinglan doesn't care!

Gradually, Mao Qinglan's gaze narrowed, and all she could see was Qin Wen's image.

Yes, only Qin Wen remained; she couldn't see anything else.

Mao Qinglan's deep love for her daughter ultimately led to psychological blindness.

The three people outside the door did not notice Mao Qinglan's illness.

Fortunately, after being punched and slapped, Li Nan finally came to his senses.

The Gao siblings had vented some of their resentment and were more patient as they listened to Li Nan explain her emotional journey throughout the day.

"So, the story of Blood Rose isn't over yet, and my brother is still in danger?"

Li Nan nodded heavily, "It should be! This final tattoo that brings good luck, in the story, 'he' should actually be 'she,' it should be Blood Rose!"

Gao Siming remained expressionless, but inwardly he was overjoyed. Gou Dan said, "Li Shazi isn't a fool, he's a genius with a wild imagination! I didn't expect his analysis either!"

Gao Siming replied in his mind: "Yes, although we did not expect Qin Wen's suicide, Li Nan's idea perfectly helped us plug the remaining loopholes, and the rest is much simpler."

"You two little brothers are so naughty!"

"We're just trying to protect ourselves!"

This was the first time Li Nan had seen his wife in a full day since the incident.

Qin Wen's eyes were tightly closed, and her face was pale, making her look just like the legendary ice goddess.

Li Nan knelt down and held Qin Wen's other hand. "Qin Wen, you're tired. Get some sleep, and wake up when you've had enough! Our child is still waiting for you! Waiting for Mommy!"

Looking at the bandage wrapped around Qin Wen's wrist, Li Nan's tears fell again.

Who says men don't easily shed tears? It's just that they haven't reached the point of heartbreak yet.

Seeing Li Nan, that good-for-nothing, in her remaining gaze, Mao Qinglan felt very bad.

However, she didn't want to send him away, so she left for a while.

"You guys stay with Qin Wen, I'm going out for a walk!"

Using the last glimmer of light in her eyes, Mao Qinglan staggered out.

"Auntie, let me stay with you!"

Gao Zimin noticed that Mao Qinglan was not in good condition, but Mao Qinglan did not appreciate it and shook off Gao Zimin's arm that was supporting her.

"No need, I'm not that old yet! I'll just go out and clear my head!"

Afterwards, Gao Siming and her brother also temporarily left the ward, leaving the space to the unfortunate couple.

In the corridor, Gao Zimin questioned her brother, "Brother, you had an accident a while ago, why didn't you tell me!"

When Gao Zimin heard the news of Qin Wen's accident yesterday, she rushed to the hospital to be with Qin Wen.

At the hospital, he met Gao Siming's former attending physician and learned that his younger brother had injured his calf not long ago.

"Sister, I'm fine now. It's just a little scrape, it's nothing!"

"If it's just a small scratch, why are you using a cane?"

"Hehe, trying to look cool!"

"Sit still, let me see how you are!"

"Sis, it's really healed!"

The calf muscle was punctured, and it's only been a month, so naturally it hasn't fully healed.

It's just that I no longer need to change the dressing every day; I only need to apply some anti-inflammatory ointment on time.

As for the cane, I was originally going to give it to Li Nan, but I held back in the end.

Looking at the scabbed wound on her younger brother's leg, Gao Zimin's tears began to fall again. "Brother, tell me honestly, did you arrange Huo Houming's affair? Like what happened with Li Zhipeng?"

"Sister, this was just an accident. Who knew that Huo Houming would be so heartless and ruthless!"

Gao Zimin stared intently into Gao Siming's eyes, but didn't sense any change.

"Dog Egg, whatever you do in the future, be careful. You're my only family now!"

"Sister, I'll go back to Sakura City with you in a few days! I'll come back after things are settled here!"

Gao Zimin burst into laughter through her tears, "Okay, let's go home, I'll cook you something delicious!"

"It's getting cold, let's have hot pot!"

...

Good things never come in pairs, but misfortunes never come alone!

Mao Qinglan never returned; to be precise, she never stepped into that ward again.

Her body was found the following day at noon in a tributary of the Honghe River next to the hospital.

The cause of death was drowning. There is ample surveillance evidence that around 10 a.m. yesterday, Mao Qinglan was wandering alone by the river and then accidentally fell into a tributary of the Honghe River.
