Chapter 61 Zhu Jin Has Gone Mad
The door slammed against the wall behind it with a dull thud, shattering the deathly silence of the ward.
Startled by the sudden noise, Shen Shuangmiao opened her eyes abruptly and looked in the direction of the sound.
Zhu Jin, radiating coldness and dressed in a black trench coat, stood at the doorway like a demon returned from hell, exuding a chilling aura.
His face was more unsightly than Shen Shuangmiao had ever seen before.
It wasn't anger or coldness, but a near-out-of-control shock and rage, and some indescribable panic.
Shen Shuangmiao's breathing became slightly sluggish, and when she opened her mouth, she couldn't make a sound.
Zhu Jin stared intently at her, his gaze so intense it seemed to pierce through her, his chest heaving with rapid breathing.
How did he find this place?
Did he find out?
Shen Shuangmiao was somewhat at a loss, her mind went blank, her body tensed up subconsciously, and her heart pounded wildly because of some ominous premonition, almost as if it would jump out of her throat.
She watched as Zhu Jin walked step by step toward the hospital bed, exuding a suffocating sense of oppression.
Zhu Jin's gaze swept over her face, over the blue and white striped hospital gown she was wearing, and over the patient information card with her name on it hanging above the bed.
Finally, his gaze settled on the bedside table.
There was a folded piece of paper lying there, revealing a sentence: "Post-abortion precautions".
The air seemed to freeze completely at that moment.
Shen Shuangmiao's pupils constricted sharply: "Zhu Jin, you..."
Zhu Jin's steps were heavy as he approached the sickbed.
He was completely unlike his usual self, lacking his usual cold composure, and was on the verge of extreme shock and loss of control.
Zhu Jin's gaze was fixed on her, as if he wanted to devour her alive, his voice trembling with extreme anger.
"Why... Shen Shuangmiao! Why did you abort our child!"
A flicker of panic crossed Shen Shuang's beautiful eyes.
Yet she felt ashamed of her panic and guilt.
On what grounds?
It was Zhu Jin's irresponsible act of insisting on having sex with her that night that led to the birth of this child and her subsequent abortion; it was all Zhu Jin's fault.
What gives him the right to come over and interrogate her in such an accusatory manner?
The wondrous essence of the frost rose from nowhere.
She said coldly, "Zhu Jin, you're overthinking it. This child isn't yours. Don't you think I'm having an affair with Fu Xuan? Oh, and you also said my investment relationship with Zhao Mobai isn't proper. So what makes you so sure the child is yours? Maybe it's them..."
"Shuangmiao!" Zhu Jin roared, his former cold demeanor completely shattered as he spoke to her during the dungeon raid.
He rushed to the bedside, staring intently at Shen Shuangmiao: "Are you still pretending to be stupid with me now?!"
Shen Shuangmiao slowly clenched her fists and remained silent.
"You've really opened my eyes." Zhu Jin pressed down on the bedside, his voice trembling. "Shen Shuangmiao, you actually aborted our child without saying a word, without my permission. You're so selfish!"
Shen Shuangmiao suddenly raised her eyes, a surge of anger welling up inside her.
She tried to sit up, her body weak, but she fell back down because she was too weak. She could only tilt her head back and stare at him with all her might.
Shen Shuangmiao had just finished surgery and her tone was weak and powerless, but at this moment it was full of sarcasm and indignation.
"Zhu Jin, how dare you ask me why? Don't you know how this child came about? It was conceived while you were humiliated! It was conceived right before you were about to get engaged to Zhou Wu!"
Shen Shuangmiao's tears flowed uncontrollably, mixed with endless hatred: "You hate me, you designed my studio, you drove me to the brink, and now you come to ask me why? Fine, I'll tell you why!"
Zhu Jin's breathing was rapid and heavy.
"Because I don't want my child to have a father like you, because it's all over between us, completely over! This child shouldn't even exist!"
Every word she uttered was a desperate and vicious stab at Zhu Jin; only by hurting each other in this way could she alleviate the pain in her heart.
Zhu Jin slowly clenched his fist, a terrifying storm surging in his eyes.
"Completely over?" He suddenly leaned down, bracing himself on either side of the hospital bed, trapping Shen Shuangmiao in his arms, his icy eyes staring intently at her.
Zhu Jin forced a cold laugh through his teeth, "Chen Shuangmiao, do you think you can just leave it at that after you've said it all? You think you can abort my child and run away? Not so easy."
Shen Shuangmiao was taken aback, and subconsciously murmured, "What do you mean?"
Zhu Jin sneered, his voice suddenly turning sinister, "I already know. You know you're going to sell the studio and disappear with the money? Shen Shuangmiao, don't even think about it!"
Shen Shuangmiao's heart sank suddenly. He even knew this?
Did Zhao Mobai leak the information? Or had he been monitoring her all along?
"What right do you have!" she exclaimed, trembling with anger.
"Why should I?" Zhu Jin's eyes became obsessive and crazed.
He stared at her and said, word by word, "For what you owe me! You owe me a child! You killed him without my consent! You think that's the end of it? No way!"
Shen Shuangmiao's lips trembled.
She wasn't the one who did anything wrong, nor was she the one who caused the end between them, yet Zhu Jin wanted to portray her as an executioner who killed a child.
She used all her strength to slap Zhu Jin.
Zhu Jin was knocked to the side by the blow, and Shen Shuangmiao also fell back onto the hospital bed, powerless.
They hurt each other and confronted each other.
Zhu Jin wiped away a trace of blood from the corner of his mouth. Instead of exploding, he slowly smiled.
"Chen Shuangmiao, you forced me to do this."
A strong sense of foreboding instantly enveloped Shen Shuangmiao.
She glared at Zhu Jin: "Zhu Jin, what else do you want to do?!"
Just then, the ward door was pushed open again.
Two tall men in caregiver uniforms strode in.
They walked straight to the hospital bed with expressionless faces.
"Who are you? What do you want?" Shen Shuangmiao shrank back nervously, trying to call for help, but because she was extremely weak after the surgery, she could not raise her voice at all.
Zhu Jin straightened up and looked at her coldly, his eyes cruel and resolute.
"Let's get you away from here. You need to rest and recover properly."
"No! I won't leave! Let me go! Zhu Jin, you bastard! This is illegal detention!"
Shen Shuangmiao struggled fiercely, using her last bit of strength to kick the caregiver who was trying to drag her off the hospital bed.
But she was too weak, and her feeble resistance was like a tickle to the two of them.
The two caregivers easily subdued her, transferred her to the stretcher they had brought, and secured her hands and feet with restraints.
"Let me go! Doctor, nurse! Fu Xuan!" Shen Shuangmiao cried out in despair and began to struggle violently.
The emotional turmoil exhausted her last bit of strength; she became increasingly weak and fainted.
In the last second before her consciousness completely faded, she saw Zhu Jin standing by the bed, coldly watching her being taken away, his eyes filled with pain and deep-seated hatred.
