Tick.

Tick.

The dark and cramped room was filled with the unpleasant smell of blood.

The windows were covered with tattered newspapers, but the cold rain and frost continued to pour in.

My knees were submerged in waist-deep sewage, making it difficult to move.

"Dad, Mom!"

"Sheng Huai..."

Su Yun groped forward while crying, her feet slipped, and disgusting and smelly sewage kept pouring into her mouth.

The top of my head was gradually submerged.

Suffocation and stuffiness came over me, and a buzzing sound just before death rang in my ears.

"Help!"

She cried out miserably!

My eyes suddenly opened and my brain felt dizzy.

In front of me was a pale ceiling.

The air was filled with the strong smell of disinfectant.

There was dead silence all around.

"Where is this?"

Su Yun turned her neck with difficulty, trying to see the surroundings, and felt a sharp pain in her neck.

hiss……

She frowned and snorted.

A white shadow swayed beside me, and a gentle voice floated in my ears, but it seemed very far away:

"Miss Su, are you awake?"

A handsome face slowly overlapped in front of my eyes.

Su Yun shook her head, trying to clear her mind, but she became even more drowsy.

"Doctor Lin."

"I...what's wrong with me?"

Lin An smelled of disinfectant, and with his pale fingers he lowered his head and wrote beautiful words on the medical record.

A hint of anger flashed across his usually gentle face.

"You've been unconscious for days."

"It's all because..."

He snorted coldly: "That woman, she is really crazy!"

Looking at the delicate and tired face on the bed, Lin An sighed again: "Fortunately, you are okay."

Su Yun was in a trance for a moment.

I remember.

He was held hostage by Jiang Zhi, Sheng Huai knelt down, and Lawyer An's hands were covered in blood...

All the memories are vague, with familiar yet unfamiliar faces overlapping each other.

She sat up in shock!

The intravenous needle was pulled and blood was returning.

"Miss Su!"

Lin An's expression changed, and his voice suddenly rose: "Calm down, you need to rest now."

"Yes...I need to calm down."

Su Yun lowered her eyelashes and asked softly after a moment, "How are Sheng Huai and Lawyer An?"

"Don't worry."

"Lawyer An's hand was injured, but it's not a big problem."

"It's Sheng Huai..."

When she heard Lin An’s pause, her heart tightened.

"What happened to Sheng Huai?"

"Sheng Huai's shoulder was stabbed quite badly, and the fractured part of his arm also needs to be re-treated. He needs to be hospitalized for a few days."

He held up the medical records in his hand.

"It's in the room next to yours."

Su Yun felt relieved a little. She was still in shock from the extremely horrific dream she had just had.

"Ms. Su."

Lin An stood under the white ceiling light and looked at her, a complicated look appearing on his handsome face.

He pondered for a long time and did not speak.

"Doctor Lin, if you have anything to say, just tell me."

Looking at Lin An's expression, Su Yun felt a strong sense of uneasiness in her heart. She suppressed her fear and asked, "What happened?"

The desolate eyes were suddenly startled!

Her voice trembled, her fingertips clenched the bed sheet: "Is it my mother...?"

Lin An quickly helped her steady herself against the head of the bed.

She said softly, "Aunt Su is still under observation in the ICU. There is nothing wrong."

Su Yun felt relieved.

"What is that?"

Lin An looked at her face with a complicated expression. After a long while, he replied in a deep voice, "Ms. Su..."

"You're pregnant."

"I'm pregnant..."

Su Yun mechanically repeated Lin An's words and turned to look out the window with a blank look in her eyes.

The sky in November is dazzlingly blue.

The cold wind of late autumn carries the fragrance of flowers and fills every long street.

Not far away, the fish pond under the rockery was glowing with golden phosphorescence.

A few banyan trees swayed gently in the wind.

The world was spinning.

Disgusting...

Su Yun couldn't hear a word Lin An said beside her.

A rustling buzzing sound began to be heard in my ears, and the world in front of me gradually turned into a series of black and white silent films.

The white fingertips tightly grasped the bed sheet, as if grasping the only wooden board after drowning.

for a long time.

It seemed like a whole new world had passed.

Su Yun bit the corner of her lip, blood oozing out slightly, and finally forced herself to calm down.

A little light barely gathered in her beautiful eyes.

Her voice was trembling terribly.

"How long?"

Lin An looked down at her, his dark eyes filled with heartache and pity.

"Two months."

Two months...

Su Yun murmured.

Two months ago, Sheng Huai hugged her and said that he wanted to start over, how much he actually loved her, and that he would draw a clear line between himself and Miss Jiang.

She blinked her misty eyes, as if talking to herself: "How is Miss Jiang?"

Lin An frowned.

"Jiang Zhi will receive the punishment she deserves!"

“Her father went crazy and on the way to the mental hospital, he jumped out of the car and snatched food from wild dogs… Fortunately, he was stopped.

Su Yun closed her eyelashes, and two lines of tears flowed across the corners of her eyes.

Lin An glanced at her and asked, "Are you sympathizing with Jiang Zhi?"

"no."

She shook her head: "I don't know, I just feel very sad..."

Su Yun suddenly sat up straight and looked at Lin An with a pleading tone in her voice.

"Doctor Lin, I want to ask you a favor."

Lin An looked at her steadily and said without hesitation: "You said... as long as I can do it."

"I think……"

She paused for a moment before speaking softly:

"Can you keep this pregnancy a secret for me? This includes my parents!"

There was a moment of silence in the ward.

Lin An's voice became colder: "You don't want this child?"

"no!"

Su Yun denied it firmly.

"I want him, of course I want him."

She lowered her eyelashes and rubbed her belly slowly, the sunlight cast a sacred halo around her.

"No matter what the future holds, this child belongs completely to me."

She raised her eyes and smiled beautifully, with a hint of anticipation in her eyes.

"I am his mother. I will give birth to him, raise him, and teach him to love others and himself."

Lin An looked at her with confusion in his eyes.

"Then why do you want to hide it?"

"Why?"

Su Yun's eyes, which had just been extremely gentle, suddenly flashed with a cold look.

She sneered.

"Because not everyone is worthy of being a father!"

"Doctor Lin, no matter what, please keep it a secret for me. I want to be quiet for a while... and think about it carefully."

Lin An did not ask any further questions.

The pale face in front of him made him feel sorry for it.

There was a knock on the ward door.

Su Mingan said outside the door with a hoarse voice: "Xiaoyun, are you awake?"

"Dad has been waiting outside for a long time. He's going crazy with worry!"

"My dear daughter...Now you and mom are both lying in the hospital bed. If something happens, how can daddy survive?"

The words are so sincere and touching that they bring tears to people's eyes.

Everyone passing by in the corridor couldn't help but have tears in their eyes.

Lin An turned around and was about to open the door.

"I'm going to tell Uncle Su the good news that you've woken up. He will definitely be very happy."

Su Yun hurriedly stopped him in a cold voice.

"Doctor Lin, wait!"

"I don't want to see him yet."

Lin An was puzzled: "Why?"

"because……"

Su Yun's expression was calm, and her tone was very calm: "I have a severe headache now. I want to rest. Tell him that I haven't woken up yet."

She curled the corners of her lips and smiled impeccably: "Nothing else, I just don't want him to worry."

Lin An agreed and strode out of the ward.

There was a murmur of conversation coming from the doorway.

Afterwards, the surroundings returned to dead silence.

Su Yun bit her lips tightly, forcing herself not to cry out loud.

The future... still has a long way to go

If I can't hold on now, how can I seek justice for myself and my mother, and how can I take back the Su family's property!

Those are all mother’s hard work!

You shouldn't give up just like that!

The sun shines on the floor and fills the room with warmth.

She wrapped herself tightly in the quilt, finally exhausted and in pain.

He fell into a deep sleep again.
