"Sigh, she's just lucky!" someone sighed. "She became a sister-in-law at such a young age. If you ask me, we should also find a rich older man!"
"Haha, can you find it? If you can, you won't be stuck here painstakingly revising your manuscript!"
"Hahaha……"
Song Wan pushed the coffee aside and quickly got up to leave.
As she stepped out of the coffee shop, she took a deep breath, feeling as if a heavy stone was lodged in her chest.
She wondered if she should have entered this industry.
If we were still in the city center, still in that kindergarten, life might be much more comfortable than it is now...
Song Wan shook her head vigorously, quickly dismissing this cowardly thought.
Coming to Yun City was a joint decision between her and Lin Zhaojiang. Besides, who can do things without any setbacks?
If she gives up at the first sign of setback, not only will she look down on herself, but even Lin Zhaojiang probably won't respect her.
Song Wan forced a smile, trying to give herself a genuine one.
But just then, a shout suddenly rang out—
"Quick, call an ambulance! There's a pregnant woman here!"
Song Wan was startled and looked in the direction of the sound. A crowd had gathered at the street corner not far away, and a pregnant woman was lying on the ground in pain, sweating profusely.
Song Wan gleaned the reason for the incident from the discussions among the onlookers.
"Sigh, such a young and beautiful girl, she could do so many things, why does she have to be someone's mistress..."
"Now that her belly is big, the man doesn't want to take responsibility."
"Yes, I heard she was talking to that guy just now, but they couldn't reach an agreement, and he left her and ran away, so she..."
Song Wan's heart clenched. She saw the blood seeping from beneath the girl, the glaring red seeming to pierce a corner of her deepest memory...
"Help, help me..." the girl cried out in anguish, "Help me!"
Song Wan felt as if she had been struck on the head, and her mind went blank for a moment.
"What a tragedy!" someone shook their head. "That's a little life in her belly too, and judging by the looks of it, she's only about four or five months pregnant..."
"How can a child be used as a bargaining chip!"
"It's because girls these days are too vain. They don't want to work hard themselves; they just want to find a rich man and get something for nothing..."
Song Wan suddenly had a splitting headache!
She rushed over as if out of control, separating the girl from the people around her. She protected the girl like a female warrior, shielding her from the harm of those rumors and gossip.
It wasn't until the ambulance arrived that she realized she was gripping the girl's hand too tightly, so stiff that she almost couldn't let go.
"Where are the family members?" the doctor shouted.
Song Wan followed the ambulance as if she had lost her soul.
Emergency care, hospitalization, paperwork... Song Wan handled everything personally.
She paid the surgery fees and hospitalization fees, and waited anxiously at the emergency room door like a family member, but she didn't understand why she was doing it. She only felt a headache, a pain that spread from her head to her chest, and her heart felt like it was being put into a meat grinder, the pain was unbearable.
The doctor came out of the operating room and, seeing the distraught Song Wan, asked, "Are you a family member?"
"I..." Song Wan finally came to her senses and looked at the doctor as if waking from a dream, "I'm not."
Where are the family members?
"I...I don't know." Song Wan's voice was very low. "I was just passing by. I saw her lying on the ground, so I took her to the hospital."
The doctor said thoughtfully, "These days, it's rare to see someone as enthusiastic as you."
How is she?
"There is no danger to her life, but she cannot have any more emotional fluctuations, otherwise the child will definitely not survive."
Song Wan nodded, leaned against the wall, and seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
After the doctor had settled the girl in, she quietly entered the ward. She saw the girl lying on the bed, pale and thin, with only her belly protruding.
Song Wan's heart tightened, and she slowly walked over.
The girl opened her eyes, her sorrowful gaze revealing gratitude towards her.
"I heard from the nurses... that a kind person brought me to the hospital and even paid my hospital fees. Was that you?"
Song Wan pursed her lips, her eyes stinging, and sat on the edge of the bed watching her.
"Thank you," the girl said solemnly, tears welling up in her eyes.
Song Wan hurriedly pulled out a tissue to wipe her.
"Don't be too sad," she comforted the girl. "You're still young, you can start over."
"No, that won't happen." The girl shook her head in despair. "He doesn't want the child, and he won't want me anymore..."
"you……"
“I am indeed dishonorable, this is my retribution.” The girl smiled bitterly. “I was with him for money, because my family needed money… I thought I could have a fair deal with him, that we could each get what we wanted, but I… I fell in love with him.”
Song Wan's mind went blank, her heart raced, and her temples throbbed with pain.
Some blurry images resurfaced in her mind, but when she tried to see them clearly, her head felt like it was about to split open.
"Miss Song, so you've been here!" At that moment, someone entered; it was one of Lin Zhaojiang's men.
Song Wan was taken aback. "Why are you here?"
"Mr. Lin has a friend at this hospital, and his friend saw you," the subordinate explained in a low voice. "Mr. Lin is rushing here as fast as he can and will be here soon."
Song Wan frowned, afraid of disturbing the girl's rest, so she left first.
"Miss Song, are you alright?" Her subordinate looked at her anxiously.
"I'm fine, it's that girl inside." Song Wan glanced inside worriedly. "Why don't you buy her some food and supplies and bring them over? She... she's all alone, it's quite pitiful."
His subordinates immediately went to do it, while Song Wan paced back and forth in the corridor.
A short while later, Lin Zhaojiang rushed over and immediately embraced her upon seeing her.
"I'm sorry," Song Wan said softly, "Did I scare you? I just found a pregnant woman on the roadside who needed emergency care, so I brought her to the hospital..."
Lin Zhaojiang looked at her quietly, his eyes filled with tenderness and affection.
He took her home, but she remained silent the whole way, as if her soul had been taken away, and her face looked terrible.
He hugged her tenderly, "Were you scared by that pregnant woman? Don't get involved in things like rescuing people on the roadside in the future... It's also my fault today, I didn't send more people to follow you."
"No." Song Wan closed her eyes wearily and leaned closer to him. "Zhao Jiang, I... I have a terrible headache and want to get some sleep. Can you stay with me?"
"good."
Lin Zhaojiang smiled, more than he could have asked for.
He lay down beside her, gently stroking her long hair and patting her back softly, lulling her to sleep like he was soothing a child.
However, Song Wan slept very restlessly.
Lin Zhaojiang quietly got out of bed, went to the balcony, and dialed his subordinate's number.
"Mr. Lin, we have been staying at the hospital as you instructed."
"Hmm," the man said in a deep voice, "Any discoveries?"
"That pregnant woman..." the subordinate lowered his voice, "has been transferred to a private hospital. Our people saw the Lin family's car at the entrance of that hospital."
