An hour later, Shao Jingque slowly woke up.
As soon as she opened her eyes, a man's face appeared in front of her, staring at her excitedly.
Shao Jingque was startled and subconsciously grabbed anything he could get his hands on and threw it at him on the head, but he was held back by the other party:
"Sister-in-law, it's me, Wang Tao!"
Shao Jingque felt the voice sounded familiar. The name went through her groggy mind, and the face of a young soldier appeared in her mind, gradually overlapping with the face of the man in front of her, which gradually became clearer.
It turned out to be Wang Tao who escorted her all the way from Ning City to the Provincial Military Hospital!
"Wang Tao! Why is it you?! Didn't you go back to Ning City?"
Shao Jingque's voice was filled with surprise. She had originally thought that she and Ding Ling would definitely fall into the hands of bad guys, but she didn't expect that when she woke up, she would see Wang Tao. That meant they were safe!
Wang Tao pulled the corners of his mouth and showed a wry smile. It was really a coincidence.
He had originally planned to send Shao Jingque to the military hospital. After visiting Captain Lu and other injured soldiers, he would go home to visit his parents and have a meal with relatives and friends. He would return to Ning City in two days at most.
Who knew that because he hadn't been home for three years, his parents were so excited to see him that they wanted to "announce to the world" that he was coming home. All of his aunts and uncles came to the house and the house was crowded with relatives who warmly welcomed him home.
At first, Wang Tao didn't realize the seriousness of the problem. He happily entertained relatives with his parents for a reunion dinner. But as the meal went on, things started to go wrong.
During the dinner, people kept introducing blind dates to him, and some said they would bring the people home to meet him that same day, as if they wanted to arrange his marriage that same day.
Wang Tao was frightened by his relatives' enthusiasm and quickly packed his luggage to return to Ning City the next day.
But his mother said she couldn't bear to let him go and insisted that he stay for a few more days. He refused, so his mother started crying and making a fuss. In the middle of the night, she said she felt stuffy and couldn't breathe, and insisted on going to the hospital.
Wang Tao felt very guilty for not having taken care of his mother for several years. He had no choice but to ask for a few days' leave from the army, preparing to take care of his mother and then report back to the army after she was discharged from the hospital.
His family lived near the police station. He was originally planning to go to the hospital to take over from his father. As soon as he walked out of the alley, he saw people pulling and tugging at the corner ahead.
He stepped forward to stop the fight out of his sense of military responsibility, but he didn't expect to meet an acquaintance.
"I was originally going to go back, but my mother was hospitalized these two days, so I asked for leave from the army. I will return to Ning City after she is discharged."
Shao Jingque heard that Wang Tao's mother was in the hospital and asked with concern:
"What's wrong, aunt?"
Wang Tao was embarrassed to say that his mother was trying to pressure him to get married, so he smiled awkwardly:
"It's not a big deal. The doctor said it's just my age. When my emotions fluctuate, I tend to feel dizzy and stuffy. I'll be fine after two days of intravenous drips."
"By the way, sister-in-law, why are you here in the city instead of staying in the hospital with Captain Lu? And what's going on with those two men chasing you?"
He also asked Ding Ling on the way to the hospital, but Ding Ling was so scared that she kept crying, saying intermittently that she met a bad guy, and did not explain clearly what happened.
When Shao Jingque heard him mention Lu Zhan, his eyes dimmed, and he tried to maintain a calm expression:
"I received a call from Ning City, so I had to go back to the art troupe to take care of some work. As soon as I got to the train station, I ran into Ding Ling."
"The man in the striped shirt pretended to be the owner of a textile factory and came to Shangdu to recruit workers. He wanted to take Ding Ling to Zhancheng. I was worried, so I asked a few questions about the factory. After listening to them, I felt something was wrong. I thought I would buy time and took Ding Ling to the police station to report the case."
"Who knew that the man would follow us all the way? Just as we were about to reach the police station, Ding Ling sprained her ankle again. She panicked and told me to leave her alone and run. The man heard me and chased us. I had originally planned to run into the police station to call the police, but I was caught by his accomplices when I was only a few dozen meters away."
"I thought I'd be in danger if I fell into the wrong hands. Luckily, I met you. Thank you so much, Wang Tao! When we get back to Ning City, I'll definitely treat you to dinner at Xiefang Garden!"
Wang Tao blushed at the compliment, smiled shyly, and then said with fear:
"Sister-in-law, it was too dangerous just now. If I had known you were going back to Ning City so soon, I would have gone with you. Even if we hadn't met any bad guys, it wouldn't be safe for you to be pregnant and traveling alone. I'd better go back to Ning City with you. I have to complete the security work that Section Chief Yao has assigned to me."
To be honest, it was all Section Chief Yao's fault for not explaining things clearly to him. If he had known that his sister-in-law was pregnant, he would have taken better care of her on the way here.
Fortunately, nothing happened on the way here, otherwise Captain Lu would come to settle the score with him.
Shao Jingque was stunned when he heard this. Who is pregnant?
She was about to open her mouth to deny it, but her mind suddenly recalled the time of her menstruation, and her pupils suddenly opened wide -
Before I had any news about Lu Zhan, I was worried about his safety every day. After seeing Lu Zhan, I focused all my attention on taking care of his recovery. During this period, I completely forgot about my period.
Now that I think about it, it seems like she...really...hasn't had her period for a long time...
Shao Jingque recalled the first and second time she and Lu Zhan...it seemed that neither of them thought of taking safety measures!
No way?
No way!
Won it in two tries?!
In her past life, she had won every lottery draw without missing a single one, and the most she'd ever won was five dollars, never a jackpot. And how could she win something as big as pregnancy just like that?!
Shao Jingque's face turned pale. The news that she might be pregnant was more of a shock to her.
She had finally made up her mind to leave Lu Zhan. If she was really pregnant with his child, what would she do next...
Wang Tao saw that Shao Jingque looked unhappy and thought she was worried about the safety of the baby in her belly, so he quickly comforted her:
"Don't be nervous, sister-in-law. The doctor just checked you out. The baby is fine, just having a slight spotting. He said he only needs to stay in the hospital for a day for observation."
Has the doctor checked it?
Doesn't that mean she's confirmed to be pregnant?
Wang Tao's words were like extinguishing the last spark of hope in Shao Jingque's heart. He suddenly felt a buzzing sound in his head, and it instantly became blank.
Until I heard Wang Tao's worried voice coming from my ears intermittently:
"...Sister-in-law, should we tell Captain Lu about this? Just in case..."
"don't want!"
Shao Jingque exclaimed as if he had just woken up from a dream.
Although she had not yet figured out how to deal with this matter, she must not let Lu Zhan know that she was pregnant.
