Chapter 670 The child in Shen Qing's belly belongs to him, Lu Tingchuan
Lu Tingchuan stood beside Shen Qing, his eyes following the doctor's words, sometimes looking at the glass fragments on the disinfectant towel, and sometimes looking at the scar on Shen Qing's face.
The scar was more than seven centimeters long, and one stitch was taken for every millimeter on average. More than seventy stitches were needed under ineffective anesthesia.
No one is not afraid of pain, and wounds on the face are even more sensitive. Even Lu Tingchuan couldn't remain silent and motionless in such pain.
That's why Shen Qing was tied to the bed with restraints and couldn't move, because they were afraid that she would struggle in pain and cause the doctor to sew unstable stitches.
Lu Tingchuan stretched out his hand, wanting to touch her. His slender hand trembled uncontrollably. He stroked Shen Qing's intact left cheek, and his fingertips gently fell on her gauze. As soon as they touched the gauze, Lu Tingchuan's fingertips trembled and finally retracted.
The question asked by Shen Qing popped into his mind.
"Lu Tingchuan, do you dare to do a DNA test on that child to see if she is Jiang Yiming's child? I bet you will be heartbroken after knowing the truth."
Lu Tingchuan is extremely self-confident and conceited. He always feels that he will not fall in love with anyone. He trusts his abilities and means too much.
It was discovered that Shen Qing was five months pregnant. Judging from the number of months, the baby was definitely not his. During the months she was away, she was closest to Jiang Yiming. They ate and lived together, and he even proposed to her. If it wasn't Jiang Yiming's, whose could it be?
The more Lu Tingchuan thought about it, the colder he felt. Could it be that Shen Qing had never lied? She hadn't had sex with Jiang Yiming, and the child wasn't Jiang Yiming's, but his, Lu Tingchuan's.
Lu Tingchuan was unwilling to admit the mistake he had made... Until now, he would rather believe the checklist and the string of numbers typed out by the machine than believe the words from Shen Qing's mouth.
When it comes to making choices, humans often choose answers that are beneficial to themselves. However, what is beneficial to them also has corresponding consequences, and the consequences are often counterproductive.
Seeing Lu Tingchuan's pale face, the doctor wondered if his words were too harsh. But he was just speaking the truth.
“Mr. Lu, I’ve said everything I need to say. If you really feel sorry for Miss Shen, just be nice to her.”
People who are used to suffering don’t need a lot of sugar to fill the bitterness, a little sweetness is enough. The same goes for people who lack love. As long as the other person is nice to her and respects her a little, it will be enough.
Unfortunately, Lu Tingchuan didn't understand this.
Do you want to check the DNA of that child?
Lu Tingchuan was frightened for a moment, and he stopped moving, feeling torn. It was the first time he felt such fear. There seemed to be a voice in his heart shouting at him, stopping him from checking.
If it is true as Shen Qing said, that the child is not Jiang Yiming's but his, then he is the executioner who killed his own child with his own hands, and made the child into a specimen and placed it on the display stand for people to see. He even labeled the child as a "bastard".
How could he afford such a price? How could he make it up to Shen Qing?
Excruciating pain and full of regret are already good enough to describe it.
But if he doesn't check, he will be kept in the dark forever. What he hates most is being deceived. If he doesn't check, he will never know the truth.
This time, Shen Qing stayed in the intensive care unit for several days, with nutrient solution inserted into the back of his hand and a urinary catheter inserted under his body.
Lu Tingchuan had never seen Shen Qing fall asleep for such a long time. He was really afraid that Shen Qing would never wake up from this sleep.
Scars on the body can heal with the help of medication, but how do you treat the wounds in your heart?
The wound in the bones will hurt every time it rains and gets cold, and the wound in the heart is heart-wrenching just thinking about it.
Lu Tingchuan dropped his work and stayed by Shen Qing's bedside, holding her hand tightly.
"Shen Qing, you're only temporarily blind. When you wake up and remove the gauze, you'll be able to see. The cherry blossoms in the hospital are blooming. Don't you want to open your eyes and see?"
Lu Tingchuan said with red eyes: "When you wake up, I will take you to the prison to see Su Miao. We agreed to torture each other. If I don't die, you are not allowed to die. If you die, I will go crazy and many people will be buried with you."
Shen Qing has always been like a blade of grass, looking so inconspicuous, but with tenacious vitality. The grass living in the wild has experienced wind and sun, and can survive no matter how it is trampled on, even if it is stepped into the mud.
Shen Qing tries so hard to live that people forget that she is a human being, not a grass. Even if she is a grass, she will die if she doesn't want to live.
What's more, natural disasters and man-made disasters occur every day. Birth, old age, sickness and death, joys and sorrows, separations and reunions have become the norm in this world.
This hospital is a place to save people, but it cannot save those who are determined to die. If Shen Qing doesn't want to wake up, Lu Tingchuan will be helpless even if he uses up all his strength. No one can snatch a person away from God.
Lu Tingchuan talked to Shen Qing in the nursing room all night and his voice became hoarse. He looked at the scar on Shen Qing's face that had been marked with a black line, and his eyes actually turned red.
"I'll go to the hospital for a DNA test tomorrow."
Shen Qing has never had a strong opinion and is a simple person. She is always foolish to be deceived by him, but this time Shen Qing refused to believe him at all and did not even move her eyelashes.
The next day, Lu Tingchuan began to prepare to test the child's DNA, which not only matched Jiang Yiming's but also his own.
After waiting for three days for the test results, Lu Tingchuan was stunned when he held the test report. The test results did not match anyone. The child was not Jiang Yiming's, nor was it his.
It is impossible for Shen Qing to have contact with other men. She doesn't have the courage to do so. Even a fool would have discovered that this hospital had been tampered with.
Who else but Mr. Li could have reached out to all the hospitals in J City? The funny thing is that he was so stupid that he only realized it now.
Lu Tingchuan secretly asked his trusted assistant to go abroad to investigate again, and then went to the hospital where Shen Qing had her pregnancy check-up and investigated carefully one by one.
After waiting for more than half a month, Assistant Tang came back with the final results.
It was late at night and only medical staff were left in the hospital corridor. Lu Tingchuan walked to the hospital stairwell with a file bag. The lights in the stairwell were sensor lights, and once there was no sound, the stairwell would be plunged into darkness.
Lu Tingchuan took out a cigarette, lit it, took two puffs, and then opened the document bag with trembling fingertips, revealing a corner of the information inside. He took out the two documents inside and compared them.
Just one glance and Lu Tingchuan's tears fell.
The child in Shen Qing's belly was his. She was not pregnant for five months, but for a full six months.
She didn't lie, she really didn't have sex with Jiang Yiming, she was innocent.
It was his arrogance and distrust that destroyed her.
The documents in his hand fell to the ground and were blown all over the stairwell by the wind. Lu Tingchuan didn't know how long he had been sitting there until his whole body was cold and his hands and feet were numb. He came to his senses, stood up, went downstairs and picked up the papers on the ground one by one.
His mind is now full of Shen Qing. He doesn't know what to do next. If things really go as planned, he won't even have the chance to stop it because he is the instigator.
He only knew that he couldn't let go, even if Shen Qing never forgave him in the future, even if the two of them tortured each other, he would not let her go. If he lost Shen Qing, he would never meet someone like Shen Qing again.
The cigarette between his fingertips had burned to the end, burning him. He extinguished it with his hand. The smoke from the cigarette made his eyes uncomfortable. He squinted his eyes slightly, held the document tightly against his chest with his left hand, and looked ahead blankly. He raised his foot and walked slowly up. He didn't know if it was because he had been sitting for too long, but his legs were numb. He stumbled and knelt on the ground, his knees just touching the steps.
He is a loser, Lu Tingchuan laughed at himself. He thought he could bear any consequences, but it turned out that he dared to do it but not to take responsibility for it.
He always said that Shen Qing was a coward, but in fact he was the coward.
Lu Tingchuan's greatest obsession in this life is power and wealth. He wants to get everything from the Li family and use his mother's surname to name the entire Li family. He wants everyone to know that the person who will take over the Li family in the end will not be someone with the surname Li, but him, the illegitimate son with the surname Lu, an illegitimate son who has been looked down upon since childhood.
He has been acting with this goal in mind, gradually rising above the upper class and being high and mighty. Most things are within his reach, and he does not desire anything that does not belong to him. However, Shen Qing is an exception.
At this time a year ago, he was still mocking Li Jingshen, but he didn't expect that the situation would change and he would be the one to suffer the consequences.
