Zhuang Sheng's head buzzed, as if struck hard by something. He'd been so worried about Liu Ruonan that he'd forgotten something. And at that moment, he seemed to finally wake up from his dazed state.
Liu Ruonan is still pregnant!
The nurse pushed the cart towards the ward, and Zhuang Sheng followed closely behind, holding Liu Ruonan's hand all the time. He looked at the nurse's back and asked, "Where's the child?"
"It's fine." The nurse said as she walked away, her tone sounding very cold. "I really don't know how you men can be so responsible. Your wife is pregnant and you can still be in such danger. Don't you know that this is the time when you need protection the most?"
Zhuang Sheng felt very ashamed when he heard what the nurse said.
He lowered his head, speechless. Yes! He had failed to protect his wife and children, and had not been there for them when they needed him most.
This was his dereliction of duty as a husband and as a father.
Regret and regret invaded his heart, making it feel as if his heart was tightly strangled by ropes and he felt like he was about to suffocate.
The nurse gave some instructions and then left.
Zhuang Sheng sat down in front of the bed, holding Liu Ruonan's hands tightly, kissing her hands with his lips, and tears couldn't help but flow out of his eyes.
Even though he was a soldier, even though he was a man, at this moment, he was still lying on the edge of the bed, sobbing silently.
He blamed himself for not being able to protect Liu Ruonan! He regretted not being able to show up in time!
The more he thought about it, the sadder he felt. He raised his head and slapped himself twice in the face. It didn't seem to satisfy him, so he punched himself in the chest a few more times.
… … …
When Liu Ruonan woke up, it was already ten o'clock in the evening.
She slowly opened her eyes, the pungent smell of medicine irritating her nostrils. The first person she saw was Zhuang Sheng.
For a moment, her mind was blank, and she only felt a slight pain in her abdomen.
She suddenly touched her abdomen, and then all the memories came flooding back, and all the memories flashed through her mind clearly.
"Where's the child? Brother Zhuang Sheng, where's the child?"
Liu Ruonan was a little excited. Zhuang Sheng held her hand tightly. It took him a long time to calm down, but now he was a little overwhelmed again, and his eyes turned red in an instant.
"The child is fine. Ruonan, don't worry, the child is fine."
After hearing Zhuang Sheng's words, Liu Ruonan stroked her bulging belly and gradually felt relieved.
She held Zhuang Sheng's hand and said with a look of grievance, "They almost took our child's life!"
"I will bring them to justice," said Zhuang Sheng.
"Where's my aunt? How's my aunt?" Liu Ruonan became nervous again. She remembered that Chen Jianmin was grabbed by the hair by that man and slammed against the wall.
Zhuang Sheng held Liu Ruonan's hand and kissed her on the lips. A forced smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but his eyes had already turned bloodshot and tears were welling up in his eyes, but he was still forcing a smile.
"Auntie is fine, don't worry."
"Where's my aunt? I need to go see her," Liu Ruonan said, and she was about to get up. The next moment, Zhuang Sheng pushed her down onto the bed. He said softly, "My aunt is in the ward on the second floor. The doctor said you can't get out of bed right now. You need to rest well. My aunt came to see you an hour ago, and I'm afraid she's already asleep."
"My aunt was hit hard, is it serious?" Liu Ruonan thought that in that situation, Chen Jianmin could stand in front of her so bravely, completely disregarding her own safety. Thinking of this, Liu Ruonan was extremely moved.
She had always known that Chen Jianmin was a kind woman. She was good to Zhuang Sheng and also to her, so she would use all her sincerity to be filial to her.
But she never knew that at such a critical moment, she could make such a decision.
It is said that a person's first reaction will reveal his or her sincerity.
Liu Ruonan felt very guilty. She originally just wanted to take her aunt out for a walk, but she didn't expect such a thing to happen.
"It's okay, don't worry! My aunt said she will come to see you tomorrow morning." Zhuang Sheng responded.
"Don't stay here to watch over me. Go to my aunt's place." Liu Ruonan pushed Zhuang Sheng and asked him to leave.
Zhuang Sheng held Liu Ruonan's hand tightly and said softly, "My uncle is taking care of you there."
"Is my uncle-in-law here?" Liu Ruonan asked.
"Coming." Zhuang Sheng responded.
"My uncle-in-law must hate me very much, right?" Liu Ruonan lowered her head guiltily, tears filling her eyelashes, looking pitiful.
"No! My uncle is proud of me!" Zhuang Sheng said, gently wiping away the tears from Liu Ruonan's eyes.
From Zhuang Sheng's tone, Liu Ruonan knew that he already knew what had happened. Perhaps Chen Jianmin had already explained everything to him, right?
In fact, the police had already arrived at 10 o'clock in the evening.
By then, Chen Jianmin had been awake for a while. A series of tests at the hospital revealed nothing else wrong with him, just a mild concussion.
After confirming that Chen Jianmin was able to cooperate with the investigation, the police conducted a detailed investigation into today's events.
The man was already under their control, but he was very stubborn and said nothing.
And now, what the police need most is strong evidence.
Chen Jianmin told the police everything that happened today clearly and without missing a word.
Zhuang Sheng was also there at the time, and after hearing all those things, he felt even more guilty.
What Chen Jianmin said was, of course, what happened before she fainted. As for how she and Liu Ruonan were rescued and sent to the hospital by Zhuang Sheng after she fainted, and how that person was caught, she had no idea.
Zhuang Sheng also didn't dare to imagine what happened to Liu Ruonan after Chen Jianmin fainted.
The heartache was so severe that Zhuang Sheng wished he could take out his heart and cut out the painful nerve.
Liu Ruonan nodded and said nothing more.
Zhuang Sheng said that her uncle-in-law not only didn't hate her, but was actually proud of her! This made Liu Ruonan feel even more guilty. Originally, she had brought them to the city to give them a good life. But she never imagined that her aunt would have to go through such a thing.
If they stayed in the countryside all their lives, although their life would be dull, at least it would be peaceful.
Zhuang Sheng tucked in the corner of Liu Ruonan's quilt and said softly, "Are you hungry?"
Liu Ruonan shook her head. After such a terrifying experience, how could she even think about eating? She was filled with hatred! How could such vicious people exist in this world? They were the ones who had done the evil first, and now that they were being punished, they were putting all the blame on others.
