The blood on the ground stained Xue Qing's vision, and she remained tense in front of the operating room for a long time.
She shakily took out her phone and dialed Gu Yiming's number. Two lines of tears had already streamed down her face, and her voice was trembling so much that she could barely speak.
"Hello, who is this?" Gu Yiming's voice came through the phone, and his deep voice made her feel a little safe.
"Xiaoya, Xiaoya, she..." Xue Qing's emotions directly affected her ability to speak. Her voice trembled, her hands shook uncontrollably, and her whole body grew colder and colder as the operating room lights came on.
"What happened? Calm down and tell me slowly." Gu Yiming sensed a hint of fear in her tone.
"Come to the hospital quickly, Xiaoya just slipped and fell." After saying that, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. There was no response from the other end of the line, only the sound of hurried footsteps and a car starting up.
Xue Qing, disregarding any need for rest, turned and ran back to the scene of the incident. She wanted to catch Xu Xiaoxiao and hand her over to Gu Yiming, preventing the culprit from escaping. However, when she returned, Xu Xiaoxiao was nowhere to be found. After searching for a long time without success, Xue Qing had no choice but to return to the operating room and wait for Gu Yiming's arrival.
Anxious, Gu Yiming drove to the hospital at top speed without even hanging up the phone. He ran countless red lights along the way, and the speedometer quickly reached its maximum speed, but he still felt it wasn't fast enough. He floored the accelerator, and time seemed to slow down for him.
A short while later, the car screeched to a halt inside the hospital, and the driver rushed inside without even stopping.
He was panting heavily, his hair disheveled by the wind as he ran.
"Where's Xiaoya?" he asked frantically, looking at Xue Qing, who was silently writing in front of the operating room, tears streaming down her face.
"He's inside, hasn't come out yet, and I don't know how he is." Xue Qing wiped away her tears as she looked towards the operating room. The light above the door seemed to have been on for a long time, but there was still no news of him.
"What exactly happened?" He glanced at the operating room door, the tightly closed door leaving him unable to understand what was going on inside, and he was extremely anxious.
"It was Xu Xiaoxiao. I don't know what she said to Xiaoya, but Xiaoya was so upset that she ran away and slipped on the road, which is why she is like this now." Xue Qing's eyes were filled with hatred when she mentioned Xu Xiaoxiao.
After hearing Xue Qing's words, he slammed his fist against the wall, gritting his teeth and muttering to himself, "Xu Xiaoxiao, it's Xu Xiaoxiao again, damn it."
All the way, Jin Yu chased after Gu Yiming's car at top speed, but she couldn't catch up with him no matter how hard he drove. Just as Gu Yiming's fist was about to strike her, Jin Yu finally arrived at the operating room, panting heavily.
Seeing Gu Yiming's angry expression, he sensed the seriousness of the situation, so he quietly stood behind Gu Yiming, not daring to breathe loudly.
Gu Yiming saw Jin Yu arrive, and before he could even catch his breath, a barrage of scolding came crashing down on him.
"I told you to send someone to keep an eye on Xu Xiaoxiao, what kind of work did you do? What use are you to me?" Gu Yiming pointed at Jin Yu and reprimanded him.
Although Gu Yiming was blaming his assistant, he hated himself the most. He blamed himself for not protecting Xiaoya and for not handling Xu Xiaoxiao properly, which led to today's mistake. Behind his harsh scolding was deep self-reproach.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Gu, it was my oversight." Jin Yu knew how anxious he was, so she took all the blame and bowed deeply to Gu Yiming to express her apology.
After a few seconds of silence, he regained his composure and knew that now was not the time to lose his temper. He straightened up, took a deep breath, and exhaled all the violent energy he had just felt.
"Now, send someone to find Xu Xiaoxiao for me. No matter where she is, even if you have to dig three feet into the ground, find her for me. I will tear her apart and rip her to pieces." As he finished speaking, he could no longer suppress his anger. His deep voice became hoarse, his teeth clenched together, and his fists were tightly clenched, with veins bulging as if they were about to burst out of his body.
The surgery was still in progress when a nurse came out of the operating room. Gu Yiming quickly went up to her to ask about the situation.
"Nurse, how is the person inside? Will they be alright?" His tense tone made it difficult to answer. This tall man seemed to be carrying a mountain of cement, his breath caught in the weight, his body no longer straight. His trembling hands gripped the nurse's arm tightly, his face deathly pale, and his slightly hoarse voice was heartbreaking to hear.
"Family member, please calm down. An abortion is being performed inside, and the patient is bleeding heavily. She needs a large blood transfusion. I need to go to the blood bank to get plasma. Please make way for me."
"Massive bleeding? How could this happen?" Xue Qing asked the nurse in disbelief.
"The patient's will to live is weak, and our doctors are doing their best to save him. Please cooperate." After saying this, the nurse hurriedly walked away.
"Miscarriage... miscarriage surgery, so our baby can't be saved?" He seemed to have heard a devastating piece of news, so shocked that he took a step back, his eyes bloodshot, like a bloodthirsty monster.
Fine strands of hair fell across his forehead, obscuring his thick eyebrows. His blood-red eyes narrowed and opened slightly, his brows furrowed tightly, and his jaw muscles clenched in a daze. Jin Yu, standing to the side, had never seen Gu Yiming like this before; he seemed as terrifying as a wild beast ready to tear someone to pieces at any moment.
"President Gu, President Gu," Jin Yu called out to him tentatively.
"Go, go now, find Xu Xiaoxiao for me, immediately, right now." He propped himself up with his hands, his head drooping deeply, his heart aching so much that he could hardly stand up. This child, full of expectations, had died because of his negligence. He was supposed to watch him be born and grow up, but in the blink of an eye, he was gone. He just couldn't accept this fact.
While he was still immersed in grief and despair, unable to pull himself out, the operating room lights suddenly went out, and the doctor came out first. The whole process lasted five hours. Jiang Hua was then wheeled out. Gu Yiming went up to look at the person on the bed. Her pale face was covered with tear stains, and she still had an IV drip in her hand. The sheets were also stained red with blood.
Gu Yiming glanced back at the doctor, who wearily removed his mask and said, "The patient's condition is not ideal. The baby could not be saved. I'm very sorry."
Hearing this news was like a bolt from the blue; the two of them were stunned into place.
