Chapter 379 Caring for Children
My consciousness slowly returned, and what came into view was a pure white ceiling.
My body felt like it was falling apart, and every joint was screaming with pain.
She moved her fingers, and there were still red marks on her wrists from the rope.
The despair and fear in the cellar last night surged into my heart like a tide.
Chi Wenyan, he is here.
"That child..."
She struggled to speak, her voice dry and hoarse.
The nurse standing nearby stepped forward immediately.
"Miss Ji, you're awake. Don't worry, Mr. Fu has already made arrangements. The child with the heart disease is fine and safe."
Ji Wan's tense heartstrings relaxed slightly, but he was immediately gripped by another worry.
How is she? What about the kidnappers?
A doctor in a white coat walked in, his face gentle but with a hint of inquiry.
"Miss Ji, how are you feeling?"
Ji Wan shook his head, indicating that he was fine.
The doctor reviewed her examination report, his eyes lingering on her lower abdomen for a few seconds, his tone of voice containing a hint of cautious confirmation.
"Miss Ji, congratulations, you are pregnant and you are already six weeks pregnant."
boom.
Ji Wan's mind went blank in an instant.
Are you pregnant?
She subconsciously reached out and covered her flat belly.
Is there a little life there?
This realization shocked her heart, and she was then overwhelmed with confusion and helplessness.
At this time, after she had experienced such a terrible thing, and when her relationship with Chi Wenyan was so chaotic.
This child came at a very wrong time.
No, she can't have it.
Once this idea came into her mind, it occupied all her thoughts crazily.
She couldn't let this child be born in such a complex and uncertain environment.
She has to leave, she has to leave.
While Chi Wenyan hasn't come yet, while everything can still be salvaged.
She threw back the quilt, endured the discomfort in her body, and staggered out of bed.
As soon as my toes touched the cold ground, the door of the ward was pushed open from the outside.
Chi Wenyan's tall figure appeared at the door, holding a thermos bucket in his hand, obviously coming to bring her food.
Their eyes met.
Seeing her standing barefoot on the ground, looking as if she was about to escape, the warmth on Chi Wenyan's face instantly faded, leaving only an icy coldness.
The air seemed to freeze.
He walked in step by step and placed the thermos heavily on the cabinet next to him, making a dull sound.
The man's eyes were as sharp as a knife, staring at her tightly.
"run?"
His voice was not loud, but it carried a sense of oppression, as if a storm was about to come.
Ji Wan's heart suddenly sank, and he subconsciously took a step back, his back against the cold wall.
There is no way back.
Chi Wenyan approached, his tall figure looming over them with great aggressiveness.
"Ji Wan, where are you going again?"
His tone was a mixture of anger and some kind of indescribable disappointment.
Ji Wan bit her lower lip and turned her face away stubbornly, not daring to look into his eyes that seemed to see through everything.
"Tell me." Chi Wenyan reached out, pinched her chin, and forced her to look at him.
His fingertips were cold, but his strength was irresistible.
The man's voice was cold and hard, and he spoke each word with emphasis, as if it was squeezed out from between his teeth.
"You can leave, but give me a reason."
reason?
Ji Wan's eyelashes trembled, like fragile butterfly wings unable to bear the weight. The cold wall penetrated through the thin hospital gown, and the chill seeped into her bones.
Chi Wenyan's gaze was like substance, gripping her tightly and not allowing any escape.
Those deep eyes were filled with emotions she couldn't understand: anger, disappointment, and a hint of hurt?
Why should she give him a reason?
There was always a mess between them.
"Look at me."
Chi Wenyan's voice was low and contained an unquestionable command.
He applied a little pressure with his fingers, forcing her to lift her head.
Ji Wan was forced to meet his gaze. The storm inside her gathered, pressing her so hard that she could hardly breathe.
The heart was beating wildly in the chest, hitting the ribs and making a dull sound.
What can she say?
That she was scared?
Saying she doesn't want this unexpected child?
That she felt there were mountains and rivers between them, and a name that could never truly be erased?
These words were like sharp ice picks, stuck in my throat, unable to be spit out or swallowed.
Chi Wenyan's patience seemed to be running out little by little.
The air pressure around him was getting lower and lower, and the air seemed to become sticky.
"Ji Wan."
He called out to her again, this time with an obvious warning.
If he didn't speak up, he didn't know what he would do.
Ji Wan took a deep breath, and the breath smelled of hospital disinfectant, cold and pungent.
She closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, there was only a kind of determination to throw the jar into the air.
"Because of He Wanqing."
Her voice was not loud, even a little trembling, but it fell clearly into Chi Wenyan's ears.
The air completely solidified.
Chi Wenyan's fingers pinching her chin suddenly froze.
The anger in his eyes was instantly replaced by an expression of disbelief and astonishment.
"What did you say?"
The man's voice was full of absurdity.
Ji Wan struggled to break free from his grip, took a step back and created some distance.
Her eyes were unusually firm, staring straight at him with an almost masochistic clarity.
"I said, because of He Wanqing, you still have her in your heart, right? Chi Wenyan, what are we doing now? It's unclear, it's unclear, and now... I don't want to go on like this."
Every word seemed to be squeezed out from between teeth, with a bloody smell.
Chi Wenyan stood there in a daze, the color drained from his face. It was as if he was meeting the woman in front of him for the first time.
Those accusing eyes were like two sharp knives, piercing his heart. He thought she was scared, because of the kidnapping last night, or because she was not feeling well.
He thought of countless possibilities, but he never thought that this was the reason.
He Wanqing?
An indescribable feeling of grievance and anger surged in my heart.
He almost turned the whole city upside down for her.
He felt extremely heartbroken when he saw her injured.
He watched over her carefully, hoping she would wake up.
As a result, the first thing she did when she woke up was to run.
And the reason was the name that he had long since rejected from his heart.
Chi Wenyan growled, his chest heaving violently.
"Ji Wan, look into my eyes."
He took a step forward and grabbed her arm again, with such force that he almost crushed her bones.
"Can't you feel who I have in my heart? I have no feelings for He Wanqing anymore. I didn't have any before, I don't have any now, and I won't have any in the future."
His voice rose with excitement and carried a sense of anger at being wronged.
"Can't you see everything I do? Why do you always doubt me?"
Ji Wan's ears were buzzing and his arms were in severe pain from his yelling.
But she just bit her lip stubbornly, her eyes still full of uncertainty.
