Chapter 393 Something Happened
She dragged her heavy steps into the bathroom, and warm water poured over her head.
The mist blurred the mirror and her vision.
His foot slipped. Ji Wan screamed, lost his balance, and fell heavily backwards.
"ah--."
There was a thud and a dull crash.
Severe pain came from the coccyx and spread throughout the body in an instant.
But what frightened her even more was that a warm liquid was flowing out from under her body uncontrollably...
She trembled and lowered her head.
The glaring red color, spreading across the white tiles, is shocking.
“No…no…” Ji Wan’s pupils suddenly constricted, and a huge panic gripped her, “Child…my child.”
The nurse rushed in after hearing the noise and screamed in fear at the sight before her: "Mrs. Chi, blood, so much blood!"
The alarm was sounded and doctors and nurses rushed in.
When Chi Wenyan received the call and rushed back to the hospital as quickly as possible, Ji Wan had already been placed back on the bed. His face was paler than before and his lips were bloodless.
The doctor had just finished the examination and shook his head at Chi Wenyan with a serious expression.
"Mr. Chi, the situation is very bad."
"The fall just now caused the threatened miscarriage to worsen, and the bleeding was very heavy."
"The fetal heartbeat...is very weak."
Chi Wenyan's heart felt like a hole had been drilled through it, and cold wind rushed in.
He looked at Ji Wan.
She bit her lower lip tightly, and tears flowed out like beads from a broken string, wetting the pillow.
Despair, overwhelming despair.
"Wen Yan..." She suddenly stretched out her hand and tightly grasped Chi Wen Yan's sleeve, her nails almost digging into the fabric, "Please, please..."
Her voice was broken and filled with tearful pleas.
"Save our child, we must save him."
"He is our baby. I can't lose him. I can't..."
She cried heart-wrenchingly and her body trembled violently with excitement.
Seeing her collapse, Chi Wenyan's heart was broken.
He knew what the doctor's words meant.
He also knew that giving up now was the best option for Ji Wan's health.
But……
Looking at her eyes that were drowned in tears, full of begging and despair, how could he bear to make that cruel decision again?
"Wen Yan, please promise me, promise me that you will keep him, please." Ji Wan cried, her voice hoarse, "I don't want anything else, I just want him, just our child."
Chi Wenyan suddenly closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his eyes were bloodshot.
He leaned over, hugged her trembling body tightly, rested his chin on her forehead, and his voice was hard but with unquestionable promise.
"Okay, I promise you, Wanwan, don't be afraid. I promise you, we will definitely keep the baby, definitely."
In order to appease her, he would accept it even if it meant drinking poison to quench her thirst.
Let her calm down first, and he will find a way to deal with the rest. He will definitely find a way.
After hearing his promise, Ji Wan's tense body relaxed a little, but she still held him tightly, like a drowning man grabbing the only piece of driftwood, and burst into tears, pouring all her fear and sadness into his arms.
In the ward, the only sounds were her suppressed crying and the man's heavy and steady heartbeat.
Outside the window, at night, the night is as dark as ink, so thick that it cannot be dissolved.
Chi Wenyan held Ji Wan in his arms, feeling the slight tremors of her body, until her crying gradually subsided and turned into intermittent sobs.
The woman in his arms seemed to have exhausted all her strength. She collapsed in his arms, her eyelids drooping heavily, but she still refused to let go of her hand that was holding his sleeve.
That little bit of strength, weak but stubborn, was the promise he had just made, and it was her only support at the moment.
Chi Wenyan lowered his head and looked at her pale and haggard face, feeling extremely heartbroken.
He knew how impulsive his promise was, almost to the point of self-deception.
The doctor’s words are still ringing in my ears, that weak heartbeat, that surging bright red.
Saving the child? Easier said than done.
But he couldn't take it back, at least not now.
He stroked her hair gently, his movements unnaturally gentle.
"Go to sleep, Wanwan." His voice was very soft, with a soothing force. "Sleep well, and you'll be fine when you wake up."
Ji Wan seemed to understand, but also seemed not to understand. He just hummed with a heavy nasal tone, with tears still hanging in the corners of his eyes. His breathing gradually became steady, but he still frowned and slept very restlessly.
Chi Wenyan carefully laid her flat on the bed and tucked in the corners of the quilt for her.
He stood up and looked at her sleeping face. The scarlet in his eyes faded, replaced by a cold determination.
He turned around, walked out of the ward slowly, and closed the door gently.
In the corridor, the assistant was waiting anxiously.
"Mr. Chi..." Chi Wenyan raised his hand and interrupted him.
"Contact all available specialists. They're on call 24 hours a day." His voice had returned to its usual calm, yet it carried an undeniable chill. "I want the latest treatment options, no matter the cost. Now."
"Also, find out why she fell." His eyes suddenly became sharp. "Where is the nurse? What was she doing at that time?"
A low pressure area with a hint of impending storm quickly spread out with him as the center.
For Ji Wan, for the endangered child, he will do whatever it takes.
He couldn't afford to lose this gamble.
And will never lose.
"Mr. Chi, I found someone." The assistant said nervously, with beads of sweat oozing from his forehead.
Chi Wenyan frowned slightly, his eyes like knives, staring directly at the assistant. "Who?"
"A man named Chi Lin said he knew a rare and rare doctor." The assistant swallowed and continued, "But he asked for 1 billion yuan."
"One billion for curing Ji Wan and the child?" Chi Wenyan sneered, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes, "Does he think this is a movie?"
The assistant hesitated for a moment, then continued, "He's in a hurry to use the money and is willing to lower the price. He'll give 100 million first, and the rest will be decided after we see the results."
"One hundred million?" Chi Wenyan's voice was as cold as ice. "That's not a small amount."
“But, Mr. Chi, the assistant tried to persuade.
"I know her situation." Chi Wenyan interrupted him, looking at Ji Wan's situation..." His expression was as sharp as a knife. "I won't let anyone joke with her life."
He took a deep breath and thought to himself.
Chi Lin's appearance may be an opportunity, but it may also be a trap.
He didn't want to take any risks, but with Ji Wan and the child's lives at stake, there was no turning back.
"Contact him." Chi Wenyan's voice was low and firm. "Tell him that I am willing to see him, but I can't easily believe his promises."
"Yes, Mr. Chi." The assistant nodded and left quickly.
Chi Wenyan stood at the door of the ward, his eyes looking through the window at the night sky.
