Shen Lin hung up the phone, turned around, grabbed the clothes from the sofa, and walked outside.
Chi Zhao was puzzled; how could this happen after just one phone call?
"What's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry all of a sudden?" Shen Lin didn't speak, but his steps quickened.
Chi Zhao knew without guessing that the matter was probably related to Ye Xinning. Only something involving Ye Xinning could make Shen Lin so nervous and worried.
...
On the way to the hospital, Chi Zhao drove, and Shen Lin sat in the passenger seat.
During this time, Shen Lin was on the phone the whole time.
As for who the call was to, that goes without saying.
"What happened? Why are you rushing to the hospital so suddenly? What's wrong with Ye Xinning?"
"She's going to abort the child."
Shen Lin rubbed Mei Xin's hands, his brows furrowed and his jawline taut.
Chi Zhao almost dropped his jaw in surprise. "What? She's going to abort the child? No way, really? Why would she suddenly want to..."
Before Chi Zhao could finish speaking, the actions of Shen Lin flashed through his mind, and connecting the dots, he suddenly understood.
Shen Lin used Song Zhengchu's matter to blackmail Ye Xinning, originally thinking that Ye Xinning would compromise, but unexpectedly, Ye Xinning was more ruthless than anyone else had imagined.
Chi Zhao cautiously observed Shen Lin, probably something Shen Lin himself hadn't anticipated.
This time, Shen Lin has probably messed things up again.
...
When Shen Lin and Chi Zhao arrived at the hospital entrance, the car had just stopped when Shen Lin opened the door and quickly walked inside.
Outside the crowded room, when Shen Lin arrived, he only saw Shen Nanxing sitting in a chair, head down, hands tightly clasped together.
Shen Lin quickly walked over and looked at Shen Nanxing, "Where is she?"
Shen Nanxing raised her head and looked at Shen Lin, her gaze filled with sadness and complexity.
"Is he inside?" Shen Lin asked again, and then walked towards the operating room.
Shen Nanxing spoke at this moment, his tone low and cold, "My sister-in-law has already been taken away."
Chen Lin stopped in his tracks, turned around to look at Chen Nanxing, and after a long while, he spoke, his voice low and hoarse, "What did you say? What do you mean, 'You've already been taken away'?"
"The surgery was already done, but it was too late when I arrived."
Shen Lin froze, his massive body motionless as if struck by something.
“My sister-in-law’s attitude was very firm. I heard from my colleagues that if they didn’t do it, she could go to other places to do it. So my colleagues had no choice but to do it for her according to the regulations.”
Shen Lin stood there, feeling his blood rushing backward.
"Who exactly performed the surgery?" he asked through gritted teeth.
Shen Nanxing wanted to say something, but before she could speak, Shen Lin's phone rang.
When Shen Lin took out his phone and saw that the caller ID showed Ye Xinning, he answered the call almost without hesitation.
As soon as the call connected, Shen Lin asked, "Where are you right now?"
There was no sound on the phone. Shen Lin tried his best to control his emotions and not let his voice sound overly excited.
“Tell me where you are right now. We need to meet to talk about these things.”
This time, Ye Xinning finally spoke on the other end of the phone. Her voice was so calm and indifferent.
"Shen Lin, the child is gone."
Such a short sentence felt like a sharp blade piercing Shen Lin's heart.
If Shen Nanxing's previous words had made him worried and afraid, then Ye Xinning's words at this moment were like a death sentence for him, and he could no longer harbor any illusions.
Shen Lin tightened his grip on the phone, his voice suppressed, "Do you hate me that much?"
They hated each other so much that they actually took away their child; they hated each other so much that they couldn't tolerate it; yet there was still some connection between them.
Ye Xinning's soft laughter came from the other end of the phone, "Chen Lin, do you know why we ended up like this?"
Shen Lin pursed his lips and remained silent.
Ye Xinning didn't care. She continued, "Shen Lin, you're too selfish, too stubborn. From the beginning until now, you've always handled our problems in the way you think is right, whether it was in France or now that we're back. Your grandmother falling down the stairs was an accident, my father is innocent. I hoped you would stand up and explain for my father, but you didn't say a word. Yes, there are so many accidents. Jiang An giving birth to your child is an accident in your eyes, your grandmother's stroke is an accident in mine. If everything in this world can be whitewashed with the word 'accident,' wouldn't that seem incredibly unreasonable?"
"You aborted the child because you didn't stand up for your father?"
"Yes." This time, Ye Xinning didn't try to hide anything and said it directly.
"You're so selfish. Just because of your so-called love, just because you don't want a divorce, you actually tried to blackmail me with my father's safety. But Chen Lin, when have you ever seen Ye Xinning easily compromise? Since you can be so heartless, why should we have any further contact? Perhaps this child shouldn't have come in the first place. My previous indecisiveness gave you the wrong impression, making you think there was still a possibility for us. Since that's the case, then I'll end it myself. From now on, I have nothing to do with you. I will save my father. When everything returns to calm, I will file for divorce. At that time, whether you sign or not will not be up to you."
Ye Xinning called Shen Lin and said only this much before hanging up.
Shen Lin's face darkened as he listened to the busy tone on the phone.
When I dialed the number again, no one answered at first, and then the phone was switched off.
In a fit of rage, Shen Lin smashed his phone on the ground, where it shattered into pieces.
Chi Zhao and Shen Nanxing stood to one side. Shen Nanxing didn't dare to breathe loudly, knowing that Shen Lin was in a terrible mood at the moment, and didn't dare to go forward and say anything.
Chi Zhao looked at Shen Lin and shook his head.
"The matter is settled, there's no point in you getting angry now."
The only one to blame is Shen Lin for underestimating Ye Xinning's determination. Chi Zhao also didn't expect that Ye Xinning would actually be able to do something like aborting the child.
"Investigate. I need to know where she is within an hour," Shen Lin said, his voice cold and deep.
Chi Zhao didn't understand. What use was it to find out where Ye Xinning was at this point?
But since Shen Lin said so, Chi Zhao, as a friend, naturally had to help.
Chi Zhao made the phone call, and about half an hour later, he received a message from Ye Xinning.
"Found it."
Where are they?
"Airport."
Shen Lin's gloomy gaze fell on Chi Zhao. Chi Zhao spread his hands and said innocently, "The destination is Ye City. I'll be boarding in about ten minutes."
