"Second brother, please don't call Mom and Dad, I beg you."
She turned her head to look out the window, her eyes fixed on the distance, letting tears stream down her cheeks.
She had already decided to cut ties with Ji Yan, so there was no need to tell her family about what happened between them.
She will find a quiet, remote place to give birth to her child, and with the child's company, she won't feel too lonely.
Ji Ze returned to her side, put his phone back in his pocket, and gently comforted the tearful woman.
"Yingying, it's all my fault. If I hadn't been studying medicine so diligently, if I had been able to protect you properly, you wouldn't have suffered such harm."
Tell your second brother, did that man hit you? Otherwise, why would you be covered in blood and rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment? You got pregnant because that man forced you, right?
Don't be afraid. From now on, your second brother will protect you well and will never let anyone who hurt you get close to you again. Trust your second brother.
Ji Ze held Ji Fuying's hand tightly, and as he spoke, his sobs gradually turned into soft weeping.
Even if he has to give up his career, he will protect his only sister. No one can understand how deep his pain and regret are right now.
"Second brother, I know I can't hide it from you, so I want you to help me keep the child a secret. Only you in the Ji family should know about this child's existence, okay?"
Looking at her pleading face, how could he possibly say no?
"Okay, Second Brother promises you, only I in the Ji family will know about this child's existence. I won't tell anyone unless you agree."
"Thank you, Second Brother."
"Then can you tell Second Brother who that man is...?"
She abruptly turned her head to the other side, her vision blurring in an instant, her eyes filled with endless regret. "Yes..."
She hesitated for a long time but still couldn't say it. Look at her, she's ruined herself like this for a relationship she can't express. Is it worth it?
Ji Ze had watched her grow up since she was a child, and he could tell from her expression that she still didn't dare to say it, but it was such a serious matter that she had to speak up.
He could only try his best to comfort her and persuade her, "Yingying, there's nothing you can't tell your second brother. We can't let this injustice go unpunished."
She lowered her head and bit her lower lip. Soon, blood began to seep from her lips, and her body trembled slightly, but she still couldn't say Ji Yan's name.
Just when Ji Ze thought she wouldn't talk and was about to give up asking, she finally mustered up her courage and pointed her trembling hand toward the operating room door.
"Is that Han Xiao?" When he came in, there was only his older brother and Han Xiao outside. But would Han Xiao have the guts to do this?
When Ji Fuying heard Han Xiao's name, she knew that her second brother had misunderstood. She could only shake her head and try her best to clear Han Xiao of suspicion.
"If it's not Han Xiao, then it must be... my older brother outside." His face suddenly turned extremely ugly. No, it couldn't be what he thought.
Ji Fuying's nod completely shattered his hopes, and his face instantly turned deathly pale.
He had imagined countless people, but he never thought it would be his own older brother. How could he do such a thing to his sister?
"Ji Yan." He could no longer contain his anger and stormed out the door, cursing, "You beast!"
He grabbed Ji Yan by the tie, dragged him up from the ground, and punched him in the face repeatedly. Even though blood was flowing from the corner of Ji Yan's mouth, he still didn't stop.
Ji Yan was still immersed in despair and pain. No matter how Ji Ze hit him, he did not fight back. He just kept muttering, "I was wrong, I was wrong."
Ji Yan's guilty conscience only fueled his anger. If it weren't for the timely arrival of Old Master Ji and others, he would have beaten Ji Yan to death.
"Ze'er, what are you doing?" Ji Ming hurriedly stepped forward to stop him. "Do you want to kill your older brother?"
"He doesn't deserve to be my older brother, he's just a hypocritical beast." Ji Ze was so angry that he was trembling all over.
Ji Ming was angered by Ji Ze's words. His Ji family would never allow brothers and sisters to scheme and kill each other. Even if Ji Yan made a mistake, it was not up to him, as the younger brother, to teach him a lesson.
"I heard from Dr. Lin that a girl suffered a miscarriage due to an injury. Could it be the bastard thing you two brothers did?"
The old man and woman remained silent. Having witnessed countless power struggles, they could tell at a glance that this matter was anything but ordinary. They decided to wait and see what the child had to say.
"Dad, Mom, the person who miscarried inside wasn't just anyone, it was... Yingying." Ji Ze managed to utter these words, his resentment still burning.
"What did you say?" Anhe staggered two steps, almost fainting. "Yingying, my daughter."
She forced herself to run quickly into the operating room, and the old lady followed her in, her eyes filled with shock.
On the hospital bed, Ji Fuying's white dress was still stained with blood, her pale face was completely bloodless, and her weeping appearance was even more heartbreaking.
“My darling daughter, Mom was wrong. I shouldn’t have let you go to work at the company. If you had stayed at home, this wouldn’t have happened.”
Anhe pressed her head against Ji Fuying, crying so hard she could barely breathe. God, why did you have to hurt her daughter like this?
The old lady kept wiping away her tears, a rare hint of ruthlessness appearing in her eyes. She had already guessed who the culprit was who had hurt Yingying—that damned thing.
Leaving the mother and daughter, who were embracing and weeping, to their own devices, the old lady walked up to Ji Yan with a stern face.
She slapped his already swollen face twice hard and asked sternly, "Did you do this to Yingying?"
This beast! Last time he went back to the old house to express his feelings, the elders were very supportive. I never expected that he would do something to hurt Yingying just a few days later.
Ji Yan kept his head down and refused to say a word. He just stood there blankly, like a clay or wooden dummy.
His silence left Ji Ming and the old man stunned, as if they had been doused with a bucket of cold water, their hearts sinking.
With red eyes, Ji Ming grabbed the silent man and pointed to the operating room with heart-wrenching pain, "Tell me, did you cause Yingying to become like this?"
Then two more hard slaps landed on Ji Yan's face. "You bastard, is this how your father taught you to be a person?"
He hurt Ji Ming's daughter to the point of miscarriage. If it weren't for his own son, he definitely wouldn't have survived tonight.
Seeing that someone was teaching Ji Yan a lesson on his behalf, Ji Ze returned to the operating room. The smell of blood was strong there, and he needed to move Yingying to an outside ward as soon as possible.
"Ze'er, tell Mom the truth, what kind of injury did your sister suffer, and why is she bleeding so much?"
Ji Ze was afraid that his sister would be embarrassed, so he could only give An He her medical records and test results and let her see them herself.
