Zhuang Nainai felt excruciating pain, as though her heart and lungs were being ripped apart. She had completely stopped thinking. The sound of the doorbell ringing and someone pounding on the door couldn’t dispel the sadness she felt.
Perhaps the two fetuses in the womb had managed to feel their mother’s sorrow. Both of them started kicking and punching. The feeling of being kicked made her come back to her senses.
What was she doing?
How could she be so sad? How could she let the sorrow spread through her entire body and herself be at the mercy of such a willful reason?
She was about to give birth to her children. She had to stay strong for her children at least, if not herself.
Just as she thought about this, she suddenly felt a strong shove from behind!
It was already difficult for her to keep her balance with such a huge belly. When such a strong shove came from behind, she could not resist the force at all.
Zhuang Nainai widened her eyes in shock as she plunged toward the stairs!
The Si residence’s floor space was very wide, and each floor was very high. There was a distance of three to four meters from the first to the second floor! If she were to roll down the stairs, her children would definitely feel the impact.
A terror that she had never experienced before suddenly flooded her entire body. It made her so afraid that she wanted to scream!
No!
Her children!
Her children!!
No!!
At that moment, Ding Mengya was close to the stairs and witnessed everything with her own eyes. Her eyes widened. She could quickly get out of the way to save herself, but she subconsciously decided to stay where she was to break Zhuang Nainai’s fall.
She used her own body to cushion and stop Zhuang Nainai’s rolling motion. Then she stood by the staircase, teetering in a precarious position.
Mi Nuo’s mighty push had exceeded human limits. But even after Zhuang Nainai’s rolling motion had been cushioned by Ding Mengya’s body, Zhuang Nainai still could not stop rolling.
Ding Mengya forcefully pushed Zhuang Nainai in the opposite direction of her fall. This helped Zhuang Nainai to regain her balance. Then, as Ding Mengya saw Zhuang Nainai widening her eyes and reaching out, intending to grab hold of Ding Mengya, the latter shouted, “Don’t!”
Child, don’t! You’re the most important person!
But before she could say that, she had already retracted her hand and was rolling down the stairs!
Zhuang Nainai’s eyes narrowed. She had reached out but had been pushed by Ding Mengya. She had retreated a step and was sitting on the floor.
She watched Ding Mengya fall gracefully as though she were a butterfly.
“Clomp… thump!”
The sound of something heavy falling on the floor rang out. Every time her body collided with the ground and made a sound, it was as though a sledgehammer was hammering away at her heart.
Without stopping even for a second, as though she had activated some potential energy within her body, Zhuang Nainai jumped to her feet and ran toward the bottom of the stairs. She saw Ding Mengya crawling somewhere near the stairs. It seemed as though she had hit her head. There were trickles of blood, and they were slowly flowing out of her head, slowly spreading around her body!
Zhuang Nainai covered her mouth in shock. She wanted to scream and shout, but the shock had caused her to lose her voice. She opened her mouth but she couldn’t make a sound!
No, no!
How could this be?!
Why had this happened?!
Madam Ding… Mother Ding! She had misunderstood Mother Ding, but at such an important juncture of life and death, she had sacrificed herself to save Zhuang Nainai without any hesitation!
The unexpected stir of feelings within her slowly became guilt, causing her to feel shocked and sad!
And when she was staring at the bottom of the stairs in shock, she heard a deep, husky voice laden with shock, anxiety, and fatigue call out shakily, “Mother!”
