Furthermore, her father was entangled in this private case. He was definitely unable to come out of it totally unscathed. If he snatched him forcefully, it was to declare war directly with the government. This was a very silly move.
Leng Hao took his hand back.
Zhou Yao gave his subordinates an indication with his gaze. His subordinates raised the stretcher up and lifted Leng Mu out of the main lobby and into the ambulance, and the vehicle left.
After the vehicle left, Leng Hao stretched his hand out to hold Leng Zhiyuan’s small hand, and he said, “Why is your hand so cold? Your face is also so pale. Go back home together with Older Brother!”
Leng Hao held her hand as he walked away.
But he was unable to leave because Zhou Yao held Leng Zhiyuan’s other hand and said, “Older Brother, Zhiyuan cannot go back together with you. She has to go back together with me.”
“Nonsense! Do you think that I am still able to hand my younger sister to you right now?” Leng Hao used force to tug Leng Zhiyuan’s hand.
Leng Zhiyuan’s long eyelashes froze, and her face got even paler. She raised her eyebrows and grunted out in pain.
Zhou Yao observed her face the entire time. After she grunted out in pain, he immediately spoke. “Older Brother, let go. You’re hurting Zhiyuan.”
“Why are you not letting go then?”
“Okay, I will shout one, two, three. We will let go together.”
“Sure.”
“One, two, three…”
Both men let go at the same time.
But this was only for one second. After another second, both of them stretched a hand out to grab Leng Zhiyuan. Zhou Yao was a step quicker. He cupped Leng Zhiyuan’s slim waist and took a few steps backwards.
Leng Hao was about to snatch her away, but at this moment, all of the Flaming Forces soldiers stepped forward at the same time. Ah Chen shouted, “Freeze!” All of the men in black pulled their guns out.
The atmosphere immediately became tense.
Leng Hao wanted to take action. He was unable to snatch his father back, but could he also not be able to snatch his own younger sister back? At this moment, he saw Leng Zhiyuan, who was in Zhou Yao’s embrace, crumble. Her legs went soft, and she was about to fall down.
Leng Hao’s irises contracted, and he nervously called out, “Zhiyuan!”
“Zhiyuan!’ Zhou Yao was quick as he supported Leng Zhiyuan, and he said, “Zhiyuan, what is wrong with you? Where does it hurt?”
Her health had always been good. She practised martial arts, and furthermore, she was the kind of woman who would not say a single word no matter how much pain she was in. Now she was grunting out in pain, and that meant that she was in extreme pain.
Zhou Yao did not know where she was hurting.
Leng Zhiyuan had both hands on her stomach. There was a thin layer of cold sweat on her forehead. She used her teeth to bite down on her lower lip as she said, “My stomach hurts…”
Her stomach hurt?
Zhou Yao was frantic as he stretched his large hand out to touch her flat stomach, and he asked her, “Is it here? I will help you massage it first. We will go to the hospital right now.”
He was about to carry her in his arms.
“Major General!” Someone suddenly called out to him in shock as he said, “Older Sister-in-law…seems to be…bleeding!”
Bleeding?
Zhou Yao lowered his head. She wore a pair of dark jeans. There seemed to be liquid flowing down her thighs, and fresh blood trickled down onto the smooth surface of the main lobby.
Zhou Yao stretched his hand out to touch her bottom, and his fingers were all stained with blood.
Upon looking at the fresh blood, Zhou Yao’s dark eyes contracted. He lowered his gaze to look at Leng Zhiyuan in his embrace. He was in such a daze that he forgot to react.
It was still Leng Hao who had a quicker reaction. He loudly called out, “Call for an ambulance quickly. Send her to the hospital!”
…
Outside the operating theatre
The Flaming Forces soldiers and the men in black were all standing afar. Zhou Yao and Leng Hao were standing outside the operating theatre. Leng Zhiyuan was wheeled inside. A nurse that ran out hurriedly and asked, “Who is the patient’s family member?”
“I am!” Both men shouted out at the same time.
The nurse stuffed the piece of paper into Zhou Yao’s hand and said, “The patient has to go through dilation and curettage. Please sign at the bottom of the page.”
Zhou Yao looked at the top of the form, there were a few large words written on the very top — Abortion Agreement Form.
Abortion?
He looked at this word a few times. His brain was in a blur, and he did not get what was going on. What abortion?
At this moment, Leng Hao, who was in a bad mood, snatched the consent form and signed it immediately as he said, “I am the patient’s biological older brother. Do the surgery immediately. Please guarantee that the adult is safe.”
The nurse turned around and went into the operating theatre. The large doors of the operating theatre shut with a loud bang!
Leng Hao immediately stretched his hand out to grab Zhou Yao’s collar, and he pushed him against the wall. He clenched his teeth and glared at Zhou Yao, “You are happy now, right? The child that you and Zhiyuan were going to have is gone just like this!”
Child…
Zhou Yao suddenly recalled that there were not many times that he was together with her. They’d only been together for a short time, and after that, Leng Mu brought her away again, so there were about three or four nights.
Neither of them intended for her to get pregnant. They did not think about using protection, and those few times, the conditions did not allow it. The village and the army bases did not have any contraceptives they’d brought them on their own.
He was outside, and he did not know whether he made her get pregnant just like that. After all, he could not control himself at certain points…
No matter when they conceived the child, she was not pregnant for long, not even for half a month, and now, they’d lost the child already.
Zhou Yao’s mind was very messy. He did not like children and did not plan to have kids immediately, but now, after he lost the child, his heart felt just as if there was a large palm pinching it, and every breath that he took was painful.
Child…
Both his and her child…
He did not think that this woman was actually expecting his child.
Leng Hao wanted to give him a punch, but when he saw how Zhou Yao was so soulless right now, he slowly took his fist back. Let him taste the fruit of his sins.
Leng Hao let go of him and sat back down on the long bench in the corridor, and he waited for the surgery to end.
Zhou Yao followed the wall as he slid down slowly. His right knee was bent forward. As he placed his palm on his kneecap, he closed his eyes with his long thick eyelashes and lowered his gaze to pant for a few moments. He then turned around and punched the glass window behind him.
The glass broke apart in an instant, and there a few streaks of blood appeared on his hand. The blood flowed.
“Major General!” Xiao Zhi and the other Flaming Forces soldiers saw their Major General and their Older Sister-in-law in this state. It did not feel good, but at this moment, they also did not know how to comfort him.
As bystanders, the pain that they felt was nothing compared to the Zhou’s and Leng’s.
Bang! The large doors of the operating theatre suddenly opened up, and Leng Zhiyuan was wheeled out.
…
Leng Zhiyuan was wheeled over to the hospital ward. Leng Hao had a look inside for a moment. Ah Chen had a serious expression on his face as he ran over, then he bent down by his ear to whisper something.
Leng Hao nodded his head before he lowered his gaze down to look at Leng Zhiyuan, who was on the bed, as he said, “Zhiyuan, you can rest here. Older Brother has to go and get busy. Open your heart. Hand Dad and the Leng family’s matters over to me. I will take care of them well, and the only thing that you need to do is to take care of your own health.”
Leng Zhiyuan closed her eyes, and it was just as if she was sleeping.
Leng Hao felt bad for her, and he stretched his hand out to caress her hair. Love was really something that could not be touched. He suddenly missed the cold and cool Zhiyuan back in the past. Back then, she would not be hurt like this at the very least.
Leng Hao sighed out loud and walked out.
He walked out of the ward and saw Zhou Yao leaning against the wall with his soul all gone. He scoffed out coldly, meaning — If you had known that this would happen earlier, why would you have made that choice? You’d better settle this on your own!
Leng Hao disappeared.
After Leng Hao left, Zhou Yao slowly stood back up. He pushed the door of the ward open and walked inside with light footsteps.
