After he said this, he took a step back. The fear and panic he had just felt had quickly turned into cold ruthlessness.
Qiao Lian also froze as she looked at his expression.
She knew that look on his face. It meant that there was no chance of turning things around.
No chance of turning things around.
Her child… She hadn’t even felt the heartbeat of her child. Was her baby going to be taken away from her body just like that?
Qiao Lian harshly bit her lip as she watched the nurse approach her, following Lu Nanze’s instructions. She looked as someone else held her arm and then as the needle was inserted into her skin.
Following this, she saw the nurse turn on the drip. The drugs and fluid in the drip bottle flowed into her body through the needle.
The icy cold fluid caused a chill to spread throughout her limbs.
No!
She couldn’t allow this.
All her sanity instantly vanished.
Her limbs were held down and she couldn’t move. The only part of her body she could move was her head.
Without thinking, she used her head and crashed it against the bodyguard who was tightly gripping her wrist.
Bam!
The bodyguard was pinning her arm down with one hand, holding the drip bottle in the other.
He was holding it tightly, but right there and then, Qiao Lian had only one thing in her mind, one goal.
Knock the drip bottle over, spill the content inside.
Using her head, she aggressively broke the bottle.
And at the same time, blood flew in every direction!!!
And at once, a bloody and deep wound appeared on her forehead.
Who would have thought that Qiao Lian would risk her own life like this?
She had broken such a sturdy drip bottle using her forehead.
Her forehead.
Everyone in the room was stunned.
The drip bottle fell on the ground and cracked.
Her gaze shifted to the IV needle inserted into her wrist. Blood had flowed back out of her vein, into the IV tube.
Qiao Lian’s head snapped upwards and she glared at Lu Nanze with blazing eyes, looking like she was going to eat someone alive. Her eyes were burning with hatred as she coerced him, “Second Brother, if you kill my child, no matter what it takes, I, Qiao Lian, swear that I will not make peace with you!”
After this extreme announcement, her eyes rolled backwards and she fell unconscious.
Everyone in the room was shaken to the core.
They all stood there, staring in a daze at the traumatized woman on the operating table.
They stared at the blood flowing out of her arm, at that deep and gaping wound on her head.
Until Lu Nanze’s pupils shrank back suddenly, recovered from the shock. As he turned around, he shouted, “Qiao Lian!! Hurry! To the hospital!!”
At the hospital.
Outside the emergency room.
Lu Nanze stood there at a loss and in a daze.
He stared at the door of the operating theatre, not moving at all.
The only image in his mind was of Qiao Lian, and that one thing she had said just before fainting.
He suddenly recalled a time when he was young. He had angered his mother and she had given him the cold treatment.
He had sat alone by a field gloomily.
In the end, Qiao Lian had looked for him to comfort him.
Later on, he had asked her in wide-eyed innocence, “Qiao Lian, if in the future I make you angry, will you also ignore me?”
The young Qiao Lian had laughed happily and said with a wave of her hand, “Aren’t you a little silly? If you make someone angry, then you’ll just have to shamelessly apologize and the person will eventually forgive you.”
Hence, he had always felt that no matter what he did, as long as he shamelessly stuck around her, in the end he would be forgiven.
But right at this very moment, the way she had retaliated and knocked some sense into had made him suddenly understood.
She would readily exchange her own life for that child.
