"I don't know. We are at the hospital," he stated and Jin Liwei stood up immediately.
"What happened?" he asked and he sensed a certain coldness in his voice. "We don't know. I found her unconscious in her room," he said. "Send me the hospital address," he said walking to the closet and grabbed a jacket. "You don't have to come. I just thought I should let you know," said Jiang. "You very well know that it's impossible," he stated getting dressed in the jacket. Giving him the address, he realized that it was the same hospital her father had died. He didn't want to believe that this was happening. He spoke to her not so long ago and she was fine. Could she have passed out due to nervousness?
Running to the car, he wanted to start it but he felt his hands shaking and he told himself to relax. But how could he relax in this state?
He had to reach there and find out what the matter was himself.
He drove like a mad man until he reached the hospital. The moment he got out of the car, he caught sight of Li Jiang standing at the front side of the hospital. Not wanting to take any risks, Jiang had come outside to wait for him. He feared that he might lose it and just come to where they were sitting.
"Mr Jin Liwei! You should calm down first! I don't think it will best if mother sees you," he said the moment he reached him.
"How can I relax when I don't know what's happening to her?" he asked. "For our own good, relax." He took a deep breath to calm his raging nerves and asked," What exactly happened to her?" He explained the state in which he found her and how he brought her to the hospital. "The doctors haven't said anything?" he asked. "Not at all. She was just taken to the ICU after the examination," he explained. "ICU?!" he couldn't believe it.
"Yes we don't know why she was taken there either. Since I've told you everything, I will have to go back inside. I will be informing you incase anything happens."
Walking inside, he realized that Jin Liwei was following after him. Turning to face him, he asked, "What is it?" "You think I can leave when she's in that state?" "You think it will do any good if mother sees you?"
"I will keep my distance. I will be careful not to let her see me," he said and Jiang gave him a long stare before continuing to move. This man was indeed strong willed! Stubborn, just like Li Fei.
"Stop here! Don't come to the corridor," he warned before continuing towards the corridor. When Jin Liwei peeked, he caught sight of Li Mei and Jianyu on a seat.
He leaned against the wall and closed his eyes in thought. Could it be that he was responsible for this? Because he had been pestering her to talk to her mother about them? He swore not to talk about it again after here.
He just wished and hoped she's alright. This reminded him of the time he was waiting for a miracle to happen to Shan which never came. What if she met the same fate? He was sure that he wouldn't be able to take it this time. He was not leaving not until she was fine and speaking to her, even if it meant exposing himself to her mother. He didn't care at all and the only thing he cared about was her safety.
A few hours later, the doors to the ICU were opened and Li Fei was wheeled out by the nurses then taken to a ward. The three stood up all at once to hear what the doctor had to say. Seeing this, Jin Liwei lost control and also walked over to the place. His entire being wanted only one thing, to know how she was doing.
Luckily, their backs were facing him, so they didn't see him approaching.
"Doctor!! Please tell me. How is my daughter doing?" asked Li Mei immediately and they all kept quiet to listen to what he was going to say. "Your daughter was poisoned with a very dangerous substance called Ricin but luckily, she was brought on time and we were able to save her life," he said and they were all dumbstruck.
Poisoned? Who would dare to do such a thing to her? When did it happen?
Jin Liwei got filled with a murderous aura on hearing that. Who would dare to kill her? He was going to hunt them down and make them pay!
"But..." he was broken from his trance when the doctor said. "But what doctor?" Li Mei looked at him. "We are sorry. We couldn't save the baby in her womb. The poison had already damaged the foetus," he explained apologetically and everyone was shocked by the news once again. Li Fei was pregnant?!!
Li Mei's eyes turned to look at Jianyu wondering if he was the baby's father when she heard a voice," The baby?! She was carrying our baby?!" With that, they all turned to see the person speaking and Li Mei's face turned pale that instant. What was this man doing here and what was he saying?
"W-what are you doing here?!" she managed to ask after so long. She felt her whole body shaking from so much rage as she asked. "I'm here for Li Fei," Jin Liwei mentioned and Li Jiang mentally scolded him. What had he done?! But it was too late because it was already done.
"What do you want from my daughter?! Leave this place!!" she yelled. "I can't leave her in this state especially when she has just lost our child. She needs me," he stated as a matter of fact. Her face turned even paler," Your child?" "Yes, our child," he confirmed. Unable to take in the information, she fainted but luckily, Jianyu was quick on catching her before she could reach the ground.
"Are you satisfied now?! I told you!" Li Jiang scolded him and the nurses rushed to take her to the ward. "I couldn't take it anymore. I didn't know she was pregnant," he said. "If anything happens to my mother, you can forget we even had a conversation," he said before leaving to check on his mother.
Jianyu spared him a glance and walked to where Jiang had left to.
Jin Liwei remained behind confused. He just messed up everything. What if something happens to the woman? But could they blamed him? He was just so overwhelmed with the news of losing a child. For the third time, he had once again lost on the opportunity of being a father. Was he being punished for making these people's lives miserable?
