Qiao Xu didn't know how she had left the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics. She was still in a state of shock, her hand unconsciously resting on her flat belly. Who could know that a tiny life was being nurtured inside of her?
She had once dreamt of bearing Lu Moqing's child, yet she never expected it to happen after proposing a divorce from him.
After a long pause, she suddenly picked up her mobile phone and hurriedly dialed a home number—
"Grandpa, I'd like you to help me with something."
Four years later—
First Hospital, City A.
"Dr. Qiao, the patient in rescue room number three is in an extremely critical condition. Dr. Shen asks that you go there immediately."
"Alright."
When Qiao Xu arrived at the entrance of the rescue room, she was shocked by the patient on the bed.
"Lu Xintong?"
Lu Xintong was Lu Moqing's younger sister. Unexpectedly, she'd reunited with her difficult sister-in-law just after returning to the country.
Qiao Xu knitted her brows but didn't have time to think much about it. She turned to the anxious young man nearby and asked, "What's the patient's condition?"
"My wife's water broke. Doctor, please save her..."
Due to anxiety, the man spoke incoherently.
Qiao Xu frowned, knowing she wouldn't get a clear answer from him, and went straight into the rescue room.
He was left waiting anxiously outside, feeling increasingly restless as he heard no sounds coming from inside.
From not far away, hurried footsteps approached, and soon a figure appeared outside the rescue room with nervousness and anxiety.
"What happened to Tongtong?"
"She suddenly had her water break as we were leaving the house..."
Lu Moqing didn't speak further, his brow furrowed as he stared at the rescue room's door, his face tense.
He knew his sister's condition clearly. Her body couldn't tolerate pregnancy. What if...
Just then, the rescue room door opened suddenly. A person walked out, removing their mask to reveal a long-lost delicate face.
However, that face was not looking at him, but at the brother-in-law beside him.
"Are you the family member of Lu Xintong? Your wife is in great danger and needs surgery immediately. Please sign here..."
Qiao Xu instructed urgently and then turned to the intern beside her, "Prepare general anesthesia."
"Yes, Dr. Qiao."
Qiao Xu nodded.
After giving instructions, she dashed back to the rescue room. From beginning to end, she never looked at Lu Moqing's direction.
In fact, she hadn't seen him. Therefore, she didn't notice the shock and excitement brimming in his usually deep eyes.
Qiao Xu!
When Lu Moqing saw her face after pulling down the mask, his heart trembled violently.
This woman, who had left without a word four years ago and whom he had sought for four years in vain, had returned without warning.
She had unceremoniously reentered his world and caught him off guard.
His hand clenched in his pocket, struggling to control the increasingly overwhelming emotions.
Four years had passed since she left, and now she had reappeared in a completely unfamiliar role.
