Hospital
Jiang Xinjie was still in the operating room being rescued. She had lost so much blood that she had slipped into a coma.
Li Mingxun leaned against the wall, his expression bleak.
His shirt was stained red with fresh blood, presenting a horrific sight.
Yet even in such a disheveled state, his nobility was not hidden.
Luo Qianxun sat on a bench with a pale face, nervously wringing her hands.
She knew that no matter how she explained, Li Mingxun would not believe her words, but she still wanted to clarify things.
"Li Mingxun, whether you believe me or not, I really didn't push her."
Luo Qianxun looked up at Li Mingxun, her face still bearing the clear mark of a slap, making her look extremely disheveled.
"She fell on her own. She just wanted you to mistake it as me pushing her down. I don't know why she would do such a thing..."
"Luo Qianxun, don't assume that Xinjie is as scheming as you."
Li Mingxun's gaze was sharp as he stepped closer to Luo Qianxun.
She recoiled in fright and tried to escape, but Li Mingxun brutally pulled her by the hair, "Ah... it hurts!"
"So you know what pain is? How does your pain compare to the pain of losing a child?"
Li Mingxun's harsh voice echoed in Luo Qianxun's ears, "If anything happens to Xinjie, you'll be joining her."
"Li Mingxun, why do you believe her so blindly? What you see is not always the truth."
Tears continuously rolled down Luo Qianxun's cheeks, "Why can't you see the depth of my feelings for you?"
"Because I love her."
Li Mingxun angrily pushed Luo Qianxun away, "I don't need your fake deep feelings."
Luo Qianxun collapsed onto the bench, sobbing, "Li Mingxun, one day, you will regret it."
"What I regret is being forced by my grandfather to marry you. How can you compare to Xinjie? She's so lovable and kind. How could you, a woman with such malicious thoughts, ever compare to her?"
Li Mingxun's harsh words wounded Luo Qianxun deeply.
She laughed while crying, "Li Mingxun, her kindness is all a lie, and only you were deceived by her."
"Enough! Luo Qianxun, I warn you, stop defaming Xinjie."
Li Mingxun forcefully pulled Luo Qianxun from the bench and pushed her to the ground, "One day, you will pay for what you've done."
Luo Qianxun instinctively shielded her abdomen with her elbow and knee, she needed to protect her unborn child.
The operating room door opened, and the doctor walked out. Li Mingxun quickly stepped forward, asking, "Doctor, how is she?"
"The patient lost too much blood. We couldn't save the fetus. She miscarried."
The doctor looked at Li Mingxun, "This injury has caused severe damage to her body. She must fully recuperate."
"I understand."
Li Mingxun nodded and moved forward as a nurse pushed out a small bed. Jiang Xinjie had not yet woken up, her pallid complexion made her look exceptionally fragile.
"Luo Qianxun, you will tend to Xinjie during her hospital stay."
Li Mingxun's words made Luo Qianxun pause, then asked, "Why? You could just hire a nurse."
"The baby was lost because of you."
Li Mingxun glared at Luo Qianxun, his expression grim, "How malicious are you to attack a pregnant woman. Don't you think you should atone for your sins?"
"Fine."
Luo Qianxun nodded, not bothering to argue with Li Mingxun anymore.
Did Jiang Xinjie consider the consequences before doing this?
The child was innocent. What was the purpose of Jiang Xinjie's act? Without the baby, she no longer had any chips in her hand.
