C323 Unfortunate Abortion
When Lin Lang woke up, her father, Lin's mother, was sitting on the sofa beside the sickbed with a defeated look on her face. The sunlight outside the window was bright and hot, but the low pressure in the ward made people feel a chill.
Lin Lang looked at the white ceiling above her head and recalled the incident before she fainted …
At that time, she saw that Xue Zhaowu insisted on leaving, so she chased after him and hurried downstairs. Perhaps it was the heavens' intention to make fun of her. She had been holding on to the banister tightly, but her foot still missed her. She lost her balance and tumbled down the long spiral staircase.
After the world spun around for a while, she powerlessly laid on the ground. She felt as if someone was holding her flesh with a knife in her lower abdomen, causing her face to turn pale and her head to be covered in cold sweat. She raised her head with much difficulty, looked at Xue Zhaowu's back which was a little heartless, and weakly called out his name. However, he didn't turn back, and he didn't even have a trace of nostalgia as he walked forward in large strides.
At that time, she suddenly regretted coming back to A City on the day of her birthday. She regretted chasing after Xue Zhaowu's back and ran downstairs. She regretted even more … He liked Xue Zhaowu.
It was probably from this moment onwards that her true feelings, which had been too late to deliver, were broken into pieces by Xue Zhaowu and could no longer be pieced together.
… ….
Seeing that Lin Lang had woken up, Lin's mother was momentarily unable to hold back. Tears quickly flowed from her eyes before she sobbed loudly, "Lin Lang, my poor daughter …"
Seeing how his wife was crying, Lin Bo sighed heavily. He held Lin's mother in his arms and comforted her softly, "Don't cry anymore. If you can't even control your emotions this much, then your daughter …" She will be even more upset to see you so sad — you are the mother, you must be strong. "
Lin's mother barely managed to hold back her tears when she heard this. She nodded and sighed before wiping the tears off her face. She stood up from the sofa and walked over to Lin Lang's bedside and held her hand.
"Are you better now, daughter?" Lin's mother squeezed out a smile with great effort and asked Lin Lang. However, no matter how much she tried to disguise it, the bitter smile on her face showed her sorrowful heart in front of Lin Lang.
Seeing the bitter smile on Lin's mother's face, Lin Lang knew right away that she would not be able to protect the child in her womb.
Lin Lang's eyes reddened at the thought of that tiny life disappearing just like that. However, she tried her best to hold it in and did not shed tears. Because she knew that at this moment, her parents' hearts were all broken. If she were to continue seeking death, then, how sad would her parents be!
Thinking up to here, Lin Lang reached out her hand to caress her belly. She pretended not to care and said to Lin's mother, "Mom, did you manage to protect the child in my womb?"
Lin's mother was momentarily stunned by Lin Lang's calm and indifferent expression as she spoke of the truth behind her grief. She was at a loss for words. She had thought that Lin Lang, who had lost her child, would wail in grief. However, she had never expected Lin Lang to have such a reaction. Therefore, with Lin Lang's current calm and collected demeanor, Lin's mother really didn't know what to do.
"Lin Lang..." Lin's mother looked at Lin Lang and said with a trembling voice, not knowing what to say.
Lin Lang looked at Lin's mother, then looked at Lin Bo who was sitting on the sofa. After all, he didn't turn up in the hope of his parents, did he? " The smile on Lin Lang's face was bitter.
"Lin Lang, you …" Sitting on the sofa, Lin Bo looked at his beloved daughter. The pain in his eyes made him look as if he had aged ten years overnight.
"Dad, Mom, where's Xue Zhaowu?" Lin Lang didn't see Xue Zhaowu in the ward. She hesitated for a long time before she asked.
Lin's mother let out a long sigh when Lin Lang asked about Xue Zhaowu's whereabouts. She complained, "Last night, he said he had something to do, but then you fell over. He drove you to the hospital and then he left and he still hasn't come back. "
Hearing this, the smile on Lin Lang's face became even more bitter. She lay on the bed and hesitated for a long time. Finally, she gathered up her courage and said, "Dad, mom, I have something to tell you."
Lin's mother suddenly thought of something. She walked to a nearby table, opened the thermos, and poured the soup into a bowl. Then she took the bowl and walked over to Lin Lang's bed, saying, "This is the soup that I asked my family's servants to cook for you. You should quickly drink it while it's hot and take care of your body.
"Mom, put down the bowl first. I have something important to tell you." Lin Lang looked at Lin's mother and said.
She was worried that if this dragged on, the courage she mustered with great difficulty would slowly disappear with the passage of time.
"What can happen now, more important than your body? "Good girl, listen to me. It won't be too late to drink the soup first." Lin's mother said with determination. Then, she scooped up a spoonful of soup and brought it to Lin Lang's mouth.
Upon seeing this, Lin Lang had no choice but to compromise. Since that was the case, he might as well finish the soup. After all, it wasn't too late to talk about this matter.
… ….
Xue Zhaowu came to the hospital dejectedly. Last night, not long after he had sent Lin Lang to the hospital, he had returned to his car and recalled the words that the doctor had said to his father: "We have done our best, but we were still unable to keep our son of the noble daughter — I hope both of you will forgive me!"
For some reason, at that moment, he felt pain in his heart and his eyes.
He thought of the kidnapped Soong Shiyan and wanted to drive to find her, but for some reason, his limbs were trembling so badly that he couldn't even drive away. In the end, he could only make a shaky phone call and have his hands search for Soong Shiyan's whereabouts.
He sat in the car, unmoving, for who knows how long. Finally, he got off the car and walked slowly towards Lin Lang's sickroom with his aching and numb legs.0
… ….
After Lin Lang finished her soup, Lin's mother cleaned up the dishes on the side. Lin Lang looked at her parents and took a deep breath. Then, she slowly said, "Dad, Mom, I've decided that I will divorce Xue Zhaowu in a few days."
Xue Zhaowu walked to the door of the ward, pushed it open and heard what Lin Lang said. For a moment he stood there, not daring to enter the room again. It was fortunate that all of Lin Fu and Lin's mother's thoughts were on Lin Lang, so they didn't notice him.
Hearing that, Lin Bo was shocked. As for Lin's mother, the shock in her eyes was not much better than Lin Bo's. The bowl fell from her hand and shattered into pieces on the floor.
"Lin Lang, well and proper, why do you want to get a divorce?" Lin's mother didn't even have time to clean up the fragments on the floor before she walked over to Lin Lang's bed and asked in disapproval.
"Good? Mom? Do you think I'm doing well now? " A trace of bitterness appeared on Lin Lang's face. She looked at her mother and asked faintly.
Hearing this, Lin's mother was speechless. She wasn't sure what had happened to Lin Lang and Xue Zhaowu last night, but Lin Lang's sudden mention of the divorce had caught her by surprise.
"Dad, mom, you guys should know that Xue Zhaowu doesn't like me at all. If we didn't cause such a ruckus back then, he would never have gotten married to me." Lin Lang looked at her parents and said indifferently, as if she was talking about something that had nothing to do with her.
"But Lin Lang, although Xue Zhaowu doesn't like you, what about you? Do you like him? " Lin's mother looked at her daughter and asked faintly, "Back then, it was you who insisted on marrying him. But now … "Sigh, the matter of the divorce is no small matter, you should think about it properly."
"There's no need to think about it--because I've thought it through." Lin Lang looked at her parents and spoke with a determined face, "Back then, the reason I married him was for the sake of our Lin Family. Now, I have already seen through it, no matter what others say, it's their problem and it has nothing to do with me. I will no longer change my life because of other people's eyes. "
Xue Zhaowu stood at the door of the ward and listened to the conversation between Lin Lang and his parents. He felt as if his heart was not under his control, as it was cramping in his chest, making him feel uncomfortable.
… ….
When Xue Family heard about Lin Lang's miscarriage early in the morning, Qiao Lixin immediately fell ill, while Xue Lingxi, because of her unwell condition, was inconvenient for her to travel. Therefore, Xue Hengyuan was the only one who came to A City in Xue Family.
When Xue Hengyuan arrived, he saw Xue Zhaowu standing alone at the door of the ward, looking at the situation inside. He was furious. Without saying a word, he rushed to Xue Zhaowu, grabbed him by the collar and punched him in the face.
Xue Zhaowu was beaten until he was confused. When he came back to his senses, he realized that the person who hit him was his father. He looked at Xue Hengyuan and did not speak. He just stood there silently without giving any explanation.
Seeing him like this, Xue Hengyuan was even more angry. He punched Xue Zhaowu a few times, then he swept his leg and kicked Xue Zhaowu. Although Xue Hengyuan wasn't young anymore, he was still as skilled as he was when he was young. Xue Zhaowu was kicked in the door, causing it to vibrate with a "Clang Clang" sound.
"Look at what you've done!" Xue Hengyuan looked down at Xue Zhaowu and roared angrily.
Hearing the commotion, father Lin, Lin's mother, who was in the ward, ran over immediately. They looked at Xue Hengyuan and Xue Zhaowu, who was half sitting on the ground with a face full of blood, and were speechless.
"Quickly stop! The child was almost beaten to death by you! " Although Lin's mother grumbled about Xue Zhaowu in her heart, she couldn't bear to see him beaten to such a state by Xue Hengyuan, so she shouted in a hurry.
Lin Bo finally came back to his senses after hearing Lin's mother's scream. He quickly walked to Xue Hengyuan's side and advised, "Old Xue, it's time for you to stop."
Hearing that, Xue Hengyuan looked at his father, Lin's mother, and sighed. He said with a face full of shame, "Dear, I am so unfilial! "I …"
"Let's not talk about it for now. Let's go into the room first – once the nurses and patients recognize him, it won't be easy to suppress this matter." Lin Bo said calmly and then quickly called Xue Hengyuan and his son into the house.
