Everyone paced restlessly in the hallway, watching the red light that read "In Surgery."
Low sighs.
Alas—
How did Rong Jingyang end up spitting blood after just a few drinks?
He most likely had a perforated stomach…
Please, don't let anything happen! Don't let there be any accidents! Otherwise, Qin Yunxi wouldn't be able to explain to the Rong family!
Damn it!
He should never have taken Rong Jingyang for drinks!
He just wanted to—
Divorce… Old Yang must have been devastated. He wanted to accompany him in his madness, to let him vent…
But he never expected it to turn into a life-or-death situation!
Suddenly, Qin Yunxi jumped up, murmuring to himself, "No, I have to call Du Ruoxin."
"I need Du Ruoxin to come see Rong Jingyang."
For her, he was almost losing his life.
Shouldn't she come and see him?
"Sorry, the number you have dialed is switched off. Please check—"
However, the call wouldn't connect; it remained switched off.
Du Ruoxin's phone had been unreachable for several days. Could it be that she wouldn't use the number anymore?
Qin Yunxi switched to calling Grace's mobile.
"Beep, beep, beep—"
The signal kept ringing, but no one answered.
His brow furrowed. Why wasn't Grace answering? Stupid woman, don't be angry with him at this critical juncture!
Until the signal automatically disconnected, there was still no sound.
Qin Yunxi reluctantly put away his phone.
—
Du Ruoxin felt very unwell.
From the moment she arrived at the hotel and the first dish was served, she couldn't help but vomit.
No!
She couldn't stand even the slightest smell of cooking fumes!
"Gag—"
She covered her mouth and ran out.
Cristiano followed her anxiously, "Xin'er, what's wrong?"
Du Ruoxin leaned over the washbasin, retching.
Fortunately, she ran fast, and the stimulus wasn't too severe. She managed to compose herself.
After washing her hands and wiping her mouth, she was about to turn around when Cristiano hugged her from behind, "What's wrong? You've been vomiting frequently these past two days. Are you feeling unwell?"
Du Ruoxin broke free from his embrace, "It's nothing."
It was just morning sickness due to pregnancy, but she didn't want to explain further.
Du Ruoxin walked past Cristiano, intending to return—
"Ah~~"
Suddenly, her feet lost their support.
The man scooped her up in his arms, and Cristiano said domineeringly and irrefutably, "I'm taking you to the hospital."
Du Ruoxin: "Brother, I'm fine, really fine. Put me down."
Cristiano: "I only listen to the doctor!"
Du Ruoxin: "..."
A faint dark line flashed across her forehead. It seemed she had no choice but to be upfront with him.
Du Ruoxin clutched her elder brother's shirt and said weakly, "I'm pregnant."
Cristiano's steps faltered: "—"
What? What did she just say?
Du Ruoxin took a deep breath and said again, "Yes, you heard correctly. I'm pregnant with Rong Jingyang's child."
Cristiano gritted his teeth, his expression turning cold and terrifying with lightning speed.
Du Ruoxin felt a deathly aura, and her heart skipped a beat. But soon, she spoke forcefully, "I don't care, I'm going to give birth to it."
"This child is not just Rong Jingyang's, it's mine too."
"If you don't agree, then we won't see each other from today onwards."
Cristiano felt his mind explode, and all his strength seemed to drain away in an instant.
"Clatter—"
He let go.
Du Ruoxin seized the opportunity to distance herself several meters, "I'm going to America to carry the pregnancy, and Doudou will also go to America to study with me."
If he didn't like it, that was fine.
She could have the chance to leave and live a quiet, peaceful life on her own.
"Du Ruoxin!"
Seeing the woman about to walk out the door, Cristiano urgently shouted, "Stop!"
