"How can you think that?" Mengyao tried to push him away and explain, "You are someone close to me now. You are the only one I love, no one else."
Jiaxi couldn't hear anything at the moment, he just wanted her to know who truly possessed her!
He frantically unbuttoned her clothes. Seeing the dangerous look in his eyes, she struggled, "Jiaxi, you're crazy, you can't do this!"
Jiaxi held her tightly and tore off her clothes.
Mengyao's resistance only made him more enraged. He simply lifted her up and spread her legs apart.
Her strength was no match for his. She wanted to scream but he covered her mouth.
In their struggle, Jiaxi still had the upper hand.
He had lost his reason and madly desired her.
Mengyao let out a pained cry from deep within her throat, which seemed to startle Jiaxi.
Jiaxi's heart tightened, and he stopped. He saw that Mengyao was no longer struggling.
He felt something sticky on Mengyao's leg. He looked down and saw blood.
Jiaxi, in extreme panic, put clothes back on Mengyao. Seeing her eyes tightly shut and her face streaked with tears, he realized he had been too reckless!
He picked her up, kicked open the door with his foot, and shouted, "Mom, Mom! Come quickly and see what's wrong with Mengyao!"
Jiaxi's mother was just about to go to bed when she heard Jiaxi's shout. She immediately put on her coat and ran out. She saw Jiaxi holding Mengyao, whose clothes were disheveled, and blood was dripping down Mengyao's legs.
"You've sinned! Aren't you going to the hospital immediately!" Jiaxi's mother yelled at Jiaxi.
Jiaxi was already scared stiff and repeated his mother's words, "To the hospital."
His mother hurried to call the family driver to drive.
Jiaxi carried Mengyao into the car as quickly as possible.
Mengyao felt her stomach cramping. Her consciousness was already blurring as she said, "The baby, save my baby..." and then lost consciousness.
She felt as if she had a long nightmare. When she opened her eyes, she found herself lying in a hospital bed, receiving an IV drip.
"You're awake."
Mengyao heard Jiaxi's voice and couldn't help but tremble, knowing that what had happened was not a nightmare.
"Is the baby gone?" she stared blankly at the ceiling.
Jiaxi carefully held her hand and said guiltily, "The baby is safe. I'm sorry, I lost control for a moment..."
Mengyao pulled her hand back, closed her eyes, and didn't want to speak anymore.
Jiaxi said uneasily, "The doctor said you need to stay in the hospital for a few days until the fetus is stable before you can be discharged."
Mengyao kept her eyes closed and said nothing. Jiaxi's terrifying appearance was still in her mind, and the man now confessing to her made her feel fearful and disgusted.
Jiaxi didn't say anything else, thinking that it was good the baby was safe. As long as their child was still there, Mengyao would forgive him sooner or later.
Mengyao truly felt very, very tired and fell asleep again.
When she woke up again, she found her mother and eldest sister surrounding her. Jiaxi was nowhere to be seen, which made her breathe a sigh of relief.
"Do you feel any better?" her eldest sister, Mengqi, asked.
Mengyao's eyes instantly welled up with tears, and she said, "Much better."
"My child, I've told you both long ago to be restrained," Wu Xiufang held her hand and said with heartache, "You are still too young and don't understand the consequences."
Mengyao felt wronged but didn't know how to tell her family.
At this moment, Jiaxi's mother, who had been standing behind, stepped forward and said, "In-laws, you are so right. I was watching them at home, but that boy Jiaxi found me annoying and specifically told me not to interfere in their affairs. Look, I only didn't manage them for one night, and something happened."
Wu Xiufang turned to Jiaxi's mother and said, "Young people just don't know any better. Fortunately, neither the child nor the adult are harmed, and we have troubled you."
"Jiaxi regrets it to death," Jiaxi's mother said. "He's gone back to shower and get things. He plans to stay by Mengyao's side day and night in the hospital for the next few days."
Mengyao's eyes were welling up with tears. She tugged at Wu Xiufang's sleeve and said, "Mom, I want to go back and recuperate for a while. Can you pick me up now and have the doctor come to our house to check on me and the fetus every day?"
When Jiaxi's mother heard this, she felt uncomfortable, as if she had mistreated her in their Hong family.
Besides, Jiaxi didn't restrain himself. In such matters, it takes two to tango; it was Mengyao herself who wasn't careful.
Jiaxi's mother pursed her lips somewhat awkwardly and said, "In-laws, Jiaxi is indeed at fault, but Mengyao is going back to her parents' home now. I'm afraid of what outsiders might say..."
"Auntie, letting my sister go home to stay is also a good time for them to separate for a while, so they won't have impulsive incidents again. After the fetus is stable at three or four months, they can discuss whether they want to live together," Mengqi interrupted Jiaxi's mother.
She saw that Mengyao's expression was not quite right. It didn't seem like she had simply lost control with Jiaxi. She always felt that Mengyao had some unspoken grievance.
Wu Xiufang also said, "In-laws, why don't I take Yao Yao back now? We have our own family doctor who can come to our home to care for Yao Yao at any time, so you can rest assured. We also care very much about the child Mengyao is carrying and will ensure the safety of mother and child."
"Of course," Jiaxi's mother said with a smile, "I have no concerns. It's best for Mengyao to recuperate at her parents' home."
Wu Xiufang also nodded with a smile and said to Mengqi, who was beside her, "Go and help Yao Yao with the discharge procedures. I'll have the driver bring our RV over, so Yao Yao can lie down and rest on the way back."
"Okay," Mengqi responded and went to help Mengyao with the discharge procedures.
Jiaxi's mother didn't say anything more, only smiled and watched as Mengyao was taken away by Wu Xiufang.
She was standing at the hospital entrance about to call Jiaxi when she saw Jiaxi hurriedly getting out of the car with bags in his hands, walking towards the entrance.
Jiaxi's mother hurried to meet him and said, heartbroken for her son, "You don't need to rush. Mengyao has already been picked up by her mother and eldest sister."
Jiaxi immediately let go of the bags in his hands and asked, "What happened? Didn't the doctor say she couldn't be discharged?"
"The doctor did say that, but their family has a private doctor. Any checks or treatments are the same as staying in the hospital," Jiaxi's mother waved her hand and said, "There's nothing I can do to stop her from going back to her parents' home."
Jiaxi heard this and turned to leave.
His mother called out to him, "Don't rush to the Huangfu family. If you go now, you'll be caught and blamed by Mengyao's family. Let's talk about it in a couple of days."
Jiaxi froze instantly. If he went to the Huangfu family now, Mengyao should have told her family the whole story, and her family would definitely condemn him.
But if he didn't go now, Mengyao was still angry with him. If he didn't appease Mengyao, what if she left him again and went to find that Song Jiaping?
Jiaxi's mother walked to his side and said, "I thought Mengyao wasn't very suitable for you from the beginning, but there's nothing I could do since you liked her. Given her family background, we can only treat her like a princess. If there's the slightest dissatisfaction, she'll feel wronged and want to go back to her parents. But it's good that she's gone, we can also relax. Don't overthink it."
