Leng Jing's face was as pale as paper, and her eyes had lost their former luster. After a moment of silence, she immediately grabbed Ji Qingzhen's hand as if it were her last lifeline. Urgently, she asked, "How's the baby?"
Ji Qingzhen didn't say a word. Only grief was revealed in his eyes.
Seeing his expression, Leng Jing felt a pang of unease in her heart. "Say something! Has something happened to our baby?"
Unconsciously, she placed her hand on her belly as if she could still feel the baby's presence.
Ji Qingzhen stared at Song Ge with hatred in his eyes, which soon turned into understanding. "It was Song Ge. Song Ge told the doctor to abort the baby." He paused. "The baby is gone. I'm heart - broken too."
Song Ge looked at Ji Qingzhen in disbelief and was about to say something when he interrupted her. "Don't blame Song Ge. She did it for your own good. It's okay. We'll have our own baby in the future."
These words not only pointed the finger at Song Ge but also made Ji Qingzhen appear kind - hearted.
Song Ge let out a cold snort. He was really smart!
Leng Jing looked at Song Ge in disbelief. Tears welled up in her eyes uncontrollably. She looked extremely pitiful. "Song Ge, why did you do this? Why? Give me back my baby! Give me back my baby!"
"Leng Jing, listen to my explanation. Things are not what you think. It was Ji Qingzhen..."
Leng Jing covered her ears and shook her head frantically. "I don't want to listen! I don't want to listen!"
Just as Song Ge was about to speak, Leng Jing fainted due to the excitement.
Song Ge panicked and quickly pressed the emergency bell.
Ji Qingzhen stood there with his arms folded, looking like he was watching a show. In a calm tone, he said, "Tsk, tsk, tsk. What should we do now? Do you think Leng Jing will hate you for the rest of her life? I think so."
Each word made Song Ge clench her fists tightly. "Ji Qingzhen, you bastard!"
"You know very well that Leng Jing loves you deeply, but you've been using her all along!"
The smile on Ji Qingzhen's face became even more evident. He curled his lips in a mocking sneer. "What does it matter to me?" He suddenly took a step closer to Song Ge. "I'm just waiting to see you two turn against each other."
The doctors and nurses rushed over. Ji Qingzhen immediately changed his expression and looked worried. "Doctor, you must save my wife."
"We'll do our best." The doctor immediately sent Leng Jing into the emergency room.
Ji Qingzhen stood outside the operating room. Similarly, Song Ge didn't leave. They each occupied a position.
Suddenly, Ji Qingzhen got up and walked towards Song Ge.
The look on his face seemed familiar to Song Ge. Before she could say anything, the expression on Ji Qingzhen's face disappeared, and he became cold.
"Song Ge, if Leng Jing dies because of you, do you think you and Zhai Cheng can still be together?"
Song Ge felt a chill down her spine. She asked warily, "What do you want to do?"
Ji Qingzhen played with his fingers casually. "What do you think?"
Song Ge took a step back and trembled all over. She was afraid of someone for the first time. Ji Qingzhen was really terrifying. No one knew what he was thinking. More importantly, Leng Jing cared about him deeply. Even if they exposed Ji Qingzhen in front of Leng Jing, she probably wouldn't believe them.
"Ji Qingzhen, what on earth do you want?" Song Ge roared angrily.
Seeing Song Ge's angry expression, Ji Qingzhen laughed even more smugly. "I just like to see you guys roar in anger but be helpless at the same time."
Suddenly, the light in the operating room went out. Ji Qingzhen walked forward first. "Doctor, how is she?"
"The patient is very weak now and can't be stimulated anymore."
The nurse wheeled Leng Jing into a regular ward, and Song Ge followed.
"You'd better not follow. Leng Jing doesn't want to see you."
Song Ge insisted. She must explain this matter clearly to Leng Jing.
After arriving at the ward, Ji Qingzhen left. No one knew where he had gone. Song Ge stayed in the ward alone.
"Cough, cough." Leng Jing coughed twice violently and opened her eyes. When she saw Song Ge, her face changed instantly.
"You're awake. Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"
Leng Jing wanted to say something but found that she couldn't make a sound. She coughed again, and her voice was weak. "Go away. I don't want to see you."
Song Ge explained anxiously, "Don't believe what Ji Qingzhen said. I didn't..."
Suddenly, the door was pushed open. Ji Qingzhen came in from the outside, rushed to the bedside, and held Leng Jing's hand. He looked very worried about her. "You're awake. I'll call the doctor."
Leng Jing held Ji Qingzhen's hand and shook her head. "No need." Then she looked at Song Ge. "Let her go."
Ji Qingzhen glanced at Song Ge, gave a smug smile, and then disappeared. He said somewhat embarrassedly, "Song Ge, you'd better go first. She doesn't want to see you now."
"Leng Jing, listen to me. Ji Qingzhen..."
"Enough!" Leng Jing suddenly roared loudly. "Song Ge, I didn't attack you only because of my uncle. I lost my baby because of you. Can't you understand a mother's feelings?"
As she spoke, her tears streamed down.
At this moment, the nurse pushed the door open and came in to change Leng Jing's dressing.
Song Ge still didn't leave.
"Nurse sister, please help me drive her out."
The nurse glanced at Song Ge, looking a bit embarrassed, but still said, "The patient needs to rest now and can't be stimulated. So..."
Song Ge naturally understood. She glanced at Ji Qingzhen. "Ji Qingzhen, I will expose your true face one day."
After saying this, Song Ge turned around and left.
Ji Qingzhen helped Leng Jing sit up and asked about her well - being.
Leng Jing leaned on his shoulder and stroked her belly. "Husband, our baby is gone." As she spoke, she sobbed softly.
Ji Qingzhen remained expressionless, but his voice was surprisingly gentle. "It's okay. We'll have children in the future."
Leng Jing didn't say a word. She just leaned quietly. Her tears fell on Ji Qingzhen's clothes and gradually soaked a patch.
Song Ge left the ward. She thought it was no use staying here. Leng Jing would get angry when she saw her, which might stimulate her. She'd better go back first.
Thinking like this, Song Ge went outside to hail a taxi and told the driver the address of the villa.
Suddenly, her phone rang. It was a call from her assistant. Song Ge's first instinct was that the matter was related to Zhai Cheng.
"Has something happened to Zhai Cheng?" Song Ge asked directly after answering the call.
The assistant was stunned for a moment and then replied, "Something has indeed happened. The company's financial manager has embezzled money and run away."
Song Ge almost dropped the phone in her hand. "What did you say?"
"It should be affected by the previous incident."
Song Ge felt extremely uneasy. She knew this must be a huge blow to Zhai Cheng.
