Chapter 517: It feels like a sharp knife stabbed into my chest, very painful
Mo Qian turned her body around, his expression solemn as he looked into her eyes. "Listen to me. Don’t scare yourself. The doctor said the baby will be fine. Trust me."Ji Wei stared at him in panic, her body trembling uncontrollably. "Will it really be fine? I was bleeding..."
"I’ll call the doctor right away. Don’t be scared, I’m here."
Mo Qian stroked her silky hair and comforted her constantly.
He carried Ji Wei back to the hospital bed, and soon the attending doctor arrived.
After asking about the situation, the doctor informed them that a sonogram was needed for further examination to clarify the specifics.
Both of them agreed.
Before heading into the ultrasound room, Ji Wei clutched Mo Qian’s hand tightly.
Her palm was soaked with sweat, and her worried eyes pierced straight through him, making his heart clench tightly.
"It’ll be okay. I’ll wait for you to come out," Mo Qian pressed a kiss to the back of her hand, reassuring her.
The waiting period felt like an eternity.
To suppress the panic surging in his heart, Mo Qian lit a cigarette.
When Chen Ke arrived, he saw Mo Qian standing by the window in the corridor, smoking. His tall figure exuded exhaustion, and his deep eyes gazing into the night outside seemed lost in thought.
"Mr. Gu, our people have been monitoring that secretary with the surname Tang. So far, nothing unusual has been found," Chen Ke reported from behind him.
Mo Qian paused mid-smoke, his voice hoarse as he replied, "Keep watching her."
After a moment’s pause, he added, "Also, I want you to convene all the Ji family shareholders and assist them in clearing any accusations of tax evasion. Tell those shareholders not to worry about the Ji family’s future, as the Gu family will be their most reliable support."
Chen Ke responded affirmatively to each instruction.
Ji Wei finished her examination and was escorted back to the hospital room by Mo Qian.
After taking her medicine, Mo Qian noticed her lethargy and pulled up a chair to sit by the bed, patiently coaxing her.
Listening to his gentle words, Ji Wei’s eyelids grew heavy, and soon she drifted off to sleep.
Once he was certain she was asleep, Mo Qian got up and picked up the sonogram report the nurse had just delivered.
With a restless heart, he read through it, his expression shifting rapidly as an incomprehensible emotion shadowed his handsome face.
Then, he retrieved a lighter from his pocket and set the corner of the report ablaze.
Amid the flickering flames, his ink-black eyes were clouded with deep, unrelenting sorrow.
The report burned to ashes in the trash can.
After handling everything, Mo Qian strode into the bathroom and closed the door behind him.
He took out his phone and dialed a number. "Dean Zheng, there’s something I need to ask of you. All records regarding my wife’s case at the hospital must remain confidential. No one can know, including her..."
After hanging up, Mo Qian slumped against the door, closing his eyes in exhaustion.
It felt as though a sharp blade had been driven into his chest, causing him unbearable pain.
And yet, there were some secrets he could never tell anyone.
After taking a hot shower for more than half an hour, Mo Qian finally composed himself and stepped out of the bathroom, returning to the bedside.
Ji Wei slept uneasily, her delicate brows furrowed, and a fine layer of sweat glistened on her forehead.
Mo Qian smoothed out the crease between her brows with gentle care. He then wrapped her small hand in his palm and whispered softly, "Sleep well. Everything will get better, I promise you. Good night, my Mrs. Gu."
With that, Mo Qian pressed a kiss on Ji Wei’s lips before reluctantly letting go and lying down on the nearby sofa in his clothes.
The lights in the hospital room dimmed, and in the darkness, he kept his eyes open.
A single tear silently slid down the corner of his eye.
