Chapter 358 - 188.
Skipping the significant analysis in the middle, Nan Wan caught sight of seven words at the bottom of the identification conclusion: Confirmed no blood relationship.Her mind went blank first, and then within a few fleeting seconds, all the disbelief surged like a raging tide, finally settling into calmness.
The entire process lasted only a minute.
Shen Zhimei walked to the door and naturally pulled the wind-scattered identification paper from Nan Wan’s hand, "Weren’t you supposed to go to the countryside for me? Why are you back?"
"I have a special situation," Nan Wan, with her exquisite brows and eyes showing little fluctuation, closed the hospital room door, "Third brother, are you being discharged today?"
Nan Ze, who had changed out of his hospital gown and stood by the bedside, wore a white shirt paired with black suit pants, his stature tall and straight, with a quarter-blood mix that made his features deep and silent, looking exactly the same as that day a year ago.
It was as if the accident never happened, and he never fell into a coma for over three hundred days and nights.
Nan Ze folded the diagnostic paper and slipped it into his wallet’s compartment, responding with a "Hmm."
His shirt buttons were not fastened yet; Shen Zhimei stood before him, buttoning them one by one, with the sunset’s afterglow seeping through the window, each frown and smile captured as a beautiful silhouette.
Shen Zhimei turned her head and asked, "What special situation?"
Nan Wan walked to the sofa to sit, smoothing her soft long hair to one side, her expression calm as she said, "I’m pregnant."
She said it lightly, as if stating, ’I’m hungry.’
Shen Zhimei’s gaze landed on Nan Wan’s stomach, which revealed nothing unusual, thinking it was wrong, who gets nauseated from the smell from four or five tables away!
Running to Bai Shui Village while pregnant? Has her brain been kicked by a donkey?
Compared to Shen Zhimei’s anger, Nan Ze appeared much calmer and more composed, with unaffected brows, "How long has it been?"
Nan Wan pursed her lips and softly said, "Over three months, just had a check-up, all indicators are normal."
Nan Ze glanced at her, then slowly rolled his shirt sleeves up to his elbows, scolding in a low voice, "All those years in medical school for nothing? Don’t you know the first three months are the most prone to accidents? You dare go anywhere, so careless."
Nan Wan bowed her head and said nothing.
If your wife hadn’t been selected, would I have needed to make a trip?
Of course, these words could only remain in Nan Wan’s heart, as an elder brother like a father, in front of her third brother, even the word ’weak’ wouldn’t suffice.
But if her third brother hadn’t woken up, if Shen Zhimei hadn’t been selected to go to the countryside, if she hadn’t gone to that old granny’s house, yesterday’s brushes with life and death wouldn’t have happened.
She wouldn’t have heard her own heartbeat so clearly and firmly.
Every cause has an effect, and every effect has a cause.
"Alright, Wanwan knows in her heart, don’t be so fierce," Shen Zhimei remembered she had hidden it from her four years ago, gracefully choosing not to pursue it further. Latest content publıshed on novelhall.com
Her palm-sized face rubbed against the man’s chest, eyebrows arched, smiling softly, "Wait for me a moment, I’ll greet the attending physician, then we can go home."
Nan Ze’s dark eyes gathered warmth, "Hmm."
Things meant to be known will eventually be known.
The door closed, Nan Wan knew Shen Zhimei left the space for her, so she didn’t beat around the bush, "Brother, when did you know?"
Jiang Xiaoman put such a big green hat on Nan Chengzhi, and yet she managed to hide it safely for twenty-eight years, turns out, Nan Chengzhi was already this muddled in his youth.
Standing by the window, Nan Ze’s shadow elongated on the floor, half his face bathed in the orange dusk, the other in shadow.
Veiled and profound.
"A long time ago," his thin lips parted, voice low and somewhere between gentle and indifferent, "Take care of yourself and the child in your belly, leave the rest to me."
Matters between men can only be solved using a man’s methods.
Sitting on the sofa, Nan Wan stared at Nan Ze, dazed for a moment before murmuring, "Brother, you guys will be fine, won’t you?"
She was referring to ’you guys.’
Nan Ze turned, his formerly stern and resolute features now gentle, walked to Nan Wan, bent down, and, just like when they were kids, patted her hair, "Don’t worry, Third Brother won’t leave you."

From getting in the car to walking into the bedroom, Nan Wan felt bewildered.
Before Third Brother’s accident, Nan Huaiyu would occasionally go to her school dormitory to block her, though he restrained himself somewhat, he would find a chance to whisper those vile words in her ear, avoiding everyone’s sight.
