The little thing wanted to cook dinner for him, and Gooseberry had said so. She was busy preparing dinner for him, but something happened to her before she even had time to eat it.

Ling Qiao sat on the edge of the bed, not feeling the least bit sleepy. He kept holding her hand, as he did not want her hand to always be cold.

Foolish girl, she definitely wouldn't have expected this to happen. Otherwise, she wouldn't have happily asked him when he would return home, and she still didn't know anything. How would she tell him when she woke up?

The nurse on duty came in and turned on the dehumidifier. The weather was too humid now. She looked at Ling Qiao who was sitting on the bed and softly said, "Young Master Ling, you should rest for a bit. It's already 2 o'clock."

"It's fine. I'm looking at her." Ling Qiao's voice was slightly hoarse, still calm and collected.

The nurse shook her head and went out.

ShuShu slept all night. The morning sun was very bright and shone through the gaps between the blinds, shining on her eyelids so hard that she could not open her eyes.

Ling Qiao felt her hand move, and as he was napping, he immediately became clear-headed. He held her hand tightly, while the rough fingers of his other hand caressed her face. "Wife, you're awake?"

ShuShu's eyelids twitched as she slowly got used to the sunlight. She slowly opened her eyes and saw a blurry figure between them. She blinked a few times and said, "Hubby, you're back." "She smiled as she always did, a sweet smile, but with a pale face.

Ling Qiao stroked her bangs and caressed her face. Calmly, he squeezed out a slight smile. "Mm, I'm back."

His chin and lips were covered in stubble, black and blue. His eyes were bloodshot, and his face was haggard. However, his short hair didn't look messy, but rather, it was erect and spirited.

Seeing her smile, he smiled too, like the warm rays of the spring sun.

He bent down and kissed her lightly on the brow. The fine stubble tickled her, but it didn't hurt.

Shu Shu's eyes moved around a bit, seeing the snow-white wall, and the little drops hanging on the wall, as well as Ling Qiao's heartbroken and worried expression. Her memories also slowly returned to her mind.

She was still smiling, but his eyes were filled with tears. Wasn't this the hospital? Ling Qiao had not slept for the entire night, she thought, he knew what he had lost.

One of his hands was clutched tightly to her stomach, and the other, dripping, was caressing it desperately. Her baby was still so young, so small that it didn't show it yet, and it was as flat as if it wasn't pregnant.

Ling Qiao saw that she was laughing through her tears, and felt so much pain that he did not know what to do. His rough fingers tried to wipe away her tears, but they kept flowing again and again. He couldn't hold back his tears. It was said that a man's tears wouldn't fall easily, but they didn't reach the point of being sad. He was sad, because even a child would never be this sad. When he saw Shu Shu cry, he couldn't hold back.

"Hubby …" She covered her abdomen, the more she endured, the more pain she felt, the more she endured, "Hubby, my stomach is hurting, hurry up and call the doctor to come look, the child will be in trouble."

Ling Qiao held her face, pressing her shoulders, "Wife, we'll still have children in the future. Be good, don't be sad."

Shu Shu closed her eyes tightly, Ling Qiao's forced smile made her even more sorrowful. Her body was in pain, and her heart was in pain.

"Where are you feeling uncomfortable? I'll call the doctor. "

"No!" Shushu took his hand and cried, "Husband, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have been so headstrong, I shouldn't have learned to drive, I shouldn't have gone to work, I listened to you, I didn't take care of the good kids, I didn't think it would end like this, I thought he was very strong, I didn't know he would be so weak."

"Darling, don't be like this, it's none of your business, it's all because of the child. Don't cry, don't blame yourself, save some energy to take care of your body, next time we can also have a healthy baby."

She originally did not intend to have children so early. Her career had just started and she did not want to be described as a sparrow turning into a phoenix. She wanted to prove that her university education was not in vain, and her mother's teachings were not in vain. But she loved him, loved him, and was willing to bear his children.

Every time she vomited, she did not complain. She was happy and sweet because this was the child she loved. Every time his hand was placed on his lower abdomen, it would slightly prop up. It was very warm to the touch, but all the discomfort was no longer unbearable.

Both she and Ling Qiao were looking forward to the birth of this little life. They had even finished dressing up the baby's room. Regardless of gender, they both liked it.

Every day, she imagined what would happen after the birth of the child. If it was a boy, she would have to be like him, lean and strong, manly, but if it was a girl, she wouldn't be like him, she would have to be like herself, and a girl would be more lovable if she was petite.

She would take her children to buy clothes, go to buy vegetables, take them to kindergarten, go to primary school, make them a nutritious breakfast every morning, check out a lot of recipes online, she would do it, eat dinner, she could teach her children lessons, she could teach them how to be human, she could teach her mother how to be human, she could teach her children.

She had already prepared everything, even her stomach. She would wait for her stomach to slowly grow bigger, then she would bring it along. This way, walking would be easier. Little Xuan had said that Little Xuan wouldn't lie to her again.

And grandma, grandma always looks forward to saying, "I can finally hold my little gold great-grandson."

However, the child had suddenly disappeared. It had happened so suddenly, and she hadn't been prepared in the slightest, and the child had suddenly disappeared.

Shu Shu rubbed her stomach, trying her best to hold onto it. She just couldn't believe that the child was no longer in her stomach.

The needle on the back of her hand was accidentally touched, and the back of her hand immediately swelled up. Ling Qiao grabbed her hand and did not let her move, "Nurse, nurse, nurse!"

The nurse who heard the scream immediately came over.

"Quick, her hand is swollen."

The nurse swiftly pulled the IV needle out and covered the wound with a cotton ball. Such a scene made even the nurse's heart ache, "It's really crooked, it's really swollen. It's fine, it will go away. It will go away after I apply hot water on it. It'll go away after a while." The nurse turned around and walked to the door, then turned around and said, "Young Master Ling, if anything happens, just call us."

"Okay, thanks a lot."

Ling Qiao's hands clamped down on both of her hands, not daring to use too much strength. He only did not allow her to move about randomly and hurt himself. She was currently very weak, so he only used a little bit of strength to restrain her.

Shu Shu bit her lips until they bled. Ling Qiao's heart ached. With a hoarse voice, he advised, "Wife, if you want to cry, just cry. If you cry, you'll be fine."

Shu Shu shook her head, her tears still flowing. "I'm not qualified to be a good mother. I just care about what I want to do. How can I do that …"

Ling Qiao suddenly hugged her and buried her face into his chest, saying loudly, "If there's no more, then there's no more. The important thing is that you're still here, and we're both still here. It doesn't really matter."

Finally, she started crying, releasing all the pain from her heart. Fortunately, she still had Ling Qiao, and Ling Qiao had always been by her side. This pain, someone had shared with her.

After crying and being tired, ShuShu gradually fell asleep again. Ling Qiao called the nurse over and hung up another IV for her before changing her hand.

The nutrient solution flowed into her body drop by drop, and after much difficulty, her warm hand turned ice-cold again. Her face was still as pale as paper. Even when she was asleep, her brows were tightly knitted, unable to stretch at all.

Ling Qiao held her swollen hand and kissed it. He really wanted to kiss her wounds, even if it was just a tiny bit.

He suddenly discovered that not only was the back of her hand bruised, even her arm was bruised, and there were dark purple colored blood spots. These were left behind from her blood transfusion during her rescue yesterday.

Ling Qiao was extremely regretful. How great would it be if he did not go on a business trip. No matter how important this shitty job was, it was not as important as ShuShu.

At this moment, Doctor Lin knocked on the door and came in. She took out the newly issued blood examination report, "Ling Qiao, come over here. There's something I need to tell you."

"Don't tell me anything. I just want to be with her in peace."

"It's about the miscarriage of the young mistress."

Ling Qiao's eyelids twitched as he turned to look at Doctor Lin. Doctor Lin solemnly nodded his head and said, "It's very important. Come here and talk."

He walked to the window and handed the blood report in his hand to Doctor Lin. "This is the blood report from Shu Shu. It just came out."

Ling Qiao swept a glance over it and saw a string of data. However, he did not understand these details. "What do you mean?"

"The miscarriage this time was definitely not an accident. It was deliberately caused by someone. She ate an excessive amount of aloe, and was poisoned to death."

Ling Qiao's eyes widened, veins popping out from his forehead. He lowered his voice and asked incredulously, "What did you say?"

Dr. Lin said heavily, "You can't be wrong. Dr. Zhu has been in clinical practice for many years, and he has never seen anything. Shu Shu's condition is not like one or two times, but it was accumulated over a period of time. I heard from the maid that she had diarrhea before, and that since you were away on a business trip, she has had intermittent diarrhea. It must be that someone intentionally mixed aloe vera with it, Ling Qiao, I think you have to go home and check, and the people you have hired are not clean. "

Ling Qiao furrowed his brows. He had only invited Aunt Zhang, Ah Ju, and Chef Shen with the intention of taking good care of Shu Shu, but he had never thought that it would harm Shu Shu. Two experienced nannies and a cook, both so close to Shushu that it was even possible that even if Adrienne had accompanied Shushu to the hospital yesterday, she would not have been able to dispel the suspicion.

Ling Qiao turned around and glanced at the sleeping Shu Shu, "Doctor Lin, I'll have to trouble you to take care of this place. I need to go home."

"Yes."

With that said, Ling Qiao rushed back to the Chun Shuyuan Courtyard without stopping.

Ling Qiao drove back to Chun Shuyuan and called a servant on the way back. He still hadn't arrived yet. He walked into the house. The blood in the kitchen had already been cleaned, but he could still see the bright red blood at the corners.

His heart couldn't stop throbbing. He stood in front of the stage in a daze, thinking that this was where Shu Shu fell down. He was extremely worried.

On the board, the side dishes such as bamboo shoots, potato shreds, and vegetables had all dried up. There was also the half-cooked squirrel cinnamon fish which were all cooked by Shu Shu. However, before she could finish cooking, something happened.

Ling Qiao pulled out a piece of fish and fried it until it turned golden, only that it had turned soft. He could imagine that when the fish was first fried, it would be crispy, and that Shu Shu had definitely tried it before.

As he thought of this, bitterness arose within his heart.

Ling Qiao could also cook, and he knew where all the seasonings in the house were kept. He glanced around the kitchen, and then rummaged through all the boxes and cabinets, only to find nothing strange.
