Gu Kai’s voice came through the phone waves, faintly mingling with the sound of traffic, indicating that he was on the road.

“Ranran, Zhou Lin really had an accident, and we are on our way back to the hospital. The child in her belly might not survive.”

Wen Ran was shocked upon hearing this and exchanged a glance with Wen Jin beside him. With concern, she asked, “Did she eat something she shouldn’t have?”

Zhou Lin cared greatly for the child in her belly, she should have been very careful. How had things turned out this way?

“Well, she only drank a glass of plain water. I checked the water just now and there should be no problem. The issue lies with the chair she sat on. Someone had placed a large amount of musk underneath…”

Musk?

Wen Ran’s face changed. She felt sorry for the little life, “What about MO

Zixuan, has he arrived?”

“He arrived with us. He is currently accompanying Zhou Lin in the ambulance.

When we arrived, Zhou Lin was in unbearable pain. The specifics are unclear. We will only know once we ask her later.”

“Thank you, Older Brother Gu.”

When Wen Ran called, she only asked Gu Kai to dispatch an ambulance to pick up Zhou Lin. Unexpectedly, he went in person. Although he didn’t say anything, Wen Ran was deeply touched.

Gu Kai knew why she was thanking him. He chuckled on the other end of the phone, “If you really want to thank me, then don’t be so formal… Ranran, if you have time, you can come to the hospital to check things out.”

He paused, then added.

Wen Ran was slightly taken aback, then responded with an ‘okay’ before saying goodbye and hanging up the phone.

While eating lunch with MO Xiuchen, Wen Ran received a call from Gu Kai who told her the results of the rescue. Zhou Lin’s baby was temporarily saved, but things did not look optimistic.

“Ranran, do you want to go see her?”

MO Xiuchen took out a napkin, leaned slightly over her, and gently wiped her mouth, asking softly.

“Do you want to go?”

Wen Ran looked at MO Xiuchen with puzzlement. If he didn’t want to go, she wouldn’t either. They already knew the outcome, and now it was a matter of waiting and seeing what happens next.

MO Xiuchen raised his handsome eyebrows slightly and said nonchalantly, “I don’t mind. If the one who harmed Zhou Lin’s child is really Xiao Wenqing, it would be quite a show.”

Wen Ran suddenly realized that he was going to watch the drama unfold.

“It’s not just about watching the drama. As I just said, if Xiao Wenqing did this, it means that with Zhou Mingfu’s death, Zhou Lin is no longer valuable. Of course, this is just Xiao Wenqing’s thinking, or MO Zixuan might have made her do this. But regardless, Zhou Lin is a key figure now.”

“You mean to use this opportunity to get Zhou Lin on our side?”

Wen Ran’s eyebrows slightly furrowed. The likelihood of this happening was small. They did not know how Zhou Lin felt about Zhou Mingfu’s death, she might even hate her and her brother now.

“Yes. Nothing is absolute. Just like Cheng Jia, she began by listening only to Xiao Wenqing, but hasn’t she wavered now? If we want the situation to resolve quickly, we must utilize every person and thing of value.”

“Alright, let’s go to the hospital later then. Seeing is believing, right?”

Wen Ran smiled, not sure what prompted Zhou Lin to call her for help. Perhaps, she really should go and see for herself.

Maybe it’s just as MO Xiuchen said, they may be able to make Zhou Lin turn against Xiao Wenqing. After spending some time with Xiao Wenqing, she should know something after all.

By the time MO Xiuchen and Wen Ran arrived at the hospital, it was already two in the afternoon.

In the ward, Zhou Lin, who looked pale and weak, was being harshly reprimanded by Xiao Wenqing, “Don’t you know that Zixuan and I value the child in your belly very much? If anything happens to it, I won’t be able to help you.”

“Aunt Xiao, I’m sorry, it’s all my fault.”

Zhou Lin palely looked at Xiao Wenqing in fear. Since MO Zixuan left her in the hospital, she had been truly frightened.

“Your father has worked in the pharmaceutical factory since he was young, and you’ve seen more medicinal materials than most people since your childhood. How could you not recognize the smell of musk? What’s even worse is that if I were to find you, why would I ask you to go to a place like a coffee shop? You didn’t even confirm who called you and blindly ran off. You’ve really angered me!”

Xiao Wenqing used to hide her disapproval of Zhou Lin, but now, her disgust and disdain were completely unmasked.

MO Xiuchen’s mouth curled, revealing a faint smirk, as he opened the door to the ward. The sound of the door opening interrupted Xiao Wenqing’s scolding and turned to look at them.

When she realized who had arrived, her face changed several times, her emotions rapidly receding like a tide. Her disdain was replaced by a pale worry.

She greeted them. “Xiuchen, Ranran, why are you here?”

Wen Ran sneered internally, a faint smile appearing on her beautiful face. Her gaze fell on Zhou Lin, lying in the sick bed, and said kindly, “This morning, Ah Lin called me asking me to save her child. I couldn’t make it, so I thought MO

Zixuan was closest to her and called him to go immediately. Later, I asked

Older Brother Gu to send a car to pick her up.”

It seemed Xiao Wenqing was unaware of Zhou Lin asking Wen Ran for help. A hint of surprise flickered in her eyes, and she gave Zhou Lin a stern look.

Ignoring the changes in Xiao Wenqing’s expression, Wen Ran moved to the bedside and asked Zhou Lin with concern, “From what Older Brother Gu says, it wasn’t easy to save your baby. What you need to do now is rest well, don’t think too much, maintain a joyful and calm mindset, and your baby will surely be fine.”

Zhou Lin’s eyes reddened slightly. Wen Ran’s sincere gaze and caring words gave her the comfort she needed at the moment. From the moment she began to feel severe pain in her belly until now, everyone had been cold and indifferent towards her.

MO Zixuan hadn’t spoken a word of concern when he picked her up from the coffee shop, and he cared even less for her baby on the trip to the hospital.

Just now, Xiao Wenqing arrived and immediately started blaming her. She was angry, but being under someone’s roof, she had no choice but to endure.

Although Wen Ran couldn’t rush to the coffee shop, she immediately called for an ambulance for her. If it weren’t for the speedy arrival of the ambulance, she was sure her baby wouldn’t have survived by the time MO Zixuan got her to the hospital.

Of this, Zhou Lin was more certain than anyone else!

Having seen Zhou Lin’s fluctuating emotions, Wen Ran stifled a smile. As she lifted her gaze, her eyes sparkled momentarily. Looking back at Zhou Lin, she said softly with a smile, “Before we came, we had Nanny Zhang make some soup for you. It will be sent over shortly. Just focus on resting here in the hospital… Regardless of who wants to harm your baby, you and your baby are safe here..”
