Chapter 148 - Malnutrition
Lifting his hand to his lower abdomen, at this moment, South Bridge's mood was very complex. If the bone marrow fusion was not successful, it also meant that the child in his stomach could still be left behind.
But, could she really be a good single mother?
The South Bridge sat on the bridge by the sea, its legs swaying in the air. It felt as if a cold wind was passing between its legs. It was lost in thought, not knowing what to think.
The snacks in his mouth didn't seem to have any taste and tasted like chewing wax. Nanqiao only ate a few bites, but he really couldn't eat anymore. He could only split a few bites and throw them into the sea, treating it as feeding fish.
On the Coastal Avenue.
A black luxury car was speeding along. This was an advantage that America's highways had. With fewer people and fewer cars, Yu Cen Ran opened the window and let the cold wind blow in.
The strong wind made him unable to open his eyes. He squinted his eyes as Yu Cen Ran looked in his direction for a while and then looked towards the distant coastline. She smiled bitterly as she pursed her lips.
What was he doing? He was afraid that the South Bridge would not be able to get through and that she would jump into the sea?
As he was driving, his phone suddenly vibrated. Yu Cen Ran raised her hand and put on the Bluetooth earpiece before pressing the answer button. The assistant's voice came from the earpiece, "CEO, we've found Miss Nanqiao's latest location."
"Speak."
"About three o'clock this afternoon, a driver picked up a female passenger. She seemed to be in a trance and should be somewhere near where you're headed right now."
"Alright, I understand."
After hanging up the phone, Yu Cen Ran slowed down. Her black eyes carefully scanned the outside of the window, not daring to let go of any of the corners. Her chest rose and fell slightly, her big hands that were holding the steering wheel were already drenched in sweat.
Finally, his gaze landed on a familiar figure. Yu Cen suddenly stopped the car and let out a breath. His broad shoulders leaned back against the back of the car. His eyes slightly moved as he deeply locked onto that slender figure.
'Idiot. I wonder if he will be worried. If he really does something foolish or if something unexpected happens … '
When he thought of this possibility, Yu Cen Ran was stunned. He took out his phone and dialed the number of South Bridge. The artificial intelligence woman's voice came over, "Sorry, the number you dialed is turned off."
Upon receiving this reply, Yu Cen Ran gritted her teeth in hatred. This damned woman, she was really good. She actually dared to turn off her phone. The tracking signal on her phone had been cut off. She really made it easy for him to find her!
Half an hour later, the South Bridge was still sitting blankly at the end of the bridge. The cold wind was blowing and he did not notice the car and the man behind him.
Yu Cen Ran sat in the car with a cigarette between her long, well-defined fingers. Smoke curled up and lingered in the workshop, blurring the outline and expression of her face.
Zhou Yu Chen called and asked if they had found the South Bridge. Yu Cen Ran nodded and simply replied with one word — yes.
"F * ck!" Zhou Yu Chen was about to explode. "Won't you give me a call and let me know when I find you? Young master Yu, big brother, do you know that I'm about to vomit blood!"
He moved his long finger to the window, flicked it gently, flicked away the long ash on his cigarette, and said in a cold voice, "Oh, I forgot."
Zhou Yuchen: "…"
On the other side, South Bridge was feeling dizzy from the sea breeze. Originally, he wanted to relax and calm down, but he didn't expect that he would suddenly feel dizzy and exhausted. Suddenly, South Bridge fainted.
Yu Cen Ran sat in the car. His heart skipped a beat when he saw South Bridge fall to the ground. He immediately put down his phone, hurriedly opened the door, and rushed out. He called out, "South Bridge, South Bridge, are you okay?"
At this moment, South Bridge only felt that his head was somewhat hot. Just as he fell onto the ground, his head knocked against the hard floor, and many stars began to appear in his eyes.
Hearing someone calling his name, his voice was low, magnetic and very familiar. Nanqiao struggled to open her eyes, only to see that the figure in front of her was still blurry. In the end, she was unable to hold on and completely fainted.
"Damn it!" Gritting his teeth.
Yu Cen Ran lowered her head. Her body, long and firm arms that passed through both of South Bridge's legs, was placed in the middle of her calf. Her lower body tightened slightly as she held South Bridge horizontally. Her head rested on Yu Cen Ran's shoulder as she remained silent.
Opening the car door, Yu Cen Ran gently placed the South Bridge on the back seat and fastened her seat belt. She then quickly started the engine and drove the car towards the villa.
At the same time, he picked up his phone and called Zhou Yu Chen.
"Contact your family doctor right away and scram home from the bar!" As soon as he picked up the phone, orders were issued.
Zhou Yuchen's entire face wrinkled like a black question mark. Home, how was this his home? When he came back to the South Bridge, he was like a hundred thousand volts of light!
After hanging up the phone, Yu Cen Ran threw her phone to the side. She calmly held the steering wheel as she drove steadily. After about 10 minutes, she arrived at the villa's entrance.
The doctor and Zhou Yu Chen were already waiting at the door. Seeing the south bridge, Zhou Yu Chen straightened his body a little, glanced at it, and murmured, "Why did he lose a lot of weight?"
Yu Cen Ran's fingers suddenly tightened as he hugged the South Bridge. His strength was even more gentle as if he was afraid that if he used a bit of strength, he would break a weak woman!
The family doctor followed closely behind, going upstairs and taking out a stethoscope and other tools. After a few minutes, he turned to Yu Cen Ran and said, "This young lady has not been able to rest well and has caught a cold. She has a minor illness such as cold, and is fine."
Zhou Yu Chen leaned against the door, his tall body carrying a cynical air: "Chilling wind, it's not enough to faint, is it?"
"It's like this. Some women who cannot adapt to pregnancy will experience a loss of appetite. If they don't eat enough nutrition, they will feel dizzy if their blood sugar is too low."
Because Nanqiao was currently a pregnant woman and was not suitable for medicine, the doctor only said a few good soups, letting her boil them often to drink. It was very effective for calming the fetus and recuperating.
Yu Cen Ran sat on the sofa at the side and looked at the South Bridge Bag. Behind her, she unzipped the bag and saw a few packs of tasteless snacks lying inside. Immediately, she frowned.
Without a word, he got up and walked directly to the trash can. With a swoosh, he emptied all the snacks in his bag into the trash can.
Zhou Yuchen laughed at the side, "Young Master Yu, aren't you afraid that South Bridge will settle the score with you if you do this?"
He coldly glanced over and was very displeased. Yu Cen Ran frowned as she called the assistant and told them to invite a nutritionist auntie to come to the villa and cook for the South Bridge.
Zhou Yu Chen was stunned as he listened. He raised his hand to his temple, his mouth twitching: "Young Master Yu, when we were eating instant noodles these few days, why didn't you invite them to cook?"
Yu Cen Ran was displeased and glared at him again. Zhou Yu Chen took two steps back and continued, "Young Master Yu, can you calm down and think about the problem again? Even if South Bridge wakes up and sees you, do you think she'll be willing to stay here for a long time?"
Yu Cen Ran's eyes darkened as if deep in thought. After a while, she pinched the phone and told the assistant, "There's no need to invite him."
Zhou Yuchen: "…"
Damn it, if they didn't eat the South Bridge, then they, two men, wouldn't need to eat, would they?! With his eyes turned up to the sky, Zhou Yu Chen was speechless and his anger was stoked. He then walked towards the door.
Only Yu Cen Ran and Nan Qiao were left in the room. The carved European lamp by the bed glowed with a faint yellow light. Yu Cen Ran walked over and sat down on the bed.
Occasionally, he could hear the whispering of the woman in her sleep. She spoke very softly, so he couldn't hear her clearly.
Only one clear sentence, South Bridge said, don't go, don't leave
Even in her dreams, South Bridge's brows were tightly furrowed, as if something bad was still haunting her in another world even in her dreams.
Yu Cen Ran's heart ached. She contracted for a moment before raising her hand to gently stroke the South Bridge's forehead. Her movements were gentle as she smoothed out the wrinkles on her forehead.
Just as he was about to retract his hand, his palm was suddenly grabbed by a woman. He did not wake up, and his eyes were still closed. South Bridge laid Yu Cen's hand on his face. It was warm, dry, and very comfortable.
At this moment, a rare gentle look appeared in Yu Cen Ran's eyes. Looking at the South Bridge's sleeping face, Yu Cen Ran could only hate himself for not being able to protect his beloved woman.
If there were no grudges between these families, if there was no love and hate, if their love could conquer everything …
Yu Cen Ran painfully closed her eyes as she placed her palm on the South Bridge's face. A soft and smooth feeling blossomed on her fingertips. It was a pity that she didn't have the 'if'. How could they return to their original feelings?
Yu Cen Ran's strength was very gentle as she gently caressed her face and hair. She felt her silky black hair slide between her fingers as she got up and placed a soft, feather-like kiss on South Bridge's forehead. "Don't worry, I'll definitely think of a way."
The solemn words, smack smack smack smack smack. South Bridge in the dream turned over, feel endless peace, this is a sweet sweet dream!
When she woke up on the south bridge, it was already past ten at night. She turned her head to look out the window and saw that the sky had long since darkened, and the sun had already set before she had even realized it.
South Bridge thought, she really did sleep for a long time.
Perhaps he had accidentally hit his head when he fell down, but not only did he not wake up feeling refreshed from his sleep, he even felt pain near his temple and a dull pain at the back of his head. He sat up, lifted his blanket and got off the bed.
He looked around. This was the hospital, but when had she been brought here? He stretched his back and stood in front of the window, lost in his thoughts.
Nanqiao felt that in the short span of a few seconds that she lost consciousness, she saw Yu Cen Ran. She thought for a moment and then shook her head.
Suddenly, the sound of the door being opened came from behind him. He subconsciously looked behind him and saw Mo Cheng walking in with big steps. He was holding a big bag and it was all food.
Nanqiao was puzzled. "Mo Cheng, why are you …"
