Mu Sijue had a gloomy look on his handsome face, and his taut jaw showed his murderous intent.
If his anger were to be ignited, there would probably be no signs of lives within a radius of ten kilometers.
The doctor was scared by Mu Sijue’s look, but as Xu Youning’s doctor, she had to clearly explain Xu Youning’s condition to Mu Sijue. She had to be responsible for her patient.
The female doctor, who was not young, looked up at Mu Sijue and said, “Mr. Mu, the child is gone. Now, we should do our best for Miss Xu.”
“What do you mean?”
Mu Sijue’s voice sounded like an icicle which caused the temperature to drop by several degrees.
The doctor resisted the chill and said, “We found that Miss Xu is not in good health. We suggested getting rid of the child as soon as possible so that Miss Xu’s health can improve. Mr. Mu, you and Miss Xu are still young. You still have a lot of opportunities.”
Mu Sijue narrowed his eyes and said, “Repeat what you just said.”
The doctor thought that she had made the first half of her words clear enough, and Mu Sijue probably did not hear the second half clearly.
She took a deep breath and repeated, “Mr. Mu, you and Miss Xu…”
“Shut up!” Mu Sijue interrupted the doctor coldly and cast a freezing glance at her. “It’s my child. Without my permission, anyone who dares to deal with him will not survive till the next day!”
Only then did the doctor realize that it was not that Mu Sijue did not hear her clearly, but he was provoked by her suggestion to get rid of the child as soon as possible.
A chill ran down the doctor’s spine. She quickly lowered her head and said, “Mr. Mu, I see.”
Mu Sijue ordered coldly, “Get out!”
The doctor did not dare to say more and rushed out of the ward as fast as she could.
There were only Xu Youning and Mu Sijue left in the spacious room now.
Mu Sijue approached Xu Youning, one step at a time, and suddenly gripped her chin.
His knuckles turned white, which evidently showed how much strength he exerted. Anyone who saw it would probably suspect that he was trying to crush Xu Youning’s chin.
Mu Sijue’s voice was no longer as cold and sharp as it had been just now. He just said in disbelief and in great pain, “Xu Youning, you bought the medicine because you didn’t want this child. But you have been back for so long, and I have clearly told you that I want this child. I even want to marry you, but why can’t you accept the existence of the child?”
“…” Xu Youning could not make any sound at all, let alone answer Mu Sijue.
Mu Sijue did not realize he was stopping Xu Youning from answering. He suddenly tightened his grip and ordered, “Xu Youning, answer me.”
His strength was beyond Xu Youning’s tolerance, so she finally opened her mouth and whimpered, “Ah…”
If it was in the past, Mu Sijue would probably be softhearted.
However, from now on, it would never happen again.
Since Xu Youning could ruthlessly kill a child, why should he be softhearted toward her?
Xu Youning closed her eyes and gritted her teeth to hold back the tears that were about to fall.
Mu Sijue firmly believed that she had killed their child, so even if she shed tears, Mu Sijue would not believe her.
Mu Sijue considered Xu Youning’s actions as an evasion tactic, and he sneered and said, “Since you don’t want to answer this question, I’ll answer for you, okay?”
“…”
Xu Youning opened her eyes and stared at Mu Sijue, with a look of confusion in her eyes.
“Mu Sijue was not her, so how could he answer this question for her?”
“How did he know what her answer would be?”
Mu Sijue released Xu Youning’s chin, but before Xu Youning could even take a deep breath, he suddenly grabbed her by the neck.
In an instant, as if something was stuck in her throat, Xu Youning felt herself on the brink of suffocation. She subconsciously looked at Mu Sijue for help, signaling him to let her go.
What she did not know was that Mu Sijue had already warned himself not to feel any compassion for her.
He did not loosen his grip at all, and questioned her, “Xu Youning, you never believed me, did you?”
The feeling of suffocation increased. Xu Youning looked at Mu Sijue, her face racked with pain. She became more confused as if she did not understand what Mu Sijue meant.
Mu Sijue sneered and said, “You always think that I am your grandma’s murderer. You never suspected Kang Ruicheng, and you have been eager to return to Kang Ruicheng since you came to the top of the mountain, so you are unwilling to give birth to my child, right?”
“Oh…”
Xu Youning protested with difficulty, motioning for Mu Sijue to release her.
As long as Mu Sijue stopped gripping her neck, maybe she could explain it to Mu Sijue clearly.
However, as if he did not see Xu Youning begging for mercy, Mu Sijue asked angrily, “Xu Youning, why don’t you believe me?”
Xu Youning shook her head with despair in her eyes.
Mu Sijue thought that the child had no vital signs because of her. He was probably utterly disappointed in her, wasn’t he?
At this time, however hard she begged Mu Sijue or wanted to explain it to him, Mu Sijue would not give her a chance.
At that moment, Xu Youning was even more desperate than she had been when she saw her grandmother’s corpse.
Just then, there was a rapid knock on the door, accompanied by Ah Guang’s urgent voice. “Seventh Brother, emergency!”
After that, before Mu Sijue could answer, Ah Guang pushed the door open and walked in.
It was early in the morning, so Mu Sijue and Xu Youning should not be doing something illicit in the ward, right?
When he entered the ward, Ah Guang was dumbfounded
Mu Sijue and Xu Youning were not doing anything illicit, but what they were doing was much more serious than the former!
Ah Guang threw caution to the winds, rushed forward and removed Mu Sijue’s hand, and stood in front of Xu Youning. “Seventh Brother, what are you doing!”
“Ah Guang,” Mu Sijue said imperatively, “get out of my way!”
“No,” Ah Guang said as he stood firmly before Xu Youning, “Seventh Brother, no matter what happened between you and Sister Youning, there is something more important now. Kang Ruicheng sent another email!”
Kang Ruicheng’s email was often about Tang Yulan.
Mu Sijue looked serious and said, “Give me the phone.”
Ah Guang directly handed a tablet computer to Mu Sijue, which he carried around with him for convenience.
Mu Sijue logged in to his mailbox and clicked on the first email directly.
This time, Kang Ruicheng did not send any photos but sent an audio file as an attachment. Judging from the file format, it should be a recording.
Needless to say, this recording was definitely not pleasant.
However, it was about Auntie Tang.
So Mu Sijue still opened the file and played it.
Kang Ruicheng’s voice came first. “Uncle He, how is Mrs. Tang?”
After a moment of silence, a slightly old voice sounded. “Ah Cheng, you’d better send her to the hospital as soon as possible. If it goes on like this, this old lady will die in three days.”
“Mu Sijue, did you hear that?” After that, Kang Ruicheng slowly said to Mu Sijue, “You only have three days left. Once you missed it, Mrs. Tang will join my father.”
This sentence was heard very clearly, and it was not difficult to guess that Kang Ruicheng said it directly into the recording device. Therefore, his tone was very threatening.
“Granny Tang, Granny Tang…” Mumu’s voice was recorded from afar. In his tone, there was a hint of anxiety that did not match his age. “Wake up, wake up, okay?”
Then the recording was over.
Ah Guang’s face scrunched up and he said, “Seventh Brother, the situation is really urgent. What should we do?”
It was hard to tell whether Mu Sijue looked anxious or angry. There was a trace of heavy gloom in his dark eyes, and he ordered Ah Guang, “You get out first.”
Ah Guang glanced at Xu Youning. Although he was worried, he did not dare to disobey Mu Sijue’s order at this critical moment, so he could only nod and say, “Okay.”
After Ah Guang went out, Mu Sijue glanced at Xu Youning.
Xu Youning’s mind was filled with Uncle He’s statement that Auntie Tang could not hold on for more than three days.
At the moment when she heard that, the air rushed into Xu Youning’s lungs. Her breathing became level, and her reasoning also returned.
At present, she had three important things to do.
First, she had to save Tang Yulan.
Second, she needed to figure out if the blood clot in her brain affected the result of her pregnancy checkup.
Third, if possible, she hoped that she could keep her illness from Mu Sijue.
Before today, these three things had been impossible. But after Mu Sijue misunderstood her, as long as she did one thing, these three things could happen naturally.
What she needed to do was to let him continue to misunderstand her intentions…
“Xu Youning, I’ll give you a chance to explain everything clearly to me. Maybe I can forgive you.”
Mu Sijue said the last sentence very calmly and firmly.
Even though Xu Youning had done something unforgivable, he still could not bear to do anything harmful to her. He even kept telling himself that Xu Youning probably had done this for some reason.
As long as Xu Youning told him the reason.
Even if Xu Youning’s reason was as unforgivable as what she had done, Mu Sijue would still choose to forgive her.
He just wanted Xu Youning to tell him the truth.
Xu Youning looked into Mu Sijue’s eyes and said, “There’s nothing to explain.”
Mu Sijue’s face instantly clouded. “Xu Youning, I’ll give you one last chance.”
“Mu Sijue, there’s nothing to explain!” Xu Youning repeated what she said. “I admit to what you said.”
“Xu Youning, are you courting death?” Mu Sijue grabbed Xu Youning’s collar all of a sudden and roared as if he were threatening his opponent, “I want to hear the truth!”
Xu Youning gritted her teeth and stopped herself from making any sound.
The child was gone, but Mu Sijue was still willing to give her a chance, which was enough to show that Mu Sijue would not kill her.
As long as she held on, as long as Mu Sijue continued to misunderstand her, Auntie Tang would have a chance to go to the hospital. She could also hide her illness from Mu Sijue and find out if her child was still alive.
If the blood clot indeed affected the result of her pregnancy checkup, she would definitely protect herself and her child.
If the child was really gone, she did not want to live on.
Thinking about it, Xu Youning closed her eyes, ready to face and resist the storm from Mu Sijue…
